Blinded by Light – After Effect CS3
Hy, I’m trying to be blind by the light in my composition.
In the composition I’ve a light and a camera but when the light is pointed to the camera I see all the things that I see before this… In the reality when a light is pointed to a camera it will blind it, from the camera I will see only white.It seems that the light that I’ve created effects only the objects and not the camera…
how to create a true light to the camera effect? Have I to enable something to do it?
thanks…

It sounds to me like you are looking to simulate a bright lens flare effect. As far as I know, just pointing a standard light at the camera in AFX will not accomplish this. I would try making a new adjustment layer, applying a lens flare effect and then pickwiping the position of the flare to the target of the light. Then, when the target crosses the camera, it will give the illusion of blinding the camera.
You could also use expressions to simulate this effect by tying the proximity of the light target to the camera to the size of the flare or another white solid to simulate the “blinding” effect
Hope this helps
