4:30 am on September 8th, 2008

On Wednesday September 10th, I’ll be releasing our mini-movie. More like a worthless excuse to use visual effects, oh well
I finished the VFX and now all that is left is soundtrack and audio mixing. The release date for the tutorials has not been set but they will be released very soon in 2 waves, the first set and then the second set. On Wednesday you will see the 2 shots I am referring to and what you can expect to learn. It’s pretty serious stuff!
Great Poster. Can’t wait to see the overrated movie.
Andrew, if you were trying to whet people’s appetities, I think you’re doing a great job
I’m looking forward to seeing the ‘film’ so popcorn is at the ready……
Wauw, I like the darkness around it!
Must be something great coming towards us.

“Not even lens flares can save us”
LOL
I’m waiting impatiently too. From what you said so far, it looks like it’s an effect I tried in the past, so it will be interesting to see how better it will be

Pretty cool!!! Thanks Andrew! I can’t wait.

He looks so afraid at the same time like everything is UNDER-control
Awesome!
I foresee a bandwidth spike at September 9, 2008 at 11:59PM.

Over-Rated… I think not…
Waw it looks great
Can’t wait to see it !

Will we be learning to input those glasses digitally on someone’s face also? hehe
I think this is my first time commenting, why now? because that poster looks awesome and I’m VERY curious about those tutorials.
Thanx Andrew for all you’ve done, I don’t think you or any of us realize sometimes that what you are doing here on this site really helps people and have made much appreciated differences in people’s lives.
See you in heaven mate,

Charl…
Nigeria
oo mannnn…!! pleaaaase…
I CANNOT wait for this… actually i can but you know what i mean…! “Lense flares cant save us!” thats hilarious!
unfortunately no Sam , maybe in the sequel
Now that’s what am talking about..^:)^^:)^
Awesome! So pumped! Andrew can any of us RED fanboys expect to see you with one anytime soon?
look awesome
can’t wait, great work Andrew
Hello from Mauritius
can’t wait
lol “Not even a lens flare can save us” hahahaa, Andrew you are a god.
Yoo release some tutorials on making most of the VFX int he movie?
dat iz krazzy man……u rock andrew
urk… This movie is so overrated :/ Just like !
But yeah! Looking forward to it.
Tino looks like Moby.
woaa! not even a lens flare can save you? a lens flare can do everything! Ths gotta be worse :D!
Wow good idea to use a movie as an excuse to teach us great things:) I don’t really like the poster though, It’s a little dull, the face isn’t that well photoshopped and the title is somewhat small in comparison to the other text (I do definitely like the humor;))
However, I’m really looking forward to this movie and the tutorials of course.
Keep up the good work,
Greetings from Holland
I’m so upset…
I always rely on the lens flares and they’ve never let me down before…
If not the flares, how about Sam?
Fantastic
Shame sam is not in it… Anyway, how long is this mini movie? It sounds great!
There will be no survivors, like the dinosaurs ,the age of Men comes to its END…
Ha Ha Ha Ha ha ha ha [ cough ]
Great poster! Waiting for this great stuff. What does this man make at this time? Yes, you never know!
Tino looks kinda like Chester from Linkin Park in that poster. Maybe he can scream at the meteors to make them go away. lol. CRAAAAAAAAWLING IN MY SKIIIIIN~
That’s probably the best poster in the history of posters.

woow:P realy beautifull Andrew! Tino (i guess it’s Tino) looks just like Rambo on his poster:P…i would pay a entrance ticket for this:P
-Cheers
Awesome Andrew cant wait keep up the good work! Your an asset to the world of VFX.
looks sweet! cant wait!
Andrew, is it ok if u tell us how you made that light shine? please
AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!
CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR THE PREMIER !!!
Ya, he knows people are crawling around the web-site in anticipation . I appreciate all the knowledge given as it’s benefited everything I have been doing lately for our production company.
speaking of linkin park… lol @ one of my first great creations . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADylxilkNRA
This is going to be a great great tutorial…
I cant wait anymore….
Thanks from Costa Rica.
haha… thanks andrew..
Andrew,
Your website plus my video toys keep me alive and kicking. I and my neighborhood-movie-star grandkids thank you.
Man…you never fail to impress me.
WOW !
I CAN¨T WAIT
KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK ANDREW !!
finally some (mini)production from Andrew!! I just cant wait to see it! great job!
and I am just guessing that the METEOR 2 (the revange of the lens flare!) will be perform by Sam!!??
May the Lens flare be with us !
HEY… WAIT A MIN…
ANDREW.. DID YOU DISOWN SAM!!!
He looks like a geeky terminator!
I cant wait andrew. How much is it?
Love the tagline!
I don’t know why but the horn rimmed glasses just make that poster.
Oh yeah havent seen sam recently! Is he busy elsewhere?
No Sam!
Tino’s cool…but where has sam been recently…..Any way awesome stuff CANNOT WAIT !
“not even lenseflares can save us”
LOL!
I’m expecting this mini-movie to be more than
“Oh no, a meteor! Run!”
BOOM!!
“Wowsie!”
But still, it would be satisfying
Nar thats the dude From REM not Tino
I m just excited abt it too..
waiting for it..
i always wanted to see a short film made by Andrew Kramer. Now all i can do is hope that Meteor 2:My Bad comes out soon.
Does anyone know how to make those horisontal blue lensflares?
wauw , can’t wait!
Awesome… Waiting for it…
wooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
looks amazing ( as usual )
1. shot : looking up and he sees the meteor. since the camera is only shacking he can track in AE.
2. meteor lands on the street. the camera goes around the big hole in the street. for this he needs boujou. so here he tracks with boujou and then in 3d studio max he creates the hole. then imports in AE for tweaking.
this is what i think will happen.
Andrew.. do you EVER make bad stuff? really amazing what you’re doin here man.
Wonderful, I can’t wait.
Goooo Andrew!
“Not even lens flares can save us”
LOL
You’re goofy. :p
How long this “mini movie” will be long??
It’s gonna be the GREATEST tutorial EVER!!! :O
I’ll take my lady with me to the opening night…
not that I have one tho..
Posted at 4:30 am, my god man do you ever sleep?
Cannot wait for the new mini-movie and tutorials, Its gonna be awesome…
who’s got time for sleep lol . I myself was working until 2:30 am on a high school football game . . . and it’s done .
Wowwww…We can wait for an earthquake of FX…
Thankkkkksss…

Hi Andrew,
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your work. I discovered your site about 2 weeks ago and I haven’t been off it much since!
It’s incredible that you have an open source approach to sharing info with us, and that is truly awesome - thank you so much!
All the best
Felicity

I am sorry but Tino kinda reminds me of the crazy brother in the movie alpha dog. I am looking forward to this movie.
-R

@ FLUBBER
Wow, those videos are really interesting. They got me thinking about things i never even considered possible before. But anyways, I got some inside details on the movie:
Rating: SC (social outcast only)
Runtime: 4.5 seconds
Haha. Looking forward for sure, appreciate the dates line up.
This wait is like really needing to go after 10 pints and the Q is going nowhere
painful
how long is the mini-movie?
60 seconds or so.
Awesome poster, Andrew
I’m really looking forward to Wednesday
Hey Tino’s name is Hertz
How cool is that!
Wow cant wait!!
wow andrew, looks great
was this idea in any way inspired by lil ol me? I remember once commenting that you should make a little movie and then use it as a teaching tool. though i bet you that you will do more with it than i ever imagined.. hehe.
well, regardless if i had any part in it or not, im still psyched ^^
Love the poster design!!!
That is really exciting!
Amazing a always Andrew! Very excited to see what you got for us next. But take your time. We’re not going anywhere..
I absolutely love over-rated films by the way..
Well that’s a sweet bday present!
The 10th is my birthday =)
hhaha you need to show us how to do those blue light flairs in your poster
or in music videos lol.
All of your hearts is awaits glory in release of cinemas by Master Misters Kramer. My families gathering plan for great meal upon such night for views of American Tino. Was lense flares in meteros? My country is belonging of many gods. My families is worshiped Kramer, god for learning of TV. My sons are built shrine of Kramer in our room. My families are wants for making cinemas, Kramer. Is your teachings of us for learning to do dreams. Please Kramer to gives blesses of my families for cinemas but wives for sons and harvests.
Blesses and Prayers from nation of Comoros.
Hahahaha!!! I loved the “not even lens flare can save us”
It must be a really good movie, right?
Can’t wait to see them in the theaters
Thnks 4 Everything!
CaioP2
Cool stuff Andrew! Are you playing any part, or are you getting a cameo?
I think Andrew changed, he no longer lives with us.
Ah, man, you made me laugh! “The most over-rated film ever” killed me! And I didn’t even add any effects to enhance my death.
Also, I know how to do bugs under skin thanks to you! Keep up the tutorials.
are the tutorials already recorded? i guess not since you finished the vfx yesterday.
LOL looks like the new “Cloverfield” in terms of cheese.
The color correction on Tino is really great Andrew. Guessing the poster was all done in PS?
Cool!!!!!!!!!!
Hey I am, looking forward to this, I have been lurking on this site for ages, now I think it is time to let myself be known.
I am impatient to see that
Like everyone else i am really looking forward to see this piece of work. Like in the past keep up you’re good work. Thanks to all at VideoCopilot.
A little white lie: When we went to France to take some panorama shoots we saw this wall and took a picture. Guess what. The evening we spend in the local cinema.

Andy….do you remember T-shirt contest? it was ages ago i even do not remember when it was….19th century? someone said that we finally will have this previlege to know who the winner was…but newermind who cares?
ANDY ANDY ANDY…?
why do all you crazy americans put the date backwards???
9. 10 . 08 ???
it should be day — then month — then year ;o)
might even boycott this whole tutorial now just because of that!! haha
http://www.videocopilot.net/blog/2007/08/tutorial-set-extensions/
Andrew keeps his promises! even if they take him a year.
we want to poster tutorial, but super poster(light and darker and photo quality)it s wonderfull…:)
I want to see the movie now! x’(
Looks great, i hardly post but this is extemly awesome
cant wait.
hey Andrew !!!

WOW NICE!!! Did you use CURVES AND LEVELS for the movie posteR??????

hey guys ![]()
just wondered what “the most over-rated film ever!” means in german? anyone got a translation for this? ^^
thanks
gr8 poster, gr8 tutorials, gr8 website btw! =)
Great poster! I like making mockup poster even if its just for a written project. I love the headings and subheadings. Hertz is german for Heart - makes sense that frequenzy is measured in Hertz. Not that this all matters for outrunning a Meteor… but maybe if you get the resonant frequency of the Meteor… you can burst it appart??
Hi Andrew!
I have learnt more from your site than any place else, and wish i had found it much earlier, will definitely make it up to you soon, Guru!!
-Mannu
hey you need a soundtrack?
I don’t know whether you do it on your own..but I kinda think this one would fit in perfectly :p

cheers
@Knight:
The most over-rated film ever =
Der überbewertetste Film aller Zeiten
:p
It’s wednesday!
At least in Norway. Can’t wait to see the mini-movie
Just curious - you mention you’re doing sound mixing, but where do you get your sounds for projects? I already purchased your “Designer Sound FX” but that still hasn’t seemed to be enough… or maybe I’m just not creative enough with what I have…? Anyhow, any pointers at all would be fantastic.
hehe, today is the day
dumm die dumm, i am waiting for the mini movie
Yes today is the day.. Can’t wait for it.
im so exited
cnt wait to c it
I can’t wait for this one…
hehe..
Tnx Andrew!!!
Da macht es unser Freund Andrew aber wieder extrem spannend
Ich sitz hier schon auf heoßen Kohlen und schau alle halbe Stunde auf die Seite… Aber nix passiert
awseom !
Way, can’t wait to see this!
In germany it’s about 4 p.m., so i think Nikolaus and I still have to wait so hours!
Looking forward to this!
Great work Andrew, and many greetings from Germany
Cheers
der Tag ist noch nicht vorbei Nikolaus !!!
Ich zweifel übrigens das mehr als ungefähr 1% von videocopilot.net besuchern Deutsch 100% verstehen können. Probieren Sie besser auf Englisch (oder 50 - 50%)
its wednesday!!!!!
@Aleyandro
Das ist mir klar das nicht jeder hier deutsch kann
Aber mein Englisch ist eher crap und mir war gerade danach
wt tym iz d premier………..cnt wait to c it
Naja, ich finds nicht schlecht auch mal was Deutsches hier zu lesen, dann weis man gleich dass man nicht allein ist
Time zone, i hate you!!
8.00 am in L.A. - 5.15 pm in Paris
I hope Andrews wakes up early
Darn, I’ll probably have to wait till tomorrow to see the mini-movie, ’cause it’s almost nighttime here…
Yeah me too. Gotta go to sleep soon.
it´s 1240pm here in CHILE and still waiting for the movie….
