hi

firstly i created a lens flare and changed the color to a blue hue then i set the center point to a null object and parented it to the null , then added a shape layer and added a blur to stretch it to the comp size and then i added brightness using color correction (colorama) and a few tiny tweaks to make it your own, id recoment using 32 bits per channel as the glows are fantastic in 32 bits per channel. but 8's ok, :) its is only a test ill post an advanced one up later this week

[iheartgiants]

thanks :) i will post a better tracked one later with more artifacts and go easy this time on the strength ,

@dobunz Interesting how you actually seem somewhat offended by my comment. My comment was not to brag. The equipment I have is expensive, at least it is to me. I was just looking for answers at that time because I had just begone my search. I found what I was looking for.

I thought I was watching an ad at first. :P

Do you happen to know how they do it in hollywood? I have some expensive cameras and lenses and I was assuming it was done maybe with a special lens filter or something. I'm still searching for answers. Any idea? This was a good video btw.

Great video keep up the good work.

I've actually come to the conclusion that it's impossible to view comments on youtube without coming across people who feel the need to offend other people.. it's really sad that you both feel that way. There's a lot of proud people out there.

That aside, cool effect. When you say 'created a lens flare', could you break that down for me? That'd be awesome, cheers
