Burning Streets - Moviestorm Special Effects

Movies are all about atmosphere.  Get that right, and you’ve got your audience hooked. Even the most dramatic of scenes can fall flat in a boring environment. But adding visual interest to the scene can completely change it.  Making a moving image is about more than just moving the camera around a static set.  The flicker of fire, the swirl of smoke, the hiss of steam - all these touch the senses and bring your movie to life.

This short sequence uses the static props from the forthcoming Special Effects pack (plus costumes from the two Wardrobe packs).  These include:

- Barrels, with and without fires inside
- Fires and bonfires
- Vents and outlet pipes
- Toxic goo

You’ll see that these can all be customised: you can set up what sort of flames they have, and how much smoke they emit - look at the pipes on the wall, for example.

All the lighting in the scene comes from the fires.  There’s no ambient or directional light, and no light sources on set.  As a result, everything’s in motion, even when nothing’s happening.

This is completely made in Moviestorm.  There’s no third party software, no mods, no editing, no post-processing.  Just Moviestorm and nothing else - and you’ll be able to get your hands on all this goodness very, very soon! 

There’s much more in the Special Effects pack - keep checking back to see what else we have in store for you!
