  • Trailing effect?

    Posted by Caton Clark on January 15, 2008 at 3:08 pm

    I’m cutting a scene with a guy who is supposed to be high and tripping.

    I’m trying to create an effect where his body seems to be creating trails, but I haven’t had great results.

    I’ve been trying blur effects which are ok, but I’m wondering if anyone has ever done this and knows of a better way to do it.

    Thanks.

    FCP 6 has Effects/Time/Trails.

    CHV has a great set of Time plug-ins that do exactly what you are looking for.

    I’d also try playing with the motion blur settings under the motion tab of your viewer, I’ve had good results with that replicating drunk driving. Kinda the same thing you’re looking for i think.

    Hope that helps!
