AR Week 2 Image Based AR
This wasn’t actually too difficult once I was able to isolate the parts in Photoshop. Once I brought the assets into After Effects, I just animated the two halves getting pulled apart with translation keys and had the cheese scale in the x direction. To finish it off, I had the text pop back in.This actually didn’t take that long at all to do so I decided to do another AR thing.
I looked around for some upcoming movies, unfortunately the Matrix 4 and John Wick 4 posters haven’t been made yet but luckily the new Dune movie was. I decided that it would look pretty cool if I could incorporate some of the book’s elements into the poster and make it visually cool and give some hints to what the movie is like. It was super tedious isolating all these elements in Photoshop as well as filling in the background with whatever witchcraft I knew but it worked out.
I decided it might be cool to have the characters on the poster fade in with sand particles, so i figured that out with some tutorials on Youtube and some scripting. I also animated some masks to help sell the effect as well as have the names of the actors appear with them.
I had the title appear with some 3D animation and lens flare to make it sci-fi looking since this is one of the most well renown sci-fi titles. And lastly I had the sand wurm come out and eat the viewer as a finisher, strangely I feel like it’s kind of hidden in the original poster so maybe my AR idea helps make that element really pop It was a bunch of layers and work but I think I was happy with the overall outcome.
