Hey, been working on an idea about a kid that finds a jar of magic while digging in his back yard.

This is a test for the magic.

I am very open to comments, ideas and banter.

I like the effect so far but would like to improve. Tell me what you like and don't and if you know....how to improve it.

It's QT7.

Thanks, this forum is the best.

I like it. Looks very cool.

If you are looking to improve it, I would consider something 'practical'. As in combining a real world element to enhance your FX. For example, maybe there is a tiny waterproof LED light that will add a real glow to the water and will enhance your post effect. That way when he grabs the glass his hand will be illuminated by the 'magic'.

Most high end visual fx combine a real world element (lighting etc.) to help sell post processing. Think of something you can put in the glass....

Just a thought.
 
Oynk, Yeah that's a good idea. I tried to have light splash on his fingers when he grabs the glass but it still looks kinda phony. The LED light is a good idea.

le seul, It was just a test but yeah, it was made in the style of an intro lead. (I'd never use it though, I think intro leads are silly).

Twocik, thanks man.

Please more feedback people. I'm stuck here.

I need to make a real-ish effect that is also kind of fun looking. If this was yours, what would you do to spice it up? To make it more fun.

Don't be shy.
