That looked very nice, did you make the lighting effect on the face and all or was that just a strobe light, etc. Where you the person who made the Nightcrawler from X2 effect as well?

thas was pretty cool, curious how you did it also

The program I used was Adobe After Effects 6.5. The lighting effect was a small shop light that I flicked on off rapidly to simulate the lightning effect. The lightning itself was created in After effects using the "advanced lightning" under effects--->Render and ajusting the glow and core colors. Also there looks like a particle cloud or hazy effect that appears to fluctuate around the hands which was created in Adobe Photoshop using the clouds filter and then animating them in After effects. The sound effects were ripped directly from the Fantastic Four DVD. The classical music score was taken from the soundtrack as well. Song title is "Bye Bye Ned." I may do a video tutorial as well. As for the nightcrawler effect, that was done by Fig Chrystie over at the Jedi Council Fan forums. Thank you for the comments guys.

i dont know which is worse your acting or the effect... the practical lighting is smart thinking those tricks like that always make something interact with the scene way better. which is a good thing to get into the habbit of

aaronv2, do you enjoy being stupidly sarcastic without being constructive or is it just a chor for you? every post from you I have read tonight was OTT on the critisism, without being constructive. Grow Up. Wildstorm, liked the effect and like the work iv seen from you, keep it up!

Wow!!! I didn't know that if you post special effects test on here that it has to be quality like the stuff that ILM does or WETA!!! I wasn't going for an academy award in special effects or acting either!! ITS CALLED A SPECIAL EFFECTS TEST. A PREVIEWLIZATION!! NOT A HOLLYWOOD SHORT. So like were are some of your video clips??

I thought it looked good, but the smoke in the beginning looked fake but as it went on it looked more real. I don't know why, maybe it was the direction of it, like it sucks inward then changes outward. But towards the end in the closeup you barely notice the direction change.

I was trying to make the smoke fluctuate. What I should have done was kept the smoke going inward.

I only did the 2 fingers because they were the most visible in the shot. Actually I thought just having 2 lightnings would be enough. I didn't want to over do it.
