Hi..

I want to visualize pollen drift in some shots of various crop-fields.

I'm looking to create a similar effect that can bee seen in this video:

I got some information from another forum that the Particle Generator in After Effects is the way to go, or using a third party particle generator plugin...
I also would like to use a particular close up image of one pollen as a base for the particles generated.

If someone would like to share some information on software needed and tutorials ... :)


Using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.
