Final Product What You'll Be Creating

This entry is part 3 of 3 in the series Animated Homage to Bruce Lee

Animated Homage to Bruce Lee

In day 3 of the training Markus demonstrates how to construct an interconnected After Effects scene from many different animations. You’ll then learn how to track a moving camera to the scene.

This is the final video in the “Be Water” tutorial series, and should leave you with all the techniques needed to create a similar style of typographic and animated video.

  • Luis R.

    Very nice tut for AE………but I just got one question that’s bugging, What version of AE are you using??????

    After seeing the many tuts, it inspires me to kick myself in the you-know-what and get moving to learn AE.

  • mini W

    u didnt mention in the tut!

    Hey!

    Good questions!

    @Luis R, I’m using After Effects CS4
    @mini W, I used Displacement Map with radio waves to make the word “water” flow

    Cheers! Markus

    Awesome…. TQ for tutorial…

  • Branden

    I really like these tutorials. The only gripe I have about this particular video is the end with “Be water my friend.” I think the water should wave a bit longer as it’s very short and can be easy to miss. Other then that though I love it.

    Job well done Markus

    nice tuts but the video system is not really good…. I mean we can’t ALT+TAB from the video and AE without exit the fullscreen mode…
    not confortable to use… Why not add a buton “WTACH THE TUT” and then open a window with large view ?

      I recommend downloading the .flv tutorial video and watching it within your main media player (I use Window Media Player Classic). This way you can treat the video as you would any other, so Alt-Tab-ing to and from AE or another desktop screen is seamless.

    Very Good Tutorial

  • JohnM.

    Nice Tutorial! Why is it that when I render my Comp my radial ramp comes out choppy?
    Can anyone give me any advice on how to properly do it?

  • T.Baurain

    Not to sound like a broken record but the graphic files associated with this tutorial would be great!

    I tried a little typographic design of my own! To watch it:

    Great work!

    Aetuts should open a flickr group now that flickr allows all users to post video so that we can comment on others people attempts to these aetuts!

    This site is wonderfull!!

  • CAZ

    Sweet tut…..but the audio could have been more clear and crisp.

    But hey….keep the type tuts come’n

    very nice tut and quote as well!

    looking forward to more tuts

  • Luchrita

    Thank you Markus! I have been looking for a tutorial just like this one for a while. I am an AE beginner and I found it fairly simple to follow. Even though some of the files are not provided, thats ok b/c the main ones are and I created the other ones myself. To make it more my own, I made some changes to my project by extending or shortening the different variables (instead of following all of the tutorial settings). This design project may not be the “next new thing” but, its new to me and I enjoyed learning some skills from it.

    P.S. The Tuts+ network is AWESOME & PPL that are choosing to gripe on the tutorials should either make a better one (since their skills are so great) or SHUT IT :P!

    Where can i find the sources to do this tutorial with goodness ??

    • beth

      @Lourdes, you have to purchase a membership w/ the site to see the source files appear. They show up after you’re logged in. I know, took me forever to figure out why I wasn’t seeing them in ANY of the tutorials, lol.
