Preparation: You need to choose a room for shooting the video of your subject jumping around. There should not be more than one window so that you can control the lighting and keep it uniform throughout.
The room must have enough free space so that the subject can jump around. Place the camera on the tripod, and the video frame will stay fixed through the video shooting.
First, you need to capture an empty shot of the room without the actor. Then you need to capture video of the actor jumping around a few times. Once you have these two video shots, you can use Wondershare Filmora to create the desired effect.
Create Anime Inspired God Speed Video Effect
What you need to prepare:
- Your computer (Windows or macOS)
- Video clip with the subject giving angry expressions
- Wondershare Filmora video editor
Install Filmora on your computer and launch the application. Click on New Project from the welcome screen. Drag and drop your video clips of empty room as well as the subject jumping around the room from your hard drive to Project media folder.

Drag and drop both clips onto the timeline. Find the point where the character is the smallest. Right-click on the video and go to Speed> Add Freeze frame. Cut the clip and get rid of the first part. Move one frame and cut the video clip and get rid of the rest.

Double-click on the freeze frame and go to mask and choose Rectangle. Scroll down and blur the edges by adjusting Blur Strength and click on Ok button.

Go to Effects menu and search for Rotate Blur and drag it onto the freeze frame. Double-click and go to Video> Effect and change parameters. Add Rotate Blur again on the freeze frame and adjust parameters for more blurry effect. Stretch the freeze frame duration.

Add the jumping video clip on top of the timeline. Cut the clip where the character is in the air. Delete the later part and place it in the same trace as the freeze frame right to its left side. Double-click the first video and go to Mask and add Rectangle mask.

Add a keyframe from Mask section where the subject is bringing his arms back. Add another keyframe at some distance and scale the mask. You should add keyframe to the jumping video from Animation section. Add multiple keyframes by one frame each and use Position X and Y to move the character across the room.

Add the original jumping clip onto the timeline and look for the part where the subject lands. Cut the clip and get rid of the former part. Bring the clip to the left of the freeze frame and add a mask. Slow down the ending from Time icon> Slow> 0.25x for a dramatic ending.

Finally, copy and paste the freeze frame and put the duplicate one on top of the original. Change the parameters for all parameters so that there are multiple characters jumping around the room. Add Cool Pop and Manga Pack Volume 2 to enhance the effect. We are done and play the video to watch the God Speed effect.
