Can’t wait .
Lightning looks cool btw!

cant wait..

When will the movie come out you were working on?

Cool, looking forward to it!!!

Nice! When will you post the tutorial??

Sam!! Beware The Destroyer!!

Looking forward to this one –

Don’t forget, Brazil whating you!

I can’t wait for watch the new tutorial!

Pick on somebody your own size

i guess he suffered alot in the making of the new product xD

Please Hammer, don’t hurt him.

will we be using Quick Matte to key Sam out? that’s right, i’m not forgetting…

Sammmmmyyyyy…..noooooooooooooo!

Love it.

KILL HIM!! SQUASH HIM!! DISINTEGRATE HIM!!

Sam, RUN FOR YOUR PUNY LIFE!

MU HA HA HA HA HA!

He he….the evil gets control over us all sometimes, especially you Andrew!

let’s do a poll, who want’s him disintergrated, and who doesn’t.

Is there a ransom? If sam is destroyed, how will vcpilot create new and exciting tutorials?

Set Phasers to maximum! Quapla’ Sam Loya!

take care Sam… AK is looking for you… he say somthing about your ends of days… call him please, i can wait to see this tutorial…

I condone this behavior

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…….ehh, go ahead

WOW!!! looks good. nice lights, and i am looking so forward to the tutorial!!

And I know the question probably isn’t the right to answer here, but… Does ACTION ESSENTIALS 2 have never seen before tutorials in it??? PLEASE ANSWER MR. KRAMER!!

Pft! ssssss…..

And that chirldren is the how sam got disinagrated.

And every one, exept sam and michal jackson, lived happily ever after,

The End

oh, well…having gone through all the tortures that Andrew’s inventive mind managed to come up with so far, Sam must be begging for desintegration by now.
on the other hand, I believe he’s too much of a brave man to ask for mercy and too curious to deny Andrew of new challenges

Awesome!! Can’t wait for the tutorial! Not sure how I will be able to use this effect yet tho.

Waiting for it on a piece of fire
BTW…The green screen is “WOW”

Agree: Lighting is great (typical american style)

Is it supposed to be a green screen?
The green seems to be a little washed out

noooo! dont kill sam!

So Sam’s life is in the hands of a one legged Duck. Don’t want to be in his situation.

Andrew Kramer! AWESOME DUDE!

make baskets yes ? awesome Kramer Andrew!

wowwwwww! great trail AK is GOD!!!

is makes timeline DVD ? also ? Andrew Kramer! awesome!

I can´t wait for the new tutorial. Keep up the good work

cool ! :]

but what for this if i havent bluebox

Excellent… Its been too long sense we last saw Sam in action

That is really cool,
because I was just thinking that I need to get some footage of someone in front of a greenscreen, and when you came out with the tutorial for this, I was going to make them desinigrate.
:’(
Now it is un-original if I make it!
Oh well,

Thanks

Please reconsider, can you use a stunt double, or a dummy…… heck even a lawyer to disintegrate? I mean poor Sam, he has been hit by a truck, had bugs crawl under his skin, and committed suicide by sucking in the brown wind of doom. C’mon just think about it

Man… the title makes it seem as though you meant sam got fired.

Sam… Sam…

Sam you rock!!!

hey mr. kramer, when is the shortmovie out?

You would think Sam learned his lesson by now…I guess not. It was nice knowing ya!

You scared me for a bit there, i thought that he will leave video copilot forever… dont do this again.

btw: one legged duck is going in circles than

Are we looking at a “the day the earth stood still” effect here?

YOU ROCKS!

Andrew Kramer AWESOME DUDE!

i agree with newsett, i was scared when I saw the title.

can’t wait for the tutorial, though, even if sam DOES get disintegrated.

Kai

OMG! Sam must live, he is Spider-Man mixed with Terminator and some green stuff from standing in front of greenscreens disintegrating…

Haha, well I can’t wait! Nice, this gave me ideas for people blowing up (like the end of ‘Knowing’ perhaps?)!

I love the little text box too. “Please don’t hurt me…”

Lol,
-David

Noooooooooooooooo SAAAAAAAAAM!!!

this is going to be one of the tutorials that iv been waiting for for 2 years now ,disintergating ,green screen, oh ya i think we talking ….. i guess i have to wait and see .this is going to bw fun p.s are we going to have blowing wind in this?

SAM rock ! Kramer Andrew = AWESOME DUDE !

Crash him!!!! heheheheh
Nice tutorial….

lol is some obvious xD… or maybe not?? jajaja

Sam as you probably know is actually a demon, i think it is about time he got disintegrated. However if you are looking for a new actor Andrew. I suppose being the prolific thespian that i am i could take over. LONG LIVE VIDEO COPILOT. cant wait.

Run Sam! Run…!

how mysterious…

really nice Andrew.I cant w8 to see Sam’s flesh in the ground.lol.oh please be kind and send re flesh to any hanibal company.Keep them alive.loool.

Ohh,i thought Sam was quitting when i saw the title xD

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

SAAAAAAAAMM!!

NOOOOOOOO!!!!

YOU ROCK ANDREW!!!!

Wow!! Andrew I need see this tutorial I can’t wait, OMG Bye Same anybody will miss you XD

“After Effects: The Revenge”. Poor Sam, but I wish more people would sign up to be in my projects.

amazing electrify him then disintegrate him lol it will look cool

niiice.

Take care, Sam.

We hardly knew ye.

lol poor sam lol “Sam go poof” lol cant wait

Noooooooooo! Not Sam!!! He’s essential for the tutorials! Take my little sister instead.

Great, now i can make a composite of my mother in law
and have it cheer me up during bad days

waiting for the killing, err, I mean the tutorial…

Sam has survived worse…(Tino’s truck, bugs in the head, demon possesion, carbon monoxide) this won’t take him out either. Maybe Sam is a Terminator!?!?!?!

GREATTTTTTT i cant wait!! go sam, go sam!!!!

Don’t hurt Sam, bur burn his clothes off. Rawr!

Cant wait to see sam lawyer burning .

He has defied death before… AND WILL DO IT AGAIN IN THIS AWESOME UPCOMING TUTORIAL

Is Sam gonna be disintegrated War Of The Worlds style? I love those tutorials that involve green screen effects!

Poor Sam…

Does anybody know where can I order such a greenscreen? Or could anyone tells me different places and prices?

Thanks!

kkkkkkk

That was great!!

I hope Sam be fine because he’s a great actor for you awesome tutorial!!! No kidding!!

I hope Sam isnt going away forever?

Also I was reading Wired magazine and there was a piece where JJ Abrams mentions how he loves VC (I could send a scan of it). He also said that he was so impressed that he hired you to do the Fringe intro AND the star trek one!! Did you make the intro to the new star trek film? Is this true mr. Kramer?

Sam, hold on to the cube!!
LOL XD

scared me for a sec…..i thought he was quiting or something lol

Hmmm…sounds awesome, can’t wait.
Greetings from Iran

Gabriel, try tubetape.net … they have the best prices on greenscreens and light kits.

Andrew what about Action ME 2 ? : )

burn the witch

Action Essentials is still in development, more info will be out soon.

That is really cool. Are u gonna use th Quick Matte plugin to key?

ha Finally!! (jk, love ya Sam =P)

wowwww…hehehehe. Sounds awesome. really excited for it. another great tut coming up.

If he cooks instead of disintegrates, can you save me some dark meat?

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!!!!!!!

That’s going to be so sweet! Hope something funny like that will be in your next tutorial!

Maybe my comment on using that effect to kill someone evilly inspired you? XD

Can I pull the trigger please? }:- <

I waiting for a longtime. Please …………………
and dont hurt sam He is good guy.

Do you really want to hurt me…?

Do you really want to make me cry…?

Astalavista…BABY

NOOOOOO not sam!
Anything but sam! Please! take me instead!

PS looking forward for the tutorial looks like a great one!

Looking good Sam…
Is that a hint of highlights in your hair I see

Cant wait. This tutorial’s gonna be awesome!

Poor sam, i can relate to you with what my big brother does to me =D

Andrew, I just wanted to thank you again for doing this. Every time when I use my PC, the first thing I do is check out your blog. Thanks Andrew. You are an inspiration to us all. I just can’t wait to spend my hard earned money on ”Action Movie Essentials II”. Thumbs up.

Oh my God.

Sam has been through so much and you’ve never worried a lot about him ( you’re mean! ).
What could possibly be the case now…? :O

Has to be something terrible…

I’m not a religious guy, but I honestly thnik Andrew Kramer is the next Jesus. Thank you! Your tutorials have helped shed light on my life. Its given me purpose! and a comfortability with After effects

Andrew I thought I would share one of the many ways I have found to challenge both myself and other AE users. Usually when you post a preview for a new tutorial I immediately begin to figure out how to acheive that before the tutorial arrives as a challenge tp myself. One I’m exauhsted on ideas or better yet manage to pu it off I the. Watch the tutorial to see how close I was, or even better find another way to do it.
I think you should have a competition for this type of thing and post hints on each one.

Just a thought keep up the good work. Also how can we get ahold of Final Image for VFX work?

Great Andrew, can’t wait! Keep producing this tutorials forever!

All the best,
-Stefan

theres a grenade launcher besides him?

why are you not using AVID

This is going to be funny.

hello, i’ve been visiting this site for a really long time, but this is the first time i have ever posted on here. I’m just trying to switch it up. I don’t have anything important to say really… but Andrew Kramer is extremely helpful with his After Effects Tutorials. I know a dude that tried to help me with learning After Effects and well yea, he was about as useful as the back row of a singing choir. Ok, enough of my randomness.

Bye sam but i’m really exited for the tut

Sam, a man barely alive. We can rebuilt him, make him faster, stronger, better…..

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

THIS WILL BE GREATE: SUPER OUTSTANDING: I CAN’T WAIT!!!

Poor Sam ,can’t wait to see!
don’t hurt him please…

ha ha! Kramer Andrew no SAM grenade! ha ha ha!

NOOOOOOOO! Sams awesome. We need him to live for upcomming tutorials!!!!

The Answer:

YES.

yesss destroy SAMMMMMM lolololol
RUN RUN RUN Sam ha ha ha

For all of you who do not approve that Sam will be destroyed in the disintegration tutorial I have solution.

just play tutorial backwards and we will be creating Sam from nothing, than perhaps we can make small army of Sams clones just in case for future tutorials

I need to stop drinking coffee……..

Sounds like an awesome tutorial will you need something like action essentials because i don’t have it

I see green! I’m thinking yes!

Haha! I thought that sam will leave VCP when you said End of days for Sam!! I read the blog and thank god he’ll not leave!

By the way… I can’t wait foe the tutorial! It seems nice! Thank you Mr. Kramer for all the hardwork.. It’ll be Tutorial 88. Thanks Alot! Million of people learned alot because of this site! Thank you Thank you Thank you! Can’t stop thanking you!

Im from Middle East “Kuwait” that lands on the Arabien Golf! My Country’s Design always use your Designs! Hahaha! They use one of you famous product “Evolution.”

So, Thanks Andrew! Good luck on your work!

..Hey i typed alot in this comment…. Oh well, see ya!

Can we have more information on the role Sam landed that was longer then 30sec. I try to finish a large popcorn in 30sec but I just can’t do it, I need more time. Sorry Sam

Ron

When I read the title of the post I thought it meant Sam was leaving videocopilot… i almost cryed! Phew, Thank God thats not the case, he’s only going to get disintegrated

Andrew…You ROCK MEN!!! I’m Waiting for your new tutorials

Noooooooo, …. Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam (slomo-voice)

you can’t hurt Sam..he’s kind a Terminator

KILL HIM!!! nah (= if Sam can survive a car hitting him, an explosion and an exorcism he’s survive a disintegration surely..

I bet Andrew gets annoyed at Sam if he takes time to do the act he is supposed to or keeps getting it wrong. LOL.

Let’s see. How many ways have you in some way injured, disfigured, killed, etc. our hero Sam? Too many to count.

Ok, it’s official. I’m reporting you to the SPCAS (I’ll leave you to figure out the acronym).

Hey, you know what would be a fun video to make is a compilation of the bad things that happen to Sam. The score would be the piece from Rossini (can’t remember which one) that you hear in Bugs Bunny whenever there’s a hurricane.

Finaly!

I would rather that Sam’s socks slowly disintegrate off….

Sam is slowly becoming the Kenny of VCP.

Just kidding you know
love you sam!

YOU ROCK ANDREW KRAMER! no SAM ! ha ha ha!

Yes! ANDREW KRAMER DUDE! DESTROY SAM!!

You AWESOME! MAKE SAM GRENADE A BASKET!

Great stuff! Sam’s cool. You know what the “S” on the superman logo signifies.

Seems to be one more excellent tutorial!Can’t wait to see it!

Greetings from Sabac,Serbia!

LOL

I think before you disintegrate Sam, you should make him turn into the monster-zombie he was a while back in the Demon-Face episode….then zap him and watch him disintegrate….MWAHAHAHAHAH….(Sorry Sam….but it’s so much fun watching Andrew torture you onscreen)

My favorite Sam episode is #67. Right around frame 34:35

Hey what’s up!

Waiting for this tutorial in Spain!

Oh, no!!! Save Sam Loya!!!

Thanks for the tease Andrew:)
I’m excited about this technique!

Damn! You scared the crap out of me!!!
” End of days ” thought that sam were going the get fired :S
thanks god he wont ^^

Aw, poor Sam! You’ve turned him into the Star Wars Kid, tripped him, turned him into a demon, made him cry inside a car, put bugs under his skin, frozen him, run him over, cut his face, put him inside an Iron Man, and now disintegrated him. Keep it coming!

i love sam. he is a nice guy

Very cool the tutorial !
Long time don’t see you sam.

he is looking for picnic destination or either matrix camera move

Sam went KA-BOOM! ;’(

I can’t wait!!!

Good things don’t last, but SAM is an exception
