Motion Graphics 47 - Enchanted Apothecary
If the idea of creating millions of tiny flowing particles that can be shaped into smoke, clouds, fairy dust, or flames excites you, Trapcode Particular by Red Giant is the go-to After Effects plug-in. When Red Giant released their latest version of the Trapcode Suite last month, I fell in love with the promo banner featuring colorful particles dancing inside glass jars, as if in an enchanted apothecary. As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to create my own version. I rendered the bottles in Cinema 4D, then added the Particular particles in After Effects. To merge the particle reflections with the bottles, I headed back to Cinema 4D for one more pass. The shot is only 7 seconds, but I hope it delights your child within.
