  magic effect

  Posted by Madman411 on July 5, 2007 at 2:54 am

  Hey guys,

  I’m trying to replicate the magic effect that is used on the kids show Sabrina The Teenage Witch. About 1 minute 45 seconds into this video is what I’m talking about.

  I understand that particles are used to generate this effect, it’s just I don’t know what to do after that.

  Thank you!

  Here’s a link to a post by Rick Gerard, that you should be able to adapt to your needs.

  DigiEffects Delirium plugin has fairy dust that might be another possibile solution.

  Wow, that post is old. Good work on Ricks part, no question.

  These days though, Trapcode particlular or wondertouch particleIllusion are a good place to start. Both have presets for similar effects, although I think you’ll have more luck with particleIllusion for something this simple. Other people would say use particular

  The effect itself is quite simple, but the actor is either filmed on a green screen or at a seperate time on the same BG. Simple fade out along with the particles does the job.

  make sense?

  Best,

  Aharon
