Hi Guys,

Am about to start a project and the client wants light trails (see image attached) that weaves in and out of live footage of footballers. The stream of light will also carry moving footage in it of football games.

Primarily, I am wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the best way og tackling the light trails - paint effects?
Any handy link resources that my research has missed would be awesome too...

Cheers!

You may be able to pull off some pretty nice things with Paint FX here. It sounds like the spot will require a lot of post work to make it work though.

I'd probably tackle this with After Effects or some post app but if maya is your only option, you might try particles too.
