  Film Light Leak Look

  Posted by Chuck E! on November 1, 2007 at 12:08 am

  I’ve been tring to get a effect that looks like a light leak in a film magazine. As if there were flames dancing in front of the lens. The closest I can get is using color correction, doing a five frame edit that goes from over exposed to regular exposure, but this just looks like an old white pop flash.
  Any ideas on what direction to go?
  I work on an Avid Express Pro with Avid FX and Boris FX
  Thanks

  I use sapphire and bcc glows for this. You are on the right track with the tools you have. Stacking some color effects and some defocus will do wonders. Cut on, 3 frame dissolve out, 2 frame dissolve in, cut out. You can keep it random how ya use it. Stackin some together in spots, using only one quick one elsewhere.
  have fun with it.
