This is a walk-through on how to achieve a realistic shotgun blow-back in Adobe After Effects. I will cover techniques in camera operation, masking, and layering.

  • you probably could have avoided a lot of work by just angling the shot so you can't see the mattress or the other person in the back, but this is an awesome shot! Well done!

  • @therondoshow Thanks, but I try not to frame my shots in a way that will be easiest in post...The overall point of this project was to test my skills and take them to another level. So I chose this specific shot because it would be challenging. And In my opinion from this angle, it looked better and more believable then if it were just straight on.

  • is the HP Pavilion DV7-1133CL 17.0-Inch Laptop (2 GHz AMD Turion X2 RM-70 Dual-Core Processor, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB Hard Drive,DVD Drive, Vista Premium 64 Bit) HP compatible with AE cs4?

  • @biggestwwefanlogan yes it is compatible with CS4. you are running a good amount of ram so you should be fine. If you working with HD footage 720p or 1080p, I would suggest a more powerful processor. But, I have seen people work with less than what you have. Sorry It took so long for me to respond.

  • does the apple computer come with this editing software

  • @WingWeeMovies No, you have to buy the Adobe creative suit or the Production suit to get After Effects. Or you can buy it as a stand alone but I would suggest getting at least Premiere to go with it.

  • you could have saved yourself a lot of work by using a green or blue sheet behind the guy

  • @JohnyBKilla Alright fair enough - but how about this: have the actor move just a few inches less into the building, so the arms are never shown anyway. You would still have to mask the mattress, but the arms would be taken care of.

  • @JohnyBKilla ok kl thnx

  • @JohnyBKilla Pk Thanks and just saying youre like another freddiew ur movies are awesome
