for the shots where we see the car through normal vision i wanted to try my hand at some effects animation. I wasnt overly happy with the effects i had already done and thought this would be something worth exploring. I first looked up real footage of elements i wanted to put in, such as a jet engine afterburn and dust being kicked up, however i was quite unsure how to do either of them, especially the dust cloud, so i decided to look up others frame by frame animated effects to try gain some understanding.
i began work on the afterburn as the shape was relatively consistent and changed colour so i decided to work on that. First i made notes on the way colours come in in the source video, i then produce assets in photoshop, two frames for each element so that i could make it flicker.
After all assets were produced i animated them change opacity while flickering over each other, i applied a lateral wiggle, and then a glow effect, and all in all i am incredibly happy with the way it looks, however it took such a long time for such a small part of the shot that i am unsure how much more i will be able to get done. I will certainly work more on effects animation after submission, but i doubt i will have time to do much more now.
