Tut Tuesday: OK Go – WTF? Video Effect

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’ “WTF?” 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.
