Thanks Andrew, you’re the best.
Nice tutorial,Andrew.
Nicely done. I’m excited to film this week and combine some of these tutorials. Very cool stuff Andrew
Very cool tutorial. You, sam and your other buds obviously have fun together while working. Its great to be able to have fun while doing what you love.
thanks.
Wow! 60 tutorials already? I remember when you made your first few. Wait until you get to 100.
Please tell me someone here has heard the “Do not feed the Bears” reference in the beginning!
Cool great tutorial here is a link to a trailer I made using Video Copilot – Designer Sound FX (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_xa6Q3FK8E)
All the effects are 2D – Image Manipulation done with Adobe After Effects and Adobe PhotoShop.
Wasn’t it the episode where Bart eats something sharp in a bowl of Krusty-Os?
Yes Conor!
Lisa was suggesting that maybe Bart wasn’t faking it and Homer said “Lisa, when you older, you’ll learn a few things. Like when the sign says do not feed the bears… Man, you better not feed the bears. Now go to school!”
“Kids are so naive…….. Now get to school,boy.”
Great tutorial! The tip with tracking was very helpful. I didn’t know that. Thank you, Andrew.
I watched a couple of episodes of The Simpsons, but I never heard the “Do not feed the bears” line. But I’m not a Simpsons geek as you are, Andrew.
PS: Dada dam dadam… Dada dam dadam… As I’ve already said, Sam would be a great Terminator.
PPS: Futurama rules. I have all seasons on DVD. It’s better than Simpsons.
Ha! I’m a walking Simpsons encyclopedia! Except for that time I couldn’t remember Sideshow Bob’s brother’s name. Man that was embarrassing!
I love Futurama too.
Andrew, you’ll have to speak up, I’m wearing a towel…
Yeah!! Great tutorial! This is really awsome. Yeah Futurama is really great!
Here is a link to the episode for those of you that want to watch it online.

looks cool!
hello andrew kramer!! ofcourse ive heard that simpsons reference
love that tutorial!!!!!
Good stuff. Also, I’m looking forward to the next Terminator movie, planned for a 2009 release…
Great tutorial Andrew….
Now we can make Kelso’s dream of “Moby Dick” being a robot a reality!.
I’m a family guy man myself. Never really got into Futurama
Yeah not just a tracking tutorial^^
This is amazing!! A real “Number 60″ =)

Looks Great!! Thanks Andrew! Looking forward to purchasing some of your new upcoming products. You need to release them quick! I need some new VC products!! You’ve got us looking forward to a lot……Advanced Training, Twitch, and Riot Gear 2!!!! CAN’T WAIT…….NEED PRODUCTS……..
Wohooo, the font looks so cool. I love your tuts andrew. Keep up the good work. 2 thumbs up
For anybody who cares, the link that Gregger posted is a red site according to the Mcafee SiteAdvisor, so I wouldn’t use the site.
Awsome tutorial. The result looks great, the technics is very intresting and I think I will have to watch the tutorial a few more time to understand all the stuff you teached us here.
The end was unexpected, and really cool. Sam is 50% human, 50% robot and 100% actor
It’s going to be very exciting and funny to play around with all theses new technics learned in this 60th tutorial.
Thanks for the sharing Andrew
Thank you Andrew, you really listens to your fans. We always love great SFX just like in Hollywood movies….
Hope you and your family are always in good health and living a good life….:)
Awesome Andrew! Can’t wait to try it out!
BTW: I think it is a very good idea to show some screenshots from your next tutorial! So we can give you some advice and if you like it you could build in =)
Freundliche Grüße from austria
This is great! I’m looking forward to the next tutorial and what it might be. I only discovered this website this week and I have been going through all the tutorials. They really are fantastic. Please keep them coming I have learnt so much!
I did my version of your Tutorial
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Oye8uDqVJw4
@Lousy Kreator, Andrew is actually show us some screen shots sometimes from his upcoming tutorial, not always though, cos he likes to surprise us too. But he did preview this tutorial’s pic a day before its release and I he listen to our comments.
amaaaaaaaazing as alweays…
Totally badass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Victor: I know that he doesn’t show us screenshots to every tutorial, but i think it is a good idea because so we could tell him what we want^^
And… I mean Mr Kramer is an AFX God, but maybe one of us has an good idea which Andrew likes too and so he can add it to his tutorial=)
Hi Andrew, Sam and team.
Another great Tutorial you released. To be able to buy a new product from you I have to wait till something new is released as I already have all the existing great products that are available
“If The Flintstones has taught us anything, it’s that pelicans can be used to mix cement. ”
Cheers,

Thanks Man,

Hey Andrew!
Of course every Simpsons fan knows not to feed the bears
But I’ve got to tell you, that you are _at least_ as funny as the Simpsons.
I’ve just nearly spit out my cornflakes over they keyboard as I’ve heard that you already ate your turkey a few days ago ;0) .
btw: Great Tutorial
Hi andrew is it possible to get the termniator aep file aswell?
Thank you Andrew for an other fantastic tutorial.
I figured out lots of things this time.
Still when is that other dvd coming?
the ending was really cool . your extremely talented .
i have done cuts on someone before, but i did the lazy way by just googling for images of nasty cuts ,chop them out and blend them onto the actors skin . but your way is far beyond that .
“your the best around nothings gonna ever keep ya down” x2
I’m guessing Sam is going to eat you now.
Wow great tutorial Andrew its like Wolverine’s healing power awesome! Ihear Futurama is comming back to TV!
great tutorial Andrew, thanks for all your VFX tutos !!
great job!!!!!!!!
god bless ya!! …sam too!!!
I LOVE YOU!
Evening all,
mr.Kramer, this is amazing, impressive stuff here…
Thanks Andrew! Very well done – haven’t seen it but sure it is
eh, going to watch now.. But thanks anyway for all your effort and FREE stuff..
great one ,alot of choices ,now if you dont want it to fade away you just keep the normal setting is that right?
Love the tutorial!!!! I love how there is always something so usefull in each of Andrews tutorials. I mean regeneration is a awsome tutorial in itself but I think the tracking trick where you can track your footage better was so helpful. Thanks Andrew. Guys check this out, I just finished it last night.
Hey andrew i have a question
if i want to make it look that i am cutting my face with a knife ,to show the knife cutting the skine what do i have to reverse?
Hey, I’d LOVE to “keep your guys rockin” but you gotta give me NEW stuff to buy…I got all the old stuff!
I liked Your tutorial that much Andrew, that I havent done it. I havent done the healer… :] I’ve done the ANTI HEALER ! MUAHAHAHA … ok… ok.. I’m alright…. http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=nUbNUAa4Ms8 (thanks 4 the great tut!)
Hey andrew iam doing exactly what you doing .but when you get to cut precomp after you dublicate the null and the cut comp to precompose i dont see iit in the order you talking about.and you didnt show how to duplicat the footage and put it in the cut comp.. ,you too fast in clicking stuff.
But I still LOVE THEM DONT STOP I BOUGHT MANY OF YOUR PRODUCTS DONT STOP MAKING VIDEO TUTORIALS THEY RULE YOU SHOULD make an advanced section instead of basic :’(
But nothing gets better than southpark AK……..
Sam you’re the new terminator … be carefull andrew maybe sam comes to kill you
hey guys this question to anyone who knows how to track a muzzle flash .
if some one waving the gun while he is shooting in the air where you track to make the flash move with the gun?
thank you.
HEROES Yada!!!!!!
Merci Andrew !!!!!!!!!!
Vivement le 61 et la sortie de ton DVD !!!!!!!!!!
Et oui tu est une star en France aussi !!!!!!!!
Thank for all Andrew
Cant wait for the advanced DVD!
i love you … so much your style is dashing andrew
Dear Andrew,
As you reach sexagennialth tutorial, I can’t help but realize the similarities between vc-pilot and a perfect woman, always there when I need her, gets wiser with age, costs money in order to get the best products, and well, thats were the similarities end, you see, unlike a woman, vc-pilot gets better looking with age… strange. Well I have to go watch the last tutorial another 3/4 times in order to completely understand the concepts. It’ll probably be up all night…….
Anyways I’ll keep in touch thank you again
great as always Andrew good work. Hanging out for that dvd.
You’re awesome. Great tutorials.
Can’t wait for the new DVD and I hadn’t been on this site from its beginning, but I am happy I reached tutorial 60, anyways, it is awesome
keep up the good work Video Copilot team
wow great work Andrew , sam and all the crew ![]()
happy 60 !
i watched your Great tutorials for a long time and you helped me alot ,special thanks from Kuwait >>salam <<
Any date set on any of the DVD’s? The 50 tutorial one, Twitch, or the Advanced DVD? Also any word on Action Movie Essentials 2 or Riot Gear 2?
I think the “Do not feed the Bears” is also a reference to Yellowstone NP
HEY Kramer was wondering what kind of software do you use to record the screen and make the tutorial if it is possible because i`v tried a lot of software and non of them are worthy?!!
