Bullet Hole Creation

  There is a point in the video where the main protagonist fires two shots. The both miss but one hits the wall. I wanted to give a sense of verisimilitude so I wanted to add a quick one in post.

I started by motion tracking the small rivet on the wall. I purposely filmed this because I knew I wanted to track it to add a bullet hole.

I then added the bullet hole from a picture I took form a video game and finally added motion blur.

I research some more bullet holes and saw that they always have dust or smoke coming out of them. I used the same smoke as I use for my muzzle flares.

I put this all together and used the same tracking data for the smoke.

Finally I added a glow and ended up feathering it until it was hardly visible.

Finally, I put it all into FCP7.
