Continue reading →: How to Create an Energy Materialization Effect in Adobe After Effects: Build People and Objects from Light, Sparks, Electricity, and Glowing ParticlesAn energy materialization effect makes a person, object, logo, or other subject appear to form from concentrated light and electrical energy. The scene may begin completely empty. Small sparks appear. Glowing particles start gathering. Electrical arcs jump through the air. Light trails converge toward a central point. A luminous silhouette…

Instead of beginning with a complete person, object, logo, or title, the scene begins with: dust. pixels. glowing particles. fragments. digital blocks. floating debris. These elements move toward a common destination. They begin forming recognizable shapes.…
