[@mrKWJones]

I could listen to his beautiful voice all day long

[@Fisherkid07]

You guys are doing some amazing stuff. I've always wanted to do stuff with VFX, but I'm trash (I'm only 16 tho..) and it's really cool that a lot of the harder stuff to make like CGI ground breaking, is already done for me.

[@SimonD.PDXBass]

One thing I found to look super cool was to not do the small "pre flash", but instead to a small "post flash". I noticed that's what they did in John Wick, and to me it looks a little more natural than the pre flash.

[@ActionVFXofficial]

That's a good technique! Thanks for sharing!

[@SimonD.PDXBass]

@@ActionVFXofficial Yeah thanks for the awesome tutorial! It's kinda taken some of the confusion out of After Effects for me so I'm having a ton of fun making stuff with it

[@rafisen2241]

Thank you - this was actually really well done - I'm not going to use any of the techniques specifically for any upcoming projects but the techniques you've shown I'll remember forever - and - I'm looking forward to some of the new footage you guys are releasing :)

[@rafisen2241]

Guys what is important ALWAYS is lighting, his face is in shade, so basically you the fire would add a flash to his dark side, which you have not added..... you sell VFX assets but you don't really know well how to integrate them.... hum....
