After Effects, need some help

Hey guys,

we have the task of editing music video clip in school this week and
I had a particular idea of a scene after watching this shatter tutorial on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkID0QZ31Es

The raw footage is not from us, so anything that has not been done, has to be artifically done in
premiere or after effects(im so green in ae).

So it goes like this.
Through certain filters i want it to appear that the footage is seen through a TV, lets say with scanlines and
and a vintage look. Now at some point the singer leans towards the camera, where he shatters the
glas of the tv.

How do I make the glass shatter according to the shape of the face of the guy?
And how do i realise it that underneath the glass the footage has it's native colors, without the filters/lines?
Without cutting it, the video inside the tv continues throughout the whole scene.

First, bone up on on AE. Do ALL of the VideoCopilot Basic Training free tutorials.

The answers then will present themselves.

Here are the concepts and techniques I would call on.. AE, Layers, Blending modes, key frames, cracked windshield asset. Shatter effect, bulge, noise, ...etc..

YOu have a semi transperent layer that has the scan lines, the singer lens forward and the cracks show up, then you shatter that, revealing the un-tv-ized footage underneath.

Stock footage of real glass shattering is going to look worlds better than the shatter effect.

And what wheat said, once you learn the program you can usually figure out how to do what you're wanting to do.

At around 42 seconds of my most recent IT Christmas video...

You can see how I used a still image of a cracked glass with a revealing masks to show a similar effect. The key in this working is the sound effect used..
