Greetings all,

We're Green Screening two subjects in a frame that resembles the Red Carpet at the Oscars.  I'm wondering if anyone has an idea for an effect that makes it look like these folks are being photographed by lots of photographers w/flash bulbs?

Thanks for considering!

Any type of glow that cuts in and dissolves out in 4-6 frames will do it. NI has an optical glow that is particularly useful.

You can also fake this using the RGB keyer on a an upper layer, key it white, cut it in and disolve it out quickly.

 You can cut in a lens flare (I believe it is the 50mm that is all white)....cut it in for around 2 frames for each flash.....you can also animate the size of the lens flare by using the instensity...I use either BCC lens or Saphire for this.

Are the photographers in frame or just the subjects?

No photographers...Just the subjects.

Similar to this only a bit more intense...

I would roto them out on a single frame with animatte and color correct it brighter.

Or export single frames to Photoshop and use the Dodge tool.
