Ground-Breaking Intro

We are working on the new video blog soon to be called…

“The Video Copilot Show”

The (not really a) show will be a compilation of useless information and long boring speeches. The good news is that the 5 second intro  is ground-breaking. And not actually cutting-edge or original but the same old cliche of the ground breaking up into pieces :) It’s going to be great.

Sure we’ll have some tips and maybe some behind the scenes action but mostly it will contain as much random stuff as possible. I want it to be the worst show you have ever seen. Now that I have your expectations down, we’ll see what happens.

It sounds like a show I would want to watch!

Release date is unknown.

170 RESPONSES TO “Ground-Breaking Intro”

Cant Wait!!!

Anything from you Andrew is always inspiring! keep it up! =)

Now Andrew that title just deserves PUNishment….

awesome, looking forward to it.

I like random stuff from Andrew Kramer. Looking forward to it.

so what are you waiting for.
let’s go to 2010!

That’s also the kinda show I want to watch too! And Andrew, never forget to love your own voice :D

Sweet! Ive been waiting… *looks at clock* I thought you said you were going to start sleeping again?

Still cant figure out how you get the text to explode in the BulletQ

Looking Nice :) :D :p

A tutorial about an 3d object beeing breaked in “controlled” particules (like this ground) would be really great, since it seems it’s really hard to find this kind of on the web :)

why dont you pitch the show to revision3. those guys are awesome

Please don’t request tutorials on the blog. We have a section on the forum to contribute ideas. You can also find info by searching the forum as well.

nice, i’m patient… so let it go frm Haiti and Dominican Rep.

My god Andrew Kramer, you have a way of putting things… That just keeps me ever lastingly entertained.

I mean I’ve barely even used After Effects in the last few months, and yet, Im always here front and center for your tutorials. Even your news posts bring a smirk to my face.

Good job sir, good job. I bow to thee.

Awesome looking. Thumbs up, all 3 thumbs I have :D
-David

wow. it’s will be amazing , please Andrew when the blog will release ???? :)

Look great :)

THats look GREATS…!!

Looks Really Great Andrew!! Can’t wait to see it. Just wondering if people can comment back with webcams or is it still text comments for us?

Can’t wait for AE2 2k to arrive :) :)

It looks like this shot was created with RAYFIRE for 3dmax..
could that be Andrew? Im also playing around with Rayfire.. and i like it alot.. thanks for all ur great work here.

Well mate a great idea y dont u release a dvd of all ur tutorials so ppl not online can also see it

Hi Andrew, Will you ever do any tutorials using FCP MOTION?

I’m really looking forward to this!

by Vikash Verma

Your tutorials really help me. Learned allot and gained much more confidence.

Thx for that
for me u r really a Guru.
wish to work with you someday.

INDIA

I expect it to be very funny and self-ironic ;-)

Will this be better than “From Justin to Kelly” ?

Looks awesome, you are really entertaining andrew
keep up the good show.

by fablemaniac

cool

Niice!

Is that done in 3ds max?

hai this is mahi u r work is cool man

no, this is made in MS Paint…
Just make for every frame a single paint file and start colorizing every pixle with the pen tool.
After that, prit them out and make a thumb-cinema out of it, and film the result with a digicam.

I am sure Andrew made it like this…

Looking forward to this “horribly bad” show ;)

ok sweet!

So, will this be a weekly, a monthly or a random show?
I think the latter, but I like random talk!

hi
Andrew
cool!!!!!!!!!
Pakistan

Finsh it Quickly Cant wait andrw

Ahmed ……… Egypt…….cairo

a date for that ? hum? August 2015 ?

ANDREW! :D We’re loving these frequent blog updates :D Awesome stuff keep posting :)

lol whatever you say AK.

well I am bored already thanks to you

Great stuff

Yeah, it’ll be awful! ARE YOU KIDDING!? A video blog is going to be awesome and I can’t wait for behind the scenes stuff. :)

Been looking forward to this from the first time you announced it. Thanks for wanting to make it look horrible but I hope you fail and it comes out looking brilliant. You know, kinda like all your tutorials, you try and make them lame but by some miracle they always come out perfect.

You guys rule… All of you :-)

I’m really anxious for the release of the new… erm… show :D

Some thing is wrong! where is the O on copilOt the shatter cannot go through the O it’s has been more shatter

You using Rayfire for the ground smashage?
Smashage.. great word.. gotta write that one down.

i’m sure that was done with maya :P right?

May it be available as a podcast? :D Maybe an idea for your great Tutorials, too… i thought there was once upon a time, wasnt it?

greetings from switzerland

As far as I know, Andrew uses 3dsMax for vcp stuff

HAHAHAHA…its gonna beat Family Guy!

by Simon Steele

I’d like to see the worst show ever :P
Nah, Just kidding, I’m waiting this…

Sounds depressing (cant wait!)

Oh boy! I’m not really excited!!!! Just kidding, can’t wait for this

Looks likes ray fire.

Wow, 3 blog updates and a tutorial in 2 days. Thanks!

Andrew you are a machine, where do you find the time? I think I know your secret, you’re litteraly a machine. You’re a cyborg with no need for sleep giving yourself twice as much as the average human to work on this stuff. Devious…

Andrew !!!! Prev Is Crackinggggggggg !! Awesom!!!! This tut suits With Ur New Web design !!

Wow andrew, you’re on-fire these days :D

yay! useless info FTW! cant wait :D

I will love the show! that´s for sure!

by Matthew Sabia

Sounds Great! Keep it up ;)

Will you tell us when you know the release date?
Or just release it soon! I can’t wait!

Kroepoe: It will definitely be one of those things.

Cant wait!

thats looks awesome, but is one of the shows or useless things you mentioned on there going to be the sam movie you keep showing us scenes from?

by TheGeneral217

Reverse psychology…..AWESOMENESS!!

Haha andrew one of what things?

Well…I’m not sure of a word you said! Ha!

Only kidding! I’m sure it will be fun…it always is!

Pete

This site is awesome.Guys, you’re doing a great job :-D
can’t wait :-D

one of what things

Hopefully it is 100% AAE because I don’t have Cinema 3D @_@ but even if it is, I’m gonna watch it in hopes of getting Cinema 3D in the nearby future :D

you should try and get say interviews or something to do with proffesion directors/editors ect of films to find out more about the industry and the way the make things come to life, just an idea carnt wait for the show!

i am really looking forward to these! even if they are the worst shows ive ever seen :D that would still be really awesome!!!!!

You should just reveal it with no release date so there won’t be the hundreds of “When will it be up…you said tonight!” comments like we had on the AE2 trailer *looks down in shame*

Andrew how the hell did you make that ground fracture/break, i need to do that in cinema 4d. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Amit: Its just a shatter effect with inverted gravity. Well, of course it won´t look like AK´s but…

Hey Andrew, your stuff is really awesome man I must say. I just glad you share it with us.
BTW did you see the trailer for the new DC animated movie Green Lantern First Flight? It looks just like one of you tutorials.
Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUcsi66YxL4
can’t wait to get a copy of AME 2!

How are you going to do a video blog and create free tutorials?
was also wondering, is this gonna be like red giant tv?

use rayfire tool for 3ds Max

Looks great so far!
You really love destructing things don’t you?
Who doesn’t anyways :)

At least can you tell us an estimated time, like if the show will be released in just some weeks, or maybe months, or years…..?

we are getting old

CANT WAIT TO SEE THE INTRO!

Hey Andrew, you should put tigether a major visual effects project and apply that ground breaking effect to city streets. or a building collapsing. Your abilities are astounding and you are a major inspiration to me. Cant wait for the show!

Its great can`t wait

@Rafael, yeah, but as im new to c4d, i dont know how to do that.

Andrew can you explain me how to shatter specific areas of an object or how to do fractures to a ground like in the ice age 2 movie???
