Light passing thru clouds
My friend and I saw this the other day
https://motionographer.com/theater/under-armour-fierce-speed/and are trying to acheive a similar effect by which a light is lighting the clouds that it is traveling through and around.
I am 99% sure that the clouds are simple images layered in AE to give the appearance of depth and atmosphere. However does anyone have any best practices for lighting said clouds. Another example would be when lightning is flashing within the clouds themselves as well.
Anyone seen any tutorial online that articulate the “how-to”.
Thanks as always – JG

Levels.
Seriously. I’ve done projects similar to this and managed to pull it off with masking on adjustment layer(s) with levels applied to it and the levels effect keyframed up and down.

Judging by the way the clouds look as the camera rotates around the shoe I’d say you’re probably right about the clouds being 2D.
I’m wondering if they just had a point light parented to a particle emmiter and then animated it? That’s probably how I would do it. I’d also experiment with transfer modes on the clouds, maybe overlay? Nice spot though.
Good Luck
