Note
This section supplements the material in Lesson 12 of Adobe After Effects CS5 Classroom in a Book. If you’re following along with that lesson, these sections and the steps they contain are relevant on page 313, after the “Adding motion blur” section and before the “Previewing the entire animation” section.
After Effects CS5.5 adds controls for light falloff so that, just like lights in the real world, a light you create in After Effects casts light that diminishes in intensity as the light travels farther from the source. You can use these settings to add drama to this shot.
