Fire Cinematic VFX | Fire Glow Energy Effect

Posted Jun 16, 2026

When creativity meets technology sparks truly fly. 🔥 This project showcases a cinematic VFX shot of a footballer channeling raw energy through fire glowing hands, representing strength, passion, and power on the field. The fire simulation was created entirely in Unreal Engine, rendered with realistic lighting and heat distortion to achieve a natural, high-dynamic glow. The render was then composited and refined in After Effects, where I added motion glow, light wraps, and visual blending to integrate the effect seamlessly with real footage. For the final cinematic tone, DaVinci Resolve was used for color grading and mood styling, while Premiere Pro handled the final edit, sound design, and pacing tying everything together into one cohesive visual. 🎥 Workflow Breakdown: Fire Simulation & Render — Unreal Engine Compositing & Glow — After Effects Color Grading — DaVinci Resolve Final Edit & Sound — Premiere Pro
