I'm not sure I'm going to do this, but I've been thinking about trying to age someone in AE. I know there are ways of smoothing out wrinkles and so on to try to make someone look younger, but does anyone know of any tips/tutorials for aging someone? I'm not thinking of anything too drastic -- just a moderate amount of aging.

Thanks in advance for any info! :smile:
 
i really hope someone teaches us this! would be great effect for sure!
 
Never did that.
But maybe:
-Make a black and white version of the scene.
-put it above the colored one.
-set the layer "product" or another layer like that - keeping black, let letting the colors seen in place of the white.
-rotoscop/draw a mask on the face of the character for the "product" layer only shows there.
-play with the contrast, settings/levels of the "product" layer until you find a way to make the character's wrinkles be more obvious without being jarring.
The goal would be to had realistic little shadows on the face.

Just a quick thought. I prepet: I never did that.
Sounds tricky.

Interesting idea. I think I follow you. It would be kind of like creating a new mask in a standard way, except that since it already matches the face, tracking wouldn't (or at least shouldn't) be as much of an issue, right? Hmmm...if that works, that might also be a solution for another idea you and I discussed a looooong time ago...I'll try it when I get the chance. Thanks, TMBTM! :smile:
