I want to make a blurred baton and get the same effect as photographing it @ 1/4 second ... is this possible?

Hi
You could make the baton from a 3D extrusion (I used 2 extrusions - one for the handle and one for the baton then combined the 3D layers and rendered).
Then make a copy of the render in a smart object and apply a radial blur filter to that copy. Finally rotating the blurred copy so it appears to "follow" the baton.
I also added an extra layer to darken the baton handle slightly on the blurred copy

ah - things I’ve never done - your link, by the way, leads to a “page not found” on two browsers

My link ? - I didn't include a link.
I pasted in a screenshot which should be visible in any browser (I've just checked it in two)

ah - I see it - there is a link in your email, but I can see the pic now - I’ll try that - it’s what I’m trying to do.
thanks

Give it a try and shout out if you get stuck at any point, or need any more detail.

I was thinking about this Dave, and thought the baton might move quite a way in q quarter of a second, so I downloaded a video to look at in Premiere Pro. This is a single frame (25th of a second)
And this is six frames (¼ second). Quite surprising how far that baton moves!
