hi welcome to dupy animations so in this tutorial we will be designing a simple news studio in After Effects without the use of a third party software or Plugin please kindly like subscribe and comment so this tutorial is in line with a question asked okay for a live news broadcast I will advise that friend to use a VX software but for post production whereby you want to have control over creating or designing your own new studio then you need a 3D software so I created this simple studio in After Effects for this tutorial as you can see I did not add material reflection or Studio light all right so let's open after effect okay so I have after effect open here so first I'll create a composition 1920 by 1080 1080 then I will name it main let's bring our guide or rulers so I'll go to the menu come to view then select show rulers then bring the horizontal one in the middle somewhere here okay we are going to create our new anchor or readers Dex so I'm going to use this ruler as the guide for the table okay it's just a simple table please for this tutorial because designing a new studio in after effect take lot of time so I'm going to center it on the the newsex and the reader all right if you want more detail please let me know in the comment section all right so I'll go for the pen two then right click inside the main then come to New select shape layer okay so I'll click somewhere here then click out here all right then C it a bit then click here all right so after that what I'll do is just select the selection two then move this to this side a bit just adjust the lines okay then curve it well let me curve it well okay so if you are happy with the Curve you have so far then you are good to go so I'll be creating just a simple desk then uh I'll go to stroke then increase the stroke so let me see let's say something like 250 is okay a bit C here so let me make it a straight let me c this thing in a bit more and bring it out a bit so that the news desk will be more of an over kind of shape now let's make it 3D so I'll click on the tle switches here and bring out a 3D box so I'll click here to make it 3D with a new After Effects once you make a 3D it gives you the options that's the geometry options where you can turn your shape layer to an extrusion okay first let me flip it so let me press r on the keyboard down an X rotation let me flip it to something likeus 90° okay so now let's come to the geometry options here okay where it says Extrusion depth let me increase it you see that it's coming down you see that so something like this length I know maybe 350 since I'll have other things too so 350 I'll duplicate this one then a duplicated one theu I'll make it something like 10 okay then change the color to something like um let me see blue blue is okay then then the stroke size let me make it let me say 300 and c 300 let me make a 350 350 then the extion depth let me see 20 okay extion depth 20 is good all right then you can duplicate it control D then move it up you move this one up the duplicated one up duplicate again then bring it to the middle here then duplicate again bring it down so you can duplicate again then bring it down again then change the color to something like maybe gray then the one at the top here let me duplicate that one then bring it a bit down then let me make this one to gray now what is left is filling the gab in the middle here okay so I will duplicate okay the one at the bottom here which is the white one I'll duplicate it control D then pull it up or you let me clear it and duplicate the one on top here control D okay then bring it down a bit then the sttion depth let's go something like let me see 50 let me see 50 50 is not enough so let me see 100 okay so 100 is okay 100 is okay okay then the stroke size let's reduce the stroke size all the way here let's go again let me let me make it 150 all right let me make this one transparent I'll press T then opacity let's go 50 all right all right now we have this first let me save the work now what we are going to do is we are going to create an N object to control the sin Okay so let me right click in new and insert in a camera first camera okay so we have camera let's right click in new then select Nile object okay now let's make the Nile object 3D all right let me switch the view to a for view left for view left okay so now when we are looking at the top here that's the camera let me change this so that this is the top of the camera okay and the Nile object is in the middle here so what I'm going to do is I'm going to link or parent the camera to the N objects then rename the N object C control C control okay so when I press r on the keyboard and I rotate the N object on my rotation this is what I have you see so this is the inside of my deex you see that so let's go back our SC is blun there is no light that can give a bit of shadowness or the richness of the SC a bit okay although we are not going to go in depth to this at least we should add a bit of light to it okay so our right click in new and insert in a light just a simple light okay so this our first light now let's position the light well so we are going to insert a four light in here so I'll pull it down a bit somewhere here okay and push it backwards now let me go up a bit more then I'll duplicate it control D so now the duplicated one let me move it to the back let me duplicate again control D and move it to the right side of the table so let me go this direction see that you see it's giving me some nice Shadows here okay let me duplicate another again and move it to the left side of the table if you like we can insert a fifth one but that one will be on top so let me set in new lights I'll bring that one on top uh let position it in the middle somewhere here and move it up so I think this is okay you can reduce the light intensity if you want while time goes on okay now let me let me reduce the opacity of this shape it was 50 let me take it something like 30 and see let me see 40 okay let me leave it at 40 all right now because there is no WS behind the deck or other stuff that's why you are seeing the deck BLS like this all right so let's continue so now I have this let me bring maybe a news reader or anchors picture and lay it on the table there first so let me see if I have an image in here that I can work with okay I have this image here let me bring it in so let me click and drag it here then make it 3D okay now once you make a 3D when you view it here you see this where it is okay it's inside the deex here so let me pull it up and scale it up press s then scale it up let's go up a bit more so somewhere here is good so I'll select the Pan behind two then move the Azle The Anchor Point to station at the on top of the table here okay let me position it on this this way this place is okay whenever I scale it I don't have to be Shifting the image it will just scale up from that particular pivotal Point okay now we have this so we have a news reader okay let me move the camera control up we have a news reader in our s and uh a DEX so let's come to effects and presets and type separate XYZ position separate XYZ position and double click to apply it onto the camera control Okay so I'm going to move the deex down so that the news reader will show well okay so on y position let's go up let's go down okay so now it's showing well as you can see the light source at the top is having too much intensity on the image you can decide to come to the image if the light intensity is too much come to the image okay then come to material options then off the lights on the image this way you have the natural feel of the person okay or you can just leave it like that then reduce the intensity of the lights at the top okay when we come to the light option the one at the top let me see yeah this is the one the one at the top so you can just reduce it to something like 50 so 50 is okay all right that that is if you're not going to show the top of the table but if you're going to show the top of the table you need to keep the light intensity then take off the lights on the person so with this you are done with your des and your news reader All right so creating something like when you have a small Studio you can design a simple uh virtual set inside After Effects then shoot the reader on a chroma key or green screen then bring it inside after effect so once you take the green screen off it will be with only the person then you lay the person here okay like the example you saw during the intro you lay the person here then your logo is here your lower thir is here then you are good to go just a simple uh news production now let's try to maybe create some walls around the deck or let's okay let's place a video image on the screen behind him all right so let me move come to the C control then on Z position let's go in let's go in then push the deex backwards okay so here is perfect so let me leave it here first now let's create some Wars all right so let's right click in new then come to solid select solid click okay all right then make it 3D once you make it 3D it comes in line with where the image is okay so now press P for position on the keyboard B then we are going to move it backwards that's the Z you stand on the Z then move it backwards so maybe something like not to go far I think 300 is will be okay or let me make it 400 so 400 will be okay 400 then you can scale it up come to the Anchor Point or P behind two then move the Anchor Point to the bottom here you see that okay now duplicate the wall okay we are seeing it here duplicate the wall then press r on the keyboard y rotation let's go 90° okay then move it to the left side you're just creating the wall remember that then this side pull it in front let me press p on position so this one is too close to the Dex so maybe I'll go something like let move it a bit away so this is enough let me duplicate it the move the duplicated one to this side also now you can select the three select the three then move them upwards a bit then move them up so somewhere here it's okay let me stand at the top here of the image then pull them up because the Anchor Point is down there wherever I stand I can drag it up so this is enough all right now the one in the middle or the back there you can stand at the edge here then scale it up to tach those two so now you see I'm creating a wall it looks like the person is hanging here so let me pull the person down so now what I'm going to do is just come to effect and process and let me apply just a simple gradient ramp apply it onto this one then let me swap the colors or flip them so let me pull this one up a bit let me copy it the effect come to the other solid layer then paste it there all right so now the only thing left now is the floor then we add the Telly but first let me add the Telly first okay so let me create a new composition uh let me make it 2000 2000 by 1920 and okay so this is okay all right so let me name it TV okay just create a stroke around the image okay so let me try to find some pict if I have any picture here that's all right so let me bring this video image okay I'll drag it in here then let's create a stroke around this so you can just do a simple solid layer make it black then compress this one down you bring it down like this let's duplicate then bring one up instead of using stroke you're just going to use just a simple solid layer for that then let me duplicate this one again move it to this side as well okay move another one to here so I think this is enough for our television okay so now let's create uh some line on top of it to make it look like a video wall okay so let's create a new composition s okay then come to effects and presets and type maybe grade grade effects then apply it so let me select weth slider then let's see let me scale that uh still too small this is the best that you can do okay then the Border let me increase it a bit let make it black okay so you have something like this see that now the the video that's behind the video wall shouldn't be too bright so I'll come to uh effects and presets and type heel heel SLS saturation saturation then apply it on top of it then colorize it okay now let's try to match the color to the new setting okay if this color is okay for you then it's okay then reduce the saturation a bit more okay so that it w be loud there okay so now let's bring it to the main first and see so let me click and drag the TV composition in here make a 3D see once you make a 3D straight away project it to the back or beside the person so it's here so let me move it back see that so let's go so somewhere here it's okay okay now let's pull it up and pull it up here you can take the light off to you come to material options okay then take the light off so that you maintain the the dimness of the video wall okay so like this is okay for the video wall all right but if you feel that it's not enough for you you can go and stretch it okay stretching it here will make it look it will it will look a bit weird in some way okay so I advise maybe you go to the television then right clicking then increase the width here you increase the width here uh uh something like this is enough so all that you have to do is just the sides the edges just push them touch it then this want to push it then this one maybe stretch it up stretch this one to up and you can stretch your image within the scene here also so this is okay then when it comes to the Gade just right click on it come to transform then fit to come so that to tach it you want to add more grade okay you want to add more grade you just come here then reduce it here so let me reduce the size of the border of the grid to something like let me see eight now let's come to our main so you see so you have this okay now let's create a Flor for this if I want to build a nice well Advanced studio in after effect with this it will take a while to arrange all these things okay and we don't have that much time that's why I'm trying to use a simple design to explain it a bit more okay so let's create a floor then try to end it there all right so uh right clicking new or you can just duplicate one of the flaw there okay let me duplicate the floor at the back control D okay then let me rotate it on X so to come down 90° 90 okay so you have this so where is the come control let me pull it up here so when I stand on the Z position I can go a bit more see that I'm going a bit more so this let me scale it up here all right so I have this now this three can still select them then pull them up to cover the top here so now the bottom one let me duplicate it control D then come to effect and presets and type grid the grid and apply it to it okay let me take the ramp off okay now the GD let me pull it up now let me select the width slider so it gives me the accurate box the increase the size of the WTH within it let's go let's go let's go so something like this is okay then I'll make it black instead of the white I'll make it black all right okay the Dex is here alone so I'll try to create or design uh uh a Flor that the Dex will be on okay so it can be any shape at all so let me just create a shape let me right click in new then select shape layer okay we going to create any shape at all for that rule let me bring the rule here somewhere here okay so select the pen two stand here then click then I'll stand here then click let me bring this one one here then this one also here then I'll stand here then click maybe somewhere here click then somewhere here click somewhere here then click the end it's here now let me select the convert vectors to then straighten this particular point it looks curved okay then I'll curve this point this part I'll curve this point too I'll curve this point to then this point I'll C it as well let me reduce the stroke or let me just take the stroke off then fill in let me keep it to a deep blue color let me leave it to this blue so this is okay so now let's try to C it nicely so this the middle one make everything nicely let me pull this side in out out a bit this side to let me push it outward a bit so let me select this then this and push them out push this one out so I can say this is okay so from here I'll make a 3D then press r on the keyboard then on X rotation go minus 90 then let me scale it up press X then scale it up then bring it down now driu driu let's go something like uh let me see distribtion let's go something like uh 30 let me go 30 I think with this we can end it then so let me scale it up a bit more all right now let me stand on the Y here then pull this up now you can duplicate this one control d uh bottom one let's increase the size or let me just scale it up if you prefer then bring this one down okay so you have something like this there maybe the color let's make it a bit gray if you like you can put this side in depends on the style you going for so now you can see it well so then maybe let me select it and Pull It in front a bit more where is it this one so I think we this we are done here maybe the other things is just lighting the SC and changing the some to have a good shads within it that won't affect the news cter so but for a small studio all this won't be necessary okay the main focus will be on the deck and the person and the screen behind Okay so with the c control you can just slowly zoom in okay zoom in to the new SC and it's de so somewhere here let me uh let me let's come down what you need actually let me take the the four view left off so that it to be left with this so what you need is just this so now let's see what you have now if you want to zoom in that's why I added the cam control you can just zoom in slowly in and out if you want to rotate tilt it a bit you can with this you are done with your virtual set studio setup for a news broadcast channel okay just a small Studio you don't need that much open space unless you want to but if you want to design a serious virtual set maybe later on I will take it into Cinema 4D and design an actual virtual set or Studio set for this although I'll take my time and redesign it in after Effect 2 but it's more fun when you do it in a 3D software okay all right folks so this come to the end of another tutorial I hope it helps that friend that ask a question concerning virtual sets in after effect okay so after designing this set all that you have to do is shoot your news reader on a green screen okay if I had a green screen image here I would have used it okay shoot your news reader on a green screen then you bring it in here then take out the green then place the person behind the Des then that's it see you next time
