greetings
sweet Jesus!
Impressive Andrew. Must say that I kinda freaked out with the “chill out” at the end:P I laughed:)
AWESOME……….As allways
I guess because I live in Canada I don’t need this effect? Especially today its -40 degrees. Lol .
I don`t know what to say.. it awesome also three tutorials for less than a week WOW GREAT! KEEP IT UP. Also i want to know is there something about twitch and the DVD with 50 tutorials and are there any new products that going to be realized coming months.
Hey Andrew!!!… how do you light your shots???… any especial equipment??…Thanks… keep up the good work…
The tutorial is great. Thanks. Is it possible to make smoke of a cigarette with this technique? What would be the settings of Particular? I’m not really familiar with this plug-in.
PS: That Schwarzenegger Freeze Video made me think of the hilarious Pulp Fiction F’ing Short Version. LOL.
PPS: CHILL OUT!
I likd it! Now I’ve made a “Andrew Coldbreath” preset so I can use whenever I need it:) Im going to shoot a testfilm real soon..
It’s nice tutorial. I’m from Taiwan, and learn lots form your tutorial. Thank you Andrew. P.S: Could you tell your computer system, because I want to change my computer, tks..

Another great one Andrew! I really feel as if I owe you everything! I have learned so much from you, thanks again!
a buddy of mine in college made that video. he’s fantastic at web comedies.
Hey Andrew, thanks for another awesome tutorial
wonderfull…. nice job & the team of course, glad that Sam is back
keep it up
Great tutorial as usual -one question, tho’. Do I HAVE to use Particular? I don’t have it and don’t have $300 in the budget. Can I achieve this effect using Particle Playground, just more time-consuming? Enjoying my Riot Gear and SFX DVD’s!
Hello Andrew,
Maby you can learn us the second part of this tutorial “Frosty Breath”
Thanks for your help and enjoy !

You can create a similar effect with particle playground and CC particle World. Just use white circles and blur the end result. The reason i use particular is because it creates the best result and you have professional control over resistance and other physics.
AK, Love the link to “chill”. You’re always fun to listen to.
Thanks,
c
Nice touch with the Mr. Freeze clip
What a simple technique to add such a subtle but impressively realistic effect!
Great tutorial!
Great tut, AK you forgot to use the “FILM MAGIC PRO” and promote the DVD http://www.videocopilot.net/fmp.html
I have the Film Magic Pro and I recommend it.
Great Tutorial as always
andrew! you should run as president of usa
Thank Andrew !
I’ve watched hours of tuts but somehow you seem to make it all come together. THANKS for the inspiration
Great tutorial as usually. I found very intresting that you used trapcode particular since it help to understand how to use the features of that great product.
The thing I most apreciated with buying Videocopilot Products is the tutorials included that show you a couple of great stuff you can do with the product itself. I am sure this tutorial will show up in the trapcode gallery / tutorials
Thanks for the sharing Andrew
Thanks for the excellent tutorials Andrew. I gotta say though I feel very sorry for Sam; he really takes a lot of abuse
Some stuff created with Riot Gear, DSFX and your face warp tutorial and earth zoom and planet explode tutorial. Thanks for all the help Andrew, I’m slowly beggining to understand AE.

rocking tut. i expect to see people breathing fire, too.
just thought i’d make everyone aware of another VCP product sighting.
i caught Rambo the other night and it seemed to use Action Movie Essentials elements pretty heavily. while the film used a ton of practical efects, it was nonetheless sweetened with scores of digital blood bursts. people seemed to explode into blood pretty often.
there’s even a quick shot during the final battle where a bad guy’s head is blown off and it is IDENTICAL to the assisted suicide tutorial, with what looked like the same blood burst.
if i’m right, i think that’s the baddest-ass promo AME could have. Rambo approved.
extra, as always!
Hey Andrew!
We have finished the trailer to our Resident Evil 4 prequel. This project is far from finished, but it was only made possible due to your genius. It is in German, but there is not much dialogue in it anyway.
THX from all our cast and crew!
