After Effects Indoor campfire

[AnotherMiscreation]

Hey Forum

The girls has played tricks on me again. This time with some indoor fire.

I have had tons of problems, getting the fire to look real. It's ok now, but it still easy to see it's an effect. Any good ideas to make it look more real?

Enjoy

maybe make a black circle under the fire like the floor was burned there
