How on earth do they do this 3D pixellation effect?

[font=Arial]Trapcode Form with whatever footage used as a displacement map[/font]. Nothing special, really. You could even do some of it using Card Dance or other such plug-ins that already come with AE if you are patient enough…

You could try using ball action with some keyframes on the scatter. There is a twist setting and such in there also if you can’t afford trapcode form. But yeah that looks like form to me as well. You may be able to pull something like that off in particular as well. I would also bet that there are sound keys utilized in there also. Like a the sequences of the dj there are what looks like particles kinda swirling around him, just my thoughts. If you make some cool stuff like this post it, we’d be glad to check it out! Good luck!

yeah will do, got a trial of Trapcode Form, although I havent created anything that looks as good yet

Red giant has some good tutorials to get you started with the interface. It was something that I was going to play with at a previous employer but my current one doesn’t have it. We have a couple other fun toys but, the more you know the more you grow.

the thing with these plugins is, everyone uses them, it’s hard to separate yourself from the crowd…A professional will instantly see Trapcode Form was used…I am more keen to learn to build my own particle systems
