FLASHLIGHT After Effects Tutorial - No Plugins Required

In this After Effects tutorial I'll show how I make a realistic flashlight effect. No advanced knowledge of After Effects is needed and no third party plugins is required for this tutorial.

Here is the expression I used for the Ending point of the Beam effect:
point1=effect("Beam")("Starting Point");
point2=effect("Beam")("Ending Point");
distance=length(point1,point2);
thickness=effect("Beam")("Starting Thickness");
thickness*15000/distance;
_______________________________________________________________________
This is the expression for the Wipe angle of the Linear wipe effect:
point1=effect("Beam")("Starting Point")[0]-effect("Beam")("Ending Point")[0];
point2=effect("Beam")("Starting Point")[1]-effect("Beam")("Ending Point")[1];
radiansToDegrees(Math.atan2(point2,point1))+90;

Hey love your video's ❤️🔥

[@ZoffLogic]

This is very nice, simple but effective! Awesome to see someone using the often overseen built-in effects of AE in this way. Well done! Hope to see more of this kind. ;-)

I wish I've had seen this before - that would have saved me a lot of work... :-D

Hey Cap, great video. I was wondering do you ever take on work? I have 3 clips I need something similar done for a feature film I'm working on and I'm trying to at least figure out an approach to making something work. Might be a little more challenging than what you're doing here but I feel like you might be able to figure out how to make these shots work. Thanks for the info!
