Hey everyone,
Quick After Effects question.
For fun, I'm making a little scene where I behead my friend Austin, who was nice enough to let me kill him.
Im useing a light saber, so i have an imaginary blade for this particular scene. I have my blade going through his head, and I have removed his head using a freeze frame.

What I have right now is my blade going through his neck and his head dissapearing as he falls backwards.

Any tips on how to make the head fly away?
Thanks,
Chax
 
Thats what I used, thanks anyway
But I want to amek the head fly through the air.
Can I somewho creatre a solid that is just his head?
 
Yeah, you could, but why would a head shoot up into the air? Realistically, it would just topple off the shoulders and fall to the floor. Definitely doable with a tight mask, and keyframed positioning, will just take some tweaking.
 
Yeah, topple is a more accurate term, itll just hop off and fall away off screen. Awsome. thanks all, ive got it
