guest post by Burstein!
Kevin Lin is a 12 year-old special effects wunderkind from Lancaster, CA who starred in, filmed, and edited this video where he fires shoots lightening from his hands, lasers, summons energy balls and changes the way you think about hair dryers.
What I enjoyed the most was the attitude of practiced nonchalance in some of the effects that transforms an amusing video by a talented youth into something truly charming. This attitude is also apparent in this video where he solves a Rubic’s Cube with one hand in 29.18 seconds (or at least appears to do so), and this video where he plays with a “Jumper” effect. He’s also on Twitter (@kl1054). Crap, when I was 12, I think that the coolest thing I accomplished was figuring out how to peg my pants.
Kevin created the effects in his demo video using Adobe After Effects.
