FLAMING DELUGE CLIPS

Hey Yall,

This one has been in the works for a WHILE. Making so so many different versions until I found THE JUICE. And out of the 50+ different clips I made, these are the most polished 20. It took a while because I wanted to make fluidity a priority and so many drafts just felt too forced.

To make this effect was a simple combo of Noises with feedback. Whenever I watched real fire, I always felt that it was a release and decrease of energy and I knew that I could figure out that feeling with what I know best. This was the emphasis in this pack. Far less focus on generators to decide the use of space and more about the wildness vs control of the flames.

I made sure to use noise generators with 16-bit values so that I could use both positive and negative numbers as drivers for the displacement. All this means in a 2d video space is the ability for Feedback to go left & right and up and down. I took at least 2 Noises (and in later clips used some masks) in different blending modes to create variety.

This fed into the common chain I made for all the clips where I would quickly change the parameters that I felt most defined the fire effect. The feedback I got would be using all 3 color channels so I was getting a nice rainbow combo of colors.

Also idk why this image is massive lol.

Then I used some mixing of channel selections to keep the organic feel of colors being generated and Voila. The last thing I wanted to do was use a blanket lookup table (COLORIZER IN RESOLUME) to recolor everything. I was seeing hints of green appear naturally by mixing in the edges of the flames and I loved it too much.

I made sure to choose the clips with best variety. Some are full blast, and some are minimalistic. Some are slow moving oceans, and some are fast strobing and abrasive.

All clips are 8 seconds long at 60fps with alpha.
