Topic: Visual effects needed...mist, fog, smoke...

Hey everyone! I need some mist/fog visuals for my TOY entry. Anybody have links or suggestions?

use iMovie HD 6, which works if you want the fog to go over the entire screen, like this. If you don't have a mac I could do it for you if you want mini/smile

That would be great! Could you do it where I can put the visual over a video? Can you pre-key it for me?

I can create a foggy effect inside of After Effects.
There are other ways, like Video Copilot's Action Essentials 2.
Most of the fog in that package moves a little fast, but simply slowing it down with a Time stretch would work.

Yea...the thing is, Action Essentials costs money!

Yes, the software lets you put a fog layer over any video or picture clip. Rain is optional. I'm not sure if I could pre-key it, because the only way I can think of is putting the fog over a green (or blue, etc.) background and then green-screening it, but that may not work... I could just put your raw footage through this to add the filter and then email it to you? mini/confused

Sure! You could put the effects on a green background so I can key them out myself! Could you give me some smoke, rain and mist/fog footage?  Ok? Thanks for your help!;) mini/wink

Well I'm not sure if that would work but I would be willing to try it and send you the stock footage... about how long do you need it to be? and also you can set controls such as speed, direction, and stuff so what would you like those to be?...

Probably about 15-25 seconds.
