Matrix Agent Morph

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?

[AJR3]

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.

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 ?

[AJR3]

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.
