  • HELP! Doing bright glow lights as seen in ALL new rap videos

    Posted by Pawl Fisher on November 12, 2009 at 6:24 am

    hello

    I am trying to figure out how to do the BRIGHT LIGHT glow effect that I see in all new rap videos. IT is like
    a really bright hot glow and i know it was done in post production

    As seen in this video:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZql1_vuVGo

    (and every other new video out)

    it seems like a film burn overlayed with compositing..

    please help!!

    Understood. I have done similiar things with layer compositing and using stock footage of film burns etc. Maybe if I can find video of starburst with an alpha channel

    my footage is already shot,, so in your professional opinion how could i achieve the BLINDING look ? do you know any sites that would offer light footage like that that maybe I could combine with a lens flare.

    The point of my original post is that the lights appear to be “hotter than white”. I’ve seen something similiar to this in AE. I am asking on here because people here are experts in AE . How can I mimic this effect since I don’t have a multimillion dollar set/studio

    thanks
