First I saw it on Motionographer, then I saw it on Postfolio, and low and behold there was a making of. Tim Nakashi\’s video for OK GO is pretty visually amazing, and makes you feel like you are on a hardcore acid trip (which I think is what he was going for). After the jump, check out their video, and the making of, but one thing I realized, there really wasn\’t an explanation as to how they did the effect. I mean, they explain what props they used and why, but how did it work on the back end? Well it\’s actually pretty simple… the Echo effect in After Effects. Check out my tutorial on how to make this effect, and how easy it really is.

Thanks for posting all 3 clips together. The main thing is that having an alpha channel is THE KEY to this working—thus the green screen shoot, otherwise you really get nothing.

The vid’s nice. Although not the first that I’ve seen to use this effect, it does use it very nicely and very imaginatively.

That means of course that this effect is completely out of bounds for the next 5 years. :)

One question: Why use the Echo Effect which stated is very slow and memory intensive?

I would suggest use the Time Blend FX plugin instead. Much faster and you’ll lose some rendering artifacts to boot.
