  Action Essentials 2

  The new Action Essentials 2 look really nice. Compliments!
  But I was just wondering whether they are made with (the pro-emitters from) Particle Illusion?

  According to Video Copilot, most (over 95% I think) of the footage was live action, I have a copy of action essentials 2, and in my opinion I think it is too real to be fake. Some of the files (like the particle explosions) look CGI only because it would be impossible to capture that element in real life, so perhaps those were done with particle illusion.

  Your friend,
