Burning Man Effect

This new scene covers three requests sent in through email.

First... setting someone on fire! This isn’t as hard a task as you might think; all you need are the right assets. I used the fire assets from videocopilot.net’s Action Essentials 2. Once you get the assets, it's all down hill from there. I would definitely suggest a few tests before you shoot your full scene, just so you know what you are getting into.

For the soul sucking effect, you'll need some knowledge of After Effects. Of course, this isn’t to say that if you don’t, you can’t do it! Remember, everything done on the show can translate in different ways to other programs. The idea is to think outside the box and find ways to get it done.
