This page will collect together in one place my HD lens flares and other effects for you to download and use. You can see my 4K leaks in other pages. Or just browse at the top of the page.
What are these?
These are short high definition clips for use by editors and compositors. They work with any editing package - however I am delivering them as Quicktimes. By layering them over your images, using a compositing style such as 'screen' you add colour and interest - reminiscent of old style film effects.
How do I get them?
For each collection I've put up a sample via youtube. There is then a file to download.
- 1080p HD
- ProRes format (Movs) if I can, or mp4 if otherwise the file is too big
- Zipped together in batches of 6 or 7 OR as a single video file with a few clips back to back
How did you do them?
I took the lens off of my camera and added various glass objects to the front instead - then combined that with lamps and light sources.
Are they free?

- If you are into writing I have a couple of books out, one on writing a feature, one on how to earn a living as a writer. Both get good reviews.
Lastly, you can play about with these leaks in an iOS app called Videohance
One: Light facets
These bursts of light pan across the screen, spankling as they go. Created by effectively using a glass crystal as a lens directly on the camera, they offer blinding light, mixed with refracting spectrums. There are 8 versions in this one clip. One even 'maxes out' to white making it ideal to use as a transition or dissolve. To keep under a 200MB limit I had to compress this as the highest possible quality H264.

Two: Multi-faceted flares
This multi-element flare was made for when you need colour, detail, range and an organic / analogue feel to a lens flare. Great for compositing over shots and transitions you can speed it up for another great look. I've used the slowest original speed here so you can ramp up the speeds and do what you like. Another tip is to recolour them, to blue for example. There are 3 in this set. They were filmed with a plastic lens, hence the very grungy feel to them. To keep un der a 200MB limit I had to compress this as the highest possible quality H264.

Three: classic lens flare sweep
This is a classic lens flare sweep, using a standard glass lens. As with a lot of my light leaks, they work better when sped up, but I present them at the original slow speed to give you the most options. The clip ends with a nice rainbow pattern that I captured as a bit of a bonus.

Four: pulsing lens flare
This is a twitching lens flare, a compliment to clip 14. Sometimes, for example, compositing over titles, you don't want a moving flare. You want a static one. A totally static image can be got via a freeze-frame - but that's the same. A little movement is good.

Five: fast lens flare sweep
These fast sweeps are a variation on a previous clip. The faster speed is useful to act as a wipe.

Six: Arctic Glass light leak (1)
This is a crazy kind of light leak. The spiral shapes look amazing sped up and this can be used as a transition too. This is one of three in this style, all shot near the Arctic Circle for the best kind of light
