Freebie: Bokeh Distortion for After Effects | The Waenderer
The Waenderer has a cool free After Effects template that distorts bokeh with a second aspect ratio that mimics the bokeh created by real photography lenses.
“Bokeh Distortion is a template which lets you add a 2nd aspect ratio to your bokehs. I’m sure you’ve seen this photography shot with an old lens like Leica, and the shape of the bokeh at the border is different… They’re not round, rather oval. Well, this template let you do this and more!
Don’t be shy and dare distort your bokeh and invent weird new blurs!
Keep in mind this is in NOT a plugin, just a classic template AE project file with a comp where you add your footage and a final render comp with a control layer.”
