Valentine’s Day Leftovers


This is more of a family video but I just had to share my daughter, Katie (5 months now) enjoying a balloon left over from the holiday.

No punch line here, just too sweet for words. These are the moments…

Damn, Andrew! Shes adorable! …..that laughter is contagious! :]

btw….what lense did u use here? lolz. :]

You have a beautiful daughter, andrew. really cute. :D

:P

VERY NICE ,
how does it feel to be a father?
I don’t know if i am going to have one one day .

lol I don’t know why but there’s something really funny about a baby laughing!…
I remember when my friends daughter used to laugh for ages everytime I clapped and shouted BANG! :P

:-D

amazing effect, is it full 3D? who dubbed it? it looks so real! ;)

by Bruno Salvadio

Great Child!
His is so Beaty and Laugh whit Happy!!!

Congratulations Dad for the 5 Months

Haha thats gold!
Your next tutorial should involve her somehow. perhaps a giant 5 month old roaming the streets terrorizing everybody:D Godzilla style! :D

please katie don’t hurt the hands of your father with your ballon pleaseeeee :)

andrew i have a children too, scott 5 years old. he’s amazing !!

nice moments, and long life to your familly.

greetings,

This is you best work !!

Wow, thats gr8 Andrew.
Sweet Family – Sweet Katie – Sweet Dreams -
Very Beautiful just like U! :)

Greetings
Sandy

Hey, she’s so cute, maybe she can be an actress for your tutorial. :)

I don’t know why but most baby laugh and looked really happy when we show them their own reflection in a mirror, you should try it if you want to see her laugh anytime, btw this can also work using a camera and show them the live stream by flipping the LCD panel toward them, that way we can record them laughing and happy :)

Hope this trick works :)

He man ur kid is so sweet n same like you.
SHe is a cute kid .i wish i will hav a kid same like that in future….

Lovely Video – I loved it

U make everybody Laugh – U make people smile – Ur a Genius – :D

Awesome Video – Sandy

Damn Cute… Picture Perfect :)

I totally get it! My wife and I have a four month old son and he finds simple things very funny (mostly me, his dad!) Thanks for sharing.

Wow, very cute congrats! Maybe one day Katie will do her own VCP tutorial :) .

that’s awesome, andrew. New baby girl on the way for us, today, perhaps, and your video reminded me of that great time one has during the infancy stage. Too cool!

by هـــاشم

Omg, that is seriously the cutest baby I’ve ever seen!

she’s so lovely!!!Congrats Andrew!! :) she’s so LOL !

Hi !!!! It’s a good thing that film your little cutie, ’cause time goes so fast, next thing you know she will be entering high school !!! It’s a shame that I didn’t film my daughter when she was that age… Take care !

BTW : Thanks for all those usefull and great tutorial…keep on the good works !!!

oh man, that’s great :P

awesome, that vid put a huge smile on my dial – thanks for sharing bloke.

A childs laughter is the bestest thing on earth! If only we could keep that vibe into adulthood?

great to see a really happy family at play…

thnx

Hehehe, that was sweet and funny : )

got to love the little ones. I have 3 girls myself (ages 3; 10; 17) somehow I feel number 7 is my lucky number

by Jack from Briz

C U T E !!!!!!!!

It’s a great age! The world’s just a big playground.

Thanks Andrew!

ahhh bless…..

This is medicine. Watch it every day, and you will live 10 years longer:-) Thanks for sharing, Andrew.

Ken from Norway

WOW she’s so beautiful…congratulation…

aww so sweet like a piee congratss andrew my greetings for the family..

wow, she’ll definitely be having the same sense of humour as you do xD

Hi Andrew!

She’s beautiful! Fantastic ;) I can see that she’s a good Angel.

Thanks

You both should treasure these moments, they grow up so fast, I filmed my son from an early age, my wife and I look back at the videos to see how he has grown into a young man, as the saying goes, a picture paints a thousand words, but a video is priceless for memories.

Well done too you and your wife

HAHA…That is the best laugh I have heard in a loooong time. It’s like an episode of Family Guy, it just keeps going, and going. Haha. Very Cute…Congrats!

that is great. the laugh is too cute.

Wow, that’s a great clip. That’s one happy little girl you have there.

But please tell us Katie’s middle name doesn’t start with a K!

How cute. My friend’s son turned one not long ago and it’s pretty amazing how fast they learn. Now, when he hears music he dances and shakes around like a monkey. It’s so funny

Here’s a link to a video I made of his first birthday. I used the iPhone tune for it. I thought it was appropriate :)

http://vimeo.com/403495

dead sure, one of the best things you ever created!!! ;)

so… moments like these come and go, never forget to get the best out of every second in your life! unfortunately, such a happy family is so rare on the world.
never forget that!

=)

by morten enoksen

haha, got me laughing :’)

That is just so cute! :)

by Giovanni(Italy)

congratulation for your amazing family…

Katie! your dad’s a legend!
Anyway, can’t wait to have my own, maybe 5 years from now. hahaha. Still too young to be in that situation. Gonna finish school first then buy a real nice ring for my girl.

Nothing like havin’ a HD dad…

That was hilarious, she’s very cute. Congratulations.

and Oh by the way I noticed. Katie’s not having problems with you anymore unlike your Christmas family picture.

Great stuff Andrew!

Thanks for sharing. Reminds me to break out the camera. We have a one month old baby girl (she is our 8th — 5 boys now 3 girls) I have a lot of video of the earlier ones but not so much of the later ones. Cant wait to get a blu-ray to have a mega baby video.

You will love watching this even more in two years.

All the best

Tom

Very cute :)

WOW!!! That my friend was priceless. That made my day. Kids have a gift to make the simple things in life meaningful. I have four kids; 2,4,6,& 8. I Love It! Congrats my friend.

Haha it also made me laugh! she has the most funniest laugh i have ever heard=D she has grown up verry quickly by the way=O!

lol. adorable.

by ömer tatlisoz

oh my god :)

hellooo hello!!… little kramer….:)

very very good…..)

Me, jealous.

Wonderful! May all her life be filled with love, laughter and joy!!

I react the same way when people smack at balloons. I barely held it together watching that. :D

Cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so funny!

hahaha that is too adorable!

ahahahahahhaha… SO0O0O0 CUUUTE :D :D

I can’t wait to see the video effects she will be working on when shes older lol… perhaps how to make trapcode make a 3D balloon or something lol

rolf :D

Andrew she is very cute. I have two girls myself. Much older though. I remember those days. Cherish them. They grow up so fast. Have a good day.

Ha ha, I want to record that infectious laugh as a ringtone, way cute

:)

now i understand… u are the god (in my eyes)… and she’s look like an angel… you know… god mades angel:) happy holliday

Wow…that brought back some memories of my own Katie when she was little. It’s the little things that make life worth living. And what in the world is better than a beautiful laughing baby?

Moments like these make all those crappy nappies(diapers) worth while, i know because i have two boys, a two and a half year old and a one year old. i’d challenge the toughest man not to have a major heart melt moment when they hear their child laugh.

Andrew, beautiful baby…. Congratulations from Brazil…
:P

She’s so lovely!!!

by tommie12P(Thorsten Miess)

very cute! kids are laughing about everything, again and again. but they´re also crying about everything… ;)

Hi everyone, it’s Andrew Kramer here for Video Copilot, and have we got a tutorial for you today. To achieve this effect we used the after effects plugins, CCBalloon and set the shape to heart. We used Hue and Saturation on an adjustment layer to get the balloon to just the right shade of red. But the real magic comes in with the new Trapcode Babyticular plugin. Add this effect to your comp. Click on the ADD BABY drop down and select from the list of predefined babies if you so desire. For this particular project I selected CUSTOM and then added a baby that my wife and I designed a while ago. In the effects window Set cuteness to MAXIMUM. Raise the personality to ADORABLE, and then click on the advanced options twirly and set the Laughter to INFECTIOUS. Now what this setting does is to change the mood of the people viewing your completed project. At this high a level, the plugin insures that everyone who views your video will have their day brightened!! Well that’s all for now, be sure to check us out at VideoCopilot.net

Fantastic, Andrew. It sure brightened my day. How wonderful that we live in an age when we can film such treasured times. You have a beautiful family and It’s so nice to see a proud Papa and his little girl. My wife and I wish you and yours all the best. Thanks for sharing, and God Bless!

You have a beautiful daughter, andrew. really cute.

VERY SUSPICIOUS NOW!! :-)
ummm, I smell a rat with this… I’ve heard Andrew’s voice 100 times, and a few times, I’ve seen him in pictures of even video like this one, but NEVER, NEVER EVER have I ever seen him and heard him at the same time!!!! :-)

I think there’s something going on :-) All through this video, all we see is that man smiling but he never utters a word!!!

AHHH!!!!

reminds me when my little bro was that old, they always find the little things great. congratulations, ur a lucky guy

AFV material for sure hiihihih…

Very Cuteeeeeeeee!!!!

Nice

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Andrew — KEEP FILMING!!!

You’ll never get the chance to go back and get pick-up shots.

We had our third just so we could get the stuff we missed the first two times and STILL didn’t get it all.

What I do have I’ll cherish for ever. Plus, a few more years and it’s ALL coming out for the girlfriends!!

Peace.

Thanks for sharing that with us…I couldn’t stop laughing with her. Be sure to show her that on her 18th birthday in front of her friends…SMILES AROUND THE ROOM!!!

Dude, that is too cool! There is nothing like a child’s laughter!

that is genuinely lovely.

“She’s using her little video camera”

Jared

She has a beautiful smile………………….
I LOVE HOW SHE’S LAUGHING

These are the moments that you’ll forget, and the moments that show us how TRUE love feels…

And remember :

“Happy are those conscious
of their spiritual need.”—Matthew 5:3

An instant classic! My daughter is 4 months old now and her laughter is not quite that developed yet, but I tickle her every day and it won’t be long now…

Hi Andrew,

lol i think they are the cutest at that age. I have a nephew who always laughs like that when you pop bubble wrap, so he was so delighted at Christmas when the stuff was all over the place !

Keep up the good work.

Nice Videofile.
When we can see the Tutorial for that?
*lol*

greetz,

theAndreas

nothing in the world can compare with this type of family… not even the best tutorial in the world made in what program you want..

keep up the good work Andrew Kramer and take care of your family

btw: she is lovely

keep up the good work

hey super cool girl and so lovley go for it andrew
greets michel and famel;y

sooo sweet little girl! I Love AK and Katie! :P

bless my heart ……… she doesn’t look like u may more to her mammy ….. i can’t wait to see tuts of this little Kramer

Divine.

by the way i can’t play the video

You have a great family and a great carrer and A LOT of fans. You made it, Kramer!

That’s Awesome! Very Cute

@ Chris Coulson: Check out the deleted scene from the Designer Sound FX promo. You can see Andrew and hear him at the same time! Isn’t that great! :D

@ Andrew Kramer: Is your wife using a Canon HV20 (which is mentioned on your contact page)? It definitely looks like HiDef. I want to buy a HD-Camcorder. I’m looking at Canon HV30 at the moment, which is build similar to the HV20. But I’ve read, that HV20 has to much noise from the tape mechanism. The above footage sounds pretty good. If it was shot with the HV20, then it’s not bad for private videos.

by Juan Francisco

Thanks for sharing this, you have a nice family!

awwwwwwwww !! omg !! what a beautyyy !!! adorable laugh :)

but hey i still have a question … what camera u used to shoot this video for ur daughter :D :D ( i am serious )

very sweet family you have there ;)

you deserve it :)

I have a two year old turning 3 in april. What till about a year and 4 months, she’ll talk and talk and talk. And they’re like a echo, so watch your language, (about anything,non cussing related.

She’s so beautiful….

Clement (French boy…….)

Too cute!

dude, you’re a hottie

I’m really happy for you all!

That is a funny baby! She is cute.

humm you should make a tutorial like “how to make babys laugh”

and all you need is a balloon…

now seriously I was expecting her to turn on a lightsaber and get rid of that annoying levitating thing, maybe causing a action movie explosion.

baby jumps, frame freeze … “to be continued”

instant classic.

Awww how cute …Congratulations on your little girl!

best wishes for the future.
