BIG NEWS!!!!! Our CEO's new book "Become a Content Brand" is out on Amazon NOW! Check it out here and thank you for supporting the channel! (DETAILS ABOUT THE BOOK BELOW)

This book is the culmination of 10 years of creating content for over 180 brands like Redbull, Coldwell Banker, Amazon, Sandisk, Boeing and Marriott Hotels. If you want to learn the secrets on how we built up a multi-million dollar video production agency + a stock footage company that brings in over $150k in passive revenue a year, you need to check out "Become a Content Brand."

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to create this Zach King-like movie magic trick effect where you will disappear into a box and then come out the other side. This is definitely a fun one but also can be very tedious. I would call this one an advanced tutorial because you should know the basics of After Effects and how masking works before diving into this one. I do not go through this one with a step-by-step process. I assume you already know how to create masks and use keyframes. Here I will show you where to place the masks, how I shot it, and how to get rid of shadows & harsh lines that appear with masks and different lighting situations. Remember the most important part to this effect is how you shoot it. That will be the key in how long you end up in post production as that can be very time-consuming.

KEYS TO SUCCESS:

• Pay close attention to your composition when shooting (see tutorial for exact way to shoot it).
• Use masks not only to subtract shadows but also highlight shadows.
• Make sure to film a background plate.
