This is because most Flame artists have been Flame artists for a long time, and because the studios that use Flame have been using Flame for a long time, and because those studios' regular clients expect to sit on a couch behind the Flame artist (preferably the same one every time) and direct the final stages of post-production, because that's what they've always done.įlame artists are usually kind of isolated from the rest of the studio, in a dark & quiet room, and they're often 'out of the loop' creatively, even when they're the ones getting the most face-time with the director.

You could install Nuke and/or Hiero on any decent PC and have an equivalent or superior system, for the cost of a 2nd-hand compact car.īut Flame still exists, and it's still very expensive, and Flame artists still command fairly high salaries, even though they may be no more skilled than the average compositor. So from a technology standpoint, Flame is pretty redundant. in terms of flexibility & extensibility, for example - but it still costs as much as a luxury car. It was pretty advanced, for its time, under its original developers (Distreet Logic), but since Autodesk bought them out, it hasn't really progressed - it's fallen way behind Nuke etc.

The software itself is nothing special, either. It's no longer a special bit of technology, but it still costs as much as a luxury car. Today, though, the hardware is just a regular PC, albeit one made from expensive parts. Just to add, Flame is generally NOT used in feature films anymore due to it's cost.īecause this is the VFX subreddit, someone should explain why Flame and Flame artists are often hated in the VFX industry.īack in the days of turnkey systems, Flame was a combination of special-purpose hardware (in a really big box) and software, which all worked together pretty nicely. I think for commercials, it is a really interesting time, as the big companies are accepting Nuke/Heiro as a front-room client facing alternative to Flame/Smoke, as opposed to Nuke just being used as support. If you move company and take an account with you, that could be the equivalent of bringing millions worth of work to a company.Īll that said, I feel getting into Flame now, it would be tough to command the same salaries as they did in the 90's/early 2000's as the industry has shifted a lot towards Nuke for a lot of the heavy vfx, but it's still used a lot. If you're good with clients, you can reach the stage where you actually have pull over where work goes. You need to be able to deal with insane pressure and last minute changes while dealing with multiple clients - on top of doing all your comp and editing work. To get the big bucks, you really need have an outgoing personality and be able to schmooze with clients. As a result, artists who actually know the software are much more difficult to come by, let alone GOOD ones.

Generally you can't get a crack copy of Flame as easily as you can for Nuke/After Effects.

As a comparison NukeX 8 costs about $8000. There are a few reasons why Flame ops are so expensive:įlame Premium with Flare and Lustre costs $129,000 for a single license. It is primarily for heavy VFX work, as opposed to Smoke, which is similar, but is more used for online editing and versioning. You can conform EDLs (Edit Decision Lists) to create an edit, do all your vfx on every shot and export your final commercial, all in one package on one system. Here's a short wiki on it which should give some basic info:įlame as a program is kinda like using Premiere/After-Effects or Hiero/Nuke in one package.
