Free light leak - ghostly spooky style

Here is my latest HD light leak. As ever, available for free (and also you can watch it on YouTube) via Creative Commons, details below.

I collect all my light leaks on a special page where there are MORE FREE DOWNLOADS, so bookmark it. So far, as I upload this, they have been downloaded well over 575,000 times! And used in TV shows on NatGeo, Discovery and BBC1. As well as trailers and indie films.

This new one has a ghostly, spooky, misty kind of look. In fact it is different light streaming through ice! And there's two versions in this 1 clip.



If in your edit package you alter the speed or reverse them you can create even more different looks too.

If you are using these clips for a commercial project with a budget then get in touch. I make the leaks free for non-commercial use (short films etc). Creative Commons details on the main page.

If 4K leaks are of interest to you (under the same conditions) then I have loads here.

If you want to do me a favour because of all this cool stuff - that would be great too. Cheers. A few suggestions...

4K feature film edit workflow - how to edit 4K in Premiere via proxies

Last year I edited a feature film, all shot on BMPC4K, in ProRes HQ. It's called Who Killed Nelson Nutmeg? and you can see more, including the trailer, at www.nelsonnutmeg.com

So with that set, there was a lot of footage to store. Also, to share the workload and speed things up we had 3 editors. This caused a bit of pondering about how to do it. I talk about our solution here...


This is just our method, based on the experiences of other film makers we know. Would be good if people had other methods they think are better! If so, share in the comments!
