Still from Expendables 2 Title Sequence

Guns, knives and a skull… this title sequence has it all! And yes, this sequence is created entirely in After Effects, by power user Chris Bobotis. Pretty impressive, if we do say so ourselves. Tutorial in the works!

  3. ooooooohhhh. guns and a skull. mmmmm. 0×0

     

  4. Looks very cool. Can’t wait to see the tut.

     

  5. One question…. How did you get the skull to have so much detail?

      In this case, the 3d displacement was created in Photoshop but you could just as easily use a depth map from any 3D program for this.
      Tutorial in the works. Stay tuned.
