This test was relatively simple, but it makes a really cool effect. I used more footage from Video Copilot, but this was intended to be used to make muzzle flashes and bullet shells tests, but I put a different spin on it. I first tracked the motion of the camera, so that the lightning would seem more real. Then I added in the "Lightning - Horizontal" effect from After Effects, and then rotoscoped the end of the gun to match the origin of the lightning, almost every frame (tedious). Then instead of doing that over, I parented the origin data points to the position X/Y of the Optical flare. I key-framed the brightness when the gun starts and stops, and color corrected it all in the end.
Made with Adobe, Apple and Video Copilot.
