VIDEO COPILOT BLOG News, Updates, Projects Files & Tips |
|
Some of our Video Copilot customers have been taking our products to new levels. Through all of the emails I have received with video links, it is great to see them helping so many.
I had an idea to create a customer reel, but I think it would be easier if people posted videos on “free” sites like youtube.com and link them here.
Todd at Ripley’s used Designer sound FX for world record video:
http://www.ripleys.com/
It is the video with guy trying to hold the airplanes off (top right).
Ben is a finalist in the John Woo Contest with “Rivals”:
http://www.myspace.com/strangleholdgame
He used a few VC products so be sure to vote for him, or your favorite one ; ) Remember we are a family here.
I know there are many other great videos I have received, so please repost them here for everyone to see. This is your chance to show us your stuff (not literally). And don’t worry, we have all used the free tutorials to make videos ; ) I mean, who hasn’t blown their head off?
Of course I encourage you guys & gals to go beyond the basic tutorials and apply the principals from all of them to your own projects and videos.
On a side note, when I make a free tutorial I don’t mind if they are used professionally or in your own work. In fact I encourage it. If it helps you make some money or win a contest, all the better.
I’ve seen some Video Copilot stuff in news promos, show promos on the BBC, ABC, CBS and many other places on TV. If you have a link to VC in action please feel free to post it here as well.
Remember to keep the videos PG-13, fake violence is okay, of course.
So clearly buying Video Copilot products will only make you a better person, more productive and more attractive to beautiful women OR if you are a female, beautiful Men AND Women ; )
So you know what to do
NOTE: Be careful about using your own pay hosting to link videos, because you may get smashed with a bill.






















Finally! First to Post. I’ve been trying to be first since this blog started and finally it has happened! I’m so ecstatic! Thanks for all the cool products and tutorials, Kramer…you rock!
What the heck, I think I”m first to post here. I was just checking in.
Well, I’ve used your stuff Andrew as you already know because I’ve sent it to you.. Here is a the trailer for my movie, “Despondent”. This uses some Riot Gear Elements, a lot of Designer FX and some adjusted Film Magic Pro. The rest, that’s all us
It’s in the Download section of the website… Enjoy!

CRAP ONE POST LATE!!! Well anyway here is my Show reel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmnK-aToMhU
and a sweet Call of Duty Live action I made as well
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JP7kJ9TgRsY
and of course a videocopilot classic
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS3j_RrLDWQ
Hey Joe,
Great stuff again. Can’t wait to see more.
Oooh, I gotta post some stuff when I am done recovering my harddrive, lost 500gb of stuff because of a HD failure! Also, great stuff above. Sweet to see others explore the possabilities of the prdoucts and tutorials!
Alright here is a video that used a lot of Tutorials and Sounds from the Designer Sound FX DVD. The Intro and Outro have a lot of Andrew References.
http://files.filefront.com/USI+Intro+Video+15+High+Res/;8050566;;/fileinfo.html
I’ll be making a breakdown of how I did the heat wave effect soon.
Here is a demo reel I made a week ago for an internship.
http://serveio.com/icefields/demo-reel.html
Also Andrew, in the Designer Sound FX dvd (or Riot Gear) you have a dust cloud on there that was fantastic but no where on the DVD is it explained how its made. I know it’s got to be Fractile Noise and using evolution some how and a large Solid layer. I can’t get it to evolve the way you did. Anyway it was a great clip but much to short (6 seconds). Any chance a short how it was done could surface?
Here’s a few things I did. A trailer, some quick shots, and a summer promo.

Clinton, I love the one where u are walking up the stairs like a zombie. Great stuff!
Bones
oops…forgot the summer promo. I thought it was on my myspace but i got rid of it. oh well ill post it another time. Cheers!
Hey Andrew,
I’m working on my Reel & will post the link as soon as it is done.
I think it will take a bit time to complete it.
Anyways, always thanking you for your TUTS otherwise it was not possible for me to make my REEL.
Thanx & Regards
Sandy

thats the only one i really used with your products, i didnt have a fake gun tho.
also i did a heat haze effect on youtube, and since then ive seen heaps of videos with heat waves lol, probably just coincidence but who knows, mayby i had to discover a simple way to do the effect on my own to see other people do it to
This one I’ve done for our corporate international festival (I am still trying to break into the professional film industry) and I am now in the top 5 and going to the final in Australlia in 10 days. YEY!
Can’t tell of the exact examples of VCP tuts that I used in the film, but it wouldn’t be what it is without Andrew’s inspiration. Bugger I had vary limited time and don’t even own a camera.
Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpoxTEczM58
Yeah, I used alot of your tutorials..Thank you so much!!
Here’s my website (that nobody goes to):
http://www.et-films.net
I have about 29 short videos on my youtube page:
http://www.youtube.com/thegunslinger3k
I have lots of stuff from this site. Some of the stuff is up to 4 years old so don’t judge too harshly please.
I think this is a great idea, and I am always impressed at how amazing most peoples work is on here. I can’t wait to see peoples stuff!!!
I love the tutorials, I always try them out. Here are my personal tries at some of the tutorials.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=y1IN_Dszy18
http://youtube.com/watch?v=0TUOsjmW_Fo
Couldn’t have done this without your awesome work and dedication you put into this site.
Thank you!
hey andrew, was surfin the net when i came across this amazing animation.
http://xplsv.tv/movie.php?id=1305 first thing that popped in my mind was to forward it to our copilot compadre.
htt://www.youtube.comxl2hitman thanks to andrew kramer the man who inspired me to work with AE and use his easy products.
Our own “assisted suicide” version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzW2JGHCMS8
hope all of you can enjoy it!
These tutorials are great. I made use of tutorial #23 “Moving 3D Lines” for a short video on a website I built.
http://www.builttolast.org
Click on the “About” link on top.
On a side note:
Andrew, let me know if you’re curious on how to get rid of the “Click to activate and use this control” that is always associated with flash items. There are a couple work-arounds and it creates a seemless look for your website.
Other then that, keep up the great work. I’m blown away by what you’re capable of.
Great stuff.
Rick, thanks, I actually have that code somewhere, I should integrate it with the HTML files… I just never use Internet Explorer so I don’t see it everyday.

tell me wut u guys think.
I have lot of promos and movies but I have to upload them. I have 2 on youtube.. BUT THEY’RE IN SPANISH ( REVELATIONS OF HELL, its a DOCUMENTAL movie) and the other one is a MATRIX USING CHROMA KEY.
Thanks to JESUSCHRIST and Andrew Kramer

hey fersh0 estan muy bien tus promos, nunca imagine los efectos de AK en algo relacionado con la religion, pero estan muy bien echos, te felicito…de donde eres???
saludos desde chihuahua,mexico…
I actually saw a commercial for a show on ABC I think, maybe CBS…not sure the show but I did notice they used riot gear. They used your in drop.
Charles I will use my skills from Spanish 2 class to translate:
Hey Fresh0 your promos are very good, I never imagined those effects with religion were from Andrew kramer. They are very good examples, where are you from?
Best wishes from chihuahua, Mexico
; )
Hrm..I’d have to post my own reel soon
Well, this isn’t really based on any of the tutorials… But the 3D room tut opened my eyes to the three-dimensional capabilities of AE and I ended up creating this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=wOwLTrhKYBQ
I’ve also used reflections, and fly-by text effects in various promo videos. And of course, ever since watching your videos, I pretty much use a feathered black eliptical mask on everything I do now…
Here’s my online demo, not a lot of VC stuff but lot’s of compositing advice from Andrew. The body of the demo is just a single Photoshop file with every image on a seperate layer and pushed forward and back in z-space, then a single camera move. I dropped in video clips when appropriate.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEF4rq68VU4
It’s 1:13. Hope you enjoy!
I love Andrew Kramer!
joe i dont like the idea of downloading your film to be able to watch them is there away to see them without downloading .it taks space and time man .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jlu-o-kyfMw
Thanks Anrew you have opened my eyes, i hope you will make my rich too.
@ blair
Awesome Video!
Tip: if you add some 2d images of an actual city in the background, it will add another dimension of realism. If it is done right, you can’t tell the difference between the 2-d and 3-d buildings. They did kind of the same thing for a promo for the Chicago Film Festival.
Here are some of my works done with af, that wouldnt be possible without Andrew Kramer tutorials

I made this video about a fictious guitar label:
http://www.hs-films.de/jagstang_werbespot/rc1/
All this work including to have parts of the video black&white and other coloured was done by myself. As you can see here:
http://www.hs-films.de/screencapture/2/
Nearly everywhere i had text in the video i used a free BG video from VideoCoPilot.net that came with Serious Effects.
If anyone has a question please contact me @ hs-films@lycos.de
I saw a blood spatter from your work in the movie “The Departed” with Jack Nicholson in the begining at the 4th min. when the lady got shot in the head

Hey Andrew & all who posted their reels yet,
thanks for those nice videos and inspirations. They all look very cool and personally give me some new input
The last 10 months we did a short movie and i used a lot of stuff i’ve learned from those tuts here @ videocopilot.net.
It’s a german short movie, but if you’re intrested you can download it as a x264 encode with english subtitles.
Here’s the promoclip for that movie:
http://www.videocommunity.com/pc/pc/mypics/528/display/4326
Here’s the movie itself (no subtitles, german audio):
http://www.videocommunity.com/pc/pc/mypics/528/display/4503
Here the x264 with english subtitles:
http://moebius.moebius-films.de/download/moebius_final_x264.zip (100 MB)
I used Riot Gear and Desginer Sound FX for the promo and the short intro for the movie. The “big” one (after ~ 1 min) was made with riot gear. All the other musicstuff was done by a german synthi pop band called beborn beton.
Hope you like it
@ Mind Drop Studios
Thanks! Great tip! Will definitely have to try that out sometime… Though I just recently had a HDD crash and lost a bunch of stuff, including that project file
.
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt it’s that you can always count on technology to screw you over at the most inopportune times…
Which FLV-player is that on the Ripley site? I see it is the same as the one you’re using here on videocopilot.net – but no where to be found on the great net of inter..
What is it called, or better – where do I get it?
Here is a quick Cinema 4D modelling thing I did
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzfU4HDv_DU&NR=1
Hey, Andrew, or anyone else. Do you guys know where I can get a video camera with manual focus, but isn’t too expensive. Basically, I just need a cheap consumer video camera, that has good manual focus. That’s all I’m really looking for.
Clancy.. You asked and so shall receive. I don’t care as much for the Youtube Experience for quality reasons. I always prefer and give folks the option to download my work because I want the best quality shown of course. But hey, I hear ya and here is the youtube version. Does anyone know what format a film needs to be in to show up as 16×9 on youtube? My one trailer is somehow stretched, looks goofy. Weird.

Well, there’s actually a lot of stuff I have done thanx to Videocopilot, but it’s all in spanish… And not everything is uploaded to YouTube or something like that.
Videocopilot will always be my best teacher, though!
THANKS, ANDREW!!!
Wow…I go on vacation for 6 days and when I come back Andrew has taken over the free world…or wait, well, at least changed the sky, changed day and night, and converted to myspace (no offense but, eewww). I’m going to have to finish my website overhaul or get some videos on youtube and post them on here.
To everybody on here, great work on your vids, they all pretty dang sweet!
To Andrew, thanks for hooking us up with this knowledge!
Looking forward to your next great tutorials…..
First time on here. Just to let you know, I work for the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (Go Vols!), and I used the tutorial on Moving 3D Lines to create new endings to the videos we Produce at UTSports and UTLadyVols.com. You have to watch the whole video to see them at the end. Your tutorials are great and I hope we can purchase some of your products for the football season. Thanks!

Andrew,
Thanks for the tut’s and the inspiration you give all of us to all of us to take the next step up in the all ready tough biz that we all work in
Here is a small piece that you and your tutorials inspired me to push my editing to another level.

Thanks to all mexican people for visiting Video Copilot, GREAT PRODUCT , I have the 7 PACK BUNDLE and you can do AMAZING things with them!
We entered into the Yahoo Canada Whistler Filmmaker Showdown, 72 hour short film comp, we got into the finals, but its a trailer so obviously they are going to give it to the winning film. Anyways we used some VC stuff mainly Riot Gear / Action Essentials and I believe Film Magic Pro..cant remember. any case, here’s a link, please check it out.

action comedy in the essence of lethal weapon, beverly hills cop or the newly released Hot Fuzz.
Just wanted to thank A. Kramer for all the stuff you teach. I first heard of you from creativecow and been watching ever since.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ty_6pd_dDEc
I have other vids on there but this is the one where I attempted to use SFX
Thx
hi everyone!
thanks andrew for all your knowledge and good stuff,BTW here are some of my videos please watch it http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=zistudiovfx
!Viva México!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is a more specific example of one of your tuts in action. I am not very proud of the commercial because the company I did it for had some very poor ideas (in my opinion) that they insisted on.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6aBvJe_z2U
I used the light streaks, and they are probably the best part of the commercial. I keep the file on my computer in case I need a sweet background at short notice.
Again, I am astounded by the quality of peoples work on here. I have the highest level of respect for all of you guys. Keep it up!!!
http://www.youtube/user/montyband
Thanks a million to Andrew Kramer.
Here’s one of my latest projects….

to bad the change is permanant!
Well, I don’t have this done yet but I thought I would post it so people on here would check this site and keep me on track for this project. It will be using some good VideoCopilot stuff, especially the DSFX!
http://www.nw-wa.com/pages/sf_08.html
I think everybody on here is really creating some great stuff! Keep pumping cool effects out everyone.

Well, I dont know if anyone is still looking at this post or not, but here is my reel. I got a few things from videocopilot. Thanks Andrew!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMLDAfL-1bw
just a little video.. using some elements from videocopilot..
http://youtube.com/watch?v=F-F1vqrt-2M
I never do as good a job in several hours (or days) that Andrew does in about 15 minutes, but here are some of my attempts at using his tutorials. They are very short on plot, mostly an excuse to use effects:)
Road Rage Trailer – used the Cruise Control (green screen with car) tutorial from the Serious Effects and Comp DVD combined with one of the title tutorials (there’s a longer version with different music too):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I-hLnMP8d8
Explosive Repercussions: Used the Blown Away Tutorial and the basic keying tutorial (I know the guys keep walking and walking):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jidXKp5qhOY
And a video I did for a Tori Amos green screen contest (which I somehow won). I used a script from http://www.aenhancers.com/ to rotate a panoramic photo and the rest was stuff I learned from Andrew:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKq6IVL64qc
Muzzle Flash and general compositing:
http://vimeo.com/201870
I have quite a few others, but most of them were before I started getting into AE and some are not effects heavy.
Thanks Andrew for all the great tutorials, your website and your sense of humor. Any suggestions or comments from everyone would be appreciated…dish it out, I can take it, I think.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=-eA62VwEVG4
This trailer was made before I started to color correct the project, using Film Magic pro of-course
But your tutorials were really helpfull, thanks alot

Hey Andrew…here’s Riot Gear in action!
http://www.paragon-ent.net/be/props.html
Some of the items were shot against a greenscreen….some were shot against a white background, then I used your tutorial on sky replacement to key out the props that were shot against the white background.
More Riot Gear in action to come!

We tried to greenscreen ourselves in The Matrix and used some Action movie essential and Designer sound fx stuff

It was a long process from storyboards to the completed version. Too bad we didnt have a better camera for better keying…oh well
Here’s a trailer I just finished with a number of visual effects test shots. I relied heavily on Andrew’s tutorials and DVDs.

Hey Andrew,
I have a video that I entered in the Apple Insomnia Film Challenge. I used Riot Gear, Designer Sound Effects, your lens flare preset, and the lightsaber preset. If you could watch it and tell me what you think, or even post it that would be awesome! It was a 24 hour contest and some of the lighting was bad, but I hope you enjoy it!

Hi!
Well, first, I’m spanish, I’ve learnt how to use after effects from andrew’s tutorials, so thank you Andrew! muchas gracias! (I read somewhere up in this page that you studied spanish (?) ) Well, the thing is that I’m a karaoker in a fansub (group dedicated to subtitle japanese animation) and I did a karaoke for our main anime, D.Gray-Man, I don’t know if i used some ideas from your tutorials, because i did a lot of them (not all, but quite a lot lol) but i learnt from 0 how to use AE from your tutorials,so I’m putting here the result:

Hey,
I worked on a video for Apple’s Insomnia 24 hour film contest, and the video is up on the site now. It’s called “Red Cape” and is about a young boy superhero who may or may not have any super powers at all.
I used one of the grungy textures from Riot Gear as well as some tutorial techniques to create the title for the video. I also act in it, as the second criminal that Red Cape deals with!
Check it out on Apple’s site here (and vote if you feel compelled!):

Use video copilot products on a few things i’ve done, including this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aijUTaDrn78
Hey Guys,
I had only one week to complete a music video for a Finnish band, signed with Warner music.
With a fairly ambitious concept for the time and money I had to set out to make the SD footage look as slick as possible. Video coplilot products and tutorials gave me the confidence to create shots that were needed, as well as a few that were a pleasent supprise to the client.
Video Copilot techniques used:
3d projection for a set extention
Action Movie Essentials (fog effects)
Advanced 2D motion tracking
Riot gear textures
Other techniques used:
Trapcode Particular
Knoll light factory
Magic Bullet
I would like to thank Andrew Kramer and the Video copilot team for advancing my knowledge of After Fx and helping me pull something out of the bag for what was a very scary brief for the time given. I had only started using AE just over a year ago and know I want to pursue my learning for this awsome program, using the excellent resources available at VideoCopilot.net
Cheers Guys!

Hey,
Over the summer I worked on a promotional video for the University of Wisconsin, River Falls, and I noticed they put it up on YouTube recently (although it’s been compressed horribly and squashed vertically :p).
http://youtube.com/watch?v=W9pWTEa9vJA
I used the Auto Bright Lens Flare preset towards the end, and built a neat 3d shot using the ideas from the Quick 3d Reflections present (although I couldn’t get the preset itself to work, so I figured out how to do a similar effect on my own).
Also, just the general knowledge I gained from VideoCopilot was a tremendous help in the post production phase overall! It was my first paid project outside of college, and the website was a big help, so thanks to everyone at VideoCopilot!
Ryan
hey, i just recently plugged you guys in a series of videos i’m making for Rock Band; i didn’t really use any general special technique, I just used some basic After Effects masking/keyframe stuff, but I plugged ya anyways cuz everyone’s asking where to go to learn it, and I pointed them to your After Effects training tutorials
Hey,
Andrew Kramer I would just like to say that you have been a tremendous help to me. I downloaded after effects 8.0 a couple of weeks ago and had no idea at all how to use it. I went through a couple of your free tutorials and I’m amazed at the stuff I can do now. You are my idol! I have a question though… For the Lightsaber tutorial is there a way you can make it so I can use the lightsaber for AE 8.0??? Or is that not possible?
Anyways thank you for taking the time to make all those tutorials! Your the best man!

Hi guys,
