YOUR Ideas

[TheActionVideos]

Hey guys! LazloCook here. I was wondering if you guys had any ideas for an action/VFX video. Maybe something a little different then what I normally do. If it's a good idea you could see it in my next video!

Something me & my friend did a while ago: a fight scene in the style of an old fashioned arcade beat-em-up so have health bars etc.

Thats a really good idea. What editing system did you use?

At the time we only used Sony Vegas, now I use Final Cut Pro but we got special effects from Demolition Films. Check them out!

Naww. I did it ages ago. Health bars are easy to find though, just search on Google OR just make them yourself, all you need is a block of colour

Was going to say, it's probably easier to custom make a bar and have it key framed transformed.

Exactly! They don't have to have a gradient, they can just be a red block of colour.

Keep it simple and it'll look more polish is what I'm learning with After Effects haha. Just key frame the hit, bar transform, a sound effect and it'll look real enough.
