    First of all I am looking for real fire composite with body like the way they have shown in the music video of Love the way you lie by eminem (link below)

    It show fire on skin,
    Now I know that we can use Videocopilot action essentials fire
    I just want more Idea how it shouldn’t look repetitive – in this example unique flame come as it megan fox moves her hand making it more generic and real.

    The second thing that I am looking for is in the below example in the starting few seconds

    One way to create the “fire” in the first video would be to use a particle generator – like trapcode particular to create fire, track the hand motion and use that to control the position of the emitter.

    Video Copilot has a tutorial that is pretty similar to what you are trying to achieve in the 2nd video, take a look, you should be able to modify to suit your needs. – https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/3d_sparks_title/
