Sequence #15 - "Gunfire"

Inguinal hernia is fixed and a new sequence is done.  It's been 2 weeks by now, that they wide-opened me in order to patch the hernia that i had on the lower abs level.  Look at my nice staples !  =) 

I'm in remission in the moment and will be for a couple of weeks.  I can't sit for more than 30 minutes (it hurts), so even if i'm not going to work, i can't work a lot inside the house neither.  The problem is that i can't lift anything and i can't hold a standing or sitting position for a while.  Anyway, little by little, i managed to work a little on my project in the last days.  I shot sequence #15.  Nothing very difficult and quite very simple, but it was something that needed to be done. In fact, it's more like a bridge between two important sequences, because it's only 1.5 seconds long.  

Here's what it look like.

The character's doing a quarter turn on himself and begin to shot, so i fixed him like i did on sequence #5 "Earthquake".

 

The lightning was a little tricky.  There's one light for the general ambiance and another one that simulate the gunfire.  The fire coming from the gun is done with photoshop, but the light it brings is real.

There's a LED light inside a pierced wood piece that act like a cannon.

There's 3 gunfire lightning setups.  On the bottom pictures, you can see :  Full light, half light and no light.  I just changed the setups with other wood pieces, i putted in front of the light beam.  Running these 3 lightning setups repeatedly in that order give a nice machine gun light effect on my character.
