Recently, while searching for some good wholesome content on Vimeo, we came across this amazing music video full of compositing work done by Dan Blank:

We contacted Dan and here’s what he had to say about the importance of Red Giant products in his workflow:

“When compositing and designing for film and television, I use the Red Giant suite of products more than any other plugins for After Effects. Their levels of control and ease of use show that they were designed with the professional artist in mind, and it’s why they’ve become an industry standard. Every studio I work for has a different collection of plug-ins, so I need to be flexible, but the Primatte, Magic Bullet, and Trapcode plugins are irreplaceable.”

Here’s a video showing some of the making of, including pre-visualization and compositing – plus a few money saving tips:

Here’s a screen shot from the video to give you an idea of how much After Effects compositing work was involved:

Here are some of the plug-ins Dan used in creating this video:

• Primatte Keyer
• Magic Bullet Looks
• Magic Bullet Colorista II
• Particular
• Lux
• Shine
• Key Correct

Hey – with enough coaxing, perhaps we can convince Dan to make a tutorial for Red Giant TV. Please leave some encouragement in the comments below. In the meantime check out Dan’s work at his WEBSITE.

   Wow, saw the Video a time ago on a big german Steampunk Blog. Thought that there was a lot of RedGiant Stuff and a whole lot more work put in it, but seeing this really opens the eyes.

   I’d really dig a tut for Red Giant TV from Dan. Please.
   Pretty Please
