Thoughts, comments, or concerns aren’t only allowed but encouraged.I love it! Your timing on the hit effect is so flippin’ crisp, and the CG work is SUBERB!
This is teeny-tiny niggle from an animator who has composited WAY too many blast effects - you might wanna adjust the opacity/blending mode of the smoke effect that is sitting over the sparkler to better match the wide shot. I used to composite blasts the way you’ve got it now, but after doing a million of them, I switched the way I layered/masked them and the results were much better.
You don’t need to change what you’ve got, I’m the only one on Planet Earth who will notice, lol! But if you composited the effect in AE, I’d be happy to take a quick look at it. Bottom line, this is amazing work!!!
In what way? It’s not on any blending mode. The element itself has a transparent background, changing it to screen or lowering the opacity will just reveal what’s behind it. I did this composite in Resolve’s Fusion.
