Flash in the sky

Post by Genete »

Just reproduce here a cool tip form slowtiger:
slowtiger wrote:- Flash in the sky: after the jump he walks on grass (this works nicely), and the sky flashes. I think these flashes should fade out a little bit longer because they are far away, in opposite to the "strobe light" flashes you later use. (Hold maximum flash brightness for nearly an eighth, then fade out for a quarter note ... ah, it's so easy to explain to a musician!)

The strobe light flashes could be more powerful. The cookbook recipe for flashes is something like this:
1 frame totally white
1 frame black
1 frame inverted picture
1 frame normal picture
1 frame totally white
and normal from that on (or having something burnt to ashes ...). Experiment with the sequence to get the most effective one. Maybe two totally white frames are too much if you have a flash every beat. Maybe it's better not to use inverted (white) lines (see below), but have black lines (or grey ones) and totally faded colours instead. In any case, I see you make pretty good use of the layer blend modes.
