From what I have seen and from what I already know about video fx I can say is the new Optical Flares is a good thing. KLF is a good plug in but it’s pretty much the only one until now. I’m glad they are taking a step forward and making the overall use easier. And I’m positive there will be hard core supporters for both.

Now here’s a good question, who makes a plug in to fix all these lame, unoriginal movies scripts that look awesome after the fact, but like wax fruit leaves me wanting something…more.

“They would be tricky to replicate with the current KLF.”

Navarro – in fact, much of the CGI flares used in Star Trek were Knoll Light Factory Pro flares. Also used in Avatar, Transformers 1 and 2, Speed Racer
Revenge of the Sith, Attack of the Clones, Phantom Menace, Star Trek First Contact, Mission Impossible, and Star Trek Generations to name a few.

I’d like to have the ability to add defects and real-world internal lens reflections. With Fringe, Transformers 2, and of course Star Trek, realistic lens flares are the new hotness. Many of them are done in camera during the shoot. But some are clearly post effects. They would be tricky to replicate with the current KLF.

Check out these flares from Fringe. They don’t look like anything KLF can do…

You mean is Optical Flare going to be competing against Knoll Light Factory. Of course it is. But Optical Flare is being coded by hired guns and KLF has an entire company behind it. Which will you trust more?

A stellar list of enhancements that KLF hase definitely needed. Thanks for the update Aharon. Best, John.
