Although I’ve been a little under the weather this week, I still spent a healthy amount of time developing content and ideas for the site. 2009 is going to hold many surprises and more tutorials than any other previous year. Not to mentions the products in development will blow your mind! Possibly in a literal sense… wait, that’s too obvious. Oh well.
Now if my voice doesn’t come back soon, I’ll have to type everything up and use one of those computer speech programs. Not a bad idea…

3D MODELS

















haha, well i hope you get better, and no, we don’t want you to use the computer speech programs!
lol – what a crazy video
yes,not bad idea
Come on blow up our mind
Tell us!
that would be very fast tutorials and I dont think youd be able to keep up with keys and mouse..
thank you for everything! you taught me so much I can really use for my job at a TV station in germany. you inspired me and i guess many other people, too. so thanks again and i’m really looking forward for new stuff!
Haha, c’mon, tell us your secrets!
Will it be editing like The Bullet or more like Evolution? I like text effects.
Or you could let Sam do a tutorial as a special event. Well… maybe not. But he could overvoice one. We still wanna learn from the master!
hope you get better
thanks for al you do as always. btw – i think it would be great if someone created a computer speech program in the voice of that movie announcer guy (not to be confused with the movie phone guy). that would rock.
Computer speech programs……hmmmm……you really are turning into RoboCop aren’t you?
Get well soon!
MAN! What product???? Mind-blowing? Literal? The site had some problems by the morning righ? It said the forum was out to lunch and then i couldn´ta access VC anymore…but now things are good and i will be anxiously waiting to know the ANOTHER mind blowing product.
Computer speech program why not.. i think it would be cool and different.i hope you get better soon you know what i do when i feel down, take all kinds of vitaminas and see some tuto
haha..nice video..here’s another one:

and the “blow your mind!” i cant wait!!!!!!!
sorry for my bad english, im from Argentina.
I have a theory, the suicide tutorial shows you how to blow your head up, using action movie essentials, is it possible that there will be a sequal to this popular product?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
aaaaaaw so sad sir, you are still struggling with you voice, plz take care, we all need you healthy, tuts can b tolrated for some days but be healthy soon, nd yes as everybody said vid is funny

I can’t even imagine VC doing more than you already have done so far. Which makes visiting this site all the more fantastic.
YES! BLOW MY MIND!!!
Please do.

A lot of people have been under the weather here in Caldwell, ID to……..*the freezing cold weather* : )
hahahahaha, i like how on that youtube page everyone said “Andrew sent me”
and the last guy said “who the eff is andrew”
xD
that made me laugh out loud for reals.
Dont forget people, alot of folks OUTSIDE this website, dont no Andrew by first name.
I’m guessing he is talking about Action Movie Essentials 2.
GO GO GO ANDREW!!!!I wish i could meet you in New York if i would live there i would definatily go to this event just to say hello to you

Hmmmm… mind blowing eh? sounds interesting! Cant wait! (sounds gory)
Cool man. I hope you feel better. I’m officially excited about the possibility of a mobile version of VCP because I literally just got an ipod touch about an hour ago.
That would actually be kinda funny to hear your sense of humor being spoken by the same voice as the youtube preview voice or something hehe.
Cool man, take care.

“Blow your Mind” … something like little pieces of brain flying around
“Action Movie Essentials – Violent Edition” ^^

Hey guys i just wanna tell you about the product evolutions, i think videocopilot is a great site and i just wanna say that i saw a few animations of the evolution product in the grammys tonight was very awesome see that videcopilot is growing and groinw thank you andrew thank you guys..
I’m here on my PC (doing some video stuff) and my TV is on. I happen to look over and there it was, Video Copilot’s Flourishes in the background of The Grammys!
(PS. This is my very first post). I have lots of respect and admiration for people like you (VCP) keep up the awesome work. A lot of us really appreciate it.
Just watching the Grammy awards tonight and saw some VCP evolution elements in some the background displays. Nice!
Hey Mr. Kramer, let me tell you how thankful I am for finding people as talented and patient like you.
I got most of your dvds and with your tutorials you make our life much simpler.
Congrats and keep up the good work.
I play in a band, and your tutorials just help me gather new ideas and tools for upcoming videos.
P.D. of course I’m not Iron Man, but that’s my alias
Wow. EVOLUTION all over the grammies. Maybe some RIOT GEAR too?
Hey Andrew,
just wanted to tell you that your site is one in a million. Its hard to find sites like this that give you free access to such great tutorials, and all the other awesome stuff you have here. Not to mention your fanbase
Keep up the awesome work, and get well soon!!!
Fires in Australia
Our community was lucy, only loosing 9 houses and the Golf Club. plus other smaller items.
News just in that 130 people killed from our fires in Victoria, Australia.
humour transcends all languages so text an a hawking will do just fine, is it just a usual hangover or ru actually crook? make a vid about it or stop bn the funniest pr**k on the web:) greetings from oz
I love sneak previews… hope one is up soon.
Andrew Kramer. I’m beginning to think you aren’t real. I’m beginning to think you are made up by evil machines that really want to control us by giving us something totally and utterly awesome. I think these evil machines put subliminal messages in your tutorials that give them control over our minds bit by bit. With every free awesome tutorial… the machines get more of our brains.
I think Video Copilot is too good to be true. You guys are freaking awesome. But I… Dave B… have unearthed the truth.
I’m totally just playing. Get well soon Andrew… we wouldn’t want Sam hosting these tutorials now would we??? Lol.
“Hey wassup guys! Sam Loya here with another GREAT tutorial…” … It just doesnt work.
how about some tutorials regarding Heroes-FX (fire, lightning, plasma hands, etc.) in 2009? You already did the healing effect, but there are plenty more ideas in Heroes.
Thanks Andrew

Hi !
The text runs from one point to another along a certain line.
How it to make?
i would LOVE it to be Action Movie Essentials 2!
This is the greatest website ever!
Andrew Kramer is a Visual FX God!
I was so pleased when i saw the grammys it was like “WOW omg i regognise those elements;)”
Seems to be loads of speculation about the mind blowing thing being AME 2
well, whatever it is..it came from this site and therefore it will be AWESOME!
Lol, we’re all hoping for some sneak previews can’t wait for the next blog post!
Get well soon, Andrew!
I was thinking that a tutorial to make the Ghostbusters particle accelerator beams would be cool…
Just sayin’
r.
woot!!!
head explosion tutorial!
As if anybody is ‘above’ the weather. We’re all under it.
Unless, maybe if you were in an aeroplane. Or in space. Or somewhere else above it.
My point is most of us are under it.
Hey Buddy
Thanks for the site!!!!
Why don’t you wow us with more smoke effects.
I’ll greatly appreciated !!!

No! Andrew Please dont do that !
I love Yours comments i yours tutorials:)
Forgot to says somthing …. Great fan of yours
Hey man – just wanted to say thanks for all the great tutorials. An idea for an upcoming tut: wipes/transitions that TNT (cable channel) is using right now. Looks like something you could whip up quickly! It looks like tutorial 30 and 18 but on a path instead of an expression…
Andrew sir i m great fan of urs. I use many ideas u shared with us in india and nepal. So ur da boss man. Whole india n nepal’s ae users r ur fan that means more than 300 million people pray 4 u. Get wel soon.
Hi Andrew,
You probably needed a break….Is there anyway you can do a tutorial on kinetic typography? It is very popular and would look good with your products like Riot Gear!
There is only one tutorial on the web I can find and its not that good. If you could do a quick one, that would be awesome. You might be a great FX guy, but your a natural teacher as well!
Thanks,
Paul
OOOOk … we wait … pluged-in … in your site … all day … waiting, and waiting … and waiting.
Take care Andrew.
Hey Andrew,
Just want to let you know I bought AE CS4 and am attending the school of visual arts and taking After Effects. I need to learn it for my job. Just want to thank you for your hard work on the tutorials. You have helped me learn a great deal watching you. I purchased some of you products a few months ago which I tried using in Motion but AE is much easier in my opinion and i’m a newbie.
Once again thanks again. Im sure I can speak for everyone here you have helped us beginners as well as advanced user become better at their craft.
Feel Better,
Tommy
Take a break and heal up. Chicken soup and tea with honey for the voice. Get all the rest you need. We will be right here waiting when you’re ready.
Thanks, BTW, I’ve been putting your tutorials to use and have come up with things I would never have been able to do without the things I’ve learned from you. You’ve been a great teacher and your tutorials are so very appreciated. You’ve made a very real contribution to my life and I wanted to let you know! Thank you.
Keep the tutorials coming. You’re making me look good to all my clients! Get Better soon!
Phil
