My version of the videocopilot energy ball effect

This is the latest in what will probably be a long line of visual effects tests.

I'm not happy with the moving car, but I've got to spend some time looking for actual paid work, so for the time being it will have to do.

Awesome video dude! Just wondering though... Do you need 'trapcode particular' to do this? If so where can I get it for free?

Thanks

@dancecraze5 The use of Trapcode Form here was really just me to trying something different than the original effect as seen on videocopilot. The original effect doesn't require it. If however you'd like to try something similar to my version then redgiantsoftware let you download their plugins as a free trial.

Very good indeed!

@jaSindar Cheers :-)

Nice work. I respectfully disagree with some. I do think the car only added to the scene. Even people on the street running would have been cool as well. Keep up the work.

@rkttkr Thank you, that's very kind of you and a really nice idea about adding people too.

@planetmirth2001 Indeed! keep up the good work :)

@ImageReflexion Cheers. Yes I think in hindsight I shouldn't have tried using a 2D car - it might have worked with a nice 3D model of a car - which I have now, but didn't have then. All part of the learning process :-)
