The Grid
Added 2025-07-16 14:32:10 +0000 UTCHi! Here's an After Effects project I was playing in. It uses the idea of creating mattes based on posterized brightness levels and then combining them using glows and blurs. I'm using Deep Glow 2 here, but you can swap in your own glow to make it work. I might expand on this further, but I do like the current look a lot. You can also turn off the Mosaic effect (or double the blocks) in the Source comp to get a less blocky look that still works.

I can't include the VHS footage I used so you'll have to source your own for that. I think mine came from a sampler from Artlist forever ago.
Anyway, thanks for your support and have fun with this effect!
