Optical Flares are not Optional...Get This One

Extremely easy to use and even easier to customize. Andrew Cramer and friends continue to to output affordable, effective professional products. If I read his blog correctly, Optical Flares was used in major motion picture productions. Toolfarm is the most convenient spot to find these things.
