After Effect Hologram

Introduction to After Effect Hologram

In this article, we are going to learn how to create a hologram in after effects. This effect is mostly created in sci-fi movies. The hologram, in general, is a light diffraction technique that is used to create the 3D light field, and the depth and parallax are achieved. In reality, the laser is used to create a hologram. In other words, we can say that hologram is a 3-dimensional photo.

Steps of After Effect Hologram

Here are the following steps mention below:

Step #1

We have imported a video by dragging it into the project panel and then into the layers panel. First, make sure it pans the view.

Step #2

Warp stabilize the video to make it stable and set smoothness to around 6%

After Effect Hologram output 2

After Effect Hologram output 2.2

Step #3

Make a precomp of the video and also move all the attributes.

After Effect Hologram output 3

After Effect Hologram output 3.2

Step #4

Apply track camera effect on the precomp

After Effect Hologram output 4

Step #5

Select a point created by camera tracking and create null and camera

After Effect Hologram output 5

Step #6

Then hide all the layers and create a solid name BG with white color.

After Effect Hologram output 6

Step #7

Using a rectangle tool, create a rectangle on the BG, which will create a mask.

After Effect Hologram output 7

Step #8

Create the points as shown using the pen tool.

After Effect Hologram output 8

Step #9

Then create the following shape using the selection tool and arrow keys.

After Effect Hologram output 9

Step #10

Similarly, create more points using the pen tool and create this shape.

After Effect Hologram output 10

Step #11

Again, select the rectangle tool and create a rectangle and then select its points to create a slanted shape as shown. Then, duplicate it multiple times and adjust its position.

After Effect Hologram output 11

Step #12

Similarly, create it on the other side.

After Effect Hologram output 12

After Effect Hologram output 12.2

Step #13

Duplicate Mask 1 and set the mode to subtract and set the mask expansion to -2

After Effect Hologram output 13

After Effect Hologram output 13.2

Step #14

Duplicate Mask 11 and set the mode to add and set the mask opacity to 30%, and now our background is ready.

After Effect Hologram output 14

After Effect Hologram output 14.2

Step #15

Create a new solid and called screen and create a small rectangle as shown.

After Effect Hologram output 15

After Effect Hologram output 15.2

Step #16

Using the same trick done previously, use the pen tool to add points and create the following shape.

After Effect Hologram output 16

Step #17

As done before, duplicate mask 1 and set the mode to subtract and mask expansion to -2px and then duplicate it to create Mask 3 with mode to add an opacity of 30%

After Effect Hologram output 17

Step #18

Then we have dragged an image on it and some text fields and dragged on the top left of the BG.

After Effect Hologram output 18

Step #19

Create a precomp named char for this block.

After Effect Hologram output 19

Step #20

Create another solid named ring.

After Effect Hologram output 20

Step #21

Create a rectangle as shown as a mask.

After Effect Hologram output 21

Step #22

Add a polar coordinate effect to it.

After Effect Hologram output 22

Step #23

Set Interpolation to 100% and type of conversion to Rect to Polar.

After Effect Hologram output 23

Step #24

Add Venetian Blinds effect and adjust the parameters as shown.

After Effect Hologram output 24

Step #25

Alt-click the rotation property stopwatch and set the expression to time * 150 so that it will have rotation.

After Effect Hologram output 25

Step #26

Duplicate the ring twice and adjust the parameters.

After Effect Hologram output 26

After Effect Hologram output 26.2

After Effect Hologram output 26.3

Step #27

Add a battery icon, then scale down properly and add a tint effect to make it white.

After Effect Hologram output 27

After Effect Hologram output 27.2

Step #28

Then make a precomp and move it to the top right by scaling it.

After Effect Hologram output 28

After Effect Hologram output 28.2

Step #29

Create a new solid named Lines and set its visibility off.

After Effect Hologram output 29

Step #30

Using pen and ellipse tool create follow

After Effect Hologram output 30

Step #31

Add a stroke effect to it and turn on the visibility, and set the properties as shown.

After Effect Hologram output 31

Step #32

Set a keyframe for the end key for lines starting at 0% and ending at 100%

After Effect Hologram output 32

Step #33

Then set mask expansions to negative values to get the following effects.

output 33

Step #34

Add the Fractal noise effect to BG, set the properties as shown, and add an expression to evolution. Then add the Find Edges effect to get the edges.

output 34

Step #35

Precompose all the components and name it holo.

output 35

output 35.2

Step #36

Create a new comp named Matte and make it green in color.

output 36

Step #37

Then create a rectangle and set the feather to 80

output 37

Step #38

Duplicate Holo and set it to Alpha Matte

output 38

Step #39

Animate the mask path property at 0 frames, set it to the top, and at around 1 second, set it to the bottom.

output 39

Step #40

Copy and paste the first two keyframes for the entire video.

output 40

Step #41

Add the expression as shown to give it a flicker.

output 41

Step #42

Create a precomp named Hologram

output 42

output 42.5

Step #43

Unhide all layers and turn on 3D options.

output 43

Step #44

Use the pan behind the tool to set the anchor of the hologram to the bottom.

output 44

Step #45

Copy the position of track null to the hologram

output 45

Step #46

Then adjust the position of the hologram and add curves to the footage to make it darker.

output 46

Step #47

In the 3D Tracker Camera, set Depth of field to on and adjust the aperture and blur level to get the effect of depth.

output 47

Step #48

As we can see, there is a bit of depth by adjusting the aperture and blur.

output 48

Step #49

Going back in the holo precomp, turn on the motion blur option and also set it for all components.

output 49

Step #50

Animate position and opacity of the char so that it fades in from the right.

output 50

output 50.2

Step #51

Delay the animation of lines, so it starts after the char has moved in.

output 51

Step #52

Then delay the animation of the ring and set the keyframe to a scale of 0 at the start, and after 5 frames, increase the scale and select the second keyframe and press F9, which do the easing of the animation.

output 52

output 52.2

Step #53

We have applied to-scale animation to the hologram so that it appears to pop from the bottom.

output 53

Step #54

Let’s adjust the position of the hologram and add an expression wiggle(7,50) which will add a flicker to the hologram for added realism to it.

output 54
