This video is brought to you
by Storyblocks Video -Hey guys, Jordy here for cinecom.net
and welcome to Copy Cat Friday! In this weekly series we recreate visual
effects from famous films and music videos. And today we are going to take a look
at 3 transitions from the new music video 'Boasty' by Wiley and
a bunch of other artists. And we’re going to recreate everything inside
Adobe Premiere Pro, which it’s gonna make it
super awesome! -Yannick, go ahead and sing! [Cinecom's intro music] Today we're taking a look
at a smaller artist, who reached the trending page
on Youtube this week. It's Wiley together with Sean Paul and
Stefflon Don, featuring Idris Elba. I personally love their music video, ‘Boasty’,
because of all the transitions in there. Not all transitions are world shocking, but
they've payed great attention to detail. Usually, we instantly see how
an effect was made if you play it back frame by frame. But this time, it was honestly
pretty challenging. Now, before I'm gonna show you guys how to recreate the three transitions
you saw in the intro, I'd first like to thank Storyblocks Video
for sponsoring this episode. Storyblocks is an online library that
we almost use on a daily basis. You can find visuals effects in there,
transitions, slideshow templates, motion graphics and high quality
4K stock clips. I can just download as much as I want with an active subscription
without additional fees. And that's one of the things that is
so incredible about this library. I can highly recommend to
check it out yourself, which you can do by clicking the first link
in the description below! And now, let's build a set! [Upbeat music] -We don’t have a huge sound mixer, so that’s why we’re going to work
with old keyboards, a color grading mixer from Loupedeck,
an iPad and a very old amplifier. Let's start off with the advanced
zoom transition. Of course, you don't need
the same setup as we do, simply look for a room that has a window. You can shoot it handheld, but if you
wanna recreate it like in the music video, then place your camera on
a slider or on a tripod. Make a long shot of the window and push
your camera forward on the two front legs, if you’re working with a tripod. Then take your camera and move it
into the space behind the window. To make the transition work best, pay
attention that you take up the same stand. In Adobe Premiere Pro, place
your long shot into the timeline. Select the clip and head over
to your Effects Controls. From here, start the animation
for the scale and the position on the point where you want
the zoom to start. Then go a couple of frames forward
in time and increase the scale, plus reposition the clip
so that you zoom into the window. Now usually we would animate something
like this using the Transform effect. This effect has all the same
properties as the Motion, but it also comes with an option
to set a motion blur. However, in the music video itself there’s
also no motion blur in the animation. This was probably an artistic choice. So if you do want the motion blur,
just use the Transform tool. Alright, next up, place the close up shot
on top of the other clip and align them so that
the action within matches. From the moment the zoom
from the first clip starts, we're also gonna let the second clip start. Scale down and reposition that clip
so that it fits within the window. Then start Animation for the
scale and the position, move one frame forward in time
and adjust the scale and position so that it follows the clip underneath. Keep doing this for the rest
of the animation. Your final keyframe should cover
the entire screen. When you're done,
go back to the beginning and click on the Rectangle Mask
tool under Opacity. Move that shape so that it
perfectly covers the window. Now start animation for the mask path and then change the rectangle frame
by frame, to keep the window covered. On the last keyframe, you can enlarge
the mask to go outside of the canvas. And then the final touch, add a cross
dissolve in the beginning of the top clip. But make sure that
it's only two frames long. [Music] Transition number 2!
The paper crumple. In the music video they've actually
done it all in digital 3D. It's a lot of work and I can only imagine
two reasons why they did it that way. Either to preserve the colors and
get the smoothest transition possible, or maybe they didn't know which
clip they should have printed out. Either way, we're going to
do it the easy way. So make up your choice from which
shot you wanna transition from and print out the last frame from it. Basically, you just wanna hold
that paper in front of the lens and pull it back and
crumple it, if you like. In Premiere Pro, place the
two shots next to each other. If you synchronize them, a simple cut
will already give a nice transition. But we're going to make it
a little bit more smoother. To do that, move three frames up from
your second clip, and add a cut in there. Hold down the alt key and drag
the left part on top of your first clip. Then stand in the beginning
of that duplicated clip, right-click and choose Frame Hold. We're going to use the fingers
and add a little animation to it. So, from the opacity property of that clip, click on the Pen tool and draw
a mask around your fingers. Then from the end of the clip create
an animation for the position property. Move to the beginning of the finger clip
and then move it to the top, outside of the frame. Your fingers are now animated
so that they come in and that it seems like they grab
the original video. So what I wanna do next is
search for the Directional Blur and add that to the first clip. From where my fingers come in,
I start animation for the blur length and increase that by the end of the clip. I also noticed that the real shot and the
photo do not match in position and scale. So I also animated that in the first clip. I let it scale up a little bit
and then I push it down so that it moves down with the fingers. And that's the little trick to make
the paper transition a bit more smooth. [Music] That brings us to the final transition,
which is the lens-cover wipe! It's the easiest one of all,
but personally, my favorite. In your first shot, you simply do an act
and then the camera wipes away. I would suggest to do this on a tripod. And try to remember, approximately,
at which speed you're panning. In your second shot, you let
the talent move his hand in, cover the lens and then
pull the camera towards him. And again, it is best that you do
this with a camera operator, so that you see what the
framing is on the end. In Premiere pro, place
the two shots in your timeline so that the second one overlapses
the other on the end. This is the part where your
hand comes in. Then with the top clips selected,
head over to the opacity property from which you take the Pen tool
and draw a mask around your hand. When you're done, start the
animation for the Mask Path and make sure that the mask
follows your hand as you move. During the transition I open my hand, here I just enlarge the mask on the left
so that it reveals the second clip. When you're done, play around
with the Feather of the mask and if needed also the Expansion,
so that nobody will notice the actual mask. And that's it! [Music] And those were the top 3 transitions
from Boasty. Thank you guys so much for watching,
thank you Storyblocks for the support and as always: Stay Creative! -Jordy, catch! -Every sound music mixer studio
needs the Auralex foam! -Wheee! -That was much harder than expected.
