FIRE HANDS VFX - How to Create Fire with your Hands in After Effects

- Learn how to create fire with your hands in this exciting new After Effects tutorial!
If you want to follow along with this tutorial, you can download the footage and the background image here:
www.surfacedstudio.com/tutori...
For the fire element I am using Action Essentials 2 by Video Copilot. You can get it here: www.videocopilot.net/products...
You can also find some free fire elements by following my post here:
www.surfacedstudio.com/blog/u...
It is easy to do some motion tracking and attach a basic stock footage element of fire onto your hands, but there is a little bit of work involved if you actually want to make it look good.
After tracking my thumb, we will use a looping fire stock footage element and set my thumb on fire! With the help of a delta null object and some clever expressions we will have the fire bend organically as I move my hand around. Finally we will add some advanced lighting to the scene using the Difference Matte effect to avoid spending hours rotoscoping.
There are lots of little useful tricks in this tutorial that will help you create all sorts of other cool visual effects - or set even more things on fire!

Most requested VFX tutorial ever: How to make fire with your hands in Adobe #AfterEffects ! Enjoy!
Awesome excited it's finally out ;P
***** Yeah I am agree with u. Tobias give every details about particular effect and he's tutorials easy to understand. :)
Simple particle effect :) You can create that with either Particular or the inbuilt CC Particle World effect
Have a look at HitFilm, I think they have or at least had an Express version which was free and has similar...ish capabilities
Surfaced Studio Thanks this really helped! Just earned a SUBSCRIBER!
hi Tobias
had a great time follow your tutorial
i was able to do most of this tutorial apart from the null delta
section because i do not know how to open the effect expression
thank you
tzahi
By far the best after effects tutorials on your channel. I literally always come straight to here when I have a problem on after effects. Easy to understand and fun to watch. Don't stop making these videos!!!
That is why I love After Effects. You can literally do everything you want! Greetings from Italy!🇮🇹
Greetings from Australia!
@@SurfacedStudio 💪💪
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I was looking for the "Difference Matte Effect" as I always knew it were possible, but didn't know if by stock in AE or what. Thank you so much for showing me it!! :DD
No worries, great to hear you got something useful out of the tut. I like the Difference Matte effect and have used it a fair bit. Doesn't work in all situations, but when it does it's a life saver!
This is an old one but still relevant, and it helped me out propper. Thanks dude!
You’re welcome! Happy to hear this video is still (somewhat) useful haha!
@@SurfacedStudio hey where the motion tracking video
.............
@Surfaced Studio i made an toturial based on this now this is what youtube needs you still read your comments 6 years later most youtubers dont even read comments when they upload it and they never even reply but you.. wow the best toturial on yt
Really cool effect! So many subtleties that go into making this effect. Your tutorials are so easy to follow along with
MagicMan Productions Thank you, that's great to hear!
you made my day, sir.,,,,,, just keep going
i realized that the sound effect for the fire turning on is the same one as the text reveal in your intro.
That was excellent! I like how you added multiple effects rather than simply adding just only fire to the thumb....much more realistic. I learned a lot!
dbreardon Great to hear, thank you!
i started with photoshop in 2013 and got into after effects with this tutorial(2014) and learned illustrator 2 years ago and now learning blender. came a long way.
i recommend this tutorial even to beginners even tho its intermediate becuz it covers many major stuffs that u would use a lot like time remapping, precomposing, expressions, difference matte, tracking, etc.
this tutorial really coveys basic idea of how keyframes work.
Thank you for the awesome comment :) Glad to hear you enjoyed the tutorial!
Sir can u tell how to make a realistic flying over clouds ....I made it many Time but it didn't looked realistic....(for adobe cs4)
Film Riot have a great flying tutorial :)
You are frickin awesome
Thank you very much :D
Surfaced Studio Can't believe you replied!! WOW!! I'm a huge fan. You're a big inspiration to me. Keep up the good work!
No worries, glad you're enjoying my work! More will surely follow :D
Surfaced Studio Cool. I also have a request for a video tutorial. Can you teach us some effects that would be useful in an action movie. For example: making punches connect. Thanks a ton! Also, do you have an Instagram?
Stay awesome!!
Homemade Hollywood Something a lot of people forget is that punching something moves both people away. So if you move the shoulder slightly back about 1/20 second before the impact it helps tremendously. You can also add some wrinkles in the shirt and a _very_ slight ripple on the skin, plus a dent.
i dont comment on ppls tutorials but from all your tutorials i must tell you that you are doing a great job, with in-depth details. keep up the good work
Samson Exoduz Thank you very much for watching - and for making the effort to leave a comment :)
Absolutely awesome turotial man! Helped me a lot, thank you so much for uploading such masterpiece! Keep up the good work!
:) NO worries at all! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!
sry i have problem my fire black background will not disapear what i should to do?
+Mr SeeS Set the mode to screen
+Where are my Britchers?
i cant get you, how to set mode to screen?
If you can't see where the mode is, click Toggle Switches/Modes and then you should see a menu that says normal, click that and then click screen
+Where are my Britchers? Thank You SOO MUCH FOR ANSWERING THAT
+Mr SeeS THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR ASKING THAT QUESTION.HAD THAT SAME PROBLEM TOO
Man, you made it so completed yet simple. Thank you for sharing. Good job!
Vincent Limonty Thank you!

"Any part in that matter" - thats what she said

for tutorial
Josh Angeles no worries!
¡Hey, Tobias! I've been follwing your tutorials, and i gotta say: you're aweseome, man! I would like to keep learning a lot more from your tutorials. Keep it up! You are one of my main references from this AE series tutorials. ¡Cheers!

Dallin Chipman Glad you liked it, thanks!
I just get a blue screen?
Wow! Got to say you improve a lot...:) great compositing.

:D
Wren the reaper
True! :O
I do not know who that is an even Google doesn't seem much help
it is probably just a coincidence :D
By the way, great tutorial ;)
haha :D
Surfaced Studio he is a great guy! he also has this tutorial and his is waaaayyy realistic. He is the guy who created The Omen Chronicles.
i m gay
Can i offer you some money?
Vishnu _M_D umm ok
Nice work man! Some good tips in there
Thanks for doing all these tutorials! I did some practice on my own footage. The only thing I added was a short almost invisible puff of smoke at the end when blowing out the flame. I got the idea from your other tutorials. This one was great for additional mask and expressions practice. I also liked simulating a night shot and having the flame light my face which could be useful in other situations as well. Keep up the good work.
+Chris Ford Thanks for watching and the positive comment. I hope everyone extends / modifies my tutorials to their needs and not just follow it mindlessly step-by-step :)
I was looking for a motion tracking tutorial and got to this video. Thank you very much for linking your motion tracking tutorial within this video, this helped a lot!

I wasn't going to watch this because I thought it was going to be very simple. I learn't lots of small tricks from this video I never knew about, thanks.
:) That's great to hear. It's a simple basic effect, but lots of little 'tweaks' to make it actually look decent
Absolutely amazing tutorial!
Thanks man :D
Thank you soooo much! You are literally one of the only people on CZcams who has made a good fire effect.
As a bit of a follow up to this effect, it would be really cool if you could show us a water bending type tutorial.
Thanks :)
Thanks for watching, glad you liked it. I'll put the water bending request on my list, but - as always - can't guarantee when it'll happen :)
Much thanks brother! Very cool!

Thank you!
Great tutorial, thank you.
Quick question, how would you create shadows on your face and under your right arm according to the position of the fire?
Duplicate the layer of yourself, tint it black, make it semi transparent and then either animate or link it to the position of the flame. Then use yourself as a track matte or use some masks to constrain the shadow to certain areas
Thank you
Nice Tutorial!!!
+Smeilmer :D
