Andrew... another order will be coming.

I'm actually gonna get 3 of them. Can we talk about pricing?

Sorry. Also, I guess I missed John's post about only having the flash for a single frame. In my 24p tests at the range, the flash was indeed only a single frame. Not that he needed me to back him up.

Dammit i wish i would have seen this before i bought the set.....

Rehashing an old thread that seems to be along the lines of what I need.

I need to get some matted smoke to curl out of a shotgun barrel AFTER the shot. I do not care about muzzle flashes and the like. I have Riot Gear which has a lot of curly ink stuff to work with, but it's all kind of too big without masking. It CAN work. But I would like to find something closer.

I looked at the gallery for action movie essentials and did not see what I needed.

Anyone know where I can get some pre-matted SMALL smoke curls like what would come out of a shotgun?

I was working on a short film several years ago that was going for the same effect, we just blew smoke through the barrel, since only the muzzle end was in the shot. It looked great.

Yeah, we set up to do the same. but ran out of time and did not get it on set. Thus doing it now in post.

Pretty sure I got it worked out. Looking good.

Mark, how did the end result look?

I don't want to reveal the whole scene, but here is how the smoke and shotgun came out:

That is the actual section of the shot. the gun is out of focus because it is in the foreground of the shot.

I wound up using the Riot Gear ink stuff. Then I cced it. Then masked it, and finally laid a second layer of the shot over, and masked out all but the gun barrel.
