Answers.Body: <p>This is a simple animated lens flare. The specific lens flare they use is likely from a package of lens flares you pay for (a plugin) made by Andrew Kramer over at videocopilot, specifically: <a href="https://www.videocopilot.net/products/opticalflares/" rel="nofollow">https://www.videocopilot.net/products/opticalflares/</a>  </p>
  
  <p>To create custom light flares without the need to pay for them, I'd recommend watching this video: <div class="youtube-embed"><div>
                  <iframe width="640px" height="395px" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4pz6UMQ4P2E?start=0"></iframe>
              </div></div></p>
  
  <p>You simply create the object, the flare in this case, and animate its' position. Do you know how to do that? </p>

  <p>On the left side you'll notice the ball of light moving up and down, adding a nice dynamic effect. How would I go about doing the same? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!</p>
