VFX Hand on Fire

by gyaninaakila on 22 May 2023

Hi, this is my first project on working with VFX. In this project, I learned how to create the effect of fire on a hand using After effects from start to finish along with learning how to track a footage, compositing, track matte and color correction.

So first, I added the original footage into After Effects and tracked the movement of the hand using null object

The fire footage is then added on top of the hand and linked to the null object to follow the hand's movement.

 I also adjusted the shape of the fire to the hand using the liquify tool and added a glow effect to the fire

Once the fire is added, I duplicated the original footage and masked the palm of the hand.

 I changed the blending mode of the duplicated footage to 'add' to make a glow effect to the palm of the hands

The Hand on Fire VFX is done, but the footage looks too bright

So lastly, I use 'Brightness & Contrast' and 'Curves' to color correct my footage to make the fire pop out more.

Below is the link of the tutorial I followed :

And the link to the fire footage asset :

Thank You!
