I thought I would try something new today so I recorded a video update. Not to be confused with the inevitable “Video Copilot Show”, I’ve recorded this short video update to talk about some of the things that are happening at Video Copilot. I’d like to keep these short and casual but it might be a nice way to talk about things that are difficult to put in words.
Bad news: I have to start wearing shirts and possibly shaving regularly.
Let’s see where this goes…
412 RESPONSES TO "VIDEO UPDATE: WHAT’S UP!"
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!
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…
BTW nice mobile webpage!!!)
(From German translated by my iPhone… damn i love this mobilephone… please create an app
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!
“by Jim
September 30th, 2009 @ 9:59 am
Dude! Love your comedic timing and remember, you may have to shave and wear a shirt but you DON’T have to wear pants!”
serisly dude, u have some strange comments!
great work andrew, love these vlogs, someone said earlier “same amohnt of andrew, just less reading!”
will u b shipping t shirts to ireland? i’ll definitly buy one!
btw nice lighting!!
Andrew, I think it’s a great way to keep us updated, nice touch with the optical flares. Keep wondering if the blue hair light is real or just an After Effects effect too…
I’m totally tripping balls right now.
Really cool Andrew look forward to more
. Maybe in the next one include some info on projects in the real world you are doing. Like StarTrek titles etc… 
Ps Congrats on Emily
T- SHIRTS!!! great!, Have you ever thought in selling hats too? that would be cool!
WOW, thats how you look? i thought you were an old, balled guy….
I just watched the first 3 seconds and I… I…
Dont know why but… I cant stop laughing! I just cant!
hehehehehehe
i totally have a crush
Ahh, the real Art Bell revealed!!! I knew it!
i like this T.shirts and i wana one but can i get one in egypt
:D
Excellent Job Andrew. It was nice seeing you in action. You definitely have a radio voice. I did radio for many years before going into vfx. Know what you mean about the late night phone calls. I was a radio shrink…you can just imagine.
I found this a little disturbing. Voice doesn’t match the face somehow.
Congratulations on your daughter…
I just realized that we did not see a new tutorial the whole entire month of September. Wow its been a while.
Moving to our new studio and having a baby take time… lot of stuff to do
Hey Andrew,
Huge fan and own everyone of your products.
On another note, there is a scene in Oceans 13 that has a computer operator that looks exactly like you. Did you ever have a small part in the movie as a fill in? The reason I ask is because the special effects is reminiscent of your style. Just curious If you like I can take a snap shot of it so you can see what I am talking about.
Yes ,this video is very cool
Cool video and the new plugin you’re working on looks really awsome. Congratulations to you getting a daughter!
hope to see some cool tutorials soon since it has been a while but I suppose you are a busy man.
you are funnier than Jay leno
LOL!, First time i saw your face, btw, Nice Bass mic.
You know what my favorite part of this was?
The end.
And not in the mean way, but you go from doing an outro, to the player resetting with it’s default BG snapshot of you as if some hot supermodel just walked in the room.
So we go from an animated Kramer to a still-shot of his eyes buggin out.
Classic.
Awesome !:D,weird seeing you talk, but great !:D
AE FTW !
HOW MANY TAKES????
tht’s t-shirt is so cool like as u and http://www.videocopilo.net………….. he he
Love it.
You have no idea how strange it is seeing a real live human saying the words “Hey whats up, this is Andrew Kramer for..Video copilot…..dot net.”
Its surreal.
Keep up the video updates!
That was cool… I liked it
lol, I’m always watching the tutorial were your voice is just heard, and we never see you. And actuallt watching you talk is like watching some guy talking and dubbed your voice over it, lol
MAN! Really. You can try enter in t-shirts business or maybe monkey business, but trust me, don’t try enter the humor business, you are the best man in VFX world, IN vfx world! Not Humor
(its a joke, tried like yours)
Hey Mr. Kramer whats the name/brand of that mic? Thx
If we could have a poll on this vs written blogs, I’d think the majority would vote for video. Now that isn’t to say we should eliminate written blogs… Kramer, you have written a lot of blogs that are very rich in information and I really appreciate all of em including the ones with some expressions we can use, etc. I like these video blogs though; gives a lot of feelings
!
I enjoyed this video blog, nice way of incorporating what your doing and whats going on both visually and audibly. Um I think that’s right LOL. Keep up the good work AK.
it is kinda feel weird looking at your video with your voice. I am so used to listening your voice only. haha!
Awsome Job Andrew. Love that video!!
He..he.. so that is the expresions of your face when you doing your work.. cool man.. keep smile
Absolutely loved it!
aBsolutely..this is cool.last night ..i remember in one of your blogs that your going to have a video blog on the site..and this is it..i really get magneted the way you speak..it’s really cool..watching guy behind great tutorials ..and now you see him on this screen..whaha
great job…
dude, how do you call 10am early. I know you wake up at least 6 to 7am with the babies. Btw,keep up the vidoes.
nice lighting!
Very very nice…..good!
I’m from brazilian, I love you Kramer, you is THE BEST.
mateus enke….
thank you andrew has many people we work thank you and I live in Dominican republicia have much reputation that we have followed your advice many thanks really thanks

HEy andrew! 3 things i need to know:
1. what kind of camera are you using for that video
2. the microphone, brand and model
3. Lighting setup
So, this is what it was like when radio shows first broadcast in black and white. Nice to see the man behind the voice.
Oh man I would kill for an official video copilot Monkey!
Ok so I just watched the real world, road rules challenge the Ruins and I found it funny that they used the premade scores in Pro Scores for their show, completely un altered. Just shows how good these products are.
Are the monkeys any good with After Effects?
Lets the show begin! Can`t wait. This “Video Update”-Style is great!
hi…nice video and the light u use…love to see your next video keep smiling andrew bro.
oh very very very very very nice
u just bring it fresh.. *thumbs up*

Can you tell the name of the microphone you use?
Hey Andrew,
First sorry but I’m french, so I don’t speak englsh very well. Don’t pay attention ^^
Well, I just want to tell you it’s a great website, with great products and great video tutorials. I’m new in this giant world and, seriously, your videos are veeery useful. Thanks for all of your stuff, you must be working really hard and spending a lot of your time to match thoses videos so, a veeery BIG THANKS to your job, because everybody thinks same : you are a hero !
Have a good day and try to continu your story !!
PS : When I’ll have the money, I’ll buy you a T-Shirt, I promise guy. I like VideoCopilot ^^
Thank you for all !
This was cool! I’m going to buy one of those T-Shirts.
Hey Andrew, I love the video update and can’t wait to see what else you have in store!
Thanks,
Sosa
Great idea. Making video updates once in a while personalizes you with the fans. Good way to get even MORE visitors to the website and your products
haha I always wondered what you looked like dude you’re awesome I’m definitely going to get a tshirt if I can you guys tought me after effects after all.
I want a t-shirt!!! from chile!!! please!!!!
and Andrew you are definitely the coolest guy in the net…
see ya
Hi whats uoop !!
Andrew this is cool .. thanks for all
I know you won’t read this so I won’t buy one of your t-shirts but I still love you man!
hey the video blog thing is cool
simple question:
WHAT CAMERA DID YOU SHOOT IT ON?
AND WHAT KIND OF MIC DID YOU USE
WAS YOU RUNNING IT THROUGH A MIXER TO GET SUCH BASS
thanks alot
Hey Andrew.
Is your new product Optical Flares able to create your own Flares?
And can I use my own Jpeg Pictures for the Lens Flare Core?
That would be really awesome, because you could draw your Lens Flares in Photoshop or could photograph theam (Real Ones) and load them into your Plugin.
I’m really excited!
Dude u rock! AK, the AE rockstar…:)
My wife thinks you’re hot! lol
Super great that you are adding the video segways.
great job;) thanks
Excellent! As usual… I want a VCP t-shirt right now!
That was good Andrew!! I mean amazing!! Awesome!!
Every Single Thing is AWESOME with VCP
keep rocking!!
The only thing I would add is a backlight. Perhaps, move the blue light from the right and use it as a backlight, thus adding a little more professionalism to your v-blog.
Rock on!
What’s up Andrew! The new plugin sounds really cool! With action essentials 2, check out what I created.

Hope you like it.
This is my school bus. Your the man!
Hey Andrew! I’m a MASSIVE FAN of your website in the UK. Would love to see you do more video blogs instead of text blogs. It’s so good to see your face and hear your voice rather than reading with your voice in my head as i read!! LOL. MORE OF THESE !!PLEASE!! Thankx…
I order you to make a new tutorial.
(all while watching you not the screen)
Dear Andrew. First let me congratulate you for your new daughter’s birth.
Ho, I also wanted to say-the lighting was bad…
it’s interesting….hehe
you rock andrew and vcp 2. keep it up
Waw awesome Light
I<3 Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 
Haha! Awsome cowboy
Hey man! Great idea on the vid! Good to change it up a bit. Hope all is well with the new baby!
Your Alabama friend
Vic
i like your sense of humor…
Good to get an update, cant wait for some new tutorials, your almost to 100 XD hope that 1 will be something really cool
Andrew you are the funniest man alive
Hi Andrew, nice to finally see you, I think you’re hott. Thanks for the great tutorials, you are a HUGE help. Hope your girls are all good. Tell them I said hi. GREETINGS FROM BARBADOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool!!
You are the Man!
I love the Coast To Coast AM reference.
nice and fun !
waiting your new plugin
really thanks for your job
euclid
Where is the link to this video that’s all the rave? All I see is the picture of AK at the mic and the paragraph explaining the update. I searched the site but still no link or video. Could be my dial-up?
You know.. this clip actually makes me wonder what kinda mic that exactly is… first time i’m intrested in something other then VFX on this site
Optical Flares, sounds Great! I’ve seen this cool effect on “Fringe” and always tried to imitate the effect but I’m always gettin’ nowhere, hehe. Can’t wait to have that new plug-in, thanks videocopilot for always making our life a lil easier,
Yes, 300!
Love the blue light.
I recall seeing the Quick Matte pop up in one of the tutorials (although it went unmentioned, I believe) and I have been awaiting its arrival ever since…
Put it out NOW!
XD Can’t wait for your new plugin
You do have a photogenic face (with equally good voice of course) . . Ever thought of acting in the movies???
Actually you should be sending your next video link to George Lucas . . like you have a new weapon (innovative as you are) in your hands, slashing the screen into pieces to reveal something (use your imagination) . . .
. . . and you what – you might be the next Jedi Knight (on VC Dot Net).
Andrew, are you now mocking me because I used to call into your late night radio show? You told me you believed. Now, I will go back to trusting no one.
Fight the future Andrew. When you make all these cool products you are actually accelerating the future.
Regards, Fox
i only can say ….. I WANT A T-SHIRT, jajajaja. Can’t wait to have that new plug-in.
what a wonderful video. nice lighting Fx in your face
Thank you!!!SOrry for bad englesh!It is cool plugin!!!
Like the blue light, but you should move it to the left, to the other side of your head to create a better back light.
Hey man good job with the video and (pause) stuff. I like it
I hope to see more more of these videos in a weeks to come.
By the way you didn’t show us the monkey, what is it like?
anyways keep up the good work.
Cheers
Halgurt
i want a T-shirt too XD
^_^’
Do not shave, do not wear shirts, just be creative as you are.
THIS JUST IN!
VIDEO_COPILOT:
KICKS ASS, TAKES NAMES!
something awkward about actually hearing that voice and not see the after effects screen… its like he’s looking into my soul…
ha.
hi there, i’m from the philippines.. and i started to watch your tutorials video a few months ago.. and i find it very interesting and simple to understand.. ^.^) keep it up andrew.. and God bless…..
I second the chocolate rain sing along. Love your site, tuts & products.
nice work man it will be so cool and helpful and about t-shart its logo is so awesome man have nice live
Kramer you’re a wackjob.
Fortunately you’re a hilarious and educational wackjob.
But you’re still a wackjob. Don’t stop.
I like the video blogs. You almost made me want to buy a t-shirt. Almost…
I don’t know if you have many fans or not;) but I’m a really big one even though I’m skinny. Anyway I see your tuts in use all the time. Thanks for instilling creativity! I liked the video keep it up.
hey I want one of those monkeys, where can i see the models?
PRO SCORES ON MTV!!!
So i am flipping through the channels and I get to MTV. I start watching this show called the real world road rules challenge, it was the newest episode, and I hear pro scores in the background!!! I just wanted to say great job and congradulations for kinda sorta being on tv!
Very… Very Cool, Videocopilot My First Home of Tutorials AE.
Coming… More News and Videotutorials xD. Thanks!
Andrew- so you mean to tell me I no longer have to set expressions on my masked solids to create those gleams off my lens flares?
Sometimes plug-ins are bad news for artists. Is it really a good idea to make such awesome effects possible with only a few easy clicks? It takes the skill and talent out of AE artists. With that said, looking forward to the release.
The video update is cool- but I was a little wierded out watching you talk to me rather than just listening. Keep it up- by the way how many takes before you got it all right in one take?
Best-
your 428,213th fan
dude you do not – you’re a robot
Oh! Hi, Andrew Kramer…
Very nice as always..
I think the video bogs will be great..
T-SHIRT… T-SHIRT!!!
Your not in the T-Shirt business…But YOU SHOULD BE!
The guy above says he’s your 428,213th fan. If that were true and you sold 1 T-Shirt to each fan at $17 a piece thats….
$7,279,621!!!
If everyone bought a T-shirt that is. I certainly want one. And I think I represent the demo well. Nerdy…. ‘Nuff Said. ’bout T-Shirts
Lens flare thingy is cool as well.. I guess. No JK it is. But t-shirt, yes t-shirt…
hey andrew! nice work! you the man!
nice andrew can’t wait to see more…maybe some short tuts?
I guy is cool…..i think its in his blood..
excellent video….you should always do the intros/outros in the tutorials like this…
Taiwan may buy the T-shirt cedar?!
No t-shirt for me. But I’ll take an x – large monkey.
Cool!!
You are the Man!
i want a monkey xD

Love the video blog. Suits the users on the site perfectly!
Another blog post!
I can breathe again!
whew!
*I have attached my ego to you, Mr. Andrew “King Of The Universe” Kramer!
AWESOME!
*like so many other automaton droids—–see all above comments.
Andrew, and team,
After following your tutorials for a good while,and learning many of the technics you teach,(Thanks so much), I still find myself wondering about things like your settings in the latest video , the codecs used, the camera,and mics etc. Maybe you could include that “metadata” in the future? Or mabe I need to dig deeper in VC’s site, Just a thought. The “show” idea seems to be a natural evolution for you. I enjoyed your video “interview” as well. Congrats on all your sucsess!
Great Idea Andrew! Its always hillarious to listen to your voice when you do a tutorial.. so visually, its even better! very dry, slapstick type humor! You da man!

This is the actual first time I got o see the guy on the other end of them awsome tutorials… Great Job Andrew, I really have and keep learning a lot with your tutorials!!!
T SHIRT, T SHHHIIIIRTTTTTT,
Large would be nice.
T from A
After only hearing your voice on the tutorials for so long, it looked like you dubbed your voice onto some random guy for this. lol Great stuff, man, keep it up!
Cool, but when do we get a tutorial about effects like in the matrix, Agents morphing, bullet time and much more
That would be the bomb and nice website and where can i buy a t-shirt?
Epic. Finally got to see the face behind the voice. You rock, Andrew
Thanks for pointing out the audio mic because the first thing I noticed about this video was how perfect the audio was.
Great video blog, Mr. Kramer. Please check out my latest short film, it’ll take under two minutes of your time. I couldn’t have made it without purchasing your Action Essentials 2 DVD. Thanks for your sharing your expertise with the rest of us!

ausum andrew im hoping for some more tutorials now
Not so sure how useful it is, but.. it’s still something new.
It seems from the FAQ section Andrew used Nuemann Microphones so…megabucks methinks. Not sure if the FAQ’s are up to date though as I believe Andrew uses RED cameras now instead of the JVC
great video ! we wait 4 new plug-in
Your work is very inspiring Andrew
greetings!
Hey Andrew!
I’m Federico. i’m argentinian (south america). i translated a lot of progams and subtitled a lot of tutorials. so, i thinked about translate your plugins to spanish. i really like to do it! so, if you can, send me an e-mail. THANKS
Hey! So that’s Andrew Kramer!
Nice to meet you Andrew
We’ll wait for you, I’m really admired about you. You do such a great job.
It was nice to finally see your face. I had thought you’d be a little uglier… disappointment… =]
Wow! going great here!
Andrew’s going to take over the world even sooner and quicker than the Illuminati, started up his own (not so secret) society!
New flares plugin looks great, looking forward to hear more about that
Also, sign me up for a shirt doc.. seems i’m not the only interested in one of those on the planet!
Thanksss!

Umm… what I wanted to say, everything I know about after effects, I learned from you
That was AMAZING! (eyes shifting back and forth)
Andrew! What mic are you using! Sounds great!
I remember you had a video podcast before. Any possibility in turning this “project” into something that can be available to download as an RSS feed for my iPhone? You could obviously use it to drive traffic to your site…

Hi Andrew Kramer
I really appreciate your work, I consider you a genius in after effects.
I wonder what the expression that was used in the transition of the textures in the video presentation of Evolution. Just 20 seconds of video.
Thank you, I’ll be very happy if you can help me!

Never know “the voice from the web” has a face..

Hey man, I gotta say that I love your tutorials, and love your humor even more! When my days get slow and I need a laugh, I go right for your site and see what crazy stuff you’re doing.

Regards from japan(^o^)/
Yo! Andrew the new Plugin Camera tracker is wicked, this would bring a sigh of relive for many. Thumbs up for You and Your Team. My After fx CS4 wouldn’t Play sound, why Plase Need advice(creativegenome@yahoo.com)and Please would love you to do a tutorial on the effect in the the glass effect and an effect in the Chapter displays on the serie “Hero”, which i am thinking is a masking effect.Thanks Pal.
Question for u guys: Can you export your camera solve (from camera tracker) into 3dsmax or cinema 4d or blender? I ask because I love the ease of using the tracker but need to still use the 3d proggies for getting the models lit etc…
Thanks for being my coach. ‘AE’ made easy! thumbs up! Andrew. You and your team should keep up the good work. I’m a big fan of yours.
Cool Flare Effects, as Always good work
