Extreme macro shot of the corner of an old handwritten letter on dark wood slowly catching fire, a thin line of orange ember creeping across the paper, edges curling and blackening, ink lines disappearing into ash, small sparks and wisps of smoke rising, dark background, warm light from the flame only, slow motion, very shallow depth of field. Audio: soft crackle of burning paper.
Tips for better results
- 01'Light from the flame only' keeps the frame dark and dramatic — adding other lights makes it look staged.
- 02Keep the handwriting unreadable; legible words will warp as the paper burns.
- 03Reverse the clip in your editor for an 'un-burning' effect that works well at the end of a video.
