Beams

I think one of the most important things I have learned after all these years working for TV productions is to find quick practical solutions to meet deadlines and tight budgets. 

I learned this one from my boss Kosal Sok @petitcarreau who developed plenty of techniques like this one when he was constantly battling the eternal fight between keeping good quality in animation and meeting the tight deadlines on a very FX heavy series called Wakfu.

Try it out! you will be surprised on how FX animation is more about having a good timing and nice designed shapes than knowing how to draw.

important things to think about 

you need an anticipation, something directing people’s attention to a specific spot on the screen, works better if all lines converge to the same point.

for the Shoot you will need a sequence of small-big-small shapes coming from the center, or the other way around, the main idea is to get the stroboscopic effect on 1s

you can also flash and blind, with a big white frame depending on the intensity of the beam, just be careful to not use it all the time, this effect is not nice for people’s eyes. you can also accent the flash with a sequence of opposite colors on 1′s black and white it’s a classic but try others and experiment :)

Here’s my animation for the opening credits of Castlevania without the bells and whistles of compositing.

Not only did I get to develop the style for this part, but it’s the only piece of animation in the show where my original drawings aired without any sort of clean up.
