Proton Stream Test 2

Description

What is this of? This is a screenshot of a special effects project I had to do for college during the summer semester. Me using my *not movie accurate, lol* proton pack with my first after effects created movie ready proton stream blue screened in front of the NYFD Hook and Ladder #8 firehouse in New York used in the movies. The person who took this photo is Phillip Ritz and he appears to be an awesome photographer, by the way! The full image is breathtaking, so I suggest you follow the link that I'm giving here. Credit where credit is due, right? So this is where I got the photo: [link]

The proton stream was created by me after studying an example that :icondevilmanozzy: created and gave to me, so if you like don't forget to thank him too. It's not perfect but is easily better than some fan made streams I've seen out there. At one point I thought about cheaply using the stream he gave me, but it proved difficult to import it into different projects, but because mine came out so well I'm glad I didn't do it the lazy way.

And yes, this stream was created in After Effects and moved and stuff. The moving needs work, as does the light flare at the end of the gun tip. Also, I can't seem to get the blue completely out from around myself in this video. Or other blue screen video I've done... I'm doing something wrong in the filming process, maybe. Bad lighting? The blue seems to bounce back and color my actors.


CREDITS FOR THIS IMAGE:
I did most the work, but these people either knowingly or unknowingly helped:
1. :icondevilmanozzy: taught me how to make the proton stream
2. Phillip Ritz [link] had the awesome firehouse image I used on his flickr photo gallery
