Svee's proton stream V.2

After effects again. I helped out a fellow Ghostbuster with his home movie. This time round i used wiggler on the end point of the stream and various distortion methods for the stream animation. I know a lot of people use “wave” for the stream but i wanted something much more random. I think its faaaar better than the first one i did and this one took me about 8 hours in total.

I even managed to get old Slimer in there too :slight_smile:

That looked awesome man. Did you do this in After Effects with some 3D camera work?

Cheers. It was After effects yeah but all done in 2D. I just made the stream wider as it got closer to the camera.

This actually is one of the best I’ve seen so far! Nice job with the foreshortening.

Cheers :wink:

Nice one! I like this almost better than the wave!

Only thing I could say is re-shoot with the same effect and sound effects but react as if your actually shooting a particle thrower…remember they always kick you fire them. other than that, as I said before, very nice!

That looked great, probably one of the better fan made proton streams I’ve seen

Hi, Amazing work there.

Do you have Tutorial for this as I’ve just reinstalled After Effects CS4 after getting really annoyed with it last time!.

I wasn’t able to ever work out how the Proton Stream was ever made and/or added to video footage?.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

That’s my after effects tutorial. It uses “the wave” that is being mentioned in this thread.

Not bad! 8 hours is a long time. Now you can do it in 10 min. http://www.authorityfx.com/ghostbusters-proton-stream-tutorial/
