elephant's dream glowing effect

you know in elephants dream, the characters “glow” or something. this could be related to lets say, a stereotypical image of a glowing radioactive metal, with that erie green thing. can anybody help me achieve this effect?

They don’t glow, it’s like light bloom. It’s a node setup, actually. You duplicate the image in nodes, scale up the contrast ratio with a colour ramp or colour curves so only the highlights show, blur the highlights, and screen them over the original image.

Try look at any of the ED files. Read about the glow effect in the VSE in the Wiki. Search this forum for “glow effect” as this was asked about two or three weeks ago. Have fun!
