Fire Huh?

If I were going to do it I would try to shoot some real fire against a black background and composite it onto the subject. Either that or use some of motions particle effects tools...but they sometimes tend to look cheesy. Either way, good luck and i hope it works out.

Ideally if you can do a mix of real fire (like footage from Artbeats, and some particle Effects, you'll get the best look.

For particles, look into the plug in particular, or the app called ParticleIllusion. Both can produce decent fire, but neither makes perfectly realistic stuff.
