VIDEO COPILOT BLOG News, Updates, Projects Files & Tips |
|
Posted at 2:41 pm on May 17th, 2009 by Andrew Kramer
We’re already working on a half-dozen new things but hey, what’s one more? If you have a pocket full of pens, you can always fit one more : )
Without using anymore misguided metaphors, we are indeed developing a video blog that will be used to share ideas and concepts straight from the Video Copilot team. This includes behind the scenes videos, production tips and even bar-b-que recipes. We have some great ideas for the show and we hope you guys will tune in.
The first episode should be online before we launch Action Essentials 2!

yay
wow, sounds intresting
Awesome
Oooohhhhh!
Awesome!!
Can’t wait!!
Sounds cool! Can’t wait.
Have a nice day,
~Sidneys1
But when will video blog come?
The Kramer family was the first to find the equation for 27 hours in a day. How you do it Andy, I don’t know.
You should also have it so that like the tutorial requests section, everybody else can upload a blog up, so we can be one big happy family.
So excited
Great!!
Will the behind-the-scenes videos include information on how you did the shots for your great tutorials or also for other projects?
Sounds good, love everything that comes from this site, keep up the good work
Wow, i just read about you that you are good cook, so i am looking forward to the recipes
wow! That sounds great!
I can wait for it to launch.
also, I definitely agree with Josh Lawrence, it would be great if we could upload blogs of our own.
Wonderful!!!! I don’t see the time!!!!
Bye

Nice. this will be hilarious and informative no doubt!
woo hoo! =)
Man I check this site daily. This is ridiculous! =)
OMG I am so excited!
I can NOT NOT NOT NOT wait!
I love behind-the-scenes stuff, especially with how funny you guys are!
This will be so so so fun.
-David
THANK GOODNESS
WOW !!! Great idea. What’s next, a road tour??? LOL
But, but, what about great tips on making cup cakes.
I mean, everybody loves cupcakes
All I needed to hear was “bar-b-que recipes” – I’m in.
Lets DO THIS.
This is going one hell of a month!
Firts AE2, and now a video blog …
I’m going to get a hart attack, come back alive, get another one and keep looping XD
THAT’S HOW FREAKIN’ BEATIFUL THIS IS! Damn!
AWESOME MAN, i dont think this site can get any better.
Wow! Great stuff!
Always good to hear from someone who has got real experience in the field.
Unfortunately right now I’m stuck filming weddings, making slideshows, and saving money. But hey, what can ya do?
Keep it up!
Sounds great! Thanks.
Hello from Venezuela
Great idea!!! Andrew, your team and you are the BEST
Looking so much forward to this. – All your stuff is great. I love it
Hi, from Denmark.
Great news
Thank you
Very cool. Can wait
But must so…
That’s interesting, bar-b-que recipes. I’ll be checking this out for sure!
Sounds great
Let me guess, your first recipe will be “how to BBQ Sam.”
Wolframalpha.com rocks by the way.
will we be able to watch it again if we do not watch it at the first time?
I dont know if I am clear, so sorry, I’m not English
Really good!!! Thanks Andrew and VC!!
Sam-ka-bobs!
Seriously, I’d love to see how you rigged the gas explosions etc.
Looking forward to it.
I LOVE BAR-B-QUE!!!
Kool, sounds really good. Can’t wait.
Hi from Scotland
Awesome! Looking forward to it lots.
I LOVE BARBQUE!
Looking forward to the VLOG.
Awesome, I can only imagine how many cheesy jokes, great tips, fun facts etc etc there will be on this show!
VideoCopilot, the ony site that hosts easy and fun tutorials, easy to follow! I owe a lot of my AE skills to Andrew! (Like many other amateurs AND pro’s)
I hope there will be more 3d Special FX tutorials will be up. 3d tracking is a lot easier than I initially thought and its so fun!
Thanks VC Team!
cool. that means “the making of the making of”
Can’t waittttttttttttttttttt
Finnaly we will see behind the scenes. How does the real pros makes the movie.
I think it will be great experience for all of us!
Usually I never comment on blogs, but this….sounds awesome.
That sounds great. I got kind of disappointed after I purchased Series One, I thought there would be some behind the scenes and a bit more of an serious interview.
I was wondering if You and the VC team are going to bundle the tutorials again when you reach tutorial 100? I bought the first set (they are overwhelmingly awesome to have by the way If you do not already own them) and I hope to have all one hundred for when Internet Access is down or VC.net is down for maintenance.
Andrew you really are a great blessing to me and my company. I incorporate a lot of your teachings from VC into my motion graphics projects and purchase your teams tools specifically trying to push the envelope in church media production.
Thank you Andrew, the VC team, and your families. Without them you could not do what you do best.
Stunning!
i Hope in the first tutorial you guys make a “Making of: Action Essentails HD” Edition…
I love you andrew. Yes I do.
Awesome! Can’t Wait!
the great thing about this work is that it doesn’t feel like work
God Bless Andrew Kramer
Sweeeeeeeeeet.
OH HELL YEAH!!! FINALLY!!!!!!
GROSOOOO
GREAT!!!!! realy good idea! Go VC!!!!
Sounds awesome!
Any pizza recipes?
Sweet! Sounds like a fantastic idea to me! Can’t wait for episode 1!
This sounds like a lot of fun. I’ll tune in for sure.
hey!!!!,about theese barbeque recipes……
Perhaps available as podcasts as well? Or at the very least, downloadable..?
Video blog? That’s AWESOME Andrew!!!!
YES!!!
Okay but only if you can bundle the combined wit of your entire team into one action-packed show will I watch…alright, maybe that’s not possible, I’ll settle for a 1/10th the wit and humor. Can’t wait to see the first epi.
Give us some warning so we can relay the message to all of our “in-dark-late-night-editing-compositing” brethren. Looking forward to it.
VCP-TV
Great Idea! can’t wait.
i love me some good bbq.
I already have you set as my browser home page. Now I’ll be watching videos all the time. Bring it on.

Awsome! Can’t wait!
Oh man….Super Awesome! Just like everyone else I’m looking forward to the behind the scenes. Maybe well finally even get to see if you use a MAC or a PC
Oh oh…please have them record you on your computer recording a tutorial…. maybe it can be a tutorial on how to catch Spiderman.
Oh oh…I even have a great introduction for you when youre recording it…. it could go something like “Hey whats up? Andrew Kramer here for Video Copilot dot net.”
I know! Pretty smart introduction hey! I know! I know! You don’t have to thank me.
I Turned in allready! another great idea from videocopilot i can’tresist! You and the videocopilot crew make a eccelent team! Keep up the good work!
Will we need AE cs4 to make these bbq recipes? or will Cs3 be fine??
That’s cool
Great idea god bless you guys
I love everybody right now.
Andrew ruleeeeee and hi from Serbia – Belgrade i am a big fan of you (sorry on my english)
Is there anything you can’t do?
oh yeaah!! =D
Sounds good. Something else to keep me from doing any ereal work. You guys are gonna get me fired!
Sounds great! I wanted to ask you myself to post some behined the scenes videos
Sounds cool. Looking forward to the behind the scenes stuff. Hopefully some tips from the filming part of your tutorials.
GREAT !
WOW
That sounds Fabulous.
Many Thanks Andrew
Sounds very interesting indeed. I hope I will learn a lot from you guys
Hey that’s awesome! I’ll be sure to “tune in”
Keep up the excellent work! Thanks Andrew.
schweeeet!
(BTW Americans spell barbecue weird…) lol
Andrew, that’s just great news – I’m looking forward to it!
But to the guys who are looking to make Video Copilot into some sort of myspace crap, I have to say: VCP is all about quality!
Public blogging services are certainly not.
So I’d say you should better put that idea right out of your minds, because that is certainly not what we expect from and love about Video Copilot.
Keep up the high quality of your page and products and rock on – you’re doing a great job!
Awesome man , there will be so much fun.
hoooray!! more Sam for us all
great idea !
sound exicting awesome idea
I love the idea!
“behind the scenes videos” can´t whait!
awesome! Can’t wait, video copilot is not part of my daily routine. Saw the star trek movie last night, those credits were godly!
*now part haha
cool man
Lovin it!
That’s awesome! I always come on this site looking for BBQ recipes, but all I normally see are a bunch of video effect stuff. My mother will be so happy. She loves BBQ!
Do you have any Lemon Meringue pie recipes (Dad’s favorite)?
Thanks!
I like the idea
woooooot!!!!! sounds more fun than a barrel-full of monkeys!!!! I’ll be subscribing man, will you be on iTunes?
that sounds really cool indeedy!
Great idea! Always new things coming up.
Hey AK
a video blog, what is that? is it a TV-show or what?
This may be stupid questions…
Aleks : )
@ alexsander,
a video blog basically like a blog with videos instead of text and images (such as this blog).
Awsum.
Andrew – you must be raking in the dollars!!
I will wait for your proper promo & launch, before buying the action essentials 2. Looks great so far.
looks great andrew
Awsesome! You guys just keep comming up with new stuff to keep me checking in on this site every day!
GREAT!!!
Great news!Can’t wait to see the video blog from your team. Uta
My dream come true! VCTV!!!!!
You do it again, thanks Mr. Kramer
kewl mehn! can’t wait to tune in.. hehe
Will you broadcast some videos or will you upload a complete show?
“a video blog, what is that? is it a TV-show or what?”
_____________________
you know what a blog is? great. you know what a video is? good. ok, now imagine those two things COMBINED!
Dude!!! Sweet,I can’t wait. So will other members of the Copilot team be in these videos? I want to see Sam!
This is going to ROCK! Well done VC team, I can’t wait.
Many thanks
Lawrence
I think this is a great idea!
2nd coolest thing after the forum!
great, looking forward
cant wait
Lighting, please cover it, yes?
hi andrew. is there a possibility for a live streaming video blog with chatfunction? this will be very awesome. so you can directly get feedback from the community and the other way round.
but hey! only a video blog is awesome too!
Hey!
This is to the Andrew himself and the Video Copilot team!
Could you do a tour of where you work? I dont know if Video Copilot has its own offices or if it connected with Final Image.
Basically it would be cool to see what the place look like
Many thanks
I’ll be tuning in just for the bar-b-que recipes…MMMMMMMMMM…..;)
Sounds great Andrew. I can’t wait.
Video copilot is getting better evefryday!
I like the barbque!
You rock Mr. Kramer!
Yeah, this is a great idea. Can´t wait!
Best idea yet!
Yeah, cool!!! : )
that´s great! maybe you can show us how you record your tutorials one day…:)
Will def tune in!
THIS WILL BE GREAT. I CAN’T WAIT. (hey it rhymes)
yeah^^ sounds good!!
looking forward!
This sounds Great
No comment needed this will be the best=)
love from Norway=)
greate .it’s sounds good………..
great!, i can’t look forward
Sweet!
i love this…
i hope we will get to see some more funny videos of the “Mini Female Kramer” like the one with those balloons…
that was awesome!
wow.
Hey Andrew! Last year I convinced my School’s TV studio to purchase Riot Gear and Designer Sound FX, but…
I have always wondered how you set up and created the live action stock footage such as the ink effects and explosions. I think this info would be great for either the video blog or maybe a product? Its never a bad thing to make a profit
As a college film/special effects student, this kind of product would be amazing. THANKS!
Keep on keepin on.
I’ll be expecting a lot of tehniques and tips on how to prepare for shots, and how to shoot during production so there is no need to reshoot during post.
Sounds good though. Hopefully by saying the Video Blog will be running before AE2, that AE2 is not far off. Another 1 1/2 weeks and it’s May.
P.S. Tranformers 2 NEXT MONTH!!!!!!!!!! WOOT
great, to video blog or not to video blog, that was the question. The answer is yes! =D
What are the cooking skills of an average visual effects designer?
I would say medium to medium well
Yeaaaah! Can’t wait!
EVERY ONE! ALL TOGETHER NOW! SAY ‘YES!!!’
YES!!!
hi Andrew, this is great, I would love to see your short movie for the promo of Action Essentials 2, you know the other day I was watching an Interview with J.J. Abrahams instead of saying oh gosh its J.J. Abrahams! I said of gosh this man knows Andrew Kramer! hahahahaha love the things you are doing for us that love the special effects stuff and video Production, see you man take care!
Andrew you are the best! congratulations for you good work! youi are the number one!
and to finaly, tks for the tutorial’s, you help me so much!
see ya guy!

Love to have a great sparerib bar-b-que recipe
Nice one. REALLY look forward to it.
Wowwwwwwwww!!!!, awesome, that´s an interesting idea.
I´ll be waiting for that.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! WE ARE IMBA NOW ^_^
imba gfx humans
Wow, when do you ever sleep? This is a really awesome idea, but after this and AE2 you should really take a break. Not that most of us know you, but working on a mega-budget feature, a television show, AE2, this site, having a kid running around, and all the other stuff that we don’t know about. That has to completely nuts! Can’t for AE2, I have a 100 bucks with your name on it as soon as you release it.
Woooow. Can’t Wait.
Connect the sauce to the nul object. Pre-comp it with the steak. Adjustement on the heating valve. Render it for 5mins on each side … there you have it
Steak ae style
This sounds amazing! Nice work guys
I agree, Dan. Maybe his head will explode soon… Wait, he already has a tutorial on that! LOL
-David
I can’t wait to get myself some BBQ!
Good Newzz………CANT WAIT FOR THAT…..GREAT ANDREW
That’ll be fun. Maybe we should all get webcams so Andrew can watch us watching his tutorials. But I digress.
Neat stuff.
Let’s make it a real life soap!! whats realy going on at VC!! maybe Andrew is just the voice… we don’t know.. maybe it’s Sam thats the AE genius… But he’s just to shy to speak up to us groupies…
Ill take one order doubled covered and smothered topped, peppered, chopped and diced with my medium burger pleeeeeze!!
So what will the video blog be comprised of?
Hey this sounds really exciting
this is truly great. from pakistan
please, please, please make it flash and not QT like you use now and again. I view this site from work which blocks QT, WMV etc
This is a really good idea. Digital Juice used to make some great resources like this also:
http://www.digitaljuice.com/djtv/default.asp
I’d love to see soemthing similar in the context of creating SFX for Screen using Adobe Production Premium & 3ds Max.
J
P.S…saw Star Trek today…the titles were subtle but grand.
Awesome! Can’t wait!
By the way, I really liked the Star Trek Titles.
HAHA andrew i swear…you better have an AMAZING tutorial for your 100th tut…oh and by amazing i mean more amazing than your other ones
Great !!! It’s really nice to find on this earth an amazing person like Andrew Kramer the greatest !!!!!
now thats digital!
One new question:
Will these be able for download?
-David
Yeah, will they be downloadable?
!
Fire up that 44 gallon drum guys and gals were having a bbq…
This is going to be awesome and I can’t wait! Thank you VCP for blessing the video effects world with your copious amount of knowledge and tutorials.
Cool!
Wow ! we are waiting for another ROCK from you , Andrew !
Video Copilot Rocks!!!!!!!!!
:O:O:O thumbs up, Cant wait for the Vlog (it’s called like that, or?) and Action Essentials 2!
This sounds great, now I don’t have to come up with something like that. I’ll just point everyone to this site. I enjoy everything the team comes up with. I sometimes wish I lived on the west coast again so I can actually offer my services.
You have come a long way since the strictly creative cow days. I’ve been with you the entire time.
Hi Andrew. U are the best hostert tuts for 3d application & motion design. U rock.
I wait for new tutorial with 3ds max (scifi suggestion)
Greeting from Crakovia.
Hey…
WILL WE GET TO SEE THE VIDEO COPILOT STUDIO???
OR OFFICE? OR BARBECUE AREA HAHAHA LOL WHEREVER YOU GUYS WORK!?
Waiting for that man!
I think we, people, cannot add more Ooohs to our expressions.
Just THANK YOU!
SUCH A YEAR!
Great to hear!
But can I watch the blog on my phone/iPod Touch too?
Can´t wait!
Hello Andrew can you can you make available the project files from “Epic Title” or can you give a little explanation.
I´m trying to recreate something like that.
Thanks
Cheers
hell yeah andrew..!!can’t wait..!!
Would be nice if it was avaliable as podcast too
Why are you so amazing Andrew??
Great to hear!:)
but can i watch the blog on my Phone/iPod Touch too?
Sounds really great Andrew!
Will it be weekly or monthly updates in it or just when you have something fun to show?
That behind the scenes stuff sounds really exciting to see!
Sounds Great
by the way exactly what kind of tutorials are you going to be makeing with “Action Essentials 2″ ???
Better late than never! I will post in this entry as I could in any other:
I want to give a big hug to everybody in your team, and in first place to Mr. Andrew Kramer. I’ve been studying graphic design for three years and I’ve learned far more of aftereffects, VFX & motion graphics in your site (that actually for me is more an school than a site!) than in my school. Now I’m working in the videogames industry, and I’m receiving offers for working in TV/Comercials. And a big part of this has been possible thanks to you and your inspiring work & philosophy. Thank you!
a Vlog! nice idea!
good for the lazy ones who dont wants to read like me!
Sweet!! BBQ, Yum!!
Sounds killer, keep’em pouring out of your imagination.
thats nice, we are from all around the world, if andrew is into cooking the least we can do is share our countries recipes with him
he give us AE knowledge lets give him tons of recipes !! lol
LOVE YOUR WORK!!
Video blogs are great, we call them vidcasts at our company. The viewers love them, and it puts a nice face to the name. Make them simple, at first, and really test the audio. We found more viewers were bothered by poor audio than sketchy video! Good luck.
Sounds great, can’t wait! AE’s planet got a TV Show! Dude, that’s awesome!
Cool, really looking forward to those barbecue recipes. Hey, the videos will be cool too I’ll bet.
give me a break to say u thanx !!!!!!!!!!! and one day i will be proffesional graphic designer , thats total credit will be for andrew kramer and for Video co pilot only……………………
ah cool.. ill be there
YEAH! GOOD IDEAS ROCK!
hm
nothing online today… and i hope sooo…
Next day, next pain
No Vblog there
Today?
