In this tutorial we will be creating a cool looking energy ball effect.

We will be using lots of effects to create the pulsating energy base for the effect.
On top of everything we will add a flickering optical flare to add some intensity.
We will finish it off with a burning ring of energy using the Video Copilot Saber plugin.
Finally, we will composite everything back into our original shot of Walter throwing an energy ball into my face!

All comments and feedback welcome :)
