creating a gunflare effect for film footage

[Hans Van vliet]

Hey,

Sounds like all good fun. Bullet impacts, you’ll need tracking setups for that. But for muzzle flashes, I saw this break down of a composite that you might like to see ..

They have break downs on all effects, not a high budget film but still a good example of what to look for, and so on .. anyways, hope that helps.

Also, there’s an app from the UK called Alam DV (2) which specializes in this sort of thing; it’s $90 (50 pounds, I forget how many Euros) and developers are constantly adding new plugins. It is a bit fan-boyish but very useful.
