Glass layer in combustion

[Anonymous]

I recomend shooting a glass window element. Shoot a window that is lit properly for the plate you plan to composite it with, get your reflections more or less the way you want them. You can use black as a backing to your window element.
Then its a pretty simple composite to put your glass over the bg plate.

If you can’t shoot one then you will have to manufacture one. Look around at windows and perhaps shoot some still frames that you can use as reference or even for you plate depending on the results you want.

What sells glass are reflections.
You can paint them but anything complex is going to be a pain. So get your reflection plate on film or video.
