mothman blur (indrid cold effect)
hi there,
in the film mothman prophesies, when indrid cold aka mothman appears and steps out of some smoke, there is an odd kind of blur on him.
how do i do it?if you havent seen it or don’t remember it, he is in sillouhette, and the blur sort of narrows parts of his outline giving the faintest suggestion he could be a grey type alien.
I’ve played around with all of the blurs i’ve got, with different settings but i can’t even get something similar.
is it possible or do i need some kind of plugin?
i’m part of a team making a documentary; money is tight so i’d love to be able to achieve it with the stuff that after effects already has. i’m using ae 6.5

If he’s dark against a bright background it sounds like what naturally occurs in a camera when it’s facing an image like that (somewhat out of focus perhaps). You could try it with min/max or something in AE.
I’m just guessing because I haven’t seen the film so I don’t really know what you’re referring to.
