Use of After Effects in DGTC

One of the main effects in my film is the one where the camera zooms in on Dukes face, we see him blink, then open his eyes, showing that they have changes colour.
This was a pretty simple effect to create; the entirety of the effect was done in Adobe after effects.
The raw footage of the is clip was me just having my eyes open and then blinking slowly. Then it was imported into after effects.
  Initially the plan was to create two mask over each of my eyes that would each be a translucent shade of red; I first had to split the clip at the point when my eyes became open again, so that I could let the masks last until the clip had ended. I then had to create an adjustment layer and a null object for each eye; the adjustment layer would be where I would create the masks, and the null object is where I would do the motion tracking.
I tracked each eye in each of the null objects, then created the masks in the adjustment layers.

As you can see from this picture, I have created masks in the adjustment layers. The colour is achieved by opening the curves and bending them to get the desired colour.

I then had two masks that followed my eyes for the duration of the clip. to finish, I then added some feathering to the colour to thin the outline and make them more realistic.

I created a flame in Charlies hand in after effects, this is the effect where Dan opens his hands, and creates a small flame.

I had to watch some tutorials in order to get this effect right, but it looks good in the film.
Basically I had to download a video of a flame on a black background; I imported it into after effects, and changed the blending mode to screen, which made the background disappear.
I then tracked it to Charlies hand, to make it look like it was moving along with his hand.
I then exported the footage out of After effects, and put it in the premiere document.
