Here is where you can buy the plugin for after effects. It should be accessible to anyone who wants to mess around with it.

AEPixelSorter2.0.4Mac.zip (335.5 kB) AE Pixel Sorter lets you create and experiment with pixel sorting in After Effects with ease. Pixel sorting is an effect you can buy that takes pixels and skews them across the screen at a threshold you set. You think someone was there who actually wasn’t in memories, and you place faces of people that you used to know in dream stories. This happens in dreams and memories all the time. When it is hard to know or identify who the face of the person is on screen, then the viewer can easily project a familiar face of their own and identify with the video on a different level.

At the end of the video there are two totally different silhouettes, but they feel like they might be sequential in an actual timeline. They are perfect for various videos, sports movies, film openers, intros, promos, movie trailers, action movies, fashion movies or any other video projects requiring a trendy look. These presets will add dynamic expressions and will attract attention. This footage creates a spacey feeling and no real feeling of the actual location the footage was shot in. Item details Add to your video a stylish and dynamic effect 'Pixel Sorting'. In dreams you only see and remember specific small details and descriptions of the big picture.

The close up aesthetic highlights the details like a memory or dream. Pixel sorting is an interesting, glitchy effect which selectively orders the pixels in the rows/columns of an image. In this video I used footage I have taken over a year period, and pieced together in a way that jumps between similar moments and movements. Pixel Sorting Introducing order in a disordered way can make for some great glitch art.
