First Test of an electric strike

This is a test run for the short film/trailer for 'Electrio'. I am currently using adobe after effects CS5.5 to create the lightning bolt and sony vegas to cut the clips. The aim was to see if I could do the desired effect our group wanted.

                                    

The first attempt at doing this consisted of looking amuterish and didnt look anywhere near the expected look. I began to panic to see if our whole idea for our film would be turned dwn by the the difficulty of the editing.

But then I changed a few things and did some research and managed to create this professional looking lightning bolt. With a sigh of relief that the film could go to plan. This is the edited clip without the sound effects.

This is the final draft for our first test run using additional sound effects. With this we are able to understand what we can expect throughout our short film/trailer. After doing this test, I know the required amount of time it takes to do this 'Electricty effect' and can use that to make sure the time management in my film is good.
