Recreating a thunder’s LIGHT

[John Cuevas]

Aharon Rabinowitz did a pretty good tutorial on weather replacement(creating a storm) where he creates some onscreen distant lighting, you might find it useful. Weather Replacement

Thank you, I’ll check that out! The issue is I’ll have to create the light the thunder creates, not the thunder itself. (But I have to in another shot so thanks ;])

I’d love to hear more. 🙂 Thank you for the reply.

So.. My shot is of course a 2D movie. I also sadly have trees in front of the buildingm but even more than the shadows I’m unsure about how to do the light itself on After. I can’t believe I’ll have to play with levels and white solids, and most of all.. It’s a thunder, so it will be fast as a gunshot.

I’m probably missing what to do frame by frame to do the illusion though…

It always helps if you post the clip – more ideas can come that way.

Sadly I can’t, there’s we can call it a NDA.
