In this video clip, we used the Brush Stroke effect in Premiere Pro. To use apply this to your video, you must first drag your chosen clip into the control panel, and right under the control panel, there is a small button with a piece of film icon. Click on this icon and drag the clip into the timeline, and you'll notice that by clicking on that icon, you have left out any audio that went with the clip. Next, go into the editing panel (below the source panel) and look into Video Effects. Click into Stylize and you'll get a list of the many different effects you can use. For the Brush Stroke, click onto "Brush Stroke" and drag it directly on your clip in the timeline. To play around with the effect, look up into Effect controls and play around with it, and even animate it. Once you've achieved the look you want, save and upload to Youtube.
I think the Brush Stroke effect works well in hiding someone's identity. If using this in a dream-like state scene, you could make this person seem like a messenger, or a mysterious individual.
