VFX Test: Bullet Time in After Effects

[thegamercave]

nothing about this video is realistic or even eye catching..it sucks

[phantombest1220]

the trigger pull isn't realistic.

[MrSpencerFahlman]

i honestly thought that was real. omg

[hd50tyson1]

this sucks because its not realistic, im sure this was one of your first pieces, and hopefully you got better! the muzzle flare is to cartoonish and the bullet is just to sharp and perfect... where is your new stuff?

[TheColorlessEye]

pretty cool..

[ZoxinTV]

Needs more motion blur and speed ramps.

[Justinian43]

why are there so many dislikes?? fucking trolls yo!

[kbkozlev]

It's pretty good, but to make it look more realistic you need to make the bullet spin :)

[ZedSahil]

that's what u call VFX? Spare me! :x

[UlTraAlEx100]

00:06 BOOM

[jaybirrd84]

2d rules

[HENRYwhyIFY]

i think people clicked on it because the were looking for matrix style dodging.

[VFXTests]

@ClearEditing this has nothing in common with VideoCopilot's product "The Bullet". VC teaches you how to create a 3D bullet in a 3D software and then composite it in After Effects. It is a great tutorial but the whole technique is different from this.

My video was completely created inside of After Effects using flat layers animated in 3D space.

[paul0wn4life]

@ClearEditing Your right.

[BHIFilms]

Where did you get your gun, and how much?

[VFXTests]

@BHIFilms it's a toy gun and i have no idea how it cost, sry ;-)

[spycell]

@BHIFilms You can buy airsoft guns with gas blowback (GBB) A bit more realistic look to it, with a price range from 60 to 150 USD.

[Bauklotzgranaten]

why so many thumbs down ? Make it better !

[JVI1zombie]

made in china!!

[SkiiLLeDxOwNeD]

Tip: Bullets are NOT that sharp :)

[Patryk737]

You hatin but 95% of you couldn't do that without tutorial -.-

[GURRILLAkCA]

the muzzle flare could have been better, but anyway great job.

[WingsofPhantom]

y  so many dislikes?

[karlgookey]

You should also animate the bullet rotating since bullets rotate as they fly through the air.

[TheLOLOx666]

did you make this in paint ???

[10GreenDay01]

@TheLOLOx666 Good luck making this in paint dumbass..

[ThePucciano]

Looks unrealistics,

You have a blank gun, then use it and fire it real.

Also the Trigger, the Finger are a little bit faster then the Trigger.

Googled a real 3ds file from a 9x19 bulet.

Else, good Job!

[xxPsycoTechxx]

@ThePucciano It's called a TEST for a reason. Proof of concept. The Mona Lisa wasn't done overnight.

[legoneurt]

Why does everybody dislike this? They can't even make a movie in windows movie maker and if they film, they're filming with a teeth brush!

[saturnpictures333]

very mokkai

[DanielMedcalf]

It's good but the bullet didn't spin. :(

[TheFadTrick]

thats so funny

[FXMcweather]

Nice job is there any tutorial ?

[VFXTests]

@FXMcweather nope sry, there is no tut. i just animated several still images ;-)

[FXMcweather]

@VFXTests ok : (

[bradybraidz]

@VFXTests so it was the VideoCoPilot tutorial?

[Aerocasso]

great video but the only thing you should add is the spin on the bullet

[Syrpens]

is that a USP?

[BadManFifi]

What with all the dislikes!!!! :O

[en197455]

this doesnt deserve 255 dilikes!!

[ielvisthegreat]

wow this is bad

[TRUCKERmassaker]

No

[ACTIONliam]

why is there so many dislikes? people need to relax a little, i bet 90% of the people who disliked couldnt even do this, let alone anything better.

[EchozHazE]

What's up with the dislikes?  lol

[EliteSniper1110]

Next time make it so the pin doesn't move unless it's a revolver

[khenpokunga88]

look like very fake

[Motion1Master]

Shouldn't the bullet be rotating and have a logo on it?

[theHACCA]

dude I'll never be able to do better than this... but I think you can do better man....

this video is shit

(not hatin.. just sayin )

[cj64films]

awesome camera crappy effect

[IIGalahad]

man, this is considerably good

[Krypton117]

hahahah

[HapplyFace]

the bullet should be spinning...

[Mach5GamingClan]

lol someone doesnt know how a gun works XD

[KrykoStorm]

It's like I'm really watching a Flash animation.

[LepraProductions]

how did this get so many dislikes? its actulally good :P

[jason829000829]

what u hunting vamps lol put color on the bullet

[M4DM4N789]

This has more dislike than likes but more positive comments than negative. =D YEAH!!!!

[krakatoa47]

USP45 COMPACT FTW :D

[Arniicko]

how did you made those bullet trails?

[VFXTests]

@Arniicko that was simply an adjustment layer with some displacement on it ;-)

[Arniicko]

@VFXTests please make a tutorial ... uhm is it just a plain solid or with texture?

[VFXTests]

@Arniicko it's simply a plain adjustment layer linked to the bullet so that it stays right behind it ;-)

[vanhakaveri]

@Arniicko Displacement map

[FreeAnimation]

Haha its a picture of a bullet.

[14Thye]

Man, nice work!

[unbee73]

fake xD

[lutenant3]

nice vid,.I subed.

[lutenant3]

can somebody check out my vids ,please.I make action vids,I will be uploading more vids soon.comment and like please.sub and i will sub back,just message me and i know to sub back to you,THANKS.

[danielodors]

Can I buy stocks from your corporation?

[VFXTests]

@danielodors no, i don't sell anything ;-)

[hXc232]

why is there a cocking noise at the start when its a semi-auto and the hammer is still forward?

[VFXTests]

@hXc232 it's only there because i wanted to make it look/sound cool ;-)....not because it is supposed to be very realistic ;-)

[hXc232]

@VFXTests lol fair enough, still a good job anyway, probably better than what i can do :P

[Macmillanslostwife]

@hXc232 dude, who fuckings care?

[SuperLegoMinifigure]

that is not bullet time...sorry that is the Wanted bullet thing

[VFXTests]

@SuperLegoMinifigure there is no definition for a "bullet time" :P....i just wanted to show that it is possible to make a bullet-time-like effect without any expensive 3D programs ;-)

[ATKGFX]

awsome!

[acml26]

co za asy

[BodokhProductions]

thats not 3d bullet time...

[VFXTests]

@BodokhProductions did i ever claim it is a 3D bullet?

[BodokhProductions]

@VFXTests no, but it suppost to be i mean there is no point in doing it 2D thats way to easy

[VFXTests]

@BodokhProductions well i wouldnt use this in a complete scene but i don't believe it's so easy that everybody here could do it ;-)

and why not in 2D? why not show the people you can do a nice bullet time effect without a 3D program ;-)

[BrianMastermind]

nice but the air in front of the bullet should be warped since the bullet is actually cutting through the air

[PeMazProductions]

No Recoil.

[InSaNeQuIcKsCoPeS]

nice recoil.

[SuperAwesome409]

could i use this for the background for my intro, if i credited you in it?

[VFXTests]

@SuperAwesome409 an intro for your youtube-channel?

[SuperAwesome409]

@VFXTests yep that is what i was planning

[VFXTests]

@SuperAwesome409 okay yeah then you may use it

[SuperAwesome409]

@VFXTests ok cool thanks man

[DynaDuctINC]

Seriously guys... VFX is tough... Sure the muzzle flash wasn't great and the sound effects sucked (try adding an underlying laser zap) but this is really good

[R3LL0323]

this is better than most ppl are giving it credit for. They probably dont even know the first step to doing this. thumbs up from me

[walidmosallam]

do u mind if i use this?

[VFXTests]

@walidmosallam depends on what you want it to use for?

[walidmosallam]

a background effect on a track I'm recording.. I'm a rapper..

[VFXTests]

@walidmosallam so you only want to use the sound?

[screwloose455]

@VFXTests

lol he's retarded.

[CARLISLOL]

hmm...i'm wondering why the cap of the bullet is so quick like her....

[VFXTests]

@CARLISLOL that's only for making it look cooler ;-) i know it's not realistic^^

[Elternabendfilm]

crap...

[bukie89fella]

fucking nice ass quality but the fire that came out ruined it :P

[RYUcaEU]

fatto malissimo.

[RYUcaEU]

ORRIBLE.... -.-

[mrzambex]

unrealistic

[langweiler97]

cool

[mrfizzzzzzzy]

well done

[lxTwisteDxl]

:o tutorial please, im desperate to make this effect for a movie im doing , without any 3d programs

[VFXTests]

@lxTwisteDxl this effect is actually pretty limited. you can't rotate around the gun or anything because everything was done using still images.

sry i can't make a tut

[lxTwisteDxl]

@lxTwisteDxl Hey, i actually made it, using a 3d program.. just one question, could you show me how to make the little trail behind the bullet?

[VFXTests]

@lxTwisteDxl just put some displacement effects on a Adjustment Layer and then add a mask to the layer and animate its path.

[lxTwisteDxl]

@VFXTests ok, thanks, i will try it soon

[quechus13]

@lxTwisteDxl kid wihout 3d you cant do good shit.

[lxTwisteDxl]

@quechus13 Yeah , i just used Maya to make my 3d bullet, quite easy actually

[MrBenjus]

LOOOOL

[VRBstudios3000]

check out mine, it's a bit different

[tommson13]

this looks so fake. also so awesome!!!!!!

[mrjamo100]

AWESOME!!!! you did use a greenscreen huh

[VFXTests]

@mrjamo100 no there was actually no video footage used for this. i just animated still images

[TheAssassin111]

kjw P8?

[VFXTests]

@TheAssassin111 sry but what do you mean?

[TheAssassin111]

@VFXTests thats the gun u have.

[HelpfulPlez]

@VFXTests He is asking what gun you used. KJW is an airsoft manufacturer and P8 the model.

Also, it isn't, because KJW guns have grey slides and are plastic.

[renegade2124]

@VFXTests it's the airsoft gun you're using. :)

[xADTRx22]

good video,

just one thing.

the sound was a little off.

it should have been a few second later.

most guns shoot faster than the speed of sound, so the bullet should have exited the barrel of the gun, then as or a just a half second later the sound should have came.

but great job, keep it up.

[MrEmiXaM]

paper gun

[THISISMYELAMENT]

pretty good, just the bullet looks wierd, good but wierd haha

[sunk777]

Muzzle flask and sound kinda sucks

[enjoiskate11]

muzzle flask is kinda lame

[soviet86]

the mussle flash is a bit off, look at some reference and use sprites or particles if you know how. the camera work is good and the gun action is ok too. nice !

[tunelorden]

work much more with the bullet other is good =)

[Eslamm94]

good see mine

[zerofatalframe]

all was nice except with the fire burst.. its a lil off..

[Jazza159]

awesome

[TheFXGuy]

its okay, but looks pretty fake. You can tell the gun and finger aren't real.

[KOundCO]

nicht schlecht, vor allem weil es self-made ist..... doch hättest du es nach dem tutorial von andrew kramer gemacht (wie ich) hättest du es noch um einiges besser machen können.....

[VFXTests]

klar es gibt immer eine möglichkeit etwas noch besser zu machen. aber ich habe mir "The Bullet" nicht gekauft, kenne daher auch nicht das tutorial, und ich habe auch kein 3D animationsprogramm

[KOundCO]

oh......das erklärt natürlich alles :D

[mitch3555]

u know every bullet time iv seen not 1 haz recoil

[Jsavolainen]

The gun has not yet reacted to the pressure.

[mitch3555]

az soon az the gun moves bak to the max thats wen it hits u and u move and it went all the way bak and nuffin happend

[TheKSProduction]

mine does ;)

[TDO615]

@TheKSProduction uhm no yours doenst either it doesnt spin and that muzzle flash was wack

[TDO615]

@TheKSProduction ur bullet videos the axe one and the eye zoom one

[TDO615]

@TheKSProduction that particle world preset muzzle flash in teh eye zoom and u were 13 no big deal its common sense that a bullet spins im 12 and without spin it just doesnt give u this feeling. and i didnt say anything about blowback it would be kind of hard to add blowback to a gun at that perspective. anyways all im saying is that yours doesnt look that realistic either

[TDO615]

@TheKSProduction ok well watever they dont look realistic and no u dont learn on your own because that bullet is video copilot

[VFXTests]

this effect isn't from video copilot...i just took several still images and animated them

[TDO615]

@VFXTests nonono this is a reply to theksproduction

[constableWilliamson]

@TDO615 this one is definitely not from video copilot.

[TDO615]

@constableWilliamson nonono not the video the other guy's video

[Iamename]

@TDO615 This is not video copilot.. if it was it would have been looking like video copilot and not like some home-made effect. (not saying it's bad, very good actually) but it's not close to what it'd be with video copilot and I doubt the guy who did this one would make it worse than video copilot if he had the video copilot bullet thingy :) if u get my point.

[VFXTests]

@Iamename

you got it :)

i just tried to make a bullet time that doesn't use any 3D software ;)

[realderekbrothers]

@VFXTests its too pointe make the bullet top a little bit rounder besides that its awesome

[TDO615]

@Iamename OOO MMMM GGG I WAS REPLYING TO THE OTHER COMMENT ON HIS VIDEO COPILOT VIDEO

[john26989]

its heckler&koch usp airsoft?

[VFXTests]

sry but i have no idea what brand it is from....(but there was a logo on it that said "Umarex P8" - don't know if that's the brand or the model)

[BroyhillVideo]

could have been better, but its a good technique. I did the same thing on one of my videos.

[alterdkyle]

muzzle flash should come behind the bullet not in front but otherwise pretty good

[TDO615]

animated gun shooting a bullet ANIMATED GUN

[VFXTests]

that gun is not animated...

i took a picture of that toy gun and broke it into several layers so that i could animate the particular part (its position) individually

i'm sorry if this didn't answer your question!?

[TDO615]

where'd u get teh model?

[VFXTests]

what model do you mean?

the gun? -> it's a toy gun.

[93Zero93]

nice vid man ,

cool bullet time

[Hex72]

I only liked the introduction, the way the background changed focus to the gun.

Then again, that's easily done.

[ChagasProductions]

the bullet its suposed to spin but nice anyway

[Noisyfm1]

@ChagasProductions i thought the bullet did spin, but.....hic!....then again, I'm drunk.....hic.....

[plkazi]

A++++

[MrLuvalover09]

shit muzzle flash but good bullet
