  • How do I create this special lens flare effect?

    Posted by Todd Davies on October 16, 2014 at 6:28 pm

    Hey all!

    So I was wondering how to create a lens flare-like effect. I should mention that I already know how to make the circle lens flare effect in after effects but I’m looking for more of a colored “wash” lens flare effect.

    The effect is in this video starting at 00:16 seconds, with the lady in the car and the pink/yellow hues bouncing around.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or at least pointing me towards a tutorial or just the name of the effect so i can find a tut.

    Thanks all!

    Did you forget to link the video?

    For lens flare effects I use the Red Giant add-ons (knoll light factory, etc). Simple and lovely.
