WATCH IT IN FULL SCREEN AND HIGH DEFINITION, YOU WON'T SEE THE DETAIL WITH ALL THE WHITEness OF THE PAGE!
Making a flashlight effects in after effects is simple, have a cone light with a greyscale torch projectile somewhere near the start of the cone, make the light pass-through-ness 50%, so it projects the torch patern on the wall.
But making the volume light effects, like actualy seeing the cone and dust in air look, along with seeing the torch float in mid air like in the film (shown in the first couple seconds of vid.)
Well I did it, with help of a neat Trapcode plugin, Lux
PS, I think the real crew of the Silent Hill Film must have used After Effects and Lux in their credits reel, coz I can remake all of the efects they did, in After Effects... coolness,
If it doesn't show in like 15 min from now (upload time) let me know and I'll reupload it
