We&#8217;ll be making use of the built-in\u00a0shatter effect and you don&#8217;t even need to use external 3D programs to make\u00a0it happen. So let&#8217;s get into After Effects and start breaking things.<\/p>\n<p>So the first thing to do in <strong>After Effects<\/strong> is create a new composition and\u00a0we&#8217;re going to go with the HDTV 1080 24 pre-set and duration of 1 minute\u00a0long, background color black, and click OK. The first thing to do is to\u00a0make the actual thing we&#8217;re going to shatter. So to do that we&#8217;re going to\u00a0create a new solid and we&#8217;re just going to leave that solid as black\u00a0because we&#8217;re using a very dark scene. So we&#8217;re just going to be\u00a0shattering a black piece of glass, but you can use any piece you&#8217;d like.\u00a0So if you use, say, like a gray, we&#8217;d use blackness of 10. And then we&#8217;ll\u00a0put some text on top of it, for example, just type in the word, &#8220;glass.&#8221;\u00a0Scale it up and put it in the center of the composition there. \u00a0This will\u00a0serve as our glass. If you want to put other things, like a texture or any\u00a0type of element that you want to shatter, it could be a logo, it could be\u00a0anything, make sure you put it in this first composition. So select both\u00a0of those and then we&#8217;re going to go layer pre-compose, and pre-compose both\u00a0of those elements. And we&#8217;ll call this &#8220;Glass to shatter&#8221; so we know this\u00a0is the glass we&#8217;re going to shatter. Good. Now to this we&#8217;re going to\u00a0apply the shatter effect, and this will determine all of the attributes of\u00a0the glass that we&#8217;re shattering. So as you can see by default, that\u00a0actually shatters a bunch of bricks which is not exactly what we&#8217;re after.<\/p>\n<p>So go into the shape and change the pattern to be glass instead of bricks.\u00a0So you can see by default, also, it has fairly large chunks. We want to\u00a0simulate the glass shattering in large chunks and then those chunks\u00a0becoming smaller chunks. So in order to do that, we&#8217;re going to change the\u00a0repetitions. So I&#8217;m just going to zoom in here on the timeline and we&#8217;re\u00a0going to set key frames for the numbers of repetitions. So call up the keyframes by hitting U and I&#8217;m just going to zoom right in here. And all the\u00a0action on these key frames can happen in the first five frames. So on\u00a0frame one we want the repetitions to be 10. On frame two we want the\u00a0repetitions to be 25. Frame three, we want them to be 35. Frame four, we\u00a0want them to be 50. So they&#8217;re getting quite a bit bigger, quite a bit<br \/>\nfaster. The extrusion depth we want to take down to .05 to make them a lot\u00a0thinner, because we don&#8217;t want thick glass chunks coming out. We want a\u00a0thin pane of glass shattering. And this is all a matter of scale so if you\u00a0want thicker glass, of course leave the extrusion depth up.<\/p>\n<p>The next thing to change is the force and the force is going to have a\u00a0depth of .01 and strength of 4. It doesn&#8217;t need to be as strong as the\u00a0default. And we&#8217;re also going to key frame the radius. So click on the\u00a0stopwatch there and the radius we want on frame one to be .11. And then on\u00a0frame two we&#8217;d like it to be .12. And then on frame four we&#8217;d like it to\u00a0be .17. This is causing the radius to expand into that first line of\u00a0chunks and then on the next step to make sure that those chunks are still\u00a0consistent with the first key frame we made. And if you&#8217;re not scaling the\u00a0size of the thing coming through the glass, here, it&#8217;s going to become a\u00a0little bit strange as the size of the glass changes and it changes where\u00a0the edge of the break is. So these numbers help keep this within the\u00a0bounds of what would be an expected shatter pattern.<\/p>\n<p>Now we leave the gradient and the physics alone, and we just come down here\u00a0to the texture. We change the opacity down to .75. And in order to\u00a0observe what we&#8217;re really doing, change it from wire frame and force to\u00a0rendered, so we can actually really see the work we&#8217;re doing. Now the\u00a0front mode is fine to be the layer, so it will display whatever the layer\u00a0is. The side mode, however, we want to be color plus opacity, so the sides\u00a0of the shattered pieces are going to be white and 75% transparent. And the\u00a0back mode, we&#8217;re going to have that set just to be color, because we&#8217;re\u00a0trying to fake sort of a shine that happens when light reflects off of the\u00a0pieces. And we can fake this, quite simply, by having the back of the\u00a0pieces be bright so it seem kind of like they&#8217;re tumbling in a light.<\/p>\n<p>Now speaking of lighting, we have to change some of the lighting settings.\u00a0And on those settings we&#8217;re going to change the light intensity to be at 5.\u00a0So quite bright. And then we&#8217;re going to move that light to be behind the\u00a0plane of the shatter, so it&#8217;s casting light from the back. And we&#8217;re going\u00a0to put the ambient light up to .5 and we are going to change the light\u00a0color to be sort of a light blue. So I&#8217;m going to go with something like,\u00a0somewhere in the blues here, not a lot of saturation and brightness all the\u00a0way up to 100%. So a nice and bright light blue. And that should do for\u00a0the shatter.<\/p>\n<p>And the next thing we&#8217;re going to want to put in is a camera so we&#8217;re able\u00a0to control how we&#8217;re looking at this. So back in the effect we want to\u00a0make sure that the camera system it&#8217;s using is the comp camera. So now\u00a0when we move this camera around in the scene, it&#8217;s going to change the way\u00a0we&#8217;re looking at the glass. So as you can see, you can move around all\u00a0parts of this thing with the camera to get a better look at it. In order\u00a0to control the camera better, we&#8217;re going to make a new null object and\u00a0we&#8217;re going to parent the camera to the null object and use the null\u00a0object&#8217;s rotation and position to move the camera around. So make the null\u00a0object 3D, pull up its rotation, just use moving the null object around on\u00a0the screen to change its position around. So we&#8217;d like to change its wire<br \/>\nrotation a little bit, so it&#8217;s kind of exploding out, and maybe set the\u00a0camera a little bit below it. And something like that, and now we&#8217;ll just\u00a0grab ahold of that Z access and just push ourselves in closer. Now you can\u00a0see we&#8217;re nice and close, and it explodes right into the camera. So that&#8217;s\u00a0quite good. Move us back so we can see the full frame of that break, and\u00a0that should be good.<\/p>\n<p>So we have this thing breaking and it creates a hole, so that&#8217;s all good.\u00a0If you&#8217;d like to put a background, something in behind here, now is\u00a0definitely the time to do that. So I&#8217;m going to create a new solid and\u00a0make the solid completely black. Hit OK, good. And just move it in behind\u00a0so it&#8217;s a light window that breaks and there&#8217;s nothing but blackness in\u00a0behind. So take all of these elements and we&#8217;re going to pre-compose those\u00a0and we&#8217;re going to call this &#8220;glass animation.&#8221; And now we&#8217;re going to time\u00a0relap this make it more dramatic. So just go layer, time, enable time\u00a0relapping. Now, we want to go to where that first shatter kind of happens,\u00a0so it&#8217;s breaking. And we want the pieces to be right in our face, so\u00a0that&#8217;s a good spot to start. And you can just go ahead about five or so\u00a0frames, put a key frame there, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Now we&#8217;re going to just go ahead to where all the pieces have fallen off\u00a0and away and set a key frame there. Advance the last key frame and remove\u00a0it, because really our animation is done after all our pieces are off.\u00a0What we&#8217;re going to do is grab these last two key frames here, and we&#8217;re\u00a0going to move them away from the first two key frames. And <strong>After Effects<\/strong>\u00a0fills in the rest of the information to make this floating glass happen for\u00a0us. Then we&#8217;ll just pinch the last two together a little bit, so that it&#8217;s\u00a0floating and then it speeds away. And now take these center two keyframes, so they&#8217;re the start and end of the slowdown, pull them control or\u00a0command, click on them, turn them into these nice circles to auto their\u00a0values. And then you can see that it kind of gradually gets into the<br \/>\nslowing and then it comes out of the slowing, as well.<\/p>\n<p>And the last thing to add to all of this stuff is what&#8217;s called a force\u00a0motion blur, which will force these things to be blurry. So that it&#8217;s\u00a0blurry and then it slows down like the camera is speeding up to catch these\u00a0things, but you still have that nice motion blur when it breaks open. So\u00a0stylistically, we&#8217;re also going to want to make a new adjustment layer and\u00a0on that adjustment layer I&#8217;m going to put a curves. I&#8217;m going to use this\u00a0curves just to kind of make these things brighter and a little more\u00a0contrast. I&#8217;m going to go into the red and pull some of the reds out. I&#8217;m\u00a0going to go into the blues, and add some blue. Just to give it a blue\u00a0look, because for whatever reason things at nighttime are blue and we\u00a0associate blue with dark things.<\/p>\n<p>Now we&#8217;re going to create a new, solid, maybe comp size, keep it black and\u00a0put it below everything. And on this layer we&#8217;re going to put a ramp and\u00a0make the start of the ramp to be sort of a lighter color, so maybe a 20%.\u00a0And the end color, make it fully dark. Good. Set the start of the ramp to\u00a0be in the center. Set the end of the ramp to be out of frame, down in the\u00a0corner. And then set your glass animation to be on add so that you can\u00a0see we&#8217;ve got this nice gradient just behind, coloring everything. And\u00a0maybe change the gradient to a radial gradient. And that looks quite nice.\u00a0Although, the linear gradient, you know, there&#8217;s something to be said for\u00a0that, as well. So just make this a little darker, I&#8217;m happy with those\u00a0results. So now you have a nice, shattering title of whatever you put on\u00a0that first layer.<\/p>\n<p>And you can always go back to that layer, the glass to shatter layer, and\u00a0then change this. So if you don&#8217;t want it to say &#8220;glass,&#8221; it can say, &#8220;EC\u00a0Abrams from Premiumbeat.com.&#8221; And then you can have a nice, little title\u00a0here. You might just want to size that up and put that in a better spot,\u00a0but all told, that pretty much sums up what we&#8217;re making. The last thing\u00a0to do is, of course, export it, where you&#8217;ll just set your work area and\u00a0render it out.<\/p>\n<p>So, this has been Evan Abrams for PremiumBeat.com, your source for tips and\u00a0tricks in <strong>After Effects<\/strong> and other applications, on our blog.

He has been using After Effects since version 5.5 (2002) and during his career has worked with clients ranging from multinational corporations and government institutions, to unsigned musicians and start up businesses, and all points in between. Freelancing is one of Evan's great joys since it connects him with new and interesting people, businesses, projects and ideas that he finds fascinating. He currently specializes in motion graphics and kinetic typography. Other fun facts about Evan: he is a 2nd\u00a0Dan Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do and he grew up in rural Ontario Canada next to a The Big Apple (a novelty truck stop).
