Highlander Turning Tide Quickening Effect Reel

This is the very first test of our blend of physical and digital effect to create the Quickening for our Highlander Fanfilm.
This is meant as a "first look" and not at all final!

how do u do the lightning?

It is done with FXhome EffectsLab Pro, which is a very reasonable priced alternative to AfterEffects. Quick to learn, too!

Great stuff. Shaky titles at the end... I suspect you've slowed layered imagery too much. Better just to copy it over and over again and lay it side by side rather than slow it down.

Glad you like it! The shaky titles are caused by multiple copying. These are the finished titles from the first teaser. Since I lost the source data and I was too lazy to do it all again (which we did for the last teaser) I just copied it - therefore I got shakes by multiple coding. We have way better programs now (e.g. Sony Vegas), so something like this will most likely not happen again .

Great.

Das sieht einfach Spitze aus!

This was just a test, we have made a lot of progress since. Have a look at the newer Reels, there's a lighting in the title, that look far better!

The titles are good, I think, but the lightnings are not realistic enough, I think.

[XofHope]

Looks great! When do we get to see more?

[LomaBeen]

Very nice, escpeccially for a first try! I am really curious about more!

Zugegeben, sieht nicht übel aus. Bin mal auf die Effekte im fertigen Film gespannt...
