Force Lightning VFX test

A simple experiment utilizing multiple plugins and software in an attempt to capture the look and feel of the force lightning used by Emperor Palpatine in The Revenge of the Sith.

Lightning was generated in Fxhomes Visionlab which was then rendered out and imported into after effects for final touches such as motion blur and glow.

Please feel free to share advice or suggestions.

Just realized that i am missing sound for the lightning.

@SteliosExtreme2 yea, I forgot to add some cool sounds. It would have made the vid a lot cooler.
