The post In Depth: Fireworks Extravaganza with Fun New Content appeared first on .

]]>

Happy Independence Day, America! Our annual fireworks article was originally published in July 2015, and we’ve updated the article annually with explosive new goodies. This year, we gave it a total overhaul!

Some Breathtaking Fireworks Examples

Let’s be honest… fireworks on video are not usually too interesting. They lack the excitement and sensory stimulation of being there in person. Until smell-o-vision is a reality in your VR headset, you’ll have to light a match and imagine the smell of sulfur smoke.

We’ve found some visually breathtaking examples so when creating your digital fireworks, it’s important to look at examples to match the look for realism.

The Hidden Science of Fireworks

Learn about fireworks and pay close attention to the physics in this video from Veritasium.

Best Fireworks Festival “Nagaoka” Nigata JAPAN

I was in Montreal about 20 years ago and the city hosted a fireworks competition with different countries competing, including Japan. We saw displays from two countries but nothing like this!

GoPro Awards: FPV Drone Inside of a Fireworks Show

A drone is an incredible way to film fireworks, I’d be afraid of my drone being hit! If you have a drone in the US, there is no law against filming fireworks. Watch a video from Ken Heron with tips: Drone INSIDE fireworks Legally and Safely | Plus audio Editing TIPS

Fireworks filmed with a drone

The AlteredStates video below is from 2014 but is still one of the most incredible fireworks videos I’ve ever seen. It was shot with a DJI Phantom 2 with a GoPro Hero 3 silver.

Fireworks Stock Assets

Why start from scratch? Especially if you’re a video editor or 3D artist and don’t do this type of effect, we have some great options to add fireworks to your videos.

Fireworks Tutorials

Fireworks can be created using a particle generator, taking time to get the physics right. To make things easier, multiple plug-ins are specifically for creating fireworks. That said, they don’t always look natural. One of the toughest things about creating fireworks is getting them to look realistic. They need glow, smoke, the proper physics, depth of field, etc. And, adding some sound effects can help your fireworks come to life!

Fireworks with After Effects

Since many of our readers are After Effects users, that’s a great place to start. There have been so many tutorials about creating fireworks over the years.

This tutorial shows how to make a black hole animation in After Effects using the “Black Hole” effect from Creation Effects.

 

The “Black Hole” template allows you to easily and quickly create high-quality black hole animations in Adobe After Effects. Designed with customization in mind, this template includes a 3D black hole, complete with a curved 3D accretion disc, orbiting cloud matter, and warping of the stars behind the black hole. Simply customize their look with the easy-to-use controls, then animate your camera and render. The 360° star background gives you the freedom to create elaborate camera movements, and view the black hole from different angles. Also included are the comps for all seven animations from the main promo video, including an effect that imitates stars and matter being sucked down a 3D funnel.
