quick test - updated
Here’s the newest version…still not perfect, but I at least got a smokey look to the light.
New version:
Older version:
After seeing the Metal Gear Solid ads that Logan did, I was tired not knowing how how one would go about creating something like that. The ending really impressed me so I thought I’d use it as inspiration to create something that was conceptually the same, but not really a duplicate. I just wanted to figure out how to get light passing through a smoky area and make it look really rich rather than something that was done with plug-ins straight out of the box.
It’s a little clunky, but it only took about an hour…so it could be polished up a bit if it were for something real. In case you were wondering to get this look I used standard AE effects along with Particular and Shine.
