Tutorial out now! 🚀 I used two 3D models of cars to create this viral transition. Seperating all parts allowed me to create this transformation effect. It took around 21h (excluding render times) to animate everything but it was definitely worth the satisfying effect! Brought everything together in After Effects and did the sound design in Premiere Pro! The tutorial is out now and you can watch it in my free Skool community. Link is in my bio! 🚀

Comment 'Tutorial' to learn this! 🚀 For this reel I got the chance transform a G Wagon into a Porsche GT3 RS. (Such a satisfying project) I used a 3D model of myself, animated it and brought it into Blender. I used motion capturing and Adobes Mixamo to easily add an animation to my model. That made the transition super smooth. Everything was brought together in AfterEffects and the sound design was done in PremierePro. Big shoutout to @myleocrossfit for the crazy location! ❤️ Thanks to @christo.dontchev for filming! 🎥 The legend @timelapseworlds did the sound design for this 🔊 Do you want to see a BTS of this reel? 💬

Comment 'MOTION' to learn this 🚀 In this video I combined reel footage with 3D animation. Using a mix of Blender to create the scenes and animations as well as photo scanning and motion capturing to bring it all together and create this viral transition! I also used a simple green screen and some tape to 3D track myself sitting on a chair! After Effects stays my Go-To for compositing and bringing everything together. Color gading and sound design was all done in Davinci Resolve (so much better than Premiere…) Would you like to see a BTS of this video? 🚀

Comment 'Motion' to learn this stuff! 🙏🏼 This viral car transformation transition got so much attention which is why I decided to create a little breakdown video for it. I used Blender and imported two 3D models of cars. I then separated all parts and that I wanted to animate and keyframed the single elements to create this satisfying animation! Everything was then brought together in After Effects and sound design was done in Premiere Pro! 🚀 @paulomated created the smooth automation flow that lead to thousands of new contacts!

Didn’t expect this to work… I put a 333-meter cruise ship inside a bottle. This is MSC World America the newest and one of the largest ships ever built by MSC Cruises. I wanted to blur the line between miniature and massive… and create a transition that plays with your sense of perspective. 300 years of seafaring history, now bottled up and reimagined for tomorrow. Had so much fun with this one! @msccruisesofficial

COMMENT ‘CAR’ FOR PROJECT FILES 🚀 This is my first time trying out 3D Car Animation in Blender. I used my FX3 with my 14mm to film the intro and outro scene and then used AfterEffects Tracking to match the movement and make the transition to 3D look good. Color Grading was done in Davinci Resolve and Sounddesign in Premiere Pro. I also photo-scanned myself as a 3D Model to be able to animate my body being hit by the car. This project was a lot of fun! If you want to learn more about how to use VFX to level up your videos, I am doing a lot of tutorials inside my free Skool community. Just comment the word ‘car’ and I will send everything to you! 🔥 Thanks for the help with sound design @rasmussbirgersson ❤️

Comment 'LAMBO' to learn this 🚀 A few weeks ago I was invited to check out this exclusive @petyachts Lamborghini Yacht! This is one of the few yachts available and was one of the most incredible experience of my life! This yacht goes 120km/h…. wtf?! Thank you for having me! 💥 I used two 3D models to create this seamless transition inside of Blender. Manually animated all parts and brought everything together in Adobe After Effects. Super fun process! Check out @motioncreators.co to see the tutorial!
