Using our Free Lightning Collection, you can recreate the Electro lightning VFX in After Effects.

In this After Effects tutorial, we will recreate the lightning VFX of Electro from Spider-Man: No Way Home using a few of our collections, including our Free Lightning Collection.

This Electro-inspired tutorial will cover:

  • Using our Free Lightning Collection to create lightning bolts shooting out of your body.
  • Creating electrical arcs.
  • Creating lightning glow.
  • Simulating atmospheric glow and flicker.
  • Face tracking using After Effect's facial tracker.
  • Creating a simple eye glow.
