Screenshot

It hurts me to say this… not that much though. But the Promos are taking a little longer than expected. All I can say is that the products are still launching on or before May 20th 2008 along with the promos. Here is a quick screenshot for the Bullet promo video. I wish I had more to show… well I do but I can’t, I would get fired.

Some issues just need necessary time for detail and explanation.

Andrew you are a Nine within this Digital World. If your Promos take
more time than expected we will wait patiently. But thank you for keeping
us up to date.

If you like you can check out my current 3D Movie project, maybe you
have a few short tips or a little review.

Theres something more to that screen shot than just a bullet ,,
Hmm what could it be???

May 19th, 2008 @ 2:55 am

There is no tutorial for the promo planned at this time. It actually was all last minute ideas, a little ambitious perhaps but it has been tons of fun. I begin speculating about future projects when this one is done…

Andrew, was any part of these tutorials done in 3D Apps, if yes which one? I cant just wait to see just the promo,

I know definately that the Bullet will be one of its kind. look forward toward the UnBeatabLE.

Andrew Kramer you are the source of talents. keep it up.

Blair89
May 19th, 2008 @ 4:20 am

Andrew,

I bought Aaron’s DVD “Internet killed video star”.
In the credits, he thanx you for the interface.
Well, I’ve picked up many video tutorials on the web (when there’re downlaodable, there aren’t here however but the series one is the way so nevermind).

I wonder how diffcult to make the interface is, in Flash I suppose, and I wish you could try a tut on that kind of stuff. Because it would be quite easier to check my tuts this way than in the navigator. I think many others here keep some tuts on their HD they like to be able to check quickly.

Of course I can do it in basic HTML code, with direct links pointing the video files. But I’d like to take it to the next level, if you see what I mean … I’m pretty good in Photoshop, so I don’t ask you about the graphics stuff or so, but the flash code is another tricky part to me …..

So please, give us the secret (what about an example of such a basic interface as a template .fla file ? we can dream, can’t we ?), please please please …

I know it’s not the subject here, as all the others I can’t stand waiting for The Bullet (are Steeve Mc Queen’s rushes contained in ??) … ;-) But I ptomise you a bottle of my best Burgundy wine if you find the time to show me how to : you prefer red ou white ?

Keep on good work, and don’t forget to take some rest.

Best regards from France.

I am from india.

Actually I want to talk to you and show you something
regarding fluid effects in After effects.
eg. , Realistic smoke, fire , liquid, clouds , dust.
is it possible in AE whitout using any fluid simulator.
I am working on that and i have done something.
Text convert to smoke and dissapear, fire flames, in a realistic way
although its not scientifically accurate.

Somebody should tell you guys that you don’t need to apolize for some delay. Everybody is waiting for products, tutorials and other stuff that are from exceptional quality for newbees and advanced users.

Take your time, nobody with a good amount of brains will complain about this! Take it easy, take your time for making the product that you and all the other guys from VCP are proud of!

Keep it up guys, well done !

Simon
May 19th, 2008 @ 8:35 am

Andrew I just have a question.

Do you work 24 hours?

Well I see u put that photo at midnight, next comment at 3am and last one 7am. If it is like that, than take some days off and spend some time with your family.

It is much more importend to spent some time with them, than working all the time. Seriously.

Dear mr. Kramer, We at VISA are standing by to process the money. Just make sure to have those downloads ready, especially the pipeline to The Netherlands.
People there are desperate for your products and are willing to learn all you have to offer. They see you as somekind of god or at least his son who came to earth to teach us all about the magical things you master so well.
Oh yeah, could you tell that wonderfull actor Sam Loya, we will send his money straight to his Swiss bank account as always.
Keep up your good work

THAT’S IT!
Andrew in front, Sam behind the camera and Sam teaches us great techniques. :-D

Andrew,

umm.. aren’t you the boss of this company? why would you get fired?

May 19th, 2008 @ 2:29 pm

@illd

Sure, but not for the classic tutorials – you pay ‘Zoll’ only for articles over 22€ (with effect from the first December, it’ 150€, not 22€ :-) ).
For the Advanced Tutorials it’s ca. 6€ ‘Zoll’, so you pay ~38€.
So everything’s fine.

@Andrew
I love the information and I love YOU! But I hate time-change. Here it’s already the 20th May -.-
But Tomorrow I’ll buy your DVDs, and when I can handle it due the order I pay Sam some Ice-Cream ;-)

Thats good news for german VCP freaks (as long the Euro will stay strong :) ) Untill now I just downloaded the stuff, I think I probably order the DVD…

But what do you mean: “with effect from the first December” ? Did I miss something?

Donovan
May 19th, 2008 @ 3:36 pm

hmm anyone care to discuss the screenshot? maybe the elements in it an even theories about how it can be recreated?

for example, i think a bumb map was used on the floor, which was positioned and created very similar to the grid tutorial.

The fogish effect in the background, is possibly created using fractal noise, as in with the “creating the blue planet” tutorial. Another fogish effect is in the foreground, this time smaller and more controlled.

As the text is shattering, there seems to be some external particles in there, possibly created using particular. (as per one of the recent short tutorials, can’t quite remember the name)

In terms of lighting, i think there’s maybe a white (or very light bluish) ambient light, a yellow, orangish point light could be behind the fog in the foreground.

The text itself, maybe done in a 3d program, not sure where the shattering was done.

I am no expert by any means lol, so i could be wrong about every single thing…what are u guys theories/ agreements/ disagreements?

mayb even andrew could tell me how far or close i was.
Andrew’s creativity is amazing when it comes to these things.

May 19th, 2008 @ 3:50 pm

yea thought me all i know…

Donovan
May 19th, 2008 @ 3:51 pm

http://tinyurl.com/3w5crh
I think it’s a little late; I just ordered some books from USA (I could by them here too, but there I pay 38$, here 42€…), and tomorrow I’ll order the DVDs from here.
I think there won’t be anything I want from America in the next few years :-)
But I think it’s great anyway; the ‘Zoll’ isn’t high for those things, so it’s ok.
Some time ago I wanted to buy an XL2 from USA; I mean: it’s simply insolent that they pay less in $ than we in €. The same with Adobe Products (it’s 1:1!). Then the taxes will brake your neck :-)

Regards,
Lucas

Christian
May 19th, 2008 @ 3:57 pm

I’d say it was mostly done in 3dstudiomax, the text and the floor… In the reflection of the explosion you can see real texture so this is the most likely case. The text is relecting the floor and casting shadows in the light so that was all done in 3d. The particles may be Particular but my bet is also 3d as they seem to envelope the lettering.

The cloudy backdrop is either a solid with tweaked fractal generation or perhaps a darkened clip from the Real Clouds collection.

May 19th, 2008 @ 7:22 pm

routine check, according to the time these messages are being posted, it looks like by the time its 4 a.m. here, it will be the 20th for VC. So when I wake up tomorrow, I will be able to order my copy of “The Bullet” , and of course see the promo.

May 19th, 2008 @ 7:32 pm

this is like when people camp out to buy star wars tickets. it’s so funny.

i’m totally guilty too; i snuck back to my computer every chance i could this weekend to see if the promos were up. looking forward to getting my hands on the bullet.

andrew- must be nice having such a dedicated following.

May 19th, 2008 @ 7:43 pm

I love STAR WARS and V.C. so I keep coming back to my mac like every 30 seconds. come on man give us an update! or we will take it from you! RIOT RIOT RIOT RIOT RIOT RIOT WE WANT THE PROMOS NOW!!!!!

May 19th, 2008 @ 7:45 pm

you guys are beyond amazing. I am taking a digital animation class and I asked my teacher if he has ever heard of videocopilot.net and he said, “OH YEAH, Andrew Kramer is the Adobe god.” lol

05:43 in the morning, 20th of May, again woke up early to see and order but :( nothing here?

Well the time differences are now confirmed… So it’ll be 3 am by me when the dvd comes out. Well the promo is now really close to being release, some delays have come up causing it to be postponed until further notice, or he plans to launch it all at once…

Only time will tell…

May 19th, 2008 @ 8:36 pm

Ummm… May 19th, 9:36pm

How much longer do we have to wait? (I’m KIDDING!!!)

You have some serious Video Copilot fans here watching their clocks.

That screen grab looks awesome. As does the DVD cover. You really have an eye for quality work.

May 19th, 2008 @ 8:37 pm

Hmm… I have Google Desktop with a World Clock application… But what is the name of the timezone you’re using Andrew? So I can adjust it, and know the exact time you’re following. It’s kinda confusing, I’m in norway, and the time here is 06:36 AM… Thinking of going to bed…

Anyways, take your time Andrew, as long as its out in good time for christmas :) (If not, I will seriously be disappointed…) But I guess that will not be a problem. Keep up the good work.

May 19th, 2008 @ 9:14 pm

Just wondering Andrew, how long did/will it take you to render out the Bullet promo? Also, do you render using the computer stated in the FAQ section of this site (Intel C2D Q6800, etc)?

Rob
May 19th, 2008 @ 9:18 pm

AK, congratulations with your anniversary!!!

I don’t know if I am maybe to late/early because of the time difference?

Have a succesfull release and I hope you are going to earn a lot of bucks from us to buy her a big present!!!!

This will b the product of a lifetime, I Guess. The Bullet has made such a craze to this community that this WAIT will be remembered for a lifetime.

The bullet is in the air, whos the first to see it ???? :)

We all r waiting Andrew………….

May 19th, 2008 @ 9:53 pm

to all indiana jones fans out there, please when the movie is released, don’t go with high expectations. As we are asured that will be brillaint, if we got on high expectations we might expect too much and get disappointed. i mean its been awhile and i think just to have indy back on the screens to good for enough me.

enjoy it for just being indiana

(if all that made sense)

Cant wait! This will be the best thing i will so far be spending money on.

I guess i know why its taking so long. Sam tried on the 7th take of the bullet and shot Andy!!!. He’s is in ICU and Sam took over. He’s the boss! He gave andy only one chance to show his showcase only one frame of the promo lest he gonna be fired!!!

And guys, thats just the first frame of the main thing!!! Kramer, we understand the rush coz we too go thru this, Good luck and ENDA MOS MOS.( Take it easy in swahili)

All da best!!!! Thanks for the effort yo showing just for us!!!

Some Indiana Jones Facts
FIVE RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK
The biplane in the opening of the film has the identification letters OB-CPO, a shout-out to Star Wars’ Obi-Wan Kenobi and C-3PO. Also, in the Well of Souls, C-3PO and R2-D2 are among the figures on the wall of Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Tim
May 20th, 2008 @ 12:33 am

I’m pretty sure Andrew meant May 20th – Los Angeles time.

I think that will be around 5 – 6pm in Europe. Just breathe deep, I’m sure it will be worth the wait. ;)

Randito
May 20th, 2008 @ 1:09 am

I feel the same as most of you…I cant wait to buy the DVD’s. I have been working all night and it is 4am here and still nothing to order. =(

I wanted to order before going to sleep this morning, does not look like its going to happen….the torture Andrew…the torture!!

sicu
May 20th, 2008 @ 1:22 am

Polyboost is a great add-on utility for 3dsmax. It gives you so much more control when modeling and will in many cases prove to be a huge time-saver. I feel like a commercial now, but what the heck, I will advertise great products anyday. VCP ftw ;) Ready to drain my creditcard at the release of Bullet. Hoping for a complete bundle ^^

Sandy
May 20th, 2008 @ 1:24 am

Its already 20th May, 3:00 pm here.

@illd
It’s not my problem – there’s still Student-Prices and soon I’m starting my study for Digital Film. I have to work with Final Cut and stuff, but thanks to god even Apple knows that After Effects is simply the best… :-)
Maybe I can count with AK’s work there, with the bullet :-D

@ Lucas:

Student-Prices are a nice thing, but when you finished your studies you have to pay the full price. But I think untill then, the prices at adobe will have changed.

By the way, where do you study?

let talk abour render pass

May 20th, 2008 @ 3:48 am

I hope there aren’t any problems or anything… It’s either AK is ready to release it, or there’s some kind of technical difficulty. Comon Andrew, give us an update so I can give you the money!!!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

May 20th, 2008 @ 3:51 am

@illd
Even if not, then I’m a high-payed VFX :-D
I mean, I’m not a student right now – I got my Abi last year.

I’ll study in Hamburg at the SAE. Some people think it’s crap and stuff, but I think it’s a good choice – I mean, try to get to Ludwigsburg.
It’s damn expensive, but I think (or hope :-D ) it will be nice. Last year I went there to inspect the location, and I think it will be nice :-) I’m searching a flat right now. Real-Life (with paying for flats, for all on your own) is silly :-)
