Hey all! For my new movie, one of the scenes involves a building crashing down, I want to make a sort of dust effect, like in Cloverfiled or 9/11 when the towers fell down, I want to use talcum powder but I'm not sure.
Can you help?
If you have a software thay can composite and Action Essentials 2 or possibly footage from detonation films you can create the desired effect
Here is what I would do.
-First, animate normally, and export the video.
-Then, in your editing software, layer some stock footage in front of it (action essentials or www.detonationfilms.com) and key away the background colour.
-Then place it where you want it. This can be done in Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere or After Effects.
The reason you should not use powder is that it will move quickly and end up looking dumb, and it will be jumpy and choppy.
Well, actually, you won't see it really, in the background and then the guys in it hide in a building and the place goes all dark and then they go out and you just see dust everywhere
Hmmm... you could use a 3d program like blender (if you're proficient with that kind of thing) and do it all digital... food for thought.
