Epic Title

Here’s another use for the Disintegration Tutorial techniques in a motion graphics example.  I used a little bit of shine or a Radial Blur to create a lighting effect as it burns or blows away.  You can even play around with the colors to create a magical burn away as well.  This tutorial has a cool method for creating light beams if you’re interested.

Keep experimenting and have fun!

The font is called Avalon Quest!

Ive already came up with a couple of interesting uses of the tutorial too so i’ll post them on the forum it a bit

Keep up the good work :D

You the man!
This is sic

Nice! You are the coolest person ever and so is this site! Thanks so much!

Cool andrew!

I like the small details showing up in the fire, like the grain.

What font were you using?

thanks for sharing..

shine is very overused.. thats not you niveau..

Awesome. Once again I am amazed!!

Looks nice…Same thing as new tutorial…and trapcode shine.

seriously well done on being hired for the new star trek and fringe intro! Im really exited on seing the film just so i can say “andrew kramer did that kick-ass intro” lol

what is font name???

Looks like this is Diablo-Like Font :)

Awsome! But whats the name of that font?

hehe a little harry potter theme? :P

I like it.. :) Keep up the good work.. :)

by Mohammad Ramahi

Woooooow it’s very nice ..

You’re the best

Very nice! Those of you looking for the font: I can’t recall the name, but I’m sure you can find it or something similar at Dafont.com.
I really dig the dust particles floating in the light idea.

Hey Andrew,i have question…Can you create ”Sci-Fi Effects Pack” You know,all types of effects seen in many Sci-Fi movies and tv shows

Very, very cool!

Andrew,
awsome work, love watching your tuts, really inspires me to push the boundaries of of AE. And congrats on the Start Trek project, looking forward to seeing the film, and your credits. Can u give us a little spoiler on what the credits look like??

That’s incredible, I love that combined effect

It’s look real :D

That’s great, there’s so many applications for this last tute my head hurts. if anyone’s reading I think the font is something similar to ‘franklin gothic’ or something gothic.

This and ‘The Ring’ tutorials are a couple of personal favorites as they both show a deeply practical way to repurpose information in a truly professional workflow.

I thank you for that

by FredrikDaMan

I believe that the font is called Cenobyte.

Anyways; this looked awsome.. Like all other of your work, Thanks!

Nope, my bad it’s not Cenobyte ;)

incredible!
What font was that?
I figure if enough people ask, you will eventually answer…

:D

cool one, it reminds me on something i cant remember…

Very nice.

I just love the way you gave away a recepy for a 300$ shine effect

im digging it

Nice!! Looking forward to an exiting new tutorial :)

Mmm… This font is from Diablo =)
You ROCK!

wooww.. so cool.. Diablo rulez…

by Marco (Brazil)

Nice Andrew! Very good, as aways! When is the new product coming man? Everybody is waiting!

That’s amazing. I’m actually trying to figure out how I can use this effect for a custom boot screen on my computer. Thanks so much, for this and every other tutorial you’ve made.

cool font.

Im going to call it now and say Andrew’s next announcement is that he working on the ending credits for Angles and Demons.

Woah, amazing concept, I’m really into it.
The disintegration effect has really huge potential ;D

Great work … as always

/matim

Nice one! Diablo-Style-like.

Looks nice, where did you get the font?

beautiful video effects!

I agree with the third poster…this site is the coolest person ever.

by Nic Bathgate

This is very impressive, as usual Andrew!

I’m interested not so much in the title, but in how you did the mist that travels down the texture in the background, did you use fractal noise? I would love to know how to do that!

There’s some sort of effect on the texture in the background – Like a wavy, displacement type thing going on…. What is that?

by Anthony Miller

You know what?! That’s just damn cool.

Nuff said.

That is very sweet!

btw, some of you guys need to watch your language please.

Nice! You uploaded the Green screen footage uploaded for Disintegration Tutorial project! NICE!!!!
BTW Nice “Epic Title” :D

I was hoping for the footage! Thanks!
-David

THIS IS DAMN ANDREW KRAMER !!!!! AWESOME DUDE!!!!

WOW Very cool Idea again. Thanks Mr.Kramer!!!! YOU ARE THE BESTTT

great effect, looks like it could be very useful for many situations.

very cool, this version too

p.s.the revealing of a text it’s usually from left to right, unless you’re arabian :)

Very nice, Andrew! Kind of Lord of the Rings-ish.

greet from indonesia

by TheOneProduction

by anadaido marika

Nice .. Open our eyes to new ideas.

Andrew, you will not share the project with all of us? Please!!!!!!

I check this site daily for the new DVD on explosives. =)

U R AWESOME !!!!!!!!

by anadaido marika

ANDREW KRAMER AWESOME YOU TEXT MY MAN!!!!! SOCKS!!!!

I had a real problem getting my source and disingrate to go on top of a background. I played with the collapse transfomations and such but never did get it right. I need to revisit it and keep pluggin!

Why don’t you reverse the comments? Why does one have to scroll to the bottom to see the new ones? Can you fix that?

Cool

Awesome effects. Anywhere I can get that texture?

The texture is from the free New York textures a few posts down on the blog.
http://www.videocopilot.net/blog/2009/04/free-textures-from-new-york/

Very solid. Thank you again.

Bonus: Thanks for the GS footage… definitely great to have – always fun to disintegrate other people.

by terminatorvf

Whoa O.O

Very nice Andrew.

Congrats on the ST project.
As Mr Abrams is such a fan of VC you think he might give you permission to do a tutorial set on the titles for the film? Now that would be epic!

Andrew, update a post and lay out the project. Please! I cannot make also as you. And this disintegration of the text is simply magnificent. It is looked smartly. Can lay out the project? Yes or not?

Hey sKipi, dont try to look exactly the same, just by playing with Andrews tutorial, u can come up with other 20 different use for this great technique! go for it! experiment!

Andrew, please make the tutorial! I cant link the shiney effect to the text =(

I think that it’s the shine effect (trapcode)… download it and enjoy!
Andrew… you’re the best…
Congratulations from Mendoza, Argentina…
Bri MZARG

how do you get that multi color look on the texture? and that water reflection look

by anadaido marika

is in SHINES mr Kramer Andrew and the effect after make the SHINE!! AWESOME!

WE STILL WAITING UR NEW DVD!!!!….
ACTION ESSENTIAL HD!!! I DONT SLEEP FOR BUY UR NEW DVD…
PLEASE!!! RELEASE…DVD!!!!….REPUBLICA DOMINICANA FX!!!!
VAMOS VIEJO LANZALO!!!

I loved the texture behind.
Thanks Andrew

The Music & sound FX are Tremendous

The effect looks amazing overall, but I’d say the gold text needs more texture and detail, looks too plastic.

“if you’re interested.”

You’re funny, Andrew!

Sorry, I don’t like this.

It’s looking pretty much like amateur. Not like the things you did before. The shine is overused. No camerashake/Mblur.

That’s a bad one, sorry.

I loved it.

Really, Motion Blur and Camerashake matters THAT much?
-David

Well besides it just being a blog experiment, I reckon’ it could use a few lens flare too :)

nice

by anadaido marika

mr Kramer Andrew ! AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Yes, a few lens flares would be nice. ;)
And a couple of spheres and rings.

Hi Andrew…
I have a suggestion !
is it possible that you yourself act a role! in one of your next tutorials !!
we all love Sam…but same feeling about you !! Just one ! Pleaseee ! :D

Keivan is right! I would pay to see you in another tutorial Andrew (getting shot or desintegrated or something :D )

ANDREW KRAMER ROCK!! AWESOME!!!

i agreed with Keivan Pishgah

good..people support me! :)

Holy hell! That’s awesome!

I tried to act one time and the director killed himself :(

Come on !!!! It’s not a good excuse. That’s just a 10/15-sec footage ! not “Star wars” !! share the idea in next post and ask others !..they all will agree with that…and that’s gonna be a real EXCITING tutorial ! :D

Andrew make a tutorial on what happened to the director!
:)

yea…Kevin is right

10-15 sec is nothing…come on mr Andrew

I’ll buy you an Ice Cream “Ante” ! :D .. you are a fantastic supporter ! ;)

Haha…no problem

AK SHOULD BE IN A TUT SOME TIME!!!

Only one where he looks cool, like a Sand-Man effect or somthing like that….would….be…..AWESOME!!!!! :D

lol!
Im going to go and try that now!!

everyone win hte house is a cool vfx guy. laaaaaaaaaaag

sroy i didnt want to post this

andrew you are such an amazing guy. i am soooo lokin forward to action essentials 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

guys… it’s not important what kind of tutorial! first of all we have to wait for his acceptance. so please don’t let him get shot or make him sand!!! :D ;)

Keivan is RIGHT! Andrew please I want that, appear in a tutorial!!!!
I have an idea, you can appear in a Action Movie Essentials 2 tutorial or Prewiev!
Sorry for my english :(

Pretty nice, but i think this is just a little artificial… but cool ;p

by motoxman319

This might come off as a stupid question, but how do you create the fluxuating background from this?

Jamie
Rio Rancho, NM

you keep taking all my good ideas lol

reminds me of diablo 2, very nice like always

to Andrew, I would buy a DVD full of AE samples of disintegration Texts,or plugins. So that we (who don’t use AE very often) can just insert text or video and presto. BYT I bought the Pro scores/Designer Sound FX bundle. Awesome!

by David D. Dietrich

Andrew can you post the AE file?

How did you get that ‘flowing’ backgorud effect? It’s very interesting.

Andrew, I’ve always been following your tutorials and I regard you as at least a half-god (if not a three-quarter-god), said that, well, I’d kill my mother-in-law for the source of this effect, really. I mean, post it and I’ll do it and post the pictures of the slaughter. When I’ll *have* a mother-in-law anyway… :D

Pretty please with cherry on top :)

Thanks :D

why don’t you post the ae project file too ? :P it would be nice to have your virsion :D

mr. kramer im a boy who wants to make good special effects im making a small movie with my friends so could you posts a tutorial on how to animate a tsunami

So Coooooool AK!
