I think the effect looks gorgeous. Reason I'm posting this is because I'm trying to create a digital version of the flare... and I need some assistance... because after my TOS project, I want to have another go at the wormhole sequence in TMP, just for reference here is the old one:
As well as the wormhole itself, maybe give it a slight fast blur, so it's not so sharp... this particular take was done back in June of 2010... but I digress... so my question is: What flare elements would you suggest go into it? Most lens flare tools contain the same set of lens objects... their flexibility is another story...
Since TMP's flare seems to contain multiple effects, like when it's brightest you see all the spectrum spokes, as it fades away it goes more towards a flare with spikes... so I'll prolly have to create a separate effect for each aspect of the total flare, then composite them in After Effects to get them to blend nicely...
The flare used at the start of the acceleration to warp shouldn't be too hard, as it's coloring is a faded spectrum, and not very involved, the 3rd frame will be the hardest, or the most involved...

Optical Flares may work, but I'd need to know which lens objects to use...

divn't be lazy now
Who said anything about being lazy, I'm not being lazy...
I'm asking the more optical effects type people, which lens objects would work best, be it a shimmer, a glint, etc. or just some nice layer effects on top of a somewhat standard flare...
Something tells me the Hoop lens object will do nicely, possibly, not sure how low you can lower the number for the number of streaks...

you've already broken down the effect, all you have to do now is make a start on these elements yourself, don't waste time here - get stuck in! Then if you don't know how to do a certain element ask for some specific help by all means, but you'll never learn anything if you ask people to do it all for you
another thing - yet again you've disabled embedding on your videos, you've been told about this enough times before, either enable embedding or post a link, if you're not prepared to do this then just don't post it at all, I know it seems like I'm always having a rant but you make it so easy for me
I didn't say it had to be done in Optical Flares... I was looking for anyway someone had insight into how...
I broke the effect down, giving my thoughts on what elements I might be able to use... I wasn't asking everyone to do it all for me... I was asking what elements of a lens flare might be best, and I was gonna take it from there... since most lens flare tools from what I've seen contain pretty much the same or similar elements to compose a lens flare...
No, that video is from way back when I still set videos on that, and I'd forgotten, it wasn't a intentional choice... every video since the last time you told me has had it enabled if it was to be posted here, but this video is from the middle of last year... but I'll correct it now.
Hmmm, thanks, I'll look into it.
Yea, I never figured it could all be done with one solution...
Someone I follow on YouTube, has done the effect, and it's almost perfect, might ask him for some insight, if he used custom comps for it, etc.
