Music Video In Need of Post Production Special FX - 15/04/2017 00:52 EDT

Hi! I'm looking to add effects to my Music Video. [login to view URL] THE TREATMENT There's a boy full of dreams who lives in a cold, cruel world which tears apart his dreams due to the fact that he doesn’t ‘fit the look’. The feeling is cold. (color correction coming soon to reflect) The story opens with the boy finding out he didn’t make his auditions and we then walk through a day in his life at school. He’s bullied by the students and even the teacher! All the stress is going to his head and he’s starting to experience “illusions”. PART OF MY GOAL THROUGH VFX IS TO ENHANCE THESE ILLUSIONS. He eventually finds a friend, a little girl- "the light in the darkness" (the surprise reveal is she ends being an illusion too). This little girl represents loving yourself. :) So fx-wise, here's what I’m looking for: 1. Transparent Floating Particles during slow majestic scenes in the vid. 0:40-57 and 2:05-2:21 Professional and not overkill. Reference: [login to view URL] (but more transparent and natural this time) ^ Since I'd like to save money, I don't see a need to rotoscope too much on this part. Keep in mind I'm a good editor. So as long as the particles are clean , I can give a good cut. 2. Seeking: 2017 EXPLOSION EFFECTS during breakdown. 2:26-3:00 I’m currently having the dancer keyed to give a green screen background. (The current effects seen in the rough probably need to be replaced. They're just there for "feeling”. However I’m open to opinion, if you believe it’s cool - I can give you the after effects file to adjust the color palette and that way we can save time and budget. But I definitely want to infuse new explosions to help enhance what I’m aiming to create. Here's the direction I'm looking to head towards: Examples: [login to view URL] [login to view URL] Only other “material” explosion type I can think of is PAINT raining down. 3. The little girl should have a slight glow OR a brighter pulsating one. But nothing cheesy. :) *Looking to represent her as the force that Lights up the cold World the boy lives in. 0:31-39 4. Need to turn bathtub into a "magical bathtub" which transports the main character into the “color explosion world” where he dances. 2:06-2:24 **The entire "no music" segment is the weakest part, so making sure the bath tub area looks strong is important. I cropped it a lot to hide the red paint on tub. The blue water looks dumb too haha .. It was an 'arts and crafts' project gone wrong. 3D modeling would be a considerable option since there wouldn't be a lot of frames. Making the tub gradually start to bubble and "come alive" was idea so far, unless you have? The particle fx shown in this special fx vid look CHEESY :( [login to view URL] I think he was going for more layers though and it’s wasn’t complete. These bubbles could be bigger and they could have hues that are the same colors that “explosions” following. Maybe even see flashbacks inside a big bubble- i.e.: when the children dancing. (0:50-0:057) BUBBLE NOSTALGIA? 5. “Demon Eyes” on few frames of the shot with the 2 masked boys. (See picture for reference) Please let me know how soon you can accomplish. If you know this will take longer than a few weeks, please let me know what you’d prefer to work on so I can divide the work up to another freelancer as well. Thank you.
