world lit by candle light

[Simon Bonner]

Is this a ‘real’ scene with actors, or some motion graphics?

it’s a 3D scene, there are actors that I green screened and dropped into what is basically a diorama (stacked layers as back ground, etc…)..

If you are using a light, make it a warm colour and apply a wiggle expression (with numbers for just the freq & amp, omit the rest) to the light’s position or point of interest so the shadows wiggfle around a bit.

That’s one way …

I would also recommend wiggling the intensity of the light.

In case you’re not familiar with wiggle here is the basic structure:

wiggle(f, a); //f = frequency (how often) and a = amplitude (how much)

You apply this to a property by adding an expression (opt-shift = or opt-click on the stopwatch) and typing the above code in (only replace f with your frequency and a with your amplitude).
