Really a beautiful surprise! Thank you!!!
Great pack. Awesome catch for my library of content. Thank you Giso Spijkerman.
Thanks guys, let me know if you make something cool!
I always wanted to make my own library of these inspired by all the work I was seeing a few years back when I was starting school. This stuff looks great. I am re-inspired and hope to finally get it done for my personal archives.
yeah man, i can encourage you do record things ink / water / sugar / etc things yourself. It’s a lot of fun! Let me know if you have something!
Awesome assets. Here is my attempt: http://tandtfy.blogspot.com/2011/07/ink-reveal-test.html
good start but in my opinion it’s missing some power
!
if you want to use this cinematic audio track, i think you should slow down the ink stroke and use frameblending to fill the inbetween frames. In that way the ink is also more dramatic (slowmotion) so it fits to the music
also the text isn’t that readable (for instance the first letter of the last word). Probably use the BOLD CAPITALS of the font
Good luck man!
I agree. I definitely made this in a hurry and I think time remapping the stroke makes the effect much more powerful. I just wanted to bust something out to try it really quick, I may do another more in depth version.
what kind of speakers are those?
tutorial looks really cool too night go plus for this one..
Hi Mark,
these speakers are KRK Rockit 6 speakers.
Have fun with the tut and bundle!
Cheers,
Giso
Hey beautiful stuff, I was really impressed with the quality of the brush strokes and how can they be used via matte. I was wondering, what kind of paper and ink did you used for recording the footage? and also did the shadow of the ink was doned via CG or was it recorded live from the strokes. Thanks and great tut, you really made it worth my 9 bucks a month. Greetings from México.
Thanks Torres, it’s all in the Ink.
It’s East Indian Ink and watercolor paper, have fun!
Thanks for your reply, I’ve used 2 videos from your footage in this proyect, thanks for sharing your techniques, its great to meet other professionals inside the industry. Greetings
