VFX History and Tutorial: Sci-Fi’s Most Iconic Effect - Slitscan

In my latest VFX History video, I take a look at slitscan.  The effect used in 2001, Doctor Who (1974), Star Wars and Star Trek: TNG.  Throughout the video I use After Effects to illustrate the technique and how it was adapted and then, I end by showing you how to recreate the mechanics of slitscan inside AE using the Echo effect, 3D layers and Essential Graphics.
