Tutorial | Halloween Eye VFX - The Thing With A Hundred Eyes - FREE template!

Halloween is getting closer, and while we don’t have any candy to hand out, we do have a few tricks and a treat, in the form of a new tutorial and an insanely awesome project file from Red Giant’s own Lead Designer, Leo Hageman.

Leo has created an easy-to-use project with 100 different eye presets, based on characters from Hollywood movies and TV shows. So in this tutorial, Leo walks you through using our free digital contact lens project file so you can get up and running quickly.

NOTE: there are two versions of the project file. One that uses only native effects in Adobe AE CC2019, and an enhanced version that uses VFX Suite and Magic Bullet Suite.

We’ll also cover a few other resources:
AE Viewer Plugin
Unsplash Photography
Stan Winston School
ActionVFX Stock FX Footage
Triune Color: Horror LUTs
