Happy Fourth of July everyone. Here's a holiday specific, fun effect.

There are lots of fireworks tutorials out there, but I liked how this lad handled it. For those who know After Effects it's a great get-in-and-get-it-done tut.

For those who don't, don't get caught up with what he's doing. Just watch and enjoy the transformation from particles to the effect he's going for. See how everything's done with purpose. The kid knows his stuff.
