Wow! This tutorial is simply incredible. Steve teams up with the amazing folks at ProductionCrate to build this realistic portal effect. We have featured portal effects before, but this takes the effect to a whole new level. Here you will learn how to fully walk through, and then look back on the world you left behind! Thank you Steve for creating such amazing content, and thank you ProductionCrate for all the amazing assets you offer!

From the instructor:

Here's another fun superhero video effect - walking though a magic portal like Marvel's Doctor Strange! Various youtubers have tried the portal effect before (like Cinecom and Action Movie Kid) but we took the effect further by using real camera movement, with the shot following me into an entirely different location in one take. Let us know in the comments how you think it was done... tutorial coming soon! Clue - this is a little similar to our Ghost moving though door effect, and our window smash effect done in one single take (or at least made to look like a single take!) and for once, this one DIDN'T happen with a green screen!
