Sorry that we've been a little late at any updates in the past week. We've both been busy out of our minds! Maybe we should get some more help over here. ;-)Here is a quick Camera Flash built with Buena Effect Essentials. You can build a camera flash pretty easily by keyframing a solid, but I like the way that this flash really highlights the brighter areas, like the sample in the image to the left. That is one frame after the hottest part of the flash.

Yeah... why would you need to use a flash at the beach.... I know I know... suspension of disbelief, okay... (Photo courtesy of iStockPhoto.com)
