How can i make these amazing lights bleeding into 3d layers please?

hi there,
i'm working on a project based on the conversion of handdrawn comics into 3d layers and animation.
now i have seen this amazing video by daniel kanemoto

and i'm particularly impressed by his use of light and how it bleeds into the 3d layers. i've played around a lot now using normal lights, lux, etc. but can't get there at all.
any suggestions?
thanks a lot,
david

Hi mate,

Always loved that Walking Dead Video... After Effects at it's best.

I would look at using Light Wrapping which is generally used to comp in green screen elements but should work for this as well.

Tutorial below.

Also try using the Light Rays effects probably as an adjustment layer over the top of all of the layers you would like to cast light on.

Good Luck.
