    This is a sample of some .jpg’s I have. I want to be able to animate the bulbs inside of the letters so that they flicker intermittently. Should I just use a lens flare? That is what I’ve done so far, but I have feeling there may be a better way that I just don’t know of. I also want the neon beams behind it to light up as well. It’s going to be for my myspace page. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Duplicate the layer. On the top layer Increase the contrast, Make a garbage matte, then do a Luma key. You can the add some kind of color effect or glow with an expression to make it flicker.
