"We just wanted to share with Trapcode something we cooked up only last
week. Trapcode Particular really gave us the effectiveness a particle
system needs to have, versatility and workfriendly when producing under
fire. We were capable of creating awesome looking effects in a mather
of seconds and thats just what we needed.
Once it was finished it came to our mind to showcase your technology
threw our work. The only 3D element in the scene is the weird looking
bird, the rest was up to After Effects."

PSYOP
In my personal opinion, this one for Coke is one of
the most amazing pieces of advertising. I was thrilled
to hear
PSYOP
used Trapcode Particular a lot in it! The other
clips are for Fanta, EA Sports Street, Guinness and
Miller, they all use Trapcode Particular and they are
all stunning. It is easy to see why PSYOP is one of
the most highly esteemed studios.

Crew
Creative Advertising - Life Before Her Eyes Trailer
Trapcode
plugins have always been a staple product in Crew Creative's
motion graphics pipeline, so we were excited to get our
hands on Form. With a mixture of Particular, Starglow,
Form and 3d Stroke (driving the Form map layer), Lead Motion
Graphics Designer, Adam
Franklin, achieved the visual look
and feel desired for this trailer.

Barbecue
Mediendesign GmbH - Lexus
Lexus Hybrid Drive - The main goal was to design
a almost surreal surrounding in wich two energy
Forces that symbolize the Hybrid technology will
travel
trough.
As these two Lightshapes should fly over/inbetween an through different
scenes, we decided to build the entire Landscapes in After Effects to have
full control with the virtual camera following the lights.
Particular was used to build up the Lightshapes and its trails.
A custom script enabled the particles to have an natural irratic movement.
Shine was used to create Northernlights, transmitting
lights through Ice and mainly for the overall color
correction and tinting.
This ended up in creating a whole flower-field with multiple instances
of a single blade of grass and blossom distributed in z-space. The only
3d generated Image is the reveal of the drivetrain
and the packshot of the cars.
All other Images are truly 2.5 3D Planes Layered in AE. |

LFA - The Irresistible Force
In
this clip the concept car LFA symbolizes an "irresistible
force" like
a black hole.
The LFA controls the magnetic field and the light in a surreal world.
We used Trapcode Form for all the effects of
the magnetic field and the
light-bending effects.
Shine was used for the eerie light and shadows.

"A bill
poster. His posters display an agressive face that suddenly starts screaming
at him. Getting furious, he tears up the poster. Upon that,
his real world interferes with the poster's elements that haunt him. The chase
peaks in the bill poster being completely caught up in the graphical world"

to achieve a monstruous tentacle-like effect of organically flowing graphical

Koxvold
"For this promo for 'Appearances' we had a clear idea of what we needed
to
do, and I knew that Particular's versatility would be able to do it. Using
LED keychains as a tracking reference in After Effects, I pickwhipped the
particle emitter to the original point of light and tuned the
characteristics to mimic the properties of light in a long-exposure
photograph. From there it was simply a question of setting the physics
to
match the movement of the camera and give the light streams an airy,
ethereal feeling.
I
have to admit that receiving calls from incredulous Inferno
artists is
rather satisfying."

"Hey, just wanted to drop a note to say how much I like using Particular.
It's the best purchase I've made for After Effects in years. It truly
was a
fast and efficient solution for creating missile smoke trails for my
last
project.
Here
are some links to work I just did for a Discovery Channel
show using
Particular. The show is called Unsolved History. The
episode is about the
KAL-007 tragedy in the 1980's.
I
used nulls animated in 3d space in maya, then hooked my
emitter to it's
position in After Effects to match my 3d animations."

Koxvold
Jason
recently completed a 90 second Winterfresh spot for broadcast/broadband
agency EVB.
" I used Starglow to give the scenes some crystalline rock & roll feel, and
Shine to give depth to the icy fog effect on the type. What really brought
the project to life, though, was Particular - I don't think there's another
After Effects plugin that works as well in 3d. I tied the particle emitters
to a few 'master particles' that weave in and out of the characters and the
rest was a snap."

The first clip, "tune in", uses Trapcode Starglow (overall styling) and 3D Stroke

This brand new video for Moder Jords Massiva's "Sound
