Well, I was looking for a style that combine live-action footage, painting & motion graphic & that end title inspires me.
So I decide to make a 'rip-off' style from it. I have no problem with the drawing itself, but the problem is in the ink-smearing motion effect.
Fortunately I found this website with tutorial & material about the same style, Jake & Dan. So I grab the paper texture file, the smearing ink blot etc from them.
Next step, I pick some of video footages from our Canon EOS 500D. Then in Corel Painter X, I draw the outline & put some hatches in different layers. I keep the original image from the video footage for color effect, later in After Effects.
Then in AfterEffects, using the smearing-ink material from -- as Luma Matte for each layer of my drawings & apply BCC Watercolor in the original image.
In the final composition, all the layers are in 3D mode because I want to add depth (3D environment) & put a camera with slow track movement.
I pick a beautiful music from http://opsound.org The Blossoming Lilies by The Orchestral Movement of 1932 as the soul of the motion.
So here it is. Enjoy
