Vis Exo STYLE — HORROR / LIGHT

Flickering Light Effect Online

Make the lights in a shot fail: a dying bulb’s bursts, a fluorescent tube’s stutter, a subway car cutting out at a third-rail gap, red and blue police lights washing in from the street, or a room lit only by a TV. The flicker can drive the whole picture or only the lamps the footage already has.

What you get

Why Light Flicker Works Here

Fourteen kinds of light

Dying bulb, fluorescent, LED, neon, failing mains, brownout, storm, poltergeist, candle, NYC subway, police lights, passing headlights, TV glow and on the beat.

Lights that are already there

Lamps in the shot are found automatically and flicker on their own, with the room following them, or just the one you pick.

Real colour behaviour

A dimming filament drifts toward deep orange; police lights and headlights are coloured light added to a dark room.

Grain and shake

Film grain in the shadows, a vignette and a small jolt when the light cuts.
