Special Effects used to be an art practiced only by highly paid Hollywood technicians with big budgets. Today, with a combination of creativity and knowledge you can incorporate some big budget Hollywood techniques using low budget camera tricks and editing software. Learn how your characters can burn down a house or shoot up a car without any damage! Stage gun battles without bullets, blanks, or even a sound that would alert your neighbors to your carrier as a movie producer. Discover how to use green screen effects to put your characters in any setting.

As a special bonus we have included step-by-step screen recorded presentations of how we produced some of these special effects using Adobe premiere, Adobe Photoshop, and Particle Illusion. Sit back and relax as we show you the process of creating images and placing them with sounds into your video. Once you understand the basics of adding special effects into the time line, the only limit to what you can to with special effects is your imagination!
