Harness the Forces of Nature

Fog II, Rain, and Dust for Video

Meticulous filmmakers demand the best of everything for their projects: from crew members to camera lenses, and locations to soundtrack. Why settle for anything less with the effects you add in post?

We’ve added three new packs to our lineup of natural video effects with the discriminating filmmaker and VFX artist in mind.

Fog II 4K includes:

  • 4K ProRes: 19GB, 4K H264: 3GB

Our membership gives a single-user access to all products and songs that are currently available on our website, including all VFX libraries.

Our VFX overlay products are encoded in ProRes, and are compatible in any non-linear editing software that allows you to change the “blend mode” of clips on your timeline to “screen.” This includes, but is not limited to, programs such as:

  • Adobe Premiere Pro
  • Final Cut Pro
  • DaVinci Resolve
  • Lumafusion
  • NUKE
  • Etc.,

Avid Media Composer and iMovie do not have “blend mode” settings and are not supported.
Check with your editing software’s help documentation to ensure that you have the “screen” blend mode option.

Overview

Create atmospheric depth

Haze and fog are extremely versatile. They can create subtle texture and movement in a scene or contribute to feelings of mystery and conflict. Great filmmakers utilize these elements to create a sense of spatial volume and depth in their visuals.

With Fog II, we meticulously captured fog, haze, wispy smoke and atmospheric elements in various configurations and patterns. We then curated them into four essential categories – Slower, Faster, Textured, and Lower – to help you easily find the clip that best complements your scene.

Highest Quality

All the effects are 100% optically-captured in-camera. This gives you organic movement, texture and a great sense of realism that would be time-consuming to replicate with CGI.

Overview

Rain at your fingertips

Rain has a certain emotion to it and you want to dial in its visibility to create the perfect feel in your film. Getting a rain scene just right on set can be difficult and creating CGI rain after the fact can be equally cumbersome. We’ve created this pack of highly detailed rain effects to give you all the options you need in post.

Highest Quality

All of these rain effects were optically-captured in a controlled environment, which gives them organic movement and realistic variation. The clips move at normal speed and include options for wide angle shots as well as close-up shots.

Subtle Texture

Some of the best effects are ones the viewer doesn’t notice, but something would be missing if they’re not there. The effects in this pack are subtle and slow-moving. You can use them to give texture to your footage, or an organic feel to your title sequences.

Highest Quality

All the effects are 100% optically-captured in-camera. This gives you organic movement, a variety of sizes and textures, and a great sense of realism that would be cumbersome to mimic digitally.

Natural Elements – Optically Captured

From day one, we’ve focused on offering high-quality effects created by optically capturing real elements in camera with top gear. These new packs are no exception. You can come close to mimicking these effects with CGI, but that’s labor-intensive and time-consuming. With our Fog II, Rain, and Dust packs, you get a genuine look with less time spent.

Curation is a hallmark of all Lens Distortions products. We focus on providing only the best and desired variations of each effect. With Dust and Rain, the 25 effects in each respective pack will cover most any use case. While Fog II delivers 50 distinct variations organized in four categories to cover the nuances actual fog and haze exhibit.

Highly Versatile

Lighting and focal lengths largely determine what’s visible in your shot. Sometimes elements that are present on set don’t come across much in the recording. You can easily intensify the existing fog, dust, and rain in a shot by simply applying one of these overlays.

Other times, you’re creating a world from scratch. From a title sequence that needs background texture to a complex composite that needs layers of detail, these natural overlays are just the right ingredients in the hands of an experienced editor.

Powerful Combinations

Our Fog II, Rain, and Dust video overlays were designed to work beautifully together.

Layering multiple effects from the same pack can create interesting depth and dimension. For example, you could use a few Fog II clips to put a solid blanket of haze in the background and some wispy smoke trails in the foreground, creating a complex environment around your subject.

Nature often delivers fog and rain together in real life, why not do the same in post? After all, the goal is to create a realistic and visceral scene. Fog II actually helps naturally blend the Rain effects into your shots.

Our enduring Light Hits pack has been a favorite among Lens Distortions users since its launch. Light Hits offers soft, natural bursts of sunlight. Since dust generally is visible in the glow of light, pairing Light Hits with the new Dust pack and a little editing know-how will yield some pretty interesting visuals.
