Take back creative control with Storyblocks' unlimited royalty-free stock library and tools today: --------------------------------------- Tools Mentioned: FX Console: Timelord: Void: Depth Scanner (Affiliate): --------------------------------------- A tilt-shift lens is one of the craziest lenses you can use on a camera and it gives a surreal miniature feeling to basically anything you point it at. We can recreate this feeling in After Effects with just a few steps and layer on some other creative techniques to make boring stock footage look like it was shot with a cinema camera. I'll show you how to create a completely customizable faux tilt-shift effect and how to optimize it for render time. We'll also look at how to add some cinematic lens effects and distortions for a more analog feel, color grade the footage with Lumetri color, plus how to create a chromatic aberration RGB split. Then we'll learn how to use Photoshop to generate a depth map using AI in order to more accurately blur your shots, and how to use a third-party plugin called Depth Scanner to do the same thing for video. --------------------------------------- 🤝 Support more YouTube tutorials through Patreon: 🎓 Learn from me in other places: Skillshare: Explainer Camp: Photoshop Illustrator Unleashed: 🚶 Follow me online: Instagram: Twitter: 🏷️ Tag me on Instagram @jakeinmotion if you learned something from me!
