LOL thanks, the flame is actual video footage of a torch, but with everything but the fire removed, pretty cool stuff I downloaded a huge pack of prekeyed effects like that. I then tinted it green and manipulated it to fit around the green difuse ball I added. I used motion tracking keyed to the black electrical tape on my fingers to control where the ball and the flame moved during the video.... its freaking cool. I think I might try to see if I can animate the fractal overlay I put in the bal to see if I can make it a little more alive.
my next project is to see if I can toss the ball from hand to hand, create a believable magic projectile, and a flaming knife.
