Florin Flammer show how to recreate a shot from a high budget Hollywood movie like 'The Creator'. He starts off by recreating the backdrop of a scene (a beach, water, characters and mountains in the distance), and then step by step sets up a shader node group for the laser effect.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.
