You can tell by the shadows that light's illumination was increased. However, you can acheive a similar result (though not perfect) by just keyframing the 'Curves' effect in After Effects. (I had better results with 'Curves' as opposed to 'Levels') See below:
The curves were keyframed from default to:
The top point is to blow out the whites, the middle ...

Click the output mode in the render queue, by default it says lossless:
use these settings, format: quicktime, video output channels: RGB + Alpha:
click format options and choose Apple ProRes 4444. The 4th 4 is the indicator that the codec has an alpha channel (this only applies to the Apple ProRes codec naming scheme).
That should fix your problem.

Without having seen the movie, it may be difficult to get it down exactly, but here is what I came up with.
Duplicate your layer twice, so that you have three copies.
On the top layer mask out the person.
Set the mask feather to around 30px.
Copy and paste the mask to the other two layers.
On the middle layer, set the mask feather to 60 and the mask ...

If you slow down the video you'll see what's going on, the apparent frame rate is ...

I'll take you through how to replicate the paint stroke effect in After Effects, as briefly as I am able. The artwork would have to be created seperately.
Hold tight, because this guide assumes you have some basic knowledge of After Effects.
I've broken it up into three parts. The paint stroke, the brush texture and putting it all together.
