#writing with a flash
3 messages in this thread
Hi to all,
for a Trailer I have to write a word with a flash. I know that there is a
flash producing IPAS from Schreiber but I saw the images it produces in the
IPAS reference book.
That`s not what I need. I need a realistic looking, glowing, sparks producing,
exploding flash!
I can use the glow with LenzFX Aura, the sparks with VAPOR but what can I do
to make a flash with its fractal look. I`m think of a modelling approach but is
this really the best way? Can`t believe.
So what would the hollywood professionals do to create such an effect ( BTW: I
don`t have Alias/Wavefront )?????
Thank you very much in advance.
Michael
Michael,

quite often I'd guess they'd use a combination or layered effect often using
real live action shot on film. The first thing that came to my mind was an arc
welder, filmed on black velvet for easy keying. That would look great. If
that's not in the budget, I'd suggest a combination of particle systems and
Lenzfx2 + Inferno effects.
Hi Martin,
nothing is in the budget <g>. I agree with you and try to use paricles (for
the sparks) and glowing with LenzFx. Maybe I can upload a flic in a few weeks.
BTW: did you get the RayMan NDA we faxed last week?
