Hilarious man. Half of the reason I come here is for the jokes. Thanks!

thanks for all the great work

Wayhayy Mr.Kramerr.. thanks alot for your input into myy hobby! muchh care
x

haha do you just spend hours looking up stupid stuff on wikipedia?

I still have all my pogs. I’m going to be rich some day!

“Stupid”? You must be misinformed about Pogs.

Actually though, I think about interesting topics and there always seems to be a wikipedia page with info.

So happy i am still awake :p I live in Belgium its 1.29h at night now xD

Thanx Andrew great work as always!!

HE LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVES!!!!!!!!!!! I got worried there for a second…

MUZHIIIIIIIIK!
thanks Andrew…

Welcome back Andrew!

Thanks for the tutorial but am I alone in thinking I would rather see tutorials showing techniques used to make commercials on TV. That is where the money is, not making my own little hole in the ground.

Some of the graphics I see on television are much more impressive than this and can be applied to many more ideas and areas of graphic display than a smoking hole.

To me, Video Copilot is regressing in spite of Mr. Kramer’s effort. This is stuff is time and energy you will never be able to get back. What a shame!

is great tutorial andrew!
greetings from chile

Last line should read “This stuff is time and energy you will never be able to get back.”

Doubt you will post this so consider it feedback from someone that is not a teeny bopper and has cash to spend for your products however I have most of them ‘cept for a couple or three…

Is the next tutorial going to also be about rocks?

Thanks so much for all of these, Andrew. Very helpful. Much appriciated.

A quick question. Just saw the first episode of Fringe. All these 3D text elements through-out it … your work?

Greetings from Norway.

Siiiii!!!
Por fin la 3ra parte Kramer!
Gracielaaa

YAAAAAAAAAY! After days of work and troubleshooting I finally got to the end of pt 2. And look what comes out the next day! I am super excited to finish this series.

Thank you Andrew for all you do. I love you man. Keep ‘em coming!

PS. Everybody needs to buy Andrew’s products and support what he does.

Thanks Andrew you are the best.

THATS IT! thanks a lot Andrew Kramer

THANKS ALOT !!! we all wish you the best for you future. God bless you!!!

Great!
Thanks Andrew Kramer

In spain pogs = Pokemon’s tazzos

Dude, I love humor. The alien jumping out of the crater is fabulous. But in all honesty I had originally hoped you added a War of the Worlds type creature coming out of it but I know that would have been some extensive work.

Hey, thank you

I woke up this morning, VCP was the first thing on my mind and, boom! The last piece was up! Thanks Andrew! Your tutorials are not everything. It is the only thing!

@Harold: yes, VCP is alway the first site i check before my work begin

finally……!!!
thanks Andrew !
keep going up….:)

Thanks Andrew….finally….GREAT!!!

Thousands of people in Barcelona says:

Andrew Puto Amo!
Andrew Puto Amo!

(translate: Andrew you are lovely!!!)

Awesome!

offtopics:

fringe01×04 there is a warehouse-lab called S.A.KRAMER manufactures.(good work)
fringe01×06 we have a girl called Kramer.

Ummm, interesting, very interesting…

Thanks for all!!!!

yeaeas baby, finally , ok where is the new AE tutorial you promised? you said it would come along with pt3.
kidding…no hurry…we have to wait its worth it

Awesome! =D It would be cool if the project file could contain the clip of the thing you made in the previous tutorials, since I’m still a noob at 3ds max. =)

finally
long time since we heard from you

Thanks! It looks great.

AK, did you do this intro?

i can see those particles in your tutorials…

thank you Andrew!!!!!!!!

Did you know, ‘Poggs’ in Holland called: ‘Flippo’s’…
too funny, never tought about a translations of that!

good tutorial btw!

Thanks Andrew.. You rock!!!

Awesomee..
i was about to support you and buy your products, but then the australian dollar crashed.
cant afford it now
the day will come.
keep it up

Kramer could beat Jay Leno with his jokes .

But a really bad joke is that boujou messes up the PAR!
Such an expensive Software and its interpreting the PAR wrong, cant believe it…

It doesn’t mess it up exactly, there are just different ways of dealing with PAR. Depending if you are preparing for 3d rendering or for AE. It IS an in-depth concept that needs to be designed for your workflow, but it can be done.

Ok,

but how to calculate the value for the cameraexpression inside AE? Is it always the value 1.11, or is there a formula for calculating the numbers for different Videoformats?

I learned so much from Andrew’s tutorials. I accidentally made a time freeze using Boujou and Cinema 4D 9.6 and After Effects.

Thanks again, Andrew!

Greetings from Downtown L.A.

1.11 = 10/9 is the inverse of 0.9 = 9/10

I am very happy that I watched this tutorial as I learned about the 1.11. This has screwed me up in the past when I tried to add tracking data to my live action footage. Now I know why!
Thank you Andrew Kramer for all of your efforts to educate us and keep up interested in Video Effects.
Thank you everyone who has and continues to support Andrew. Without your interest in what he does, there would likely be no motivation to create new tutorials.
By the way, for all of you guys who ONLY watch the free tutorials, you are missing out. With “The Bullet” for instance, there are several tutorials that are much more concise and explained. He also is nice enough to create in depth tutorials for 3DStudio Max, After Effects, I think Blender and Maya as well. Project files included and example saves.
I am just putting this out there for those of you are expecting more of the same type tutorials as the free ones.
I thank you Andrew, I have learned so much from you and many of those who are associated with CC as well. Thanks!

Camera Tutorial for Kinatics Plz
Kind Regards

@Beda.

Thanks for the formula. Its so obvious after you explained it, but i always sucks when it comes to maths

Awsome, its finally up. I just got back from my honeymoon. Now I need to hurry and do this tut before Nov. 7th comes around. Gears of War 2 will be keeping me quite busy for a while.

Andrew ftw.

Well, that’s what you get for breaking the stingy and narrow-minded sketches of knowledge sharing… and instead of 3 minute long tutorials on how to draw a line in AE… he takes enough time of his tight agenda to teach us sophisticated techniques which normally would only be available for few at speciali$$$ed institutes and such places. Yeah, alright… I’m sure that for more than one he must be the “Val Valentino” of AFX… but who cares ? Apples are all the same.. it’s how you make the pie what counts. Great job Mr. AK. and 1000 thanks.
Greetings from Costa Rica

AK, I know you are very busy but I would like to ask your new products for a long time to come out
btw，would you please introduce your secret project for us？ I very much look forward to it sorry for my bad english

Thank’s a lot Andrew! Do you think you could do a halloween special? I dont mind if it comes late!!! just something spooky…

I still have a huge plastic container of Poggs, they are still very fun.

Hey Andrew what’s up? I wonder if we are going to experience a tutorial on how you treated the original footage to get that beautiful tones out of it!
Thanx a lot for the great tutorials! They are of great help!

Time Freeze (Time Stop) Effect in Heroes Explained by Anthony Ocampo. (Filipino VFX Artist)

http://heroeswiki.com/Inside_Heroes#Visual_Effects

Boujou can be used as the tracking program. 3DS Max, Maya, C4D, etc. can be the 3D package. Green Rigs to hold actors, etc. See for yourself.

Andrew, wanna give it a go?!

Yeah its Halloween! Any plans for tutorials?

Hey Andrew (or anyone)

In one of these tuts, you used a Matte Shadow material on a plane to cast shadows from objects on to it (and appear to cast shadows on the background image). I find that only works with Scanline Renderer. Is there a similar method or material with Mental Ray? Thanks.

D

Long time fan, im sure a lot of ur leachers would be fascinated to know how you actually film/capture those ink/smoke/fairy floss FX; I assume u have a sweet keyable setup, but we only see ur street and screen capture stuff, plus a tangent of humour up my alley, cept 4 the alien, ahem… mabe post some quick 3rd person footy of how it’s how. Andrew ur a legend and thank you for helping me through university. Gime a bell if u need a floor sweeper
JK

BTW yea we have puters in Australia now, we get vista next week, but I’ll pass coz i gotta save up for a new crocodile

Hey Andrew,

I just found this site. It’s amazing!!!!
I needed to learn about Real time footage and 3D combining for school. Thanks mate!

These are awesome!! Don’t stop making them !
Your helping lots of people out there!

@ Harold: thats a cool Link you´ve posted, Thanks!

Sorry for posting this here. I have created a thread for this on the forums.

Here’s another link. Time Freeze in Heroes expalined further.. almost.

http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/video/clips/visual-effects/137166/

Great.
since all those 3d tutorials I started a little with 3d software too. watch my first real 3d modell here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcwbpmvhV8g
it’s quite good for a first time :p I used 3d studio max for the modelling and animation, and after effects for the colorcorrections. I’m not a pro yet, but thanks Andrew, for the chance you’re giving us.

Jesper

Andrew,

I thought there was going to be a special halloween tutorial:(

Andrew, Could you explain us how to make sparks in AE, please?

The meteor multi-tuts can themselves be used as halloween tuts… use your creativity

Hey Andrew i will like to you upload steak dinner.

Andrew: I’ve been slammed at work the last 3 months and have missed a lot of the VC tuts and blog. Finally I’m back to viewing VC daily once again! Thanks for taking the time to share your vast knowledge of FX software! Your latest tuts are awesome!

Hey, I know you probably have already mentioned it, but who won the T-Shirt contest, and did you ever have any printed.

hey andrw! why you dont teach us how to film theses video with pure black/white in the background?? Is prety useful for vfx makers! =DD

Hey Andrew, how’s it going? Are you gonna release some introductory/presentation video tut about the new AE CS4? Would be nice!

Cheers!

nice!

Andrew, you HAVE to do a tutorial on the first video. I dont know what it is, but theres something about it. It calls to me

Please Please Please, you’re amazing.

whoops, wrong topic. I meant that comment for the post with the fog the “above the rest” one

Great …
but Is there any other –not expensive- software which can do the job?

very very cool, thanks a lot!
