Stupid Question: lens flare cost

Post by McAvoy »

Just a random question. Anyone here know what it costs or could cost for a lens flare? Especially an artificial one. Just want to know.

I imagin once you have the effec it's easy to add again and again
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

CG or practical? Because JJ made a lot of lensflares practically by shining a flashlight at the camera.

But not in total CGI shots though. I also do wonder how many shots had lens flares added later.

Don't worry, it cost nothing, it's just the result of JJ presence in the room ;)
