This video is brought to you
by Storyblocks Video Hey guys, Yannick here for cinecom.net,
and welcome to another Copy Cat Friday. A series where we recreate effects from
famous movies and music videos. And today we are recreating
the effect from Jain, ‘Come’. -Lorenzo, where are you? Lorenzo! [Cinecom's intro music] Lorenzo! Lorenzo! Damn, guys, we really lost lorenzo. This is not good, we need him here so he can help with
filming the explanation of the effect. Lorenzo! Oh, you are back, Lorenzo! Thank god! -I’ve seen things, horrible things. Okay, get back to work now. Okay, now that Lorenzo is back from his
shenanigans we can start with the tutorial. But first I would like to do a quick shoutout
to Storyblocks Video for sponsoring us. This is a video library which I very often
use, for work and private videos. But you can find more than
just videos on Storyblocks Video. It is also packed with effects, transitions,
templates, animations and so much more. There're hundreds of thousands
video assets that you can download without additional fees. Click the first link in the description
below for more information. Now for the effect for this week,
we chose to recreate something out of an older music video
named ‘Come’ by the artist Jain. This music video is packed with effects
and we had to choose one, otherwise this would be a very,
very long video. And by seeing the intro you already
know which effect, of course. So without further ado,
let's start the building montage. [High energy music] -Yesterday I tested the effect and I only
used two C-stands and a green screen. -Yannick, catch! -Look what Jordy took today! I think we over killed it. -Totally not, totally not. Like I was saying, this
here is very useful, so that all of these poles right
here won’t glide and fall on the ground, so we’re using everything today. This right here, very useful as well, because where else am I going
to put my jacket on? There we go, we’re making
everything useful! -Like I said, two C-stands
and a green screen. [Music] Okay, we built everything. And now it’s time to explain
what we are going to use. First, a tripod… …with an invisible camera. That’s an effect for another video. But we need a tripod because
we need to match two shots, the green screen shot
and the normal shot. And this is easier with a tripod. Next up are the green screens. We used two green screens because
we need to create this opening, so somebody can go through
or back in. We used clamps on the back
so that we can create this opening. Next up, is this big diffuser. We are using this because
we are outside. And the sun is too hard, so we need
this diffuser to create soft lighting. And this you can see on
this beautiful green screen. We need this diffuse light because the
shadows can be hard on a green screen, otherwise you can’t key it. The last thing we need
is this black screen. We’re gonna put it behind
the green screen, so when a person goes through
the hole in the green screen, they step into the black, “into the void”, you can say… Last but not least, the clothes you’re
wearing are also very important. Because if they are too reflective,
the key won’t work that great. So, to make it yourself easier,
wear something dark, something black. This won’t reflect that much. Okay, that covers the setup that you need,
but I forgot to explain one more thing. When everything is setup
and you are ready to start shooting, you need to close the aperture
of your camera. I would say something around
f-9 or 10 will do. We do this because we have two subjects
that need to be in focus at the same time and they aren't standing
on the same line. Then it's time to make
the shot with the green screen. Just film from a tripod and let
the actor go through the green screen. Then when he is completely gone, you
can either really carefully stop recording or let the camera just roll. It's very important that
the camera doesn't move. Now move the green screen and
the rest of the set up out of the frame. Then let the second actor stand on
his place and film him doing his thing. And that are all the shots
you need for this effect. Before we jump into
Premiere Pro now, I would first like to show you
guys something special. In December we reached
one million subscribers and decided to do something
for a charity active in Sri Lanka. Their main goal is improving
the education for the kids there. And When seeing this we immediately felt
a connection with them and had to help. We did a fundraising asking all
our viewers to donate a small sum to a GoFundMe page. This money would then help with
building schools or restoring them. And Guys, you really came through. This week we received the first
pictures from Sri Lanka, where they just placed a new
part of a small school. They used the money to build it by local
workers and the parents of the school kids. In the summer a few people from here
will go to Sri Lanka to help some more. We will also send a container full
with educational materials with them. So if you want to contribute
the GoFundMe page is still open and you can find
a link in the description below. Now it's time to jump
into Premiere Pro. Import your two clips
and create a new sequence. Then drag your clip without
the green screen to the first track. The clip with the green screen
can go on track number 2. The first thing we are going
to do is remove the green screen. But before this, I want to show you a small
hack to make the green key a lot easier. Open up the Lumetri panel, if you can't find it go up to the menu
on top and select Window and enable the Lumetri panel. Inside the panel you can
open up the Curves tab. This will give you different
types of curves, but the only one we need is
the Hue vs Sat curve. Take the color picker tool
and select the green. Now make the selection a little bit bigger
and drag the point in the middle up. This will increase the saturation
of the green, so don't over do it. Okay, our green is super green now,
which will make the key a lot easier. And it's time to remove it now. In the Effects library search
for the Ultra Key effect and drag it to the green screen clip. In the Effects controls, you can now take the color picker from
the Ultra Key effect and select the green. This will remove the green
from your shot. If you notice that the key
isn't that good, you can always tweak it a little
bit more in the settings until you get the perfect key. But if you still have some spill, add a new
Lumetri effect to the green screen clip and place it underneath the Ultra Key. With the HSL Secondary you can make
a green selection from the top controls and then modify that green
with the sliders below. I neutralized the green
by adding magenta, decreased the saturation
to get rid of the green and finally add a little bit of warmth to
get natural skin tones back in the spill areas. Also, if you want, you can leave some
shadow ripples on the green screen when opening up the hole. It can contribute to the effect as you are
actually opening up the clip as a fabric. Now, being so close to the green
screen, doesn't make a green key easy. It makes it even very hard. But a few weeks ago, we
started testing with Boris FX and they have an awesome keying
plugin called Primatte Studio, which can really help here. If you want to know more about this plugin,
there is a link in the description below. Okay, it's masking time. With the green screen clip selected
go up to the Effects control panel, and then under Opacity property
you can select the Pen tool and create a mask inside
the green screen. However, you probably still have this line
in the middle of your green screen which can't be keyed out. So create the mask on the
right side of it, so the line is gone. But when lorenzo comes in
and steps inside the hole, he will step outside the mask
and will be cut off. So we need to animate this mask. Search for the point where lorenzo
is still just inside the mask and on this point enable
the animation for the mask path. Then go frame by frame
further in time and adjust the mask
so that it follows lorenzo's hand and thus opening up the hole in the clip. In the end, Lorenzo
also closes this hole. So we need to animate
the mask again there. But this time let the mask go up with his
hand so the hole is closed and disappears. Okay, now you have combined
the two shots and they match perfectly. The only thing that is missing now
is some kind of effect so that it really looks like
the fabric of space is opened. Like some kind of ripple. And this we are going to create
with the Turbulent Displace effect. Drag this effect from the Effects library to the clip without the green screen
on track number 1. The effect will now warp the whole
shot, not something we need. So, create a mask within
the Turbulent Displace effect, select the circle mask and adjust it
so that it lays behind the hole. Also feather the mask enough,
something between 40 or 50 will do. Next it's time to change settings,
first set the displacement to Bulge. And then the amount to 0. Go to the point where lorenzo
starts opening up the hole and enable the animation
for the amount. What you now can do is
increase and decrease the amount while going further in time, try to watch lorenzo's movements
and match it. When lorenzo went through the hole,
you can set the amount back to 0. And that is all there is to it. One more thing, maybe, you can also add a fake handheld
movement to everything, if you want. Just select the clips, right click
on them and select Nest. Then drag a fake handheld movement
preset from our preset pack to the nested sequence
and voila, a super cool effect! [Music] And that was it for today, guys, I hope you enjoyed it, thank
you so much for watching. Thank you Storyblocks Video
for the support. And, like always: Stay Creative!
