Fire Compositing in After Effects
In this project I want to showcase my progress with adding elements to simple footage.
VFX Breakdown video:
The AE file contains around 18 layers of visual effects.
Since i am not professional i used FREE fire elements from fxelements.com
- added 1 free smoke and 1 dust footage from here
USED:
- cc radial glow for the fire "flare"
- the basic AE glow for the fire + VR Glow to give it an extra pop
- AE Fractal Noise for the leaks
- Turbulent Displace to make the air look "hot"
- Track Motion and masking the fire around the fingers, make it look like she "controls" the fire
While I acknowledge that I am not a seasoned professional in the field of VFX and do not derive my livelihood from it, my work is a product of dedicated practice. I must note that due to budget constraints, I do not have access to high-end professional tools that could enhance the overall quality of my projects. Nevertheless, I take pride in my efforts and hope that you can appreciate the artistic value in my work.
