thats awsome!!! keep up the cool work buddy.

Holy smokes! Can’t wait to see this!

OH MY GOD !!!

AWESOME !!!

CAN’T WAIT !!!

Very cool Andrew!!! why didn’t you used the matrix effect rather than the smooth effect for the bullet’s trail? or that’s how t was done in the movie ‘Wanted’ ?

Holly Sh…

You can imagine how long I was waiting for a training DVD like this….
I feel like a child again that is waiting for christmas!!!

Well…that’s just ridiculously cool. Can’t wait.

WOW CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Needs more cowbell.

You’re cool enough to stalk.

Holy Crap guys at VideoCopilot! Let me pick my Jaw up off the floor. sign me up for the release!

oh my f* god you guys r so professionals

Wow. That was epic. Looking forward to the DVD.

wow!

i seem to have wet myself

looks great BUT what about the recoil of the gun it looks like you animated a toy guy (and you did) the action seems to have no effect on sams hand – no one cand shoot without even a little movement. hope you will fix this by the final relese – other then that it looks greate (like i said) and cant wait to see what you come up with in the dvd

great job, your fx are so perfect .you are a profesional !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UNREAL!

that is one of the most impressive clips i’ve ever seen, blimey!…even watching it frame by frame! well done, can’t wait for the DVD

and i swear i’m not nagging, but is there ANY idea wotsoever about when the 50 tutes DVD might be coming out? it’s just i have to watch all of your stuff on my work PC, coz i currently have insanely slow internet at home

oh, saw ‘Cloverfield’ last night…now i wonder if AE could handle track motion shots like that?!!

DAAAYYYMMMNNN, that was awesome!!!

unbelivable stuff great work andrew
i thought may be u can add a tutorial abaut the car hiting your car and the baseball hitting the camera from your 2005/2006 reel

DUDE DUDE DUDE! Hell yeah! Advanced scale Visual FX. I’m assuming that will include 3dsMax and AE? But yes, you guys are definitely doing awesome things. I can’t wait to check that out. I’m sure it will be awesome. I’m hoping the budge tutorial is on there. =)

I meant the “Bridge Tutorial” not “Budge.”

Finally!
I have been waiting for this a long time and you finally make it!
Love you Andrew! (And the rest of Videocopilot of course )

Looing forwardt to the advanced training DVD and of course Twitch)

Well if we want to get overly technical… which I know we love to do on the internet

In order to see a bullet flying out the chamber at such slow motion, the camera would have to be so fast, that the recoil would not yet have occurred. This is why, as long as you are steady when you pull the trigger, the bullet will hit the intended target. The bullet is long gone before you feel the recoil.

Of course this would be even easier to do digitally because you don’t need to animate the action or the shell ejecting. However that wouldn’t be nearly as fun.

Check out this video to see a Glock firing at super slow motion but still the bullet can only be seen as a flash for one or two frames but the shell and slide action are easy to see because they happen much slower and much later.

About 3:35

Very nice effects!!!

Looks Awesome! I can’t wait until it’s released!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH !!!!!!! Awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t wait to see that !!

Man i’m psyched! You are so generous you know that?!

That was a nice effect, can’t wait for those tutorials.

wow :O!!!
mah, you guyz are good! wowow!

I just don`t know what to say! It’s freaking awesome man! You make me happiest man in the world with you new awesome tutorials! Keep them coming! I can’t wait to buy Twitch and your new DVD!

WOW!! Can’t wait.

Oh my God!
I posted a Tutorial Request about an Effect like this.
And, there it is
Damn, this is awsome
Can´t wait.
You´re the best.

That is awesome :O.
It’s like the effect that everyone wants to do, but nobody knows how .

I’m really looking forward to this .

Looks really amazing! Congrats

Waiting for some new tutorials…

that looks so damn cool . I dont know what to say! especially the reflections on the bullet

Nice one ! Waiting the DVD …. please hurry!

Andrew!
Was that footage shot in Film or something? it looks different. a warmer picture..
What camera was used?

Great Job as usual :]

looks so nice,support u!

Yup you’re right Andrew the bullet isn’t indeed timed with the recoil as to what I believed since the Matrix came out but as you’ve “that wouldn’t be nearly as fun”. I guess that would be fun if it had a recoil.

But anyway, may I humbly ask sir Andrew what type of camera were you using to shot that scene?

yess…YESS…YYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! man, this looks AWESOME! I’ve been waiting for something this trendy to come along for ages! Not that ur free stuff isn’t good and all, its the BEST (the best things in life are free…sometimes) but this looks SWEET! Can’t wait!

YEW!!

I used a JVC HD 200. I also used a cinema adapter and real PL mounted cinema lens at a focal length of 50mm. Not a regular photography lens btw…

As you can tell just from the massive list of similar posts above, there are many effects junkies (including myself) practically having an orgasm over this effect (well, actually, im not but the other guys… ahem) so, yeah. this shall be a good product i reckon!

Fine Andrey!!! You as always have surpassed yourself!! However it would be desirable to specify some defects! 1. The bullet from a trunk in the present pistol takes off much earlier than the shutter departs and the sleeve is thrown out! 2. The bullet rotates on a circle of the axis much more quickly. 3. The bullet in your lesson flies not exactly concerning a trunk of a pistol! Yours faithfully!

I can’t believe, you are great Andrew.

I can’t wait…
Bye

Holy carp! This caused even more emotions than the Indy trailer.

sorry Ak & VCP, I must say it’s a tad “old skool” and boring (the promo that is, I’m sure the product itself rocks!) It “wreaks” The Matrix, and as much as most begginers or kids will love it, I know you guys can produce alot better than this… again, sorry!

WOW! You literally blew me of my feet, Andrew. This is amazing, absolutely amazing stuff. Kudos to Sam as well, he should be nominated for an Oscar!!!

i have been searching for this bullet ripples for weeks. and now i finaly made it work with trapcode particular and Caustics.
http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=10&t=596398

and now this. you made it also.
i was right now writting an email to you andrew. i wanted to show you my thread and give you an idea if in the future you would make a tutorial about this. but you already made it.

bravo.

Hi Andrew ^^

This video is simply…AMAZING…
Holy Carp xD

I’ve got a question. What sort of studies have you choose to learn that ?
A specific school or have you learn everything with the net and your experience ?
I’me very interested by that.

Ah, huh, do you use the same camera for all your videos ?

Thanks,

Baloo

PS: Don’t be afraid by my english ^^ I’m a french student and i’m not very good
with languages.

Looks Fantastic!!
Have seen how exacting you are with your work so I don’t doubt the ‘realism’ of the shot. Have every confidence in ya.
(From Australia)

awesome. Only thing I could think of, that it looks like ur gonna need a 3D app to make the bullet with tougness and HDRI reflections.. Other than that, this will be 10x more cool than the Demonic tutorial and Riot Gear!

Very Very cool sign me up. When does this come out AK?

Hi Andrew …

Very good this new realism fantastic video …

Am awaiting the release of this DVD Twitch

Congratulations for your great work
Whenever possible I try to follow

Wagner – Curitiba – Brazil

YES!YESS!YESSS!
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!
MATRIX EFFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

holy carp…. THATS SIMPLY AMAZING !!!!!

One question Andrew do you you any 3D Tracking software??

Do you USE? sorry

this looks … just amazing … i don’t even know how my computer could support an effect like that !

my french tutorial seems useless in front of this hd video …
http://www.post-prod-fr.com/tutorial-125-bullet-time-staile.html

it’s like … breathtaking …

i’m waiting for this

Holy Cow! cannot wait!

!!!WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!

holy god awsome

Great news!

I was trying something like that some time ago, but it didnt work out as good as that scene …

So i cant wait to buy it since im very curious what i did wrong …
(I personally think i did something wrong with my camera in 3dsmax)

this is just! this is …. words cannot demonstrate the magnitude of the happiness
community ran wild!

can’t wait, this is awesome…

very cool affect andrew, i’ll order this dvd when you’ll release it.

That’s just amazing. Everything looks more and more like true hollywood effects. Keep up the great work Andrew!

/Marcus from Sweden

Looks great, Andrew. But just one minor detail: The bullet is supposed to rotate around its axis. Other than that, great job!

Any plans on scripting/expressions DVD?

Woops, sorry. I just noticed that it actually is turning. Forget my previous message

You are my hero. Can’t wait to sit down and play with this one. Oh, and stop whining about Sam’s arm not jerking from the recoil and suggesting it need be fixed in post before the release of the tutorial. Anyone who’s seen any of your tutorials knows Sam Loya pretty much does these for beer & pizza, yet somehow he pulls it off.
Also, just to be a hypocrite, Sam didn’t pull the trigger very convincingly.

holy cow man thats just what I need cant wait for this to arrive.

Mind Blowing,,,, cant wait , once again the master calls and the padawan younglings respond,,:)

Andrew Kramer, you are a f**** genious! You have no idé how many times I have tried making this effect and failed over and over again and now you come with this ultra super effect!

How the HELL do you get that quality? my render outputs allways suck in some way..

I really do not know what to say andrew. Believe me, but I swear that you are the best because a part that we are going to buy the DVD. give us such knowledge is really extraordinary.
Thanks again

holy carp!this video is freakin’ amazing!!

Some of the best editing I’ve seen you do, can’t wait for the DVD.

Well i can see that someone is really enjoying their 35mm adapter!! Is that a spinning GG or vibrating GG? I’ve been building one of each using the redrock DIY kit and Daniel Schweinert’s tutorials, and ive found that the vibrating GG works alot better and is alor more light weight lol.

P.S. That shot is cool lol.

Wow just what i was looking for. WIll look amazing cant wait.

very cool video,

the only thing I can add: I am not sure about the hole on the front side of a bullet, it looks cool, but wouldn’t it reduce the speed of a bullet because of an air going in to the head part of it? but overall, very cool Andrew, keep up a good work!

This is what i was looking for Andrew…….
(Giovanni):”initialize the program”
(computer):”…loading…”
(computer):”countdown system activated”
(computer):”warning!!!you are going to work with some professional stuff”
(Giovanni):”yeah,i know ….and i can’t wait to start…hehe”
(computer):”hehehe”
(Giovanni):”what the…hey u can’t smile, you are just a program”
(computer):”shut up..if it’s not for me u can’t even start andrew kramer stuff”
(Giovanni):”whatever….”

Hehehe come on Andrew show us your new DVDs

Great, Andrew.
I wonder when your mini-product, “Video Copilot: Series One. The new Tutorial DVD” will be available?

Bullet-time effect

That’s really Heart Stopping DVD >>>>>

The Question is :

How many Tutorials would the DVD contains ?

WOOOOW! DUDE! this is the thing i’m working on for about 3 years now! and it never worked! so i’m looking forward to see the DVD!
wow! realy realy cool!:P

Thanks a lot! I just soiled myself! Man… I’m not visiting your site anymore without a pair of Depends!

Looking good. Looking really freaking good!! I can’t wait and I’ll have to pick up the DVD now!! Awesome job

THAT WAS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWESOME!!!! I absolutely cannot wait for this. RELEASE IT TODAY, PLEASE!!!!!

When this advanced training DVD comes out, I will kiss the ground with joy and ask my mother to dance with me. Like, seriously.

Wow.. I keep watching it frame by frame I can’t believe how clear and precise this scene is..

p.s. I can’t wait for the DVD on twitch!

Ok dude you have me frothing at the mouth on this one. I have a shot in a short film I’m doing that has a shot almost exactly like this one in it. In fact, I’ll tweak mine a bit more and send you a link to it soon just for the hell of it. K, now get this one ready…my wallet literally just caught on fire lol. Pease bro!

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

wowowwoowowowowoowowow

that was pure sick!

Very nice. I’ll take 2.

That’s actually amazing! I can’t wait!

An advanced training DVD would be great!

I’m really hoping it will have the bridge and your 3D Video Copilot text breaking apart. I have been looking everywhere for a maxscript that will break up an object like that. Could you shed a little light how you created the fragments?

By the way, have you used the RayFire Tool at all? I just downloaded the demo yesterday and it looks very cool.

http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/rayfire-tool

Andrew , you are my Indiana Jones !

OH…..HELL YEAH!!!!!! That’s what I’m talking ’bout. Looks great, can’t wait for the release.

Great,

That video is HD for sure.
Man the resolution is big!

SXForce

I hope agent Smith doesn’t slap a lawsuit on you.

Very cool stuff bro! Can’t wait til your products are out!!!!

Will this cover the 3D of the bullet in 3ds Max?

Kramer,

That clip was mind blowing.

You have set the bar to a new level…

I want to give you money, now..

I like your style Kramer

Hi, this may sound stupid, but how do you import .avi in to after effects, because every time I try it says- invalid file format, I’ve tried using a converter to .mov, but I loose a load of quality when I do that.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!

You probably projected your footage on a wall in a 3d package, extended the scene so that you can pan your camera in 3d space and still see a background. And maybe you exported it as RPF again for some After Effects editing. Am I right?

I’ve been working on this effect for a while, and yours just blew me away! Great job! Looking forward to the dvd-

You showoff! That is just Superior! I have long waited for this so thanks a bunch! P.S – Sam – You are a Great Actor! Cheers!

Hey man, I dont have to say it, thats what’ve been waiting for all my life. Money is ready so hurry up. Anyhow one question for you Kramer, Can you LIST your COMPUTER’s SPECS? CPU, RAM, MOTHERBOARD, VIDEO CARDS, ETC.

when this DVD show? O,O’

All I have to say is thank you so much, I’ve been waiting for a advanced DVD like this for so long. I’ll be sure to pick it up.

here is some of the work I’ve done thanks to the videocopilot team
http://www.vimeo.com/createchange

yeah dude,,,,,, i think its amazing, and i think you should sell it instead of making it a free tutorial… anything else going to go on that dvd?

Wow!

That’s amazing I can’t wait!

How did you keep the quality so good after using Sorenson 3 Video codec?

I have sony hdr-hc3 I compressed my HD clip to Sorenson 3 Video codec but

the quality is still lower then yours clip.

Thanks Andy!

Your clip you made was really good. i wish i could do as well as you. I have starred in 1000000 blockbuster movies! (rubbish video clips that my brother has done in after effects) I cant wait for the DVD and U rock maan!!! How are you so good! Please reply (if u get a moment!)

oh i forgot to ask you if you would recommend me for one of your actresses please reply to let me know what you think!

Amazing. I will definitely be buying this DVD! already waiting for Twitch and the tuts dvd 1.

Great job!

I-CAN’T-WAIT!!!
Amazing video!

Will you have pre-orders? Cause there’s going to be a heck of a lot of people dying for this dvd.

awesome! can’t wait

Sold! Sign me up!

Oh, and another shout for the 50 offline tutorials DVD… but then again if the timing is right then maybe we can get a good deal on both these forthcoming products as a set?

Wow, GREAT idea! I have a feeling I’m gonna love this so much!! :):):)

AMAZING!!!!
I hope I’ll be able to learn all of stuff you are doing great!!!

How is this possible with no 3d Tracking?

Wow Andrew you’re great!!!

I can’t wait to buy your new dvd…

Thanks a lot for your precious support!!!
Bye

Gianni & my little son Simone and my wife Maria from Italy!!!!

is this all in AE ?

Hey, very very nice looks like im going to be buying this one to, what camera do you use? also if you want to be rolling in the money i suggest you do a vampire dissolve effect as seen on blade that would be great i would pay big to achieve that effect.

Frickin awesome!!!!

I was hoping you would make advanced tutorial like this, inspired from the latest Hollywood blockbuster SFX, although some people say this video is not as realistic but I think you pretty much did a good job and we can make different kinds of creativity or add more elements from your tutorial.

can we do slow motion shot like this with a consumer camcorder and timemap it in AE ? will it look good enough?

I just saw the movie Jumper, can you please make a tutorial of the teleporting effects in this movie, you can also add it in this tutorial DVD or put it in VCP.

I’m hoping you would also include other elements in this tutorial DVD such as 3DMax integration, camera and shooting techniques, also other movie making tips n tricks. Hey that’s what advance is all about, right?

Once again, Thank you …

MIND BLOWING!!!!!!!!!!!!! get it?

Wow I can’t wait….this is just….wow

This seriously looks sick as hell. wow im really excited

OMG This is freaking BEAUTIFUL, I must have this one for sure
Thanks Andrew, you should work in Hollywood

HEY VICTOR!!!!
Check this video i made today in AE.
Teleportation just like in Jumper

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWC16YuD-DM

That was awesome!

Looks great! And I dont just mean the effect, very filmic, What camera are you shooting with andrew? Was is shot with a fast shutter or done in post? And is there anywhere we could see some of your films?

This rocks!! I can’t wait!!

*picks jaw off the floor*

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!

Seriously, I would pay good money to have something like that in my films…

Holy cow. If you teach me how to make this in your new dvd, i will buy it. For sure. It will also look great with some of your other products i bought

Im assuming you made this in 3ds max? i really hope you come out with some more tutorials for max………

Hey Moca MX,
You’re video is actually quite good, just like in Jumper… good job!

wow that’s pretty good

WOW Andrew, you have no idea how long I have been looking for and wanting to do a bullet time effect like that!!! Since you doing a whole dvd instead of a tutorial on the site could you please let us know if all these effects involve after effects and not any 3d program (like 3dsmax) and without any trapcode effects either?

THANK YOU so much ANDREW and VIDEOCOPILOT guys!!!

Holy Crap! That is AWESOME! Can’t wait for the DVD.

this looks like one of those techniques that we’ve all dreamed about doing but failed miserably. great job!

any idea how much the advanced training dvd will cost?

Very impressive effect Andrew, I especailly appreciate your eye for detail, heat distortion from the muzzle cloud, slow spin on the bullet, slight flash on Sam’s face, etc. etc. etc. Looks like I am going to have to learn 3dsMax after all now I hope you can cram it all into 30 minutes. It’s a shame when an affect is on a final but has to be left out due to time. …still from youor HD example .mov’s it’s not hard to figure them out later.

You are my Robert Rodriguez of post production (a pure inspiration) …or was it the other way around? Oh well, you are in good company in my mind.

Holy Crap!!!!! All I can Say. In fact I’ll say it again, Holy Crap!!!!!

Wow that looks awesome! I don’t quite understand the guy who said this was lame…
I suppose this takes some camera handling skill as well though..

The only thing i didn’t like was the fact that his hand stayed perfectly still instead of kicking up from the recoil.

ohh my god ya thats what we been waiting for you got me on this one .finally you got all my attention boss. thank you thank you.

wow thats awesome!! maybe give it more spin, would look more impressive!!! but it looks really awesome, cant wait for this!!

so far, after-effects-guru, keep on rockin!!

Mmmm… Holy Carp ! Looks like we’re all gonna need a “Twitch+Advanced training DVD” Bundle

But, I think there’s just a little too much smoke for my taste, but hey, that’s my opinion. Good to see that Sam finally stopped being depressed by the effects you were applying on him *Sam Strikes Back*

Oh, but, even if it’s great, I bet the DVD won’t be just about this sequence, right ? So, I’m waiting for more infos about the content.

Cheers from France

is it all in after effects or we need someother programs to do this just tell me cuase am shaking right now.

I was watching frame by frame ,what kind a gun you used .cuase for many resons
1-sam didnt move his finger too much to fire it
2 the barrel hole is clear as a real one or blank gun
3 and most important the shell ejecting is so perfect that its realy coming out of the chamber.
4 did you use a real image of a bullet head as a refferance cuase its perfect.
I love it ,I was waiting for this since last year if you remember.you just got 5 customers wanting to buy your dvds refered by me .they were living in a cave.

Very, Very Nicely Done!
Andrew you never stop amazing me, And I’m not easily amazed

Great Job!

I need that effect man, it looks awesome

what makes andrews tutorials great is the way he pays attention to details.
as you see he didnt just reflected the light on sams face but you can see the light inside sams eyeball and thats my friend is talent and hard work. sorry iam posting again its just every time you watch you learn how to value videocopilot.
Do you think i can pull off a shot like this with the XL2 to get that quality.

Cool will you be useing 3D tracking such as boujou 4 and 3Ds max? cant wait to see what you have in store thanks.

I just want to say I love you guys!

I’ll take 3. I don’t care what it costs. If I don’t have enough money I’ll steal a credit card or rob a bank or do a backflip in an Audi, whatever it takes to get that training DVD!

PS – can you teach us how to do that?

Awesome! Can’t wait!

Andrew, by the way, looks like the good men and women from Jumper made use of your Earth Zoom tutorial in their World Premiere trailer. Its at about 2 minutes and 14 seconds in.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=9rz5NekSUTM

No 3D tracking used. The only element done in a 3D program is the bullet. And because it is a DVD for sale, we’ll also include the 3D step for both 3D max and Cinema 4D.

This is not Carp

WOOOWW!! this is the first time iv posted here, and what a time to post! Awsome stuff Andrew.

just wondering, what types of cameras do you use to record your footage?
it always looks soo great…

Honestly, my favorite part is the lighting of Sam’s face on the muzzle flash and the slight hint of reflection in his eyes. It’s the little things that count!!

It’s really cool for no 3D tracking. I’ll be buying Twitch with the tutorial DVD’s the day it comes out. Hopefully it’s soon though.

OOOOOOOOo so so sweet I didnt know you could change the dumpsters COLORS!!
Man i cant wait till i change mine.. This tutorial is gonna be the BOMB!

andrew beside after effects and your dvd what else i need to make this happen?
like this i know a head of time

Please make it affordable like us who are just students doing it out of pure passion and not for professional benefits. Gotta work double shift to pay for this dvd !!

Holy Smoke!! now this is called VFX

Clancy30 its a fake gun i’m pretty sure…probably just an airsoft gun. Maybe a gas blowback airsoft gun so the blowback would already be there.
Haven’t looked at the video recently but i’d guess it was a USP or maybe a Glock of some sort.

Hey Andrew. I was excited to see this tutorial. I remeber sending you this for an idea a long time ago. I am glad you got to it! Thanks!

wow wow wow Andrew you have to warn us before you show us stuff like this!

Incredible. Just Incredible.

Andrew, you surprise us all once again with all those Hollywood style visual effects. Once again, I wish I had a time machine and buy the DVD now from the future. Awesome!

Kevin how are you ,
the reson i asked about the gun is becuase .
1 if you pay close attention to the gun when its fired there wasnt enough recoil
it didnt go all the way back so i thought its an ilusion one of andrews tricks if you watch the recoil in the old indy tino tutorial.
2 if it was an airsoft you would see the small cuper bb barrel .and remember andrew said you have to keep this shot steady as so i dont think there was a real recoil at all airsoft or real .i think its all andrews best tricks to make the gun looks like been fired using real knowledge of gun handling. cuase i was born with guns. i still love it .

and by the way thats a SIG SAUER MAYBE A P239

It is a Sig P229 40 cal. This particular gun is real but I don’t’ recommend using real guns. It is just hard to find replicas for cheap of this one.

Obviously we didn’t shoot the gun so the slide action is done in AE which was quite tricky because of the angle. Oh and I mis-spoke the bullet and the shell are the only things created in a 3D program. I forgot about the shell because it was a last minute addition.

We may even include the steps for creating the bullet and shell in a free 3D program as well, perhaps Blender. This way all you need is After Effects. Also if there are any Blender EXPERTS here, please email me at andrew (at) videocopilot.net

so you mean with the dvd all we need is after effects .the bullet and the shell is ready to drop in like the roit gear elemnts . i hope so.

The elements of course will be included for this specific shot, but to do it with your own footage you will be taught the steps needed to complete your own shot.

If you don’t want a hollow-point bullet you would want to make it yourself.

i want hollow point that thing looked real iam telling you .i freezed the frame and looked at it for good 20 mins.

Dam Drew, thats bad-ass! when are gonna totally make your own shortfilm?

That would be awesome if you included tut on creating the elemens in C4D and Max. Looking foward to it Andrew. Hey andrew have you used letus 35 adapter at all?

Why no rifling on the bullet? My 9mm and other handguns have lands and grooves in the barrel. Thats what imparts the spin on the bullet. These bullets look pristine coming out. I know, willful suspension of disbelief.

Does the Sig have a smooth bore?

I think he used the M2 35mm .i was going to get one its like 900$somthing.

Cool. I think it would be a great idea to show how to model the projectile in Blender.

Holy crap! i can’t wait for this tutorial. Way to go Andrew, looking forward to this one as always! keep it up.

That is just awesome. The hardest park i think would not be just making the bullet itself, but timing the bullet up with the footage. By that i mean, moving around the bullet at the same angle that the shot is going at.

Matt, what your talking about is the easy part with the techniques I’ll be demonstrating. This is actually my favorite part of this entire effect and what made me finally decide to do it.

Oh wow!! I can’t breathe! This is just too amazing!! I love it, I’m inspired.
If you are going to do a tutorial on this I would love you forever! Especially on creating the bullet. I tried to do a similar effect a couple of weeks ago. It came out decent but I’d like mine to be more similar to yours now haha

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1E3qJiWpu8

check mine out if you’d like!

Andrew…. I’m speechless.

This is soooo amazing. I’m going all 10th grade girl on you, but I like so totally can’t wait for this. When this comes out I am so like going to order it right away.

Okay, that was a little creepy. But I can’t wait.

Oh my Genius Andrew Kramer, I’m speechless too.
Evrytime you come with some BOOM efx – hehe

thnx n regards
Sandy

Looks great Andrew. Any hints as to what some of the other advanced techniques might be? and will they be one per dvd? or a few?

Thanks,
George

The DVD’s in this series will likely cover 1 large-scale VFX shot. So far this has 12 tutorials planned and should be over 2 hours long. They will also include behind the scenes footage of the set and production notes etc.

We are still planning another 10 tutorial DVD that will just cover techniques in After Effects but these will be much more thorough and cover the detail required for motion picture visual effects and workflows.

andrew, just a couple of things about the bullet vid. firstly i must say it is very nicely done. looks great. BUT bullets have two extra things that happen to them when they are released from the barrel of the gun.

1. the barrel has a 1/9 rate of twist. this means every nine inches it will have done one full twist.

2. the barrel has rifling inside which would create four grooves from the front of the bullet to the back. about 1mm wide and a poofdeanth deep. but only starts where the projectile is the width of the barrel diamenter.

these are only very picky things but i think you should at least make the bullet twist. thanks for everything andrew and i look forward to actually seeing how you did it.

Why do you torture us with this stuff? Now I wouldn’t be able to sleep until this DVD is released! Come on man, you made us wait for Twitch forever as well – I wanna spend some cash so satisfy my burning desire to see how these marvelous scenes are created. The behind the scenes stuff would be extremely welcome – as far as I’m concerned you can have a DVD just on the behind the scenes stuff )

That’s a really nice effect Andrew! i was wondering, what texture did u use for the bullet?

thanks

geesh

Another thing you didn’t tell us is what setting you shot this scene as far as FRAME RATE and if you slowed it down in post.
and do we have to shoot at 60i to slow the scene down to match it with the bullet
time. Because if we donut know what is the best setting for a shot like that.

You are GOD .. THIS IS WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR.

1 more thing i read somewere theyre is a tutorial with fire covering a body or hand.

Hey Andrew…excellent job on everything you’ve done and plan to do. Just a quick question…you say you used a cinema adapter on that shot…was it a Redrock Micro M2? If so, have you learned any cool tricks with it? I hear they’re highly recommended! Thanks a million bro!

Hey Mr. Kramer, why did you post the sample video now? I can’t sleep, I can stop thinking about this tutorial. It’s worst than being in love and being rejected. I’m so ancious!!! Somone tase me!!
So, please please please, HURRY UP!!!

P.S. I still need to know your comp specs. Video card, capture card, cpu, memory, motherboard, etc etc.

I think I figured out the After Effects part. This is indeed possible without any 3D tracking and is relatively easy. I think it can be done without any tracking at all. My problem is the bullet, since I’m not very good at 3ds Max. I think I could do the camera move with the bullet passing by, but I could never make it look that realistic with the material and the lightning and all the other settings.

Have anyone seen the movie “Bandidas” with Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz? At the end of the film there is a cool scene, where the camera moves in an environment, while the bullets and knives are flying in slow-motion. Just like in Andrew’s shot, the camera follows the bullet and then the other guy is shooting and the camera follows the other bullet back and there are splinters of the furniture and debris flying around and stuff.

Hi
I think that bullet is amazing.

I was wondering whether the textures are done in 3Ds max aswell?

This is probably the best website for After effects I have ever been on.

Thanks

See now, that is just plain cool.

Can’t wait for a tutorial on this….wow!
