Thanks man!
Loved watching this tutorial. Thanks for the tip with the track-matte. Never would have thought of that.
@Zark: What tip do you mean?
@Sierk By duplicated the fireball itself, and use on of the fireballs as a track matte for the fire glow you make from another duplicated (but enlarged and super blurred) fireball so that it doesn’t get over blown when you try to add some light.
*by duplicating, lol
Greate tutorial!!! your video quality has a very high definition! what cameras do you use?
Great tutorial, really cool effect.
ok so i reli like ur work, its pretty amazing and reli simple to put together, are u gonna be doing anything with water anytime soon? like a water stream or a water jet or so?
and! i hope u can consider this idea … i once saw andrew kramer use trapcode particular to generate a missile moving thru air gathering smoke behind it, i was wondering why u didnt use that idea to like get a more 3d feel for the effect using the video layer of fire and making it look like a little flame thats a part of a bigger fire. i hope u get wat im trying to say but all in all good work and great tips.
Haha, actually, I sought advice from that very tutorial for the part where the girl flies out of the sky and lands on the ground.
Where did you get the sound effects for this? This tut is soooo awesome btw!
thats great man. its very awsome. going to use it in a small video of mine, thnks =)
thanks its helps me a lot thanku thanku………………
That is absolutely amazing! Completely realistic, wonderful lighting and timing. Completely perfect; well done!
Wow very nice = ))!!!
Hey can you explain to me how you got your fireballs to overlap at 10:30? like what shotcut key are you using to duplicate it? would that be my problem to it? because on mine when i rotate it the first one just overlaps the one behind it completely so its the same as only having one effect and it sucks): can you please e-mail me if you know why i cant see the one behind it and how i can fix it at nalayra@hotmail.com please?
Very nice Tuto Fireball
