Subaru in Motion: An After Effects Experiment

Just testing out some techniques in After Effects using an awesome shot of one of my favorite cars, the Subaru WRX STi.

This was made using only Adobe After Effects and Adobe Photoshop CS3.
I essentially cut the photo into different pieces, placed them staggered throughout 3D space, added some camera movement, then used the liquify effect to make the dirt and dust appear to be moving.

As always, like, comment, and subscribe, and since this was my first attempt at something like this, kindness is appreciated, but criticism is welcome. THANKS!!

looks good.. is there any way to do that with an actual video.. like.. make it do that effect and go into it going normal speed from the video?

@killme4food if you shot at high rate of frames per second it would be very simple to just use a technique called time remapping

[qordndid]

pretty good but wouldn't the wheel be spinning more than that?

[HurricaneJXXN]

@qordndid it probably would, you're right, but the way I animated it sort of limited the range of motion while still looking realistic. Thanks for the comment

That's an interesting idea - how long did that take?

[HurricaneJXXN]

@l0gically about three hours from concept to upload, not too bad

[mrduck50]

they used that sort of animation in need for speed most wanted

[lutenant3]

kl.,did you just warp the the picture where the dirt is.,i have used time remapping in my newest video.,

[benlui]

3d layers and camera animation lol you call that experiment

[youngfreestlouis]

I understand what you did, but you should do a tutorial of this because you very expertly composed this!  Great job!

[justinbeabersadouche]

sick!!!! but if u made it a little longer than itd b better... but thats kinda hard so ya

[boldycheloo]

Really well done :D congrats..could you send me a PM to tell me how you animated the dirt?

[niquelapeaulisse]
