Building Fire

It's been a cold week here in Ithaca, reaching as low as -30 last weekend. Therefore, I decided to heat it up this week by posting a tutorial on how to build fire in After Effects.

So my name project involves an onion volcano so one of the things I had to do was build a fire. While I was expecting to need some stock footage or some fancy plugin, I found a way just to build it with a particle system. Here is the tutorial I found. The guy is austrian, his english isn't great, and its pretty long, but it gets the point across. I found it to be very helpful. Check it out.
