hello everyone
i'm anthony burns and this is a veneer berms and believe it or not this is
evident was wearing a different shirts and a half
hide considered
doing one take with facial hair and one without
but
another alternative is to actually get a real roommate and too
moving right along
today from initial you how to make
muzzle flashes
which uh... carlos fun things that come out of a friend of guns and really what
you know that
going down
as you can see higher ops for kind of a cartoonish aliya large muzzle flash
coming out of mine uh...
matra compensate for anything but uh...
generally i go with the comic book ideas at the size of the gun dictates the size
of the explosion coming out of the and proportionately the amount of damage it
does other humans
i suppose this is kind of uh... a video game problem as well
since most of my actual gun experience comes from watching g_i_ joe i've very
little respect for fires
i'm just joking i hear
actually fine
hunting and all that stuff the pretty good and should you handle real firearms
i've recommends that you definitely give them yet the deference they deserve
because they will blow your face off in this case everything sorry for this is
just to tolerate and this is just a tutorial so
let's get into it
there are a few elements that we're going to working with uh...
these here are from the action essentials pack by video co-pilot
fantastic resource i recommend anyone forcing action movies invest in this it
will save you a lot of time and money
or you can make your own five
takings of pictures at the gun range or fight googling
muzzle flares
and flashing
send whatever you call these things
as if they are
the point of the story is this is actually uh...
made up of three different elements
so
it's it's one head-on and and a couple of other ones
you know it will soon we get into it so let's uh...
the i've done some pretty crazy crap in the swarm solicited your file
new new project
i don't see any weird about the way i see new did you
so first in order to his import file
and alleged imports
occur that m
uh... the roomate is in fact clone trek that uh... i put through because i think
i'm incredibly clever i'm not really as clever as i think i a m sundays but
you-know-what masson important so let's just go ahead to a spot in which uh...
we know
avenida muzzle flash for
uh... for alluring shooting at camera soon
morale the most effective really
the efforts for summer
uh... when you're looking at
to see when you should put the muzzle flash in
you want to look for the moment before it pushes back
uh... light
comes out as soon as the force is applied to the gun so
delay travels incredibly fast sprinter fastest thing i know
so that comes up first and then the require happens or you know the pentagon
what your frame rate is the stuff that might be good for you but uh...
just so you know your look for that fast kickback and then
have adair so
letter said to muzzle flashes the values are actually made up of multiple
elements so let's go ahead and bring those in we've got a bunch of muzzle
flashes here and if we have a look at them conceive
from the side
slightly different from the side
and one head on
if you don't like this head on one that's fine you can always is something
else but really is just an example to figure out if what i do is i use style
three d
commandos system is no object to really
tie everything together so except one macomb il object eighty-three house step
to bring it all of your footage here
concord
you know if the sleight of line them up
with uh...
start here for your play head is for you want the first to be a
uh... so if we play had somewhere you hit the uh... open
square brackets sheet metal line up the layers start time with that time
and at this point um... and solo
these layers
and companies three-d_ that's good
now the next thing to do is fine but one
that we've gotten to use
so we want at first to do the head on
now you can kind of see where most of the explosion emanates from
your trip was that rate for the apex of this
is that is going to be a new anchor point
we take this and we parents it to that no object boom
uh... another thing to do this time by easy's rulers here to kind of defined
for myself
square remember sometimes i forget
where i want the center of things to beat
and it's right there
so again has to make sure
missus lined up
centrally enough
now when i look visually like this in the century account of a lopsided proof
on the site map but
this is a photo
more video rather of of a real shot going off style
that's really how does this not perchance metrical you know status
forever that if anybody says made it to committed to
useful
here you can come see right where the uh...
is a point
actually is
and uh... we actually want this to be perpendicular to the flat one so
take this inordinate mother
so you can see
rotated
you know this
newsroom eighty
rerouted over
two seventy like that and now when we parents
with parent
hire new friend here
sideways one two minutes
going to be attached
store rotated
we have this going on
map fancy
that's just
passes darling
does bring in our last element
and uh...
beforehand you could do thursday
uh... one of the other ones if you want
i find that this is gives us a little bit more variety and sense and again
we're just going to rotate this
ninety degrees
and then we parents
to that no logic
so now we move the knowledge of two rounds
you know as we so desire
you get this kind of effect going on
never wondering you know evan what is the point of having the strange flaming
christmas tree
i don't even know what we're going to do with that well
you know for one we take it all of these retains the blending modes holding those
ad
so they'll become
one with a large thing
there's a certain make more sense now
going to come together
see what we're doing
save ourselves an aggravation later
cell
buses go ahead and uh... reset that position there
take the so awful all these
now we don't want to effect any of those right now so let's lock 'em down
ammo only move no object
remove it over here in fact society a look at those was only look at the no
luck
and if we position it's so that this is great comic into the gun
threadbare namely you rotate
rotate this thing around
so that it kinda looks like it lines up
with what
the plane of that gun might be
but if you take a piece of cardboard raid on the front of it
now his came off as a square
slips that i come off into the square
chocolate get to know
disposition that radio front make a little bit free stuart
you know what
i think it's pretty good you want to scale the stuff
plus great because now
all of the scaling properties are based on that initial point
quarrel
floor for a better using relax
look at that that it's just
as hot stuff
for that
ferrets
feeling good
so so far so good uh... another thing to consider is boring it up a little bit
uh... using would be
perhaps testable ur
still ahead apply for one of them
and would not the right one really noticed
al is a little bit blurry
four to five
copy that effect
pasted to the others
uh... nothing that helps a set of keys eight colo so
blue glow in there
and what you wanted to is actually put the glorious quite high
uh... this is a kennedy p stuff so if it doesn't
two-fifty stated that
uh... above the intensity a little bit even
delia one point
pointy or something
now what that's doing news really just causing
area around the globe no dissent
like that
and cow on it
to just be affecting it so much that it's a good spot
play is a light source and see
this copy that glow in the fight to the other two
haiti
things looking better already
now ten all the while if you want to make a little tweaks to it that's fine
you know maybe this isn't quite the angle you like to know
uh... unlike the
when half
you know if you find all these cuz you know aberration just dealing with a look
at it any more as governor misconduct as leader
neptune sold
uh...
i prefer to use things as a unit industry the way for a lot of reasons
one
for the next thing we just take all of these duplicate them
you know moving along in the timeline a little bit
and then just uh... reposition them
as needed
and uh...
going out one
control point to worry about
and you can create many variations of the really quickly
uh...
spiro state in the summer
tomorrow summit something totally new totally different
anything kinda make point off in a slightly different direction you know
it's a little bit little bit of difference that's completely wrong
pyrimidine
so you can see that the legal palam
and then boheme
now it also creates quick abundance of smoke when you start using multiple
almonds to
so that's definitely some victims
and usually goes by so fast that florida knows how much smoke being generated
style
can be important to try to put more over there
if you can help it
and uh...
yet so that's about it for doing the actual muzzle flare-up part
now
i don't think it's important to put in is
you want to have was called reactive lighting
now reactive lighting can be done and one more popular ways to do it
is to either duplicate your original source layer
put above everything
and switch its move to had
who was hot stuff okay
now you don't want to be adding to all of scene
just looking to see if this is where the lights coming from
where's again hit
you know where will it
painted flight
and emily's campaign at along the frontier actor
especially along these easily areas here
i think she did because i've put a light actually in front of me uh... it is
actually over here somewhere
gyno alleges that the punch up the lady reads the very existence of the project
the shadows that are existing
cell
that's probably do it
south generally
you know you're gonna need to do a couple of things of this
to make it look not crazy
one is going to be taking it to pass me down a little bit
marijuana
news that mask
feather that it's substantially
in fact you can take its uh...
opacity red devil eight twenty three fifteen
means
going to last for a couple of friends
uh... two or three friends will do
and during those frames you would like it so passively to go from its starting
high to absolutely nothing
netzero similar cut comes on and fades
had paid little attention boom
let's do it with the brightness record of the shadows and were intensifying the
late here the shadows as well to be made greater wealth
breyer
as a light source become brighter the shadows become darker by increasing the
contrast let's make a new suggestion
now it's from that up so that this is one of this
we're dealing with freemen command i'm holding out all or option
and i'm hitting
the two square brackets two
to find new in have points from the latter is called printing cell
i have burned through that pretty fast a lot
solicit the just the way down here and we will be just nothing there to work
fontaine greatness and contracts
now you can come play with this depending on what years senior colors
like but i know that for me need twenty five percent more contrast and
at minus five of darkness
and uh... now i feel like in the dark side
w
now again you want a mask at the area
choose the area where the darkness is going to be happening c
prior determined he and here's
you know an area
cuts were a little overlapping too much of the light areas either because
quite frankly when you're applying the contrast to the military come breakers
well
now see how that's looking
sounds pretty good
m news again with this masculine one feather their quite a lot
hundreds to keep you safe
and still quite a quick definition house would without
but sixty-five
i think that'll do it nothing to do is too tight it's opacity into the opacity
of the layer above it so i use the pic with an expression say as this layers of
past the changes so change is this one
accepts you know
not quite the same degree won't fly by five i think we're a bit worried
when
and there you have a
and i think that should just to go do it for you uh...
you've got
would reflect the lighting but it was going on uh... if you're on a cover-up
stuff
uh...
by covered up i mean
when you put a muzzle flashes involve the looked like they belong in the
original uh... source footage don't worry about color correcting her
anything until after you've done the muscle flavors do you want these things
to look as if they belonged
in the thing you shot originally
and then you can go through and you can use
you know curves adjustments and stuff to try to
get the colors as you like them to do all that fun stuff
and you know alias
could
defense special
but uh...
no or time in the matrix that's what we're looking
syria minorities and so disorders that you want
muzzle flares are flashes whatever you call them
to be
now looking like they belong in the scene
and uh... that knows what kind of funny but now today haiti's comes out anyhoo
that's about it
that's how to make
model flashes quick and dirty the other thing that really has a lot of to your
visuals is the beginning to sound of uh...
good sound of uh... gunfire and making sure it's reverberation is similar to
that of the room
so this is a small room sealed here
and tried to get it kinda like is ringing off the walls a little bit
because six in this room are actually quite horrible so trying to replicate
that was a bit of a challenge and a little bit terrible an audio called net
so probably in south quite right as i said the sound oven m_-one you know that
gun that won the war for those of you who really love you've done trivia black
you know healing couple of those together and suddenly it could be
machine-gunned five
uh... don't get too hung up on finding the right cardio to go with the
breakdown of have that kind of accuracy try to focus more on making uh...
visual what we call them personally to which is continuity within the narrative
so
here
we have a large flash coming out of what is a cartoonist for the large gun and
uh... sort of thing that's improbable but
in the scene photo shooting an alien in the face with this
now
really pretty comfortable with that
i'm sure in the future maybe they will be put in orange on guns but yeah agus
that's about it
i would love to see with you guys come up with the work you guys have any other
tips and tricks that you guys used to make uh... muzzle flashes work best for
you uh...
this is how i do it this is by no means the only way to do it you could instead
of making things three-d_ imposition and you could use the scale of the store to
do it
i really do it this way because by find it easier to work in three d position
things and when you have mobile angles especially angles that part necessarily
flat on florida's is fairly perpendicular
perpendicular perpendicular perpendicular from the side or from the
front uh... it can be tricky to come up with that three-quarter of you that you
want and by putting both in their blending together any kind of this a
larger than life affect which i
really life hyper for things to be hyper real than uh... it totally real
enjoyed have fun the making some stuff shooting each other and all that
abdication humans
uh... but uh... yeah at least in movies it was pretty pretty cool
of the day will learn something an election today
and elya i'll see you next time
and editorial wrote added fake having a roommate by having yourself walk around
the kitchen a lot of rose coconut or probably never wanna do it eleven abrams
and i'll see around the internet
