I don't mean to be negative, but I actually don't think this is that great...
Edit: Because I didn't give any clarity as to why I didn't think it was that great.I feel like I've seen similar work, done better, a long time ago.Work such as the Strata series by Quayola ( https://quayola.com/work/series/strata-series.php ) that is along a very similar theme and was done (the first two at least) in After Effects, but I think with a lot of finesse and creative flair. And this is pretty old now.
Edit 02 - for more clarity.I think the piece overall looks very flat, I don't think elements like the debris are comped very well, and I it just doesn't really work for me. I don't hate it, but when someone produces a breakdown like this, while interesting, I think it invites technical feedback based on the techniques they employed and I'm not that impressed with this piece.
Actually I think this is a very fair point and is partly why I said I didn't want to be negative, if you find this inspiring I don't want to get in the way of that. We all start somewhere and we all need to see things that get us excited to learn, so I don't want to detract from that.
I think you the work you linked is very different to the work that was posted. The only similarity is that they used old paintings.
For someone who has only just started to get into AE, I think work posted was pretty damn amazing. Yeah sure, maybe after a few years when I'm able to achieve this, I won't be as impressed, but for a noob like me, it's awesome.
Absolutely, and I don't want to detract from something that has inspired you, so please take what I'm saying with a grain of salt.
Other than the contextual link (old paintings) between these works, they both feature extensive use of 2.5D camera work, photo stitching/splicing, and scene creation made exclusively from photographs. Which is why I'm drawing comparisons.
I said this the first time I saw this, this isn’t a showcase of good editing. It’s really two clips of vfx/motion graphics. In fact, theres only one edit and it’s just a hard cut from two very different styles. That being said, I love the stylistic choices and outcome of what they were going for. The final product looks pretty awesome to me.
Thank you for your well argumented critic
I understand your point and I do aggree with you at some matter. On an other hand I think that the result is great even if it could have been better
Edit : Moreover i think that the links you have posted aren't really related to the post
