Flying Superheroes Visual Effects is still here!

Hello everyone,

I almost never post here anymore, but I wanted to let people know that I am still around and still taking on VFX jobs.
Take a look at my site, and contact me if you have a video production you would like visual effects added to.

Re: Anyone know how to contact Heroine Power?

I'm friends with him and I know how to contact him, but I I don't know if he would welcome a cold contact. I'll message him and let him know you would like to get in touch with him.
This was a 3-parter and he had me add FX of Batgirl getting shocked in part 3, so there is some peril.

Re: F*ckin NRGWOMEN plagiarizing authors in the community

I guess I should be honored that the story was so popular when it first came out, and that it is still talked about and generating discussion today.

I wouldn't worry about adjusting lighting on-set to get the look you are going for. It would be hard to lighten up video that starts too dark to be usable....better to darken in post. And increase the dynamic range and boost the saturation of your colors to get them to pop.
