a bunch of clouds in Adobe Illustrator a map War PL PNG and explosion. file bring it all into the after effects and add some sound effects and you will get this British prime minister Neville changer has asked for a meeting September the 15th 1838 Hitler waits for an important unfortunately the world has witnessed two world wars World War stories Fascinate us specifically the kind of fighter planes in the sky on the other day I was watching the documentary World War II from the front lines on th
e Netflix I thought about how to recreate this kind of visuals in After Effects using the 3D camera hello everyone my name is Nares and let's try to recreate these cool effects that can be used in documentary or Vlog videos all right friends so I have added all the assets which we will need to create this cool effect and the project file is available from the link in the description you can download along with this assets so let's get started so let's create one new composition let's call it Mas
ter okay let's first add map so this is our Poland map let's scale it down all right let's add some texture to give it to give it kind of gringy look let's change the blend mode to multiply if you don't able to see this option then click on this toggle switch mode and you will be able to see all right let's select this both layer and precompose it let's call it map click okay go to effects and presets and search for black and white effect add black and white effect search for cow add cow you can
give a tint to give this kind of look and we can play with this cow to give it some more all right so now let's add clouds this one Cloud another let's add this also all right so we have added the clouds now let's add the 3D camera so right click click on new and add camera so the this is our camera we can rename it also so type of camera there are two type of camera one node camera and two node camera most of the time we are using two node it gives us more room for the movement of the camera s
o we can move around the object here is our presets there are several presets available 15 mm to 200 mm remember that lower than number wider the angle and more the number it is for the zooming so these are the zooming lens and this is the wider lens so let's select 50 mm you can also enable dtop field and you can later on also change it from the camera setting so no need to worry about now let us give some demonstration of how this lens size affect our uh the appearance of the our animation all
right so first I'm selecting 135 mm presets and now I'm I'm selecting 15 mm presets you can make the difference okay remember that whenever you are adding camera it will only work if your layers are in 3D so we have to convert all this layer into 3D to select all the layers toggle switch if it is not available and click on this icon this is a 3D layer so convert all the layers into 3D layer if this is not visible click on this toggle switch modes button all right so layers are converted into 3D
so let's try to understand what we are going to create so so it will be easy for us to understand so we are going to move our camera from top to down down so here is our land or our map then above that we will show the explosion and above that we'll have the clouds then above that we will show warplanes then above that we have again clouds so our camera will move from above and in this direction till the map so this is we are going to create all right so we have the camera let's change it to tw
o view from here you can change to two view now this is very use full this is the active camera view and this another view is top view or you can change to front you can change to left or you can change to back I usually prefer top view so this is the top view and this is the bottom so how it will work let me demonstrate so this is our camera this is our camera you can drag and hold Z z-axis and you can move the camera so this is how our camera will move so this is our lowest layer or the bottom
layer let's drag it and place it way down so let's scale it so that it covers our screen then we have a cloud so let's place this Cloud here then we have another Cloud let's Place top of that you can also change this position by dragging it here and I'm putting this Cloud here all right then we have this Cloud let's put it here topmost all right so this is the arrangement of our layers and above all we have a camera so let's move camera again we have to scale our map all right so it's a high re
solution file so no need to worry about all right so these are our layers so let's add basic key frame to our camera so go to camera transform point of interest and position add key frame to it then move to last frame and again move our camera to the lowest point see see you can see the order of layers clouds again clouds then our final so this is the basic animation we have created now let's add now let's add planes so I'm going to select this planes all right so let's add new composition let's
call it planes so we have this planes let's scale it down all right now let's add position key frame or keep holding ALT key and uh press this stopwatch icon and you can write the vle expression write one and five so it will give you some basic basic moments so this is the basic moments for the duplicate it place it here let's scale it down so it appears like it is flying low and then the rest of the planes all right so these are our planes let's add this composition to our layer after this Clo
ud because they are high up in the skies these clouds so after these two clouds I will be showing the planes don't forget to change it to 3D layer otherwise uh it will not work so now we have selected plane and I want to put those planes here here I will be putting all right let's scale it down small small so that they hide behind the clouds all right so now let's add drop shadow to our planes search for drop shadow in After Effects all right so let's add drop shadow to our planes change the dis
tance to quite High quite High because the planes are flying so high that sadow will be very far and change the softness to some like that all right let's add the Shadows to our clouds also now similar to planes we have to add a lot of distance for the clouds also all right then copy this effect and paste to the rest of the clouds all right so we have our clouds and planes both having the r Shadow now let's give some motion to our planes drag by XY Z axis and and try to move little bit so this i
s the basic movement now drag this key frame and bring it to the end of the animation let's play it so very subtle movement of the plane all right now let's move back to camera place you on the screen so you'll be able to see the all the key frames so hold these two key frames for the position press F9 on the keyboard for the EAS then click on this graph editor select both the key frame and change the graph to this so it will have this smooth animation all right now let's explore the other optio
n in the camera that is the camera option and we can have this depth of flu so we can change this Focus distance and aperture so if you reduce the aperture it will create clear images so you can move your camera clear images of the this planes then you can change it to so it will getting blur can you see so this has become blurred so it's kind of having the background blur effect so here we can create some blurry effect all right so this is blur then moving towards the planes now we can create a
a clear image here so let's bring it down so now it is becoming clear see so the images are clear and again changing it back to lower so we have a clear visuals of our land similarly Focus distance also you can change so you can see this line is moving that is our Focus so if you click and you can change so this is your first Cloud so this will become clear all right so this is has been focused on this first Cloud all right now let's add explosion so again create new composition let's call it e
xplosion click okay so we have this sofware top view file let's add it so we have these explosions let's scale it down let's duplicate it place it here this one will be here now let's change the sequence of the blast so this one first this will appear first then afterwards this will appear so let's change it as all the blast will not happen simultaneously but it will happen in the sequence as per the movement of the planes all right so let's add this explosion file all right let's convert it to
3D so this is our explosion file let put it over this layer series of explosion should happen after the plane passed from above the area so let's add at this point not before that all right so this are the series of explosion first change the position to this are the explosion then we can duplicate it and add add others and change its position to Let's Play it again now let's add this Nazi flag here so here it will be okay so go to map composition and select this change it plan mode to Overlay a
ll right so now let's animate it opacity press t on the keyboard add key frame to opacity move it add key frame move back to the first key and add zero then scale it down the so it covers the PO end you can also add some motion blur to planes so select plane and click on this motion blur icon all right so now let's add some text so this is our text text and it's going to be the above the explosion let's convert it to 3D layer so this is our text let's change it change its position to here let's
give some grungy look so add old paper then select it select track Mar to Old Paper select Luma so it will have this gry look so let's trim it down and give it press D and let's give opacity zero move this thing this much and again add opacity of 100 all right so this good okay again go back to camera and let's rotate the Z axis so come to starting frame C add CLE frame to this Z rotation come to last frame and add rotation value for the five all right so we have this nice Zoom animation all rig
ht so our animation is almost ready now let's give it a final touch click on new adjustment layer let's rename it as goian blur come to effects and presets and search for the goian blur but before that let's add ellipse shape on our layer ke invert it and let's add this question blur increase the value to 25 26 click on the mask and add feather to around this much all right again right click and add new adjustment layer rename it as a documentary then search for the VHS effect you can download a
nd install this VHS effect from the link provided in the description again right click and add new adjustment layer rename it as posterized time search for the posterized time and effects in presets add posterize time and change the value to 12 go to this documentary effect change the amount of noise to five or you can change this wave type to smooth noise so whichever you feel right you can choose this kind of effect let's again change it back to one view this is our final animation so that's a
ll see you in the next one bye-bye you can also add this particle effect just above your uh just below this here convert it to 3D and change its position to to below the text change its mode to screen and just take here so this is good so we have nice articles
