cant wait…

a better one? hmmmmm? Should be interesting

Looking forward to it andrew, but curse this slow temporary internet of mine!

Sweetness!!!! These just get better and better!!!

i wish you could tell us how to make a green screen… with things you can get at a walmart or something

Cant wait, when is the ipod versions of tutorials coming?

Better one? Can’t wait! When will you release it? ; )

come-on! I waited an entire day just to get a post like this? lol

Looking forward to whatever you treat us with, Andrew!

Well do you want a heads up or a cloud of mystery?

Aww poop, gotta grab scooby because this is another mystery.

-Scott

Wo wait. Day to Night is good! In fact its … by the Gods, it is BETTER. For the love of Mother Nature do the Day to Night man

I CHOOSE the mystery box. He says its better then day and night.

the mystery box could be anything,.

i think mystery would be cool cuase we have no idea what kind a mystery he is working on .maybe indiana kramer 5. the hidden tutorial.

We’ll still get to the day to night but trust me the mystery tutorial is what you want. Trust me, ha ha ha ha!!!

do you know how long till its up?

Yes, but I’d rather not say just in case there is a delay…

Gotta love the evil mystery laugh………

BTW, Andrew…I want to send you an email regarding something in the future…Is the contact e-mail the best way to get in touch?

If anyone wants a good cheap greenscreen go to party city and buy the green tablecloth things they are plastic and are pretty cheap.

Aaaahhhh… I was kinda relying on you for that Day to Night tutorial man! Now that’s just scary =)
I’ve got a project at the moment that needs it!
Oh well… still really looking forward to the mystery tutorial. No hard feelings =)

WOA WOA WOA. NOT SO FAST PEOPLE.

the day to night tutorial is a day to night tutorial,
but the mystery tutorial could be anything.
IT COULD EVEN BE THE DAY TO NIGHT TUTORIAL!
you know how much we’ve wanted one of those.

WE’LL TAKE THE MYSTERIOUS TUTORIAL!

haha and in case you dont know where thats from,
ALL YOU NON-FANS;
family guy (:

bring on the mystery andrew.

Another Good cheap green screen is the “Royal Brites” brand of florescent poster paper. Walmart sells them for about $0.90 a sheet.

you can also find them Here:
http://www.theroyalstore.com/index.php?cat=23&p=58&ccat=8

Its great because the paper is cheap, so you can use it on places where it gets dirty, and you can cut it down to any shape you want. the only issue I had with it was light “hot spots” where the lights were overexposing the paper. I just moved the lights further away and it worked fine.

I hope it includes simulated wet surfaces and reflections!

Mysterious andrew, aslong as the tutorial isnt about how to make somthing look mysterious…

GGGAAA!!! ANDREW I JUST WANT TO PUNCH YOU!!! ANOTHER SECRET! Lol you fill everyone with so much anticipation until they burst like I just did. Dang you are sure good at that! CANT WAIT!!!!!

Hey Andrew, maybe you could still do your day for night idea at another time, but maybe fill it out with tips on both day for night and dry for wet.

Stuff like using Particular to add “underwater particulate” matter to slowed/time remapped footage, underwater light falloff, etc…

….or not:)

Hey uhm I don’t know where to post this, but the tigerdirect guys they are from tigerdirect.com looks like they used one of your tutorials http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kne1f9WJUiA

great!!! I Can’t wait!!!!

Another BETTER green screen and still CHEAP (cost wise) is
to go to a local fabric store and look for a roll of lime-green fabric.
choose how much you want and they’ll cut it for you. put some metal rings in it at the top, and put some hooks in the ceiling and hang it. Put 2 or 3 flood lights from a local hardware store and you’re set! Just make sure the subject is AT LEAST 2 feet away from the scren (so it wont cast any shadows).

Visit my new website:

and of course:

joey, if you want to punch andrew in the face, you know hell use sam loya with a big sticker on him saying joey and do somthing mean to him, lol

seriously tho, punch a ball a couple times, draw a face on a baloon and punch it, i dunno

@ Han:
Check this site out

http://www.jushhome.com/Bluescreen/Bluescreen.html

I’m not trying to set myself up for failure, but I can safely say this is going to be one of the best tutorials of all time.
Now that’s anticipation ; )

Looking forward to the new tutorial, I REALLY need a good day to night tutorial for a film I am shooting in mid August, I hope you have it up by then great work so far!

that is anticipation indeed.

fricken awesome!

[can i say fricken?]

oh yeah!

better than earth zoom?
hmm thats damn good

its probably the day to night tut but hes just making it better lol

is it how to win a million dollar or the tips and tricks on how to get a job with Industrial Light nad Magic hihi okay not good in humour..anyways day to night can wait..the surprise seems too good to be missed…
For people who needs to do day to night..the baic thing abt it is.. motion track ur scene, change color to blueish, saturate it a bit, and put on lights(that is why we have to track the motion) on the street, coming from within the house, car headlights etc…but im sure Andrew got some useful tricks up his sleeves..anyways i cant wait!!

It’s not the day to night, although tutorial is going to be great. Even though John is pretty much right on I guess I’ll still make it for next time.

AK

What the…? (the way worms used to say it when the see a graenade in worms armaggedon or whatever)

Lemme recheck… YOU are saying that THIS tutorials is going to be the best SO FAR? Are you outta your mind?! This is… no, no, no… this is impossible! What? I still can’t believe it…

HE WANTS OUR BRAINS! PUT YOUR TINFOIL HATS ON, PEOPLE!

Oohh, i got something to ask you. Why don’t you make the
09 Speed Up After Effects with Proxies
tutorial link directly to the swf page? Not that going through the creativecow site is hard or anything, but just to make it the same as with other tuts.

See ya.

man stop teasing Bring it ! D

Good to listen that Andrew!

I made coffee, got some crispy oven breads,

andrew, just to let you know i am not sleeping :]

keep up the good work, oh and to all, a good work week!

im in australia, its almost 7pm… that means i might have to wait until tomorrow to watch the mystery tutorial :(…anyway

thanks andrew for ur effort! all ur tutorials are excellent man. ive learned alot from ya!

Noooooooooooo , i really need the day to night tutorial. Please i beg you
do the day to night tutorial , its important .

About 1 and a half week ago you said that the day to night would be realesed. One week later you realese sky tutorial, and now youre going to realese some mysteri tutorial? WE NEED DAY TO NIGHT.

C’mon Andrew what is the mystery tutorial??????
Is it VFX or GFX????
When will you publish it?

Hey everybody see this video and comment it!
We are family remebre that!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-ADhwaCjYA

to Jimmy:
if you need ‘day to night’ to one of your project
try RedGiant’s Magic Bullet Suit for AE. one click and its done!
this is the fastest way (but it costs $800).
the other (and maybe the better, and cheapest) way is to wait for andrew’s tutorial

so andrew where can i send you a truck full of beer?
oh sorry… you have a wife… no drinkin’ then!
maybe next time…

best wishes!
Péter

Is it gonna come today?? man I really can’t wait. I’m gonna sit here all day if I have to. bring it on.

gr. tesssam

refresh …. is my job today
Andrew ….. you are the best

Cmon awesome tutorial, dont let me down!!!!

Andrew you better not let us down, MAKE it the best tutorial of all time!

VFX! And I just finished recording It. It is pretty long…

The Day to Night one is great and all but trust me you want to see this one first.

Andrew, could you give us a hint on what it is?

I hope it has somthing to do with invisibility, ive looked into it myself, but never seen an extremely great example

hmm.. what about those morphing thingies. i dont know how to explain it..err like morphing one guys face to another or from one action sequence (of guys face) then zooms out into a different scene… or something.

C’mon Andrew, when is it going to be up?
We can handle delays, uncertainty is the worst thing.

Ooohh… love the time zone, its early afternoon here, so it’ll be quite on time Just before i go watch thath new Transformers movie

Awesome Andrew! I didn’t really need the day to night tutorial YET, so i can’t wait for ‘the better one’

hi from New zealand its 10.40 p.m here have to wait to tomorrow—–
TRUST ME you say!!!!!!!!!!!!….my girlfriend said that, now i’m a dad of two……………………great tutorials andrew thanks…awaiting your wistom

I suspect your tutorial to have something to do with the new puppet tool, right?
Animating characters and all that.

It’s a very useful tool, like if you need someone to get run over by car..
You could use the puppet tool to shape the actors body so it bends over the hood and stuff like that.

it’s VFX …. no one can imagine or predict what Andrew will do.
don’t waste your time to know the surprise, just relax and wait.

Oh I’m relaxed, I’m just writing because I feel like it.
I’m allowed to do that right, or will you take that away from me?

I’m allowed to do that right, or will you take that away from me?

i didn’t mean anything ….. just talk to you.

andrew i really want to see a tutorial on motion graphics something similar to this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EaglZAN4fU

im talking about the beginning because i know that the rest of the video was almost everything done in 3d

thanks and i hope some people will back me up on this and it will convince to record a tutorial

peace!

I’d better hurry up, tension is running high

I love it. It’s coming today.

Can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait…..argh!

The mother of all tutorials!!!

But please, please do the day4night next, cause we are shooting a horror flick atm and most of it’s night footage is/ will be shot during the day/dusk!

You’re doing a great job Andrew and I really look forward to this new footage collection you’re doing. I’ll buy that for sure!

I’d better hurry up, tension is running high

i think you can solve this problem and put your tutorial.
HURRY UP Andrew ….

forgot to mention i cant wait for the new tutorial

andrew your the best

Something fun to do while you wait for the tutorial…
http://www.simpsonizeme.com/

These things take a while, I’m not sitting on a pile of tutorials and slowly releasing them to tease you. I only announce them when they are imminent. But occasionally something great comes along and takes priority over the queue.

Andrew, we know thats not what your doing, but we also know that you love it when it happens, cuz you can see us guessing away at what it will be, and although our attempts are practically futile, they make you feel proud because you know that you have thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people that respect you and your tutorials, and that is why wee sleep well at night, knowing that you think about us because of this blog.

Hey andrew, while we wait, do you watch any anime? and if so what is your favorite?

Skip other priority (expect birth of child) and release the tutorial !!!!!!

andre, while we speak he is probably uploading it, remember he still needs to get project files ready, and web graphics aswell before he makes the final release

Andrew Akbar!

Sandy

AK is the BEST!

I hope it will have invisibility, mainly because i want to improve my techniques on it.

Some Smallville FX would be great.
On net there is 0 tutorials about Smallville FX!
I hope AK will be my GOD!

Let us worship!

Hey you guys, im getting a greenscreen with my capture card, should get it within a week or two, its 5 x 6 foot, what do you think, big enough?

YEA!How much did you pay for it?

Hey please comment this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-ADhwaCjYA#GU5U2spHI_4

Its a pinnacle sys movie board plus, costs about 150 usd on the site(I think, ill check)

nice video m8:) I liked the force field around you, how did you do that?

Oh BTW moca, the Kamehama is good, i love the aura, best ive seen so far

a small joke:
Andrew Kramer’s nick, when he’s 47 years old: AK47

OK heres a link, 149.99 usd, i was extremely close, which is a first O.o
http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Products/Consumer+Products/Home+Video/Studio+Family/Studio+MovieBoard+Plus

btw for the greenscreen chat, you can buy cheap greenscreen for new beginners at http://www.tubetape.com, i bought my first greenscreen there and it’s very cheap. There is one problem with the greenscreen they have and that is screen is made out of some sort of plastic and it easily rips when you put it on a wall:) Peace out

Hey thx you could comment it on youtube.
Hm i could make tutorial?

I used particle illuson for aura and did a lot of distorting.
Have any ideas to make it more better?

LOL, AK47 Muhahahaha!

andrew, i want you to gun down sam loya with an ak47 on that day, that will be the coolest birthday present ever for yourself lol

thx for Links Peter

Damn this blog is active, i keep needing to reply to people

@titso, It looks good but i think 5 x 6 foot greenscreen fabric will do, i might consider buying an extra 2 foot for the floor so i have more space to show my feet

My head will blow!
Just like in AME tut.

Release it allready! Starving for tutorials here. Thanks for the help last night with the camera and all, appriciate it!

Ok lets all calm down, it will be released when its released, i gtg to sleep cuz i have school tomorow +guitar(Cant miss out tomorow, ive already missed a few sessions and im the best of the class)

Cya.

I think it will be realeased… 6:35 am XD

It seems Andrew has picked up a stalker

WE WANT DAY TO NIGHT FFS

cloud of mystery tut!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Woke up early for this one. I expect my F-5 button to stop working soon, anyone know where to get a replacement? JK

I…I.. I can’t wait, i need to get a glass of coke or somethin..

Tommorows newspapers title:

“Online blog led to the mysterious kidnapping of A. Kramer!

An internet user (whose name we shall not quote) kidnapped mr Kramer last night, because of the user’s high anticipation of an article Kramer would publish the same day. He threatens to not release him if A. Kramer doesn’t accept to publish this article ASAP. Further indormation in tommorows issue.”

Anrew I hope for your safety that is gonna be the BEST TUTORIAL EVER…. if it is not…. well I think you’ll have some guests…..

Great news! Now I have to sit in front of my computer and wait instead of doing some important work that need to be done. Just great…

Hmm Andrew I’ll will be there to protect you.

Wao…did you guys wake up so early just for the tutorial???? I’m italian and here it’s 3.30 p.m….. You are really fans…

I hope it’s not one of your jokes, Andrew, and the title of the tutorial is not “Introduction to After Effects Part 2″ or “Advanced Frame Rate Conversion”.

I’m on it

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO….. when i wrote that i was exactly thinking of THAT scene!!!!!

whoa! Adnrew just sent me a preview of his upcoming mystery tutorial over the top secret encrypted VCP (video co-pilot) Network Messenger! Its about the Mysterious M, and how to recreate it… i’m so… aarghhh can’t wait!

P.S. Andrew, they moved the simpsons premiere from springfield Oregon to Springfield Vermont. Matt Groening is from Oregon, and I am very angry they are moving it. I had a chance to go to the premiere!

Trivia: Why are the simpsons yellow?

Where does Principal Skinner get his name?

My coffee is cold now
but i am hyped!

i suggest to first upload, then post “new tutorial”

might be the coffee though

to keep things jolly

how many motion designers you need to fix a light bulb?

I just woke up, I’m here on the east coast. Come on Andrew!! It’s killing me man!

I don’t need coffee or red bull because here in Belgrade it is 3:48 PM!
Muhahahahah

I’m on the East Coast as well and I’m right with mark, where’s the new Tutorial?

wondering if i’m the only austrian in here…

@ Mind Drop Studios
They are yellow beacouse Matt Groening wanted you to think your TV don’t work well… and principal Skinner stole the name from his colonel (i think) in Vietnam, his real name is something like Tanzania

im aussie… i aint goin to sleep.. ive been waiting since i got back from uni today.. im watchin this tonight!

lol.. maybe i should.. i misread wat michi said :P… thought he said australian..

Okay, i´m not from Austria, but im from Germany^^
03:54 PM
I hope it´ll come out in the next hours…but the end of my day is still far away.
Anyway I don´t want wo wait till tomorrow:P
Get it up Andrew!!

# VI54 Says

One, plus his software

Thats if he can work while its dark, cause he prefers to vfx fix the bulb

People, those who are whining for Andrew to make Day for Night first, try to make the effect with the tips he’s already released!

Come on! Mystery tutorial! Can’t wait!

FOR REAL, CAN’T WAIT

@lebnash
yeah, this is why (mostly) american tourists always believe that there are kangaroos in austria. kangaroos and mozart, thats what they want to see

http://www.ivfilms.net/resources/DaytoNight_Tut/DaytoNight.html

day for night… though i like AK’s voice much more. And AK would have a diff approach and really break it down for us.

Now hand over the mystery one!

I live in Eugene Oregon, which is right across the river from Springfield, and is the Shelbyville that they make fun of in the show. If you go from Eugene to springfield, you will notice all of the street lights are a bright yellow, hence the Yellow Simpsons. (No, I’m not making this up). The founder of Eugene (Shelbyville) was a trapper named Eugene Skinner. And we have a Skinner’s Butte here in town. Just thought those were cool trivia facts.

@ Michi

Lol, thats true… last time i was to Austria, i went to Salzburg (sp?) in one of the souvenier shops i saw a yellow patch saying “Austia - No kangaroos” and a crossed kangaroo on it. It was dope

Schon wieder die Österreicher mit ihren Kängurus…

can’t wait…

@Some Guys
WOW…dachte nicht das ich hier jemas ein Kommentar in meiner Sprache finde:)
Ich wkanns nicht mehr abwarten…ich brauche ein Tut!!!
Can´t wait (like everybody is saying here)

@ Some Guy

Errr, yeah, whatever you said

lol

My OS just shut down, after showing me a msg saying that i was doing nothing except staring at this website

Андрю Креймър

Thats how you write Andrew Kramer in my language.

I never was in Austria, but I’m sure I gonna visit it someday.

is that greek otherwise?

@some guy

woher kommst du denn?

I thought Austrians speak German or “Austrian German”.

In my language you write Andrew Kramer “Эндрю Крэмер”.
