Topic: Ghost Rider test

It's short, and I think it's ok, but I'm not sure. It's quite limited by the stock footage I have too; my main concern now is whether it looks 'there'.

Clicky

Feedback would be much appreciated. He's only appearing for like 5 seconds at the end of The Defenders but I want to make sure it looks decent, especially since there are tons of Ghost Rider brickfilms where the flames look awful.

It works. Only thing is fast, long movements won't work well as the flames don't react to the movement. I am guessing he'll be mostly stationary though, so I wouldn't worry about that in this video,

Re: Ghost Rider test

He will (thank Horus). He's only in it for a small gag, and has a little bit of dialogue, but not fast movements.

If I use him for anything else in the future, I may sit down and try to learn how to use AE or Hitfilm's particle engines properly and see what I can come up with using either of those. Like you say, for faster movements I'd need the flame tor eact, and stock footage doesn't.

I don't know where from, but I have heard that if the speed of the flame is slowed down, it'll look larger. Right now from I see, the flame looks pretty small.
I've never used stock footage before so I can't help much on that but it's just a fun fact that I've heard of and sharing it could be helpful.
Whatever I just said may not be 100% true because I don't have any evidence, but just try it out.
Good luck on your project.

my dad doesn't want me to brickfilm on because it's his computer, but he's not home right now at the moment.
