This is a test of the agent morph effect seen in the matrix movies along with a raining code. Made entirely in After Effects, first attempt at green screening.


I have still not been able to create a video tutorial on how I have done this effect, so here is a relative text one.

First, I had two videos of me and by friend in front of a greenscreen (actually bright green felt). I just did some weird moving my face around and he did the arm thing...you get the point. I found a neat picture of some old abandoned Hospitol for the background and gave it the "Matrix Tint".

So I layered the Agent on top of the "civilian" and lined them up to the relative time that the morph was complete. I masked out the agent layer and basically slowly revealed it at the right times. The rest was the Liquify filter. The entire technique was a very tedious rotoscoping thing.

For the code, I used the Digital Anarchy Text Anarchy Matrix filter and made a basic animation and duplicated it five times and made the layers 3d and positioned them on the walls.

  • Is "Digital Anarchy" some kind of text software, or something in After Effects?

  • Digital Anarchy creates plugins for various programs including after effects. This video uses their "Text Anarchy" plugin which allows easy animation of the Matrix Raining Code.

  • oh nooo ur friend morphed into a mindless business man =O

  • Lol, though it was me who turned into him, not the other way around.

  • omg.. that's so awesome? how did u make the first morph thing? can you pl tell me briefly? and hjow dod you mke thaose green stuff go on the walls ?

  • Main effects were keying, and liquify filter.

    For the walls, I made a raining code animation and used After Effects 3D Space to position the layers on the walls.

    See Video Description for more details.
