Write with light in After Effects

In the first tutorial, Creative Cow leader Aharon Rabinowitz shows you how to use After Effects to simulate the popular light writing effect seen in recent Sprint commercials. The second video shows you how to improve the look of the light writing effect by adding intense points of light and other improvement ideas. This is an advanced tutorial so you should be comfortable with After Effects before starting. The beginning of the video explains what you should know or review first.
