“Sparkling Particles” video tutorial coming soon

Sparkling Particles Video Tutorial
Available soon….

Although this type of animation have been been done in After Effects by using Trapcode Particular, I thought it would be nice to show you another way to achieve this.

You can create the same thing by using Apple Motion particle system and a little bit of innovative thinking ; (particles, camera moves, dazzle)

This animation is not difficult to create. What is important in this animation is to prepare a small particle with some dazzle effects. After this is done you must bake the movie and import it back into new PAL or NTSC project where you need to use particle system and some camera moves to produce this effect.

Please bear in mind that it was quite difficult to compress this file as it contains a lot of small objects. The quality of the movie is not what I wanted but it ticks all the boxes.

Let me know what do you think about Sparkling Particles animation….

    That many particles would probably make my computer explode.

    The particles are small .mov files. You will find that it works just fine.
