This tutorial shows how to complete the Abyss tentacle. Watch as I take the RPF sequence into After Effects, combine it with some greenscreen footage, and then use techniques like keying, color correcting and adding a fake motion from a camera to complete the scene. Learn about keylight, adjustment layers, curves, tritones and many more helpful tips.
