Title: Per Kirkeby's Breaking the Waves chapters' technique tutorial?
Post by: adrjork on November 19, 2015, 01:23:15 pm
Hi guys,
I'm searching for advices to obtain a Breaking the Waves chapters like effect (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6xEinLh4eA). Which is the techniques in your opinion? Rotoscoping? Which software could now do the job? After Effects? Studio Artist? Photoshop? Davinci?

Thanks for your help.

Beautifully done and beyond my technical reach but if I was to attempt it... ;)

Start with basic video files exported as standalone video clips from a dedicated colour grading app like Resolve (which for me is the easiest way to accurately create & control the video colour and set the 'look')

Those graded clips would be the foundation of After Effects projects to which would be added a combination of layered photoshop files for the mist and painterly atmosphere effects. All comping, matting, titling & finishing in AE.

(May I also gently suggest in the name of readability that you delete your identical posts in other forums? If they receive replies, I can consolidate the three threads into the one that seems appropriate)

(Done.)
Thanks for your advices.
I thought something similar. For paintbrush effect in the sky (1'40") I thought to use Studio Artist.
It would be fantastic if someone would make a tutorial to obtain a similar result.
Come on, guys ;)))

Also, good to remember that there is an open source
Compositing software called Natron.100% free.
It has been on air for quite some time and has been widely
Accepted ww. It is a clone of Nuke.
So one can make his steps in compo without breaking the wallet
And learn in a similar evironement as the industry standart (Nuke).
