You can use any motion graphics video with dark black background and overlay it above any photo to create a nice special effect using BLEND MODE in a video editing program… This short tutorial video shows the difference between the SCREEN and SOFT LIGHT Blending Modes… These blend modes will remove the dark black background of a video and only the lighter objects will be visible…

I will be posting several particles-in-motion videos that you can use for your own video project… Videos of particles that move along a path with trails are good examples…

Using the blend mode will give better results than using a ChromaKey on a green screen video… The light diffusion is much better when using the blending mode.
