  Police flashing lights effect???????

  Posted by Mike Leonard on September 20, 2007 at 1:49 pm

  I have a scene that needs a subtle police car flashing light. Of course, I should have shot it that way, but I didn’t. Anyone have any ideas?

  Thanks,
  Mike

  Generated Media, Bezier masks, soft edges, high transparency.

  You might use this idea in the future: I had a scene with the flashing lights and those aren’t easy to come by. I took a couple of those $10 high powered, rechargeable beam lights and put an 80% red gell on one and an 80% blue gell on the other. Someone stood to the side and wiggled them back and forth over the actors. It worked great. One part was driving in a convertible when the lights start flashing. The audio guy added a blip off a siren, very realistic.
