I've done effects like this before, but I wanted to test this new stock footage.
i'd say the first gunshots were somewhat overkill, usually for gunshots i just go into paint and use a few dabs of white for a flash
but real nice editing wise

I try to do my effects Freddie Wong style!
The animation itself was pretty good, but the effects (at least the ones from the side) seemed a little bit weird. Some better keying would really help. Also, try to make the body bend backwards a little bit ehen shooting, for a more realistic look. A flashlight would also make the flash look brighter, and more realistic. By the way, I loved the front shot! It was made very well!
The side shots were a little odd looking as it has been stated, however, the front on shots looked great! What I would suggest to improve the overall look of gunshots is to go in and up the brightness on the frames to create a slight flash. If you want to get really specific try going in and adding brightness and contrast increases on certain points where a flash should appear in real life (the head, body, surrounding close areas, etc). Try watching Freddiew's tutorial on muzzle flares and he demonstrates this well. Keep up the nice work!
I knew I'd forgotten something! I've seen that tutorial a million times before and I have no idea how I forgot to add a flash!
Not bad. I realy like it, maybe you can add some smoke. Then I would be look better. Action Essentials 2 effect pack is awesome. Uyah yeah!

Wait, Freddiew has a tutorial? Cool!

I added smoke for the first ones, but not the second ones. Action Essentials 2 is too expensive for me.
