[Hue Animation Tips] How to create special effects and explosions - a tutorial

www.youtube.com

Today's video of tips and demonstrations is all about the fun special effects you can set up using stop motion animation. Crashes, explosions, chroma key (green screen), editing a Lego minifigure's facial expression and more; once you start learning about creating special effects you'll keep thinking of new tricks to try! We'd love to hear what kind of effects you can dream up in the video comments. All of the animation footage shown in the video was created in Hue Animation Studio using our Hue camera. Check our channel and our website for more tips, tricks and animation advice! http://www.hueanimation.com
