Well it is no secret that sometimes I cut out little things from my tutorials. There are a lot of considerations when this happens. Usually for good reason, I don’t like to over complicate things with endless sidebars that make the tutorial seem convoluted or many other reasons such as:
- Effects that take too long
- Senselessness
- Not Humorous
- Sad and Disappointing
- Sake of Professionalism
- Rendering times (figure 2 minutes of rendering to 1 final)
- Corporate sponsors Like Coke & Pepsi, (not yet sponsors)
- Incoherent rambling and childish name-calling
Here are a few deleted scenes from the vault.
Watch Now
NOTE: I know it goes black for a sec towards the end.Long story, but it is part of the moving 3D lines tutorial.

Really great i enjoying it now!!
The google bit I thought was the best.
HAHAHAHA, I laughed like crazy at the start. Rofl AHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHA. Best joke ever! Still listening, BRB! ;p
Release a bloopers-scene, would be funny to see the masters mouth mess up or do something wrong ;p
Heh, nice … “aftershake” was best
That came out abit wrong, I mean: Give more bloopers. Love hearing all the funny stuff that can come out of that! : )
good to know that your human! Love it!
So thats what the girl.mov file was in the sky tutorial. I was thinking it was something your wife wouldn’t approve.
Is “gradiated” a real word??
Nice work, Andrew!
Lol excellent! this is so funny lol
I’m pretty sure that saying Refracting 3d Reflections is truly as harder to say than it may appear. lol. nice work Andrew.
Nice work as always Andrew!
Personally I would like to see more of the ‘Effects that take too long’..
A more advanced tutorial = a more fun tutorial =)
Hehe TuxedoKat, I was thinking the same thing. That Andrew was colorcorrecting his…dirty movies…
I’ll try to put out some more “advanced” stuff, but I do have to keep an even balance.
huhu ! I see that you spend crazy afternoon at home :p
Andrew – Keep an even balance? You’re soon upto 50 tutorials, and the tutorials scale nicely, so I don’t see a problem keeping on with the long more advanced tutorials.
That was pretty funny. Kind of puts me in the mood for a milkshock. Errr… I mean milkshake.
HAHAHA aftershake. God bless google lol. I bet 90% of people will search those words themselves.
Hahah that was funny
Thank you, Andrew! That was very funny and very informative at the same time. I think it’s the best video on videocopilot.net. I did know how to do a lightwrap in Photoshop for a still image but couldn’t find out how to achieve it in After Effects. And the stuff you showed with that Girl.mov brought me to some cool ideas. I never thought before to use a ramp with an adjustment layer to apply effects. So, thank you for listening to your community and bringing out this amazing blooper reel. Things like this makes you to the best tutor on the internet.
mmmh … if i say all your tutorials are boring … will you use more girl in there ?!
I don’t know what you drink Mr. K. but there’s some funny times.
Thx.
Perfect
Can you tell me the name of the neverending book? Mine all have endings….
Hahahahah!!! cool!! the meaning of life!!!
You are funny as jim carrey in 23… just kidding! You are really funny. Aftershake, aftershave…..no After Effects!
great! aftershake!
I think we should all lobby Adobe to change the “wiggle” command to “aftershake”.
You guys are cracking me up!
Yva? What happend, i thought we were friends…
Hey you ever actually got anything from your shamless plugs?
love this! you should do stand-up!
Aww **** LOL hilarious…
Sorry to double post, but I got two questions for you Andrew if you care to Andrew… When do you care to show some of your movies you made and could you talk to Kathlyn for me about my tutorials I submitted to the cow about a year or so ago, she said shes posting them, but they never got up there and I can’t get ahold of her.
-Scott
lol ![]()
thx andrew
Hey Andrew…
of course we are cracking you up. Hehe; if anyone is smart/intelligent and AT THE SAME TIME as funny – its you!.
And thats not a joke (saying it in your words
Personally what I liked best was the really creative jokes in the last two Tutorials (you know, 10000 miles of fishing string and 500 Laserpointers to blow up to moon = ROFL, LOL, ROFL)
Just wondering: How do you figure that out so make such jokiful tutorials? Are all those just Ideas of the second? Or do you collect them for the next one?
But nevertheless be careful: One day you have “your shirt turnes inside-out”
PS: Besides I found a market giving away free Computers (and the ones even YOU could not affort- not even in for stupidest dreams (which of course you have, I suppose
)
:D:D (Just remember your Promo-Tutorial for Filmmagig Pro ^^
Eheh funny but also useful, i found some useful tips too
ahhahahahahhahahhahahhahahahhahahhahahhaha…
SUPERB JUST SUPERB. !!!! ANDREW !!!! VERY VERY HELPFUL.
Now I’m absolutely clear abt Track Mattes. THANKYOU.
I REQUEST- MORE DELETED SCENES.
Superb — Keep up the amazing wrk.
U R THE BEST.
WARM REGARDS

Lol the never ending of the ever never ever ending book. I thought you were going to say never ending story lol. Atreyuuuuuuuuuuuu xD
The Eglish language is so funny. Andrew, you are funny!
LOOOOOL!!!! MAN, that was so GOOD!!!
It was informative AND funny, just like Videocopilot is supposed to be
LOL, looking forward to that girl tutorial, whatever it might be. Also, the first part was hilarious! THAT actually showed me the meaning of life!
Wiggle, aftershake… It’s all the same! But aftershock? :s
Ha ha, the ending just killed me.
I started to wonder what that “Girl”-thing was in the last tutorial. I must say I am disappointed.:P
keep up the good work
Wow…this is getting insane. Aftershake…haha. Andrew, you are crazy for sure!
40th posts WooHoo
Anyway, Funny stuff, felt some of the deleted stuff was actually very educational.
aftershake..hummm…i learn somenthing new today, im proud of that….heehehe

Your friend,

“Inconceivable!” =o
Good stuff… very informative and fun at the same time..
I liked the finger tapping cut while it was rendering… cause I do the exact same thing… I started laughing hard…
Mr. Kramer lets be clear here! Jim Carrey can hide in the mouse hole in front of you! I was just trying to be funny, sorry!
still…..interesting…..yet complicated……but still catchy!!!
keep it up master
Haha. That was good. By the way, you have a lot of plugins. Is furnace any good?
HAHAHAAHAHA Did you mean AFTERSHOCK?, yes I did xD AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LMAOOOOOO
Inhuman
“the Room where you’re caugh by the cops”-pretty nice
Lol Andrew, the refraction one is hilarious
It must be my computer, it looks as if somebody exceeded their post box with a bunch of ha ha’s.
How is this possible? “Inconceivable!†=o
Very nice !!!! thank you andrew !
ps : If one day you create a dvd with all tutorials, you can put this video in bonus section !
After Shake…Hmmm, sounds to me like an Adobe/Apple software merger. Maybe they’ll do After Motion, too. Funny stuff, AK.

It’s not just your computer Sam, I see it too. Andrew probably snuck into your place and messed with computer though, lol.
^ right after he filmed you getting hit in the nuts while you were sleeping
Yea Sam. Someone broke your blog
Does anyone else feel dirty after watching the deleted scenes?
great stuff… by the way, does anyone know how i can get fonts into after effects? I got this beautiful Predator font but cant use it, so does anyone know how i can get this font into after effects? thanks in advance
Andrew youre “taking over the world” plan is actually working. Wikipedia is even mentioning you now, go to [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_After_Effects[/url] and look at the plug-ins!!
Aftershake sounds like a nice thing to drink lonely Friday nights… or maybe a beforeshake, after which you shake your ass AND just THEN get an aftershake…
rejuvenation potions = wiggle effect
what logic
LOL!!!
how come when you typed
aftershock in Google it was already
searched before? hahaha
anyways, funny stuff
That’s why Videocopilots rules!!! yea baby!!!!
I am going to name my first born “After Shake” It’s strong but gentle. Plus it’s unisex so it could be a boy or girl. Thanks for making my morning less crappy, now back to the grind.
The ha-ha overflow is messed u-p because of the ha ha’s being one word. For the render engine this means no linebreak. If it was like hahahahahah haha(mention the whitespace) then your browser would have applied a linebreak.
fix for IE: add in css: word-wrap: break-word;
Firefox wraps whenever it can AFTER a whitespace. so big bug, know for years, dno why it’s never fixed.
This fix doesn’t comply to W3C rules and therefore stay away from it
Opera seems to handle it fine I guess.
Your sense of humor is why i keep coming back, ohh and the great training.
haha, nice. the “aftershake”
lightwrap is gonna be so useful for blending an actor(shot infrnt of a greenscreen) with the bg..
…I love aftershake ohh i mean after effect and its felxibility!! hahaha
Aftershake was the best, also the Refracting Reflacting was great.
Output MOAR Bloopers.
Hey what’s up Djeki Bidjerano here
In my room

And its dark
Just about out of electricity
Need to find the candle
Ive been in the attic all day reading a book

It never ends
Its an endless book
The story never ends
Its about this brave Knight
That never ends
-anyways
*bleep*
hey, tnx for the tip….
LOL!! MAN!! i love the google bit. haha. really funny. keep it up =)
Neeraj
I was hoping for the mid-week tutorial..
I thought you might post that up today.. but i guess not.. mmmhh.. hint.. (please)
I’m bored and my g/f is at a fashion show and I’m needing something to do/make…
some inspiration.. maybe… just.. well.. anything..
In the last video you said you can not control the wiggle that it is always shaking. Im sure you know this but you can control it if you link the wiggle expression to a expression controller such as a slider. Just thought I’d bring this up. Hope you don’t think I’m a smart ass. Good stuff like always
forums…
Ahaha…’After Shake’
…Classic Kramer
very funny~
3d refraction fawk…
hey I find aftershake good
Brillant! Thanks for lighting my day
“it’ like a book without end, it’s an endless …. book”
(X
i just can’t stop laughing.
Awesome! Keep the jokes coming!
Apologies for posting a query – can Andrew or anyone reading this please point to tutorials showing how to create a Flash carousel similar to the one done in the Products page of Videocopilot?
Thanks in advance
First comment in the website…
Great stuff Andrew, the initial part remids me of Monty Python!!!
Thanks for everything!!!
I just want to say to all these people that came here to visit the Andrew Kramer’s web:
Just buy the DVD’s, it worth it!!!!!!!!!
I have bought all of them and I am really happy!!!!
Help Andrew keep this web working on!!!!
By the way, I do not know Andrew and I am not his friend, but I would like…
Comprad los DVD’s,merece la pena!!!!!
Yo he comprado todos y es lo mejor que he podido hacer!!!!!
Comprando los DVD’s ayudamos a Andrew a mantener la página!!!!!
Por cierto no soy amigo, ni conozco a Andrew aunque me gustaria
Love from Spain,
Carlos
i love andrew , and his tutorials .
when he teach something he has positive energy and every body who listens to it like it .
that’s really great .
if u don’t understand me , just buy Gnomon’s boujou training DVD . and after 5 minutes u’ll be sleep on ur desk right infront of computer .
thanks andrew for ur great tutorials
I have to say that Mehrad is right ! Lot of video tutorials I have seen was sooooo boringgggg … soporiphic voice …
Maybe some on Creative Cow are nice but at this time, tell me who is as good as Andrew ? ok, Andrew, we are friends
agree with Mehrad,lynda’s sucks,totaltraining is toooooo long and boring~Andrew is the best from now on
That was something… Like Bloopers, or WaTTS on Eurosport
Man I love you, I wish I was a female xD
Lynda.com also doesnt offer this kind of training. They cover the basics of the program. They also have a “title techniques” dvd, but they’re kinda lame.
Andrew Kramer can school them any day of the week.
HEY, Heres and Idea. Maybe Andrew Kramer should do a Lynda.com Training DVD, and up their standards a bit haha

Hey Drew, is it okay if I call you Drew? I posted a short thanks to all the folks here at ‘Copilot for checking out my blog over the past couple of days. Thanks to your site and this blog, I went from 10 hits a day to 700 plus! I know it’s probably no where near what you get in a day, but it’s pretty amazing to me how awesome that it! Cheers!
Bones
Hey that was a treat! Hmm google search “After Shake” I mean After Shock. Thanks for letting us behind the scenes.
Thanks again,
Jacob Aaron
@bones
That new video of Mr. Barringer is nice.. i noticed that your lightwrap layer was several px higher than the rest of the comp… (it might be a different layer…)
sorry if you meant for that.. it was just going above the letterbox..
Hey Andrew, Sam & everybody.
I feel sorry 4da bunch of ha ha’s I posted yesterday, I did’nt mean anything wrong, it was my mistake.
Anyways SORRY Everybody & I apologize for my Mistake
Thnx & Regards
Sandy
@ Dustin James, actually that’s not light wrap. My dumbass exported the video out from AE at a different size than what I exported it at in Final Cut. So what youre actually seeing are the black bars from my first export. I must have had the black bars when I brought it into AE and added the lighting effects onto pof it so it looks lighter. wont happen again hopefully
thanks for checkin out Berringer. Were doing some more shooting in 2 weeks. Expecting some big things for this project. I cant wait to share it with everybody. Stay tuned!
@Sandy
now go to your room…
… and no After Effects for 2 weeks!
How about a tutorial on broadcast colors…final output to dvd, tape or whatever to be able to get the best quality possible…..I always seem to edit something and it looks awsome on the computer…I put it on a dvd to check it out on tv and I am like What the hell happened. It looks nothing like it did on the computer.
that was great, its really good to see that you make mistakes just like we do. I had an image of you being an after effects programmed robot lol
Thanks for all the great info.
One question: What are you shooting these videos on? HD?, HDV?, Mini-Dv?
Did I say one question–cause I meant two!
When I try tracking I have the hardest time finding a point that doesn’t become blurry at some point and throws the tracker off–I shoot on a Panasonic DVX100A 24P advanced.
Any ideas?
Thanks again–this site is why the internet doesn’t suck!
I use HDV JVC HD200
You some times have to track by hand moving the cross-hair as needed. Or larger track points.
Andrew cross hair’s are for first person shooters like counter strike, were not playing them right now gosh.
haha Andrew, my god laughed so hard when you started with the google search on “aftershake” haha genious
lol i couldnt stop laughing at the refraction part lol nice work andrew love it all keep it up man
Hey Andrew, What screen recorder do you use? I have been looking around for a while, and it looks like you have a good one.
Thanks,
Asher Kaye.
lol
Thank you for sharing!
I’m late, I guess I missed this blog
hehe
why are they deleted? I want to see that stuff!
Darn, it says it can’t find the page
I say them before but I wanted to see them again. *sigh*

ITS GONE!
