The lighting is truly amazing, especially seeing as you brushed it. One thing I think would look better is a zoomed out final picture.

To be honest, it is a nice go at the last image of the series. It’s just that here there’s chosen a picture that actually shows motion, but the light doesn’t show any of that motion at all. At the promo image it’s a face, and therefor that’s a different case.

By mixing a directional light source with a picture containing motion it kinda feels a bit off.

Hmm.. I like the effect you got to with this tut, but.. I feel like it doesn’t come close enough to NoPattern’s Jumper. I definitely can see the idea, but with some simple lines actually matching the direction of the body it would come a lot closer.

The reason Chuck Andersons Jumper looks so spectacular is because all the light elements actually match the guy’s body position. Also the shading on the person’s body is quite intense, giving the lines more of a blasting effect.

If you look at the original Jumper, you will see the lines give a sense of speed near his face. His face has a lot of shadow and the lines feel like it is light from the front of the face, having a tail.

Also under his upper leg, and of course at his left foot, it shows quite some light intensity. On top of all that, the light source is the guy itself. His motion, his force, is suppose to be translated to the light.

No offence A nice effect created in this tutorial. But I feel like this tutorial lacks the blow it should give to come near the Jumper effect. I suppose this might be a good foundation tho’.

noise is used here to “smooth” gradients. In my opinion: better fill the layer with white, than add noise and nlend to Multiply – play with opacity to get the best effect (I ended up with 22%)

Hello Fabio

Your tuturials are great but it’s very difficult for someone who is not professional, can you be more specific with your explainations?
for example in the first step, i see the screenshot and there are effects on the background, but what values?

Keep going with your great job you inspire me to improve my skills
