    Make any footage into a grid of emoji. Using after effects, we can convert any layer (video, animation, photo, text) into emoji. Or any image really. These procedural methods will open up new ways of thinking about effects and procedural graphics in after effects. Using a simple conversion and simplification of footage, organization of elements, and a little clever use of utility effect, you'll be making procedural grids of emoji in no time!

    Omg thank you so much!!! This effect is awesome! I’ve been using after effects for so many years and your tutorials, just like andres Kramer, always open my eyes to just how powerful the software is (I’ve been using it for over 10 years but due to lack of formal training, couldn’t even pass the expert level certification if I tried). I’m probably gonna have to watch it one or two more times just really wrap my head around these concepts, but I absolutely fucking love procedural effects. As an audio engineer, I love creating sounds and FX procedurally, using as many elements from the track to create effects and filters and whatnot, and being able to do it with video is great!

      I suppose there is a lot of overlap in procedural graphics and audio. A source, routed into modifiers, modifying those modifiers,; all inputs, outputs, selections and conversions. At a certain level maybe all things become the same thing. Or I'm overthinking it.

      I can look into it. I can't promise that the possible solutions would be particularly satisfying though. Either you'll be running simulations and leveraging 3rd party tools, or doing frame by frame work. But, I can look into it. It might be an interesting subject to examine from a few angles.

    • @ECAbrams
      @ECAbrams  2 роки тому +1

      Anything is possible. But, imagine if you have a wall of 2000 emoji, and each one needs its own expression to say which image it should display. That's 2000 expressions evaluated on every frame, and 2000 layers. So, it's quickly getting less streamlined. But perhaps there is a better way.

    Trying to figure out a way to be zoomed in on one pixel, then pull back to reveal the full grid. Running into resolution issues though. I guess the solution would be to increase the resolution on the pixel size?

    • @ECAbrams
      @ECAbrams  Місяць тому +1

      Generally, that's the way to go. Make the smallest thing that you'll see the closest as large as you can tolerate. There is some finessing that can be done with vectors and collapsed transformations. But, anything raster is still going to get strange and you might want to set the control layer to have linear quality so it doesn't get muddy edges. Another thing to consider is to take a "video gamey" approach. Meaning, have a large hero element, and a central patch that is also large, but it all fades imperceptibly into the largest grid that will be of lower-quality sprites.
