I liked the limbo reference
[QUOTE=Binladen34;43806445]I'm using a trial for after effects, are they not in the trial version?[/QUOTE] Oh, some of the effects I'm using are 3rd party plugins, or renamed. To do the TV effect with only plugins that come with AE, use the following (on an adjustment layer): [B]3D Glasses[/B] (set left and right to the adjustment layer, and change the convergence offset to get the chroma abberation), [B]noise[/B], [B]Channel Blur[/B], [B]grid[/B] ( for scanlines, just stretch the vertical lines off the screen), [B]Wave Warp[/B] (for the wobbles), [B]Levels[/B] and [B]Glow[/B].
The big metallic cube part is supposed to represent what game exactly?
[QUOTE=Cl0cK;43806669]The big metallic cube part is supposed to represent what game exactly?[/QUOTE] That one is more of general look than a game. It could be Crysis, or Mass Effect, or Battlefield 4. It's simply supposed to be a cube with all of the effects enabled; depth of field, lens flares, AA, SSAO, reflections, glowy bits, lens grime, color grading and such. It's the modern AAA game with it's abundance of post-processing effects.
VB bit was still the best.
This was great man thanks for this.
I'm not sure if the one at 1:47 was for a specific game or just a whole genre/era of games that were like it, but Phantasmagoria came to mind and it was my favorite part. How did you do the PS1 texture glitching for the Silent Hill bit? [editline]6th February 2014[/editline] The metallic cube was very much like Crysis' opening.
I saw Pong, Asteroids, Snake(?), Mario, Megaman, N64 (?), Limbo, Fez, Unreal Tourney, Portal, Minecraft, Tag: Power of Paint (?), Mirrors Edge, Super Hexagon, Thomas Was Alone, Amnesia, Braid. Where was the Antichamber one?

With it you can take flat shapes and extrude them into 3D ones, and if you check the constant raster box for the layer, you can distort the flat shape and it'll affect the 3D one in real time. So the wobbling is the flat shape keyframed to look erratic. With that, the textures themselves are also jumping around a bit, but that's a lot simpler just using the "wiggle" expression.

I didn't expect to see a nod to Phantasmagoria in this, quite the pleasant surprise! Really lovely video. Good job!
[QUOTE=Mobon1;43812011]What's the song you used for the Super Hexagon (Cube) one? Or was it something you just came up with for that section?[/QUOTE] It's an original piece just for that section, as most of them are. There are two musical cues that were existing tracks of mine: The Crayon Physics section (red scribble box) is a snippet from "It's Gonna Be Alright" and the AAA Cube is a snippet from "The Reapers". :)
Loved every bit.The Crysis/Crysis2 is one that got me laughing too cause it was so well executed with the dramatic music and style. Is the music that's playing at that bit an actual track or just a quick Hans Zimmer parody?

The music used for that bit is titled The Reapers: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LAA3tRiigc[/media]
