PPP - vertical slice light test

one of the main assets that will be in my music video is the lighting, which will be its own physical component within the world of the story

I looked up some tutorials on how to create a sweeping rave light in After Effects, but the main issue that I had with this effect was that the light's edge was blurred and I could not control the blur. What I want from the lights is for them to have very clear, defined boundaries, like paths of light.

I quickly worked out that the simplest way to achieve this effect was to use a png file of a coloured shape. Then, I can layer this in Premiere with my other assets (background, character animations) and toggle the opacity and blend mode

I used for this lighting test clip a Screen blend mode, and worked out how to toggle the ease of the rotation to make it feel more organic and sweeping than simply a rotating object in space

I am currently animating my protagonist as well for the Vertical Slice shot, for at least one 3 second long clip
