simulating camera flashes
Hello all
I have a gig Im working on, where I have to simulate camera flashes over a crowd in a stadium. The shot will be from over the side of the upper deck. Im using After effects…but we have 3d artists using maya
Here is my best reference……

I’d try a one, two or three frame feathered circle filled with white.
Color Grading presets for After Effects, Premiere, etc., plus free presets and more.

The only thing I can say is: don’t use simple round points of light. Watch the video… if the flash is straight across from you then a round patch or a star patch would work, but as the angle to the flash increases, the shape of the light changes… goes from a single point of too-bright light, to a cone of light in which you can actually see people. And it all tracks with the motion of the camera for the most realism.
