Colour Synching

duplication of layers which had to be tinted different colours.
What I thought was going to be a very straightforward process turned out to be relatively complicated. The synching of colour within a layer basically meant that I had to duplicate said layer twice (which drains CPU) and tint them red and blue. Then I had to drag them slightly to the side and turn the opacity down considerably, adding a motion blur also.
Slight color around the edges of the lightening bolts signifies a
color synch. The effect was originally a mistake and was called 'bad TV'
in an old version of Final Cut Pro
When a musical beat is heard in the clip, the colour synch effect is intensified, corresponding with the swell in sound. A more random, sporadic colour synch effect had to be applied to the Scott Pilgrim logo and the camera tracked text, in accordance with the original footage. The entire effect gives off a playful, light hearted vibe in accordance with the film's themes.
colour synch was also applied to the surrounding footage
