For this clip i wanted to create a short but intense visual, something to grab attention but to also make the user jump. In the end i went for an intense flame burst created by animating fractals in AE. The clip has no fade in or out, so to surprise the user even more so. I then created an overlay of a demon face warp of my wife to add an extra ghostly effect to the composition, this was done by using motion tracking and carful animation of the liquify effect. i finally added a few seconds of black before the “Flame burst”, this was to give a few extra moments of suspense as the user walks past the mirror as this clip is meant to be caught out of the corner of the eye.
