In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create a stunning energy field breach with VFX stock footage.

One of the important aspects of WandaVision's plotline is the creation of the Hex, a word they used to explain Wanda's energy field she created to keep intruders at bay.

If you wanted to leave the barrier, there's an incredible opportunity for VFX stock footage, as a reaction ensues from an object piercing the energy field. And in this After Effects tutorial, that's exactly what we will teach you!

We've included the project files below so you can follow along!

Before we jump into the tutorial with your project files in hand, let's cover the three main steps we discuss in this tutorial.

  1. Creating a transition of the hand breaking through the barrier
  2. Adding the swirling glow effect around the hand
  3. Compositing ActionVFX Sparks and Energy stock footage
The 3D model of the astronaut was created by Albin Merle. You can find the original model here.
