Saw this movie -
The Kids still in the pictureNoticed they used alot of aftereffects for the impression of movment within static images.
Bascially their cutting out the foreground and background in photoshop, importing into AE onto 3d layers with a camara set up. Question I got, in some of these documentrys I've ( Kungfu hustle making of - uses it also) they have smoke effects. like cigerrate smoke etc... is this done in aftereffects? or can anything like this be done in aftereffects.

its a plugin.
trapcade particular..and then mes around a bit the preset smoke..i'm now makin fog out of this one,also to move through with the camera.
hint:if you ue particualr on a layer, dont set it in 3D, than you cant move your camera 'trough' the effect.
cheerio.

u can also to the cutout in after effets by means of rotoscopin, that last clip (nixon vid) from the manic street preachers was done this way.
it gives you more power over the animation if you to it with rotoscoping

Thanks Tank, but I aint that expienced to even know what a rotascopin is, so where can I get those plugins?

if you haven't got trapcode plugins you can do some alright smoke effects just with Liquify (mess about with the distortion mesh) combined with gaussian blur.
