Hi, Andrew!
Your tutorials are not only great, but quite entertaining. Just letting you know I used the effect for my latest musicvideo for the Swedish band Decadence. The demon face appears at about 4.09, but I used the technique on other places too.
Im at the part where you draw a mask around the face, done that bit but where Andrew uses the mask shape to ajust the mask, i dont have that, mine says mask path, not mask shape.. any help would be great..
