I painted the face in order to texture it to give it a better look, i followed some tuts on how best to export the uv and found that this map was the one suggested. I have painted it and think it is a good start to better realism and should work well as a false head from the distance.
Looking through some tutorials in one the guy who had made it mentioned a website which has free effects stock footage, i have been to the website, and the footage provided may prove useful in my project. Below is a video which i have downloaded from this website.
This is along the same lines as what I'm doing. In the sense that its real time to slow mo, which is partially what i plan on doing.
Real slo mo of a gun with muzzle flash.
Not the best but some good inspiration, this is shot at different angles and different distance from camera.
I think this is a weak tutorial showing a pretty poor and pointless usage of this effect, i don't see why you would want to create a mussel flash on none moving footage.
