Post 25: Working on the Fire



  This is one of the key sequences of the show, and I have been thinking of the best way to achieve the effect: build a model and burn it, video instances of fire and combine them in After Effects, create virtual fire in software, or somehow animate the still images to give the illusion of burning fire?
  Software fire is not realistic, real fire is dangerous and difficult to control and video. I chose to find as many pictures of fire as possible and "animate" them. I found a great source for sequences of images of different fires at Mega-Tex Studios. Using these and others combined and blended, I created several Test Fire Animations.
