Ideas - Tutorials for a 'Blowout'
by Butch Golden (Butch101) on Apr 13, 2008 at 4:44:41 pm

Hello

Looking for a way to replicate a blinding sort of video luma blowout as in a car crash where everything goes silvery-white for a flash then recedes to black. (Leaving the end to the imagination of the viewer)

Would CC Radial Fast Blur work on a photo? Or, could Particle Illusion have any tricks inside that would work on a still?

TIA

Excellent question. And I say the only answer that would truly satisfy your vision would be this:

EXPERIMENT!

Thanks for your response. I have dl'd the tutorial but the finished product has to leave for Africa in 3-4 days so (for expediency) I did 'experiment' on my own with fx in Liquid and came pretty close with a combination of Lens Flare, Radial Blur, some back / foreground lighting and some glow effect. It came out ok for just digging in the toolbox.

Yeah, well, if you're looking for the look of increasingly-overexposed footage, I wouldn't discount that tutorial I directed you to. Combined with some glow, it could do the trick....
