Thats awesome!

Really, you weren’t gonna sing? Cause it totally looked like you would. Chocolate rain style.

Please some more of those! Fun to watch!

Nice color work. I encourage more video blogs, this one was great!

Excelent!!!!!!!

Very cool! Cant wait for the show

Very funny as usual. Can I pre-order a t-shirt?

Cool video! The new plugins sound great and the t-shirt looks awesome!

Is that a condenser microphone you’re using? I picked one up a while ago and it always makes recordings with a lot of bass. Which sounds really cool a lot of the time, but sometimes I have to mess with the settings on my mixer so it’s not so severe. I love that pop screen, too! Any chance you could reveal where you got it?

Nice hair light!!!!!

Hey loving the flares time to make a star trek 12 I thinks,
Maybe not I’ll leave it to Abrams

Nice work man, it’s weird to see all the tuts and now see you while you speak. Haha.

Excelent job andrew!!!!!!!

I like the blue hair.

Huge!
You realy rock.
hop you’ll send some of those shirts here to France !

The daughter marked the eyes ^^

hi,

i´d love to order one of those t-shirts!
Are you going to ship them to Austria as well?

greetings
paul

Excellent idea! Now the pauses in your commentaries make even more sense when accompanied by your facial expressions! Ha!

I look forward to seeing more as you make them since everything on this site is pure gold. And btw, congratulations to you and your wife on your new daughter!

A’ra best!

I like it, but it is way to short. So please continue this project.

Don’t look at the man behind the cam!

That radio show sounds interesting. LOL:D
Anyway, nice lighting!

Nice to see your face behind your microphone and heard “Hey what’s up!”
Awesome!

nice 2 C how it looks like, when every tut I’ve seen started with: what’s up, it’s Andrew Kramer from VC dot net and welcome to another very, very exciting tutorial…

that sounds too hard. it should be a professional hint so take it not as an offense critic

I like video better then just audio! or just some text.

BTW you should make films now, with so much knowledge and experience I am sure you will make an awesome movie, funny-action-thriller, wow that will be nice. But think about it if you won’t make then who will make?

-Aftab

LOL @ monkey business

x’D epic

Andrew, independent of your creative genius and communal generosity, you are hilariously funny. I could listen to you riff all day. My wife comes down here from time to time and asks why I’m laughing so loud and the answer is pretty much always the same: “Andrew Kramer!”

i like it like this.. im lazy and dont want to read every blog post..

Also, Were you recording in stereo? it sounded like when you moved your mouth away i could hear it fade left to right (or was it right to left?).

in summary: more of it

Same amount of AK with less reading. How is this bad?

Also, dugg the lens flare joke. Don’t know why I’d tell you that.

Who’ll Win “Best Actor” at the Oscars 2009 – 2010??Andrew just won!

Andrew, will you deliver T-Shirts to another countries, like Argentina?
If you will, I’ll buy one!

nice! now i can see, which face is behind the microphone and said “hey what’s up!”

Do you use a Gate for this microphone?

I think not well-calibrated

Its 10.30Pm here in Belgium so good evening Andrew not good morning!! lol

T-SHIRTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great! I like the Vlog concept, would like to see more of those…has potential for wacky stuff monkey circus anyone?
Anyway,keep up with the amazing work, good luck…oh! oh! and congrats again on your new daughter

Nice video Andrew.
But something keeps bothering me…

Is it the end of the amazing tutorials?

what kind of camera is being used for the vlog? if you dont mind.

nice video!

looking forward to the next vid

LOL…mi amigo Andrew…LOL…great..and yes from sure, you will get tons of comments..so..yes..it does work..
Lookign forward to your Plug-Ins..Cheers…

Pls save a TTTT-shirt for tetris (if u can a amazing tetris
particulier style )

grz TeT

Bon boulot , encore merci Andrew Kramer pour tout ces tutorials !!!!!

un petit coucou de la france

Very good job !

long vie a ton site et toute ton equipe !

Gotta love that Blue Light xD

Cool new technique for posting info. I liked it. Hey, your mic is killer. I’d love to have that one. I have often wondered what kind of mic you used to get such deep and smooth vocals….now I knwo…well, now at least I have seen the top of it….oh well, almost there… Can’t wait to see all the new goodies in the works. Congrats again on the new “roommate” (daughter). Best!

so optical flare is not free.quick matte is free.
no bad news

Wouhouuu! Andrew is doing a new TV Show!!!

I like the video business, i hope to see more video in the blog.

Best wishes,

Tanel

Just man up and grow a beard already.

Hi mr. Kramer,
Can you do these vlogs as an podcast or is it too much hassle?
Love your work, man, keep innovating. You’re already the best.

Hi,
Nice Video, but I too would like to know what microphone and pop screen you used. I’m recording Elearning modules shortly and I need a decent Audio recording setup. Keep up the great work

What’s your audio setup?

hahahah lol Andrew .. u r the best man, i love ur videos

we get the entertainment and the education AT SAME time, this is very cool,

IM SO GLAD I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS WEBSIT LONG TIME AGO

OH Andrew … (damn i forgot)

Very cool! Keep us posted the t-shirts.Please shoot me an email when they’re ready. I’ll rep in Dallas for ya. THANKS!

Yeah! Thats cool stuff Better than just writing articles.. we did some same today…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKbp_zqBMrY

Great news! I fricken love this stuff.
Kramer FTW!

wow man very funny

Hahahaha!! You are ridiculously funny! btw what cam recorder are you using?

Haha, ofcourse it works, I’ll (lame joke ahead) SEE you next time!

what you aren’t going to sell us Mods are you? we’ve been good monkeys!

great andy can’t wait.just wanna thank u for video copilot dvd series 1,I bought it and recently found that you took time to convert all 62 tut in ipod touch format as I got one guess what……everyday I get off the bus on the wrong bustop

Makes your site much more personable. I like it.

Wow, Just over a week in the new office and you forgot to pay the lighting bill?? Looks like you are sitting in a blackhole :p

Ha! That IS actually pretty funny to watch. You said once that this isn’t the way you normally talk… well, it looks like it is however

cheers man! keep it up!

i think Andrew is releasing he is kinda famous in the comunity so he has to show his face oftenly, besides is pretty nice to watch him while he is talking. I hope they keep doing this way from now

Cool video, you should do that more..maybe incorporate some behind the scene footage.
I’m coming to the US tomorrow Houston TX heeeehaaawww!! hehe j/k
Keep up the good stuff Andrew!

It’s so weird to see you while speaking. I think we’re all used to just hearing you while we’re using our brains to the max following your tutorials haha.

Anyway, you’re an idol to many of us, including me. When I grow up, I wanna become Andrew Kramer lol.

nice stuff andrew, hope to come with some pretty soon!

Hahah, great to see something different, after hearing only your voice for so long I can’t help but get the feeling that you’re dubbed now!

Nice blue gelled rim light, like the new video feed so far. Wishin you the best.

Great video. It’s weird to see you speaking when we’ve just listen to you for so long.
But love the video et hope you’ll continue!

Oh man I wish I noticed this earlier! That was funny! I think the not having noise made it sound out of whack but still, glad to see you and I can’t wait for more video!

What kind of microphone was that you were using? It looked like it had some sort of diffuser. Is that microphone good for recording voice overs or animation dialogue?

Oh yeah, and the video rocked.

Great!
I love video stuff

If you’re doing another action essentials, please record a ‘making of’. I would love watching that with your commentary [And I want to see Sam again! I kind of miss him Make a kick ass movie of some sort!]

Andrew: I sent an email a while back suggesting that you should start a youtube channel for VC. Youtube has a partnership program whereby you become a partner and thus get a cut of ad revenue from hits. Right now the only presence VC has on youtube are mostly people trying out VC tutorials and posting their results, and the occasional wholesale rips and promos.

VC fans, If you want Andrew to make more money, post telling him to start a youtube channel

great stuff man, i love vloging
hope u will make it more often

Awesome! I would certainly like to see more video blog style stuff. Both Plugins sound fantastic by the way, thanks Andrew!

I did have a question about the lens flares, the flares you used don’t look like the ones built into AE, am I to assume that it has presets for different lens flares than those we’re used to?

We finally see you say your famous tutorial lines in video. Fantastic. A great video, nice setup, professional.

I hope you have more videos like this to update us.

Keep doing them there are great
Thanks for some awesome tutorials!
you’r the AE god/.

Haha! This amused me =D
Monkey business.

Keep ‘em coming!
Cheers from Norway.

Nicely done mr. Kramer looking forward to whats coming down the pipe for Video Copilot

Woah! Full-screen Andrew Kramer! That face…. What a face…

WOWOOWWW this worked soo cool. i love this. dude screw blogs man video blog is the way to Gooooo

hehe
was that the new studio?
come on, give us a tour in the studio ^^

btw i like the microphone

Awesome. Looking forward for more!

Haha! That’s cool. Looking forward to more episode’s!

it’s weird actually being able to SEE you say “Hey, what’s up, Andrew Kramer here for VideoCopilot.net…”

very cool.

oh yeah, and nice blue hair.

I notice in your video blog, that you wink a lot
what is that all about, something new going to come up
this plug in for sure is awesome lens flares are the best.

Nice blog

http://www.videocopilot.net/blog/2009/02/anamorphic-lens-flares/

I hope the t-shirts can come in size small too! That would be ideal and I would buy one for sure.

so….where can i buy my monkey??? i want my monkey engraved like my iphone (is that feature available???)

“I have to start wearing shirts and possibly shaving regularly.”

Ya but pants are optional.

IAHOAIHOAIHAOHAOIAHOAHO
XD
Man! it was even funnier to see you saying ” Well we’re going to start selling monkeys, as long as we get into the business…” HAHA! You definitely rock, Kramer

Greetings from Brasil!

Awesome stuff, can´t wait for the vlog, t-shirts, quick matte and lens. Well, i can wait actually (learned while waiting for the Meteor series) but anyways…rock on Andrew!

I like this format of updates a lot. Much more personal and you can get more info out there. Once again, well done.

Hey Andrew, What kinda camera was this filmed on?

Very nice vblog. Well executed. I liked the quality of the sound, and always have and like that there is no distracting background. Very informative and would love to see more of these. As long as the quantity of the tutorials doesn’t drop!

You would have got a much better recording sound if you were facing the mic … your facing the cam while the mic is 90′ to you = not the best sound …

COOL STUFF!!! Andrew, cant wait for the vlogs

>Woah! Full-screen Andrew Kramer! That face…. What a face…

A few minutes with AE can fix it…

That wasn’t so bad so please keep it up
and by the way I don’t mind if you don’t shave
but that with the T-shirt is a other thing

Amazing!!!!
:D:D:D:D:D

cool! i like this

You could just have these Vlogs with no tutorials, and I would still come back everyday.

Awesome! But it feels kinda dubbed ^^ Or maybe it’s just me (Kinda freaky but I hear your voice in my head sometimes) hahaha

Hats of for you buddy!

Hey… I just wanna say thanks for all the great tutorials and tips. I´d have to say that over 80% of everything i´ve learned in After Effects is thanks to Videocopilot, so i´m very grateful for all your help. Great idea the Video Update.

Cheers from Chile.

Keep up the good work.

Nice, and I think necessary, considering the way GSG is going. Love both VCP and GSG.

haha this is my first time seeing you

Cool video Andrew!
I was never a DJ on the radio as you stated you were, but I was a male model once. I modeled socks…on the radio…on an AM station…late at night.

Phil

Very Nice McKramer!

Wer eyou by any chance talking about COASTTOCOASTAM? Because that radio show is exactly like what you were speaking of hehe.

Awesome! when are the t-shirts going to be up? and I cant Wait for the videocopilot show (which was expected in June)

Andrew!
Hi here is Korea
I like you! And i love Video Copilot!

I like that you are willing to forgo self consciousness. I NOW do voiceover for my church anouncements,tv spots and web spots as well as design them, even though I do not like my voice.

If ywe continue to practice and do our best our talents continue to grow, even if we do not particualrly think we are good at it and others do.

Keep up the superb and great work

Awesome to see Andrew, keep these up. Makes it more personal to see you every now and again. As always your content and work are much appreciated and excellent!

You’ve got to start sending Email Alerts to keep me on the up and up on when those Plugins are coming and the T-SHIRTS !!!

Wordizzle! Great Job! Keep it up…(somebody has to… )

Dude, you have to do these more often, I believe

Now podcast? Nice!

GET SOME SLEEP!

But good to have you back on Air

Eres lo maximo!! you are the choosen one, man! I lied in my resume and then I came to your site to pick up some techniques…naaaaaaa Just kidding!!! I ilke what you do and I do respect your whole team. Keep it up. Suerte! (I hope you speak and understand Taco Bell Menu) Adios

You are the hottest guy on the internet! I love these videos.

Groovy dude!

Definitely Entertaining.

Look forward to more video updates.

You know, i think when people post their comments, they think:
“ok, i don’t know why lose time posting this. Probably nobody will even read it”

But look at that modeling socks joke from Phil up there.
That’s a horrible one, really blows.
hahahae, just kidding man, excelent joke.
And probably nobody will even read this comment also.

anyways, cool stuff AK-47.

This is really quite odd. The production value on your video seems way too high, and is almost a detriment. It almost feels staged (which the lighting is) which almost makes it impersonal in a way. It’s nice to see your face for once, but I would lose the high tech background, and do it more raw.

Just my $.02

that’s cool….

Hi-tech background haha you must have saw something I didnt. It was just a green screen with select lighting, I dont know how that is hi-tech. I liked it.

love the blue hair light!

Hey Andrew,
What didn’t you face the camera straightly, and gave that angled pose?

Just wandering : )

are you in a cave???

There’s not even a green screen if you ask me. Just smart lighting – well, actually quite basic lighting – and it works great! I can’t agree with you, Kert Gartner. I think it’s not impersonal at all and fun to watch.
I’ll look forward to more videos like this.

i think you should make all the following blog updates with this so called video thingy. ah, and nice hair!

Hello guy !
Nice to see you,
Bad news : I’m afraid you’re really crazy now
Can you ship for me 2 monkeys as soon as possible ?lol

Geez.. dude… you are even funnier when you talk rubbish on video.. i couldn’t stop laughing..

I can already see that this is going to be awesome

hahahah…GREAT VID!!!!…I didn’t know what u looked like til’ now!!! hahhahahahaha FUNNY!

Quickmatte will be Awsome!!!

Awsome!!! Andrew sir…

Hey are those T-shirts available to ship in Cyprus too? Cause i’m a long way down!! :p

Dude, hope to see you on Season 9 of Scrubs.

P.S if you get the part i want a free Tshirt.

Can’t quite believe that you actually read all these comments, but if you do…

You deserve the success you’re getting, quality work but with humour – there’s too many video/film/fx people out there who take themselves too seriously – you guys really hit the mark.

I love the video entry – maybe PiP tutorials? Assume it was shot with either a RED or Canon 5D, looks that kind of quality. And I don’t think it was impersonal, it was simple, clean, focussed on what it was meant to which is you.

Great work, please don’t stop!

I love your ‘Jude Law’ hair style XD. Can’t wait for Quickmatte plugin.

Thx!, and sorry for my english!

Michael (from spain)

That’s amazing….I wish i found one in Egypt……(T-shirts)

Awesome Video Blog! it works really well; I liked the lighting, you got some nice tone and depth in there. And the plugins sound cool too.

Great stuff.

Wooooo!!! xD Nice Style Andrew!! T-Shirts are truly wonderful O.O

P.s.

Alan, don’t worry I read all the comments.

LOL – AT the end AK´s eyes are rolling like the evil dog from this one Simpsons episode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTdBroj_pO0

Awsome

Another original idea Andrew :p

Andrew, take a break. We remain faithful to you anyway! You work too much! But we probably do all in this business…
(From German translated by my iPhone… damn i love this mobilephone… please create an app BTW nice mobile webpage!!!)

nice show.
keep t on!

Mr Kramer!
You should definitely make more of these, it’s always good to put a face to a voice. I thought you’d have a big white beard and glasses…and a red hat…and a red suit…with white fluffy bits and a herd of reindeer.
Good to know that you atleast exist anyway

I’ll definitely try and bag me a t-shirt.

Keep up the great work. This website is my favourite website on the web.
Cheers,
Kieran

Good video, you should make more of these video’s to tell us the latest updates. (It’s just because i’am to lazy to read)

Cheers

nice very nice, thank you so much

Awesome vid Mr Kramer, Gonna get myself a VCP-Tshirt!

Pure awesome, nothen else to say

LOL I look like you! Anyways your awesome period. Not much ore to say lol

Did you have a UFO in that room or something?

Keep it up Andrew. I want a monkey IN a t-shirt.

I’ve noticed that when you talk, your left eye is closing a little more thant the right one.
Now, try not to think about it on your next video blog… good luck

PY

Hey Andrew, will t-shirts be available to download or DVD only? Arf.

I think that’s a Neumann TLM 103 mic Andrew’s using.

nice andrew it’s juste awesome from algéria

and i don’t know how to get this cool t-shirt can you sand it to me to algérie? please

tshirts, monkeys and after effects. ehta more? eh eh eh

awesome i want more =)

this is awesome and nice to see a video update – is it just me or does the video cut out at :43??

Great!

I want a T-Shirt!

I think its great man! Keep on rockin the vids bro!

And another thing…if video copilot doesn’t work out, you can always go into some sort of after effects comedy special or something…idk…but your pretty funny!

Laters

Hi
Mr. Andrew I beleve that u r the best on Grafic in this world..
can ask u about the model of your mic which made very good BASS and TUNE?
Thanks 4 u.

Regrds
Auday GBR

I liked the VBlog

Great job, This is how a blog should be.

hey.. u r my hero

those T-Shirts are gonna sell out in hours!
btw: can always invent some beard removal and shirt simulation effects for shows

Many hours spent working on colour corrections and skin tone effects to look presentable like that!! LOL

Really funny enjoyed it.

Paul

I cannot tell you how excited I am to hear more news about quickmatte! I’m doing a big project soon involving a lot of gren screen work, some of it on a large scale and I’ve got a feeling quickmatte is going to be a god send!

Also I think this video update works really well, Andrew you’re obviously a very charismatic guy and the camera loves you baby!

Keep it up!

I think the video updates will be great and very popular, hope to see more soon!

So that’s what Andrew’s voice looks like!

Keep up the good work, guy!

awesome work! I love it

Hey Andrew,

What do you use to post your video on the web. What codec, software, and settings do you use?

Thanks,
Stephen

where did you dye your hair? LOL!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THAT WAS TOTALY WICKED!
Thats what I was almost gonna do on my journaling for my 2 month internship with a program on Base in germany.

n1, good vid and would be cool for you to keep doing these.

Andrew U rock! I know you’re NOT in the T-Shirt business but I’m buiyng one of those:D. Hope u will deliver this AWESOME merchandise to Argentina.
Congrats!;)

OMG, the voice has a face!! really fun to see you talk on camera, instead of only your voice.
please continue with this video blogs!

btw, can you ship a t-shirt to holland? thats a small country in europe, above belgium, quite larger than belgium, next to germany. its not france, or austria… or jupiter…

awesom work, really cool and very funny too! lol
keep it on mr kramer!!

mr. kramer thanks for the cool tutorial you been doing
can you be my mentor?

david Ghana.

hey andrew,will you be shipping some t-shirts to eastern europe(serbia) ’cause i would like to buy one.and if not,could you put a picture that’s on the shirt so we can get shirts by our own?

Awesome!

this “video Business” is the way to go!

Oj andrzejku kochany… no siÄ™ postaraÅ‚eÅ› tylko szkoda że gówno z tego rozumiem ale jest fajnie a nawet jeszcze lepiej )))

maybe we should start mixing ur videos with the tutorials….why not:)
anyway…nice one master!

different to see the face and to hear the voice together

if you could incorporate some alien abductions into the vlog, that would be really impressive.

Sorry to say i agree with Kai, your face doesn’t match your voice. But looking forward to the Video Copilot Show.

Awesoem video, I like the fact that you did a little bit of production work on this video when you spoke about the new lens flare plug-in and no distracting background. Please keep them coming, great job.

Please some more of those! Fun to watch!
I liked T-shirts.
I wold liked make some here in BRAZIL, post the t-shirt pictura for us. I’ll print here.

hey i love this stuff, hmmm… what i was thinking why not try a question on answer show on which you can reply to our comments.

Thats awesome! I rather see you on video than read the text of the blog. Nice work!!!

awesome!
daily update please!

Amazing! Love the idea of filming yourself to tell us what you need to say (news and other stuff). You are funny in the way that you tell a joke but you don’t have any expression in your face. lol!

Ps: Very professional looking video, eg: when you talked about the FX you put one over your own footage. nice!

Very nice! I’d specifically like to note the great lighting and sound! Funny and top-notch, as always. I encourage you to make more “video updates.” Being able to actually see someone’s face also adds to the great community aspect of this site!

On a side note, I would like to say that the Optical Flares plug-in looks awesome. I have to ask, was it inspired by the new Star Trek you helped on? Cause the flares in that film were one of the things that really sold it, and the Optical Flares look similar (meaning awesome!).

Dude! Love your comedic timing and remember, you may have to shave and wear a shirt but you DON’T have to wear pants!

Awsome!!!! pleaaaaase do more of these

It will be fun if you go accros the new studio to show us more of it ?
but this is just a suposition

Sorry for the bad english
Gothel:Hugo

Really nice! But when will ‘The Video Copilot Show’ realease? :S

that was very cool. enjoyed seeing you. more, more, more.
also can’t wait to check out quick matte and lens flairs-

nice video, buen video seguimos en contacto desde mexico, saludos,

not sure why, but i find this video slightly disturbing

hilarius!!

and wth is that blue light in your head? look good in your beck but not in hour head!!

lol!!

anyway.. u are a great photographer director too, one of the best videopost that i see, great light!
