I am interested in creating a fire light kind of effect for a footage. We have a 2d animation composition, and want to add a fire lighting to the scene. Think of a wall when lighted with a campfire or a fireplace. That is what I am trying to accomplish.

Thinking about using particular kind of thing. But not sure if that's the correct way.

How can I? Open to every kind of suggestions.
