Destroying Earth with a Black Hole (Tutorial)

For the past couple of months I've been working on this sequence - it's bit entirely in After Effects and the only element which is not part of AE's default effects is the free Orb effect from Video Copilot.

There are loads of steps and the tutorial was threatening to be really long and hard to follow, so I've split it into 3 parts.

• Part 1 (recentering a texture map): https://youtu.be/LzchoPyT6bI

• Part 2 (using a precomp to break up the surface): https://youtu.be/f2vNi4DUKa8

• Part 3 (using Fractal Noise / Turbulent Noise to replicate billions of particles): https://youtu.be/cwiDR73mVI0
