TUTORIAL: POST PRODUCTION SHADOW

To create the shadow effect that is featured at the end of our music video you need to use a few effects within Adobe After Effects CS6. To start with you need to open a new composition with the base layer clip without the rotoscoping added to it.

Next you need to sandwich a standard silhouette .psd image between the base layer and a copy of the base layer. You will need to lower the opacity of the silhouette layer and add a large amount of lens blur to it so that it looks more like a shadow.

After that you need to rotoscope out the protagonist on the top layer frame by frame with the masking tool. 

This was a long painstaking process to do but it was worth the time in the final product. Although you only see it for a few seconds we think that it is massive part of the production as a whole as every second and every shot counts.
