kramer FTW

Nice job! I can now actually see what it’s like when it comes to filming.

right on andrew . . yo r da best (NOOOT)

Wow That was Amazing AK

very great video, can’t w8

Sam Vs. Sam was amazing, you should post it as a separate movie, it was hilarious, amazing job!

By the way when filming Sam Vs Sam, did you film on a tripod and use a wiggle effect in AE, or was it filmed hand held and motion tracked?

that`s awesome
can`t wait

Where can I buy THE caps !!!! lol

Always good to see how high goes this pilot !
thanks so much for your amazing energy Andrew.

Greetings from Lyon France.

So where do I order my hat?

hahaha, Sam’s explotion was funny

Hahaha! That was good.

it was good but not as good as the others but i think that is because of the length but it was still very good

Keep it up

@Thechrisj:
Filmed with a tripod and wiggle added in AE. Good Catch!

I love seeing the BTS!!!
More more more!!!

The video loads very slow, and it just play few seconds and stop to the begining, I’ve experienced this problem since the last show –

Andrew, Is here any thing changed to your servers or Bandwidth of the streamed video.

Please help me

Thank you

Sample video is amazing, both of them. Always inspiring us, thanks.

Awesome! Loved every minute.

Awesome!
Can’t wait for the tutorial .

wow!!! amazing
cant wait for the tutorial

it smell very good! concerning halloween in France, commercial try to “impose” us this celebration 3 or 4 years ago, but people dont really know the…” background” of this celebration, they just saw that was a huge commercial operation. so in France halloween is not so expensive.

That was awsome. But it would be great if you could make the shows a little longer =)
YOur site is amazing and boy did it grow fast in the last years
( I just had to say that)

Hahahaha, you guys crack me up. I’m seeing some nice compositing in the rain shot too, the clouds and city in the background. Also nice to see that you keep thinking of new creative and innovative ways to kill Sam!

Hey looks totaly awesome!

I did a lightning effect too today!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Acr4iEUL6Xc&fmt=22

Andrew, Will we be able to download the Sam vs Sam video from VC.net?

On the face of it, it seems like Sam has lots of a…..um…..issues.

When the fact of it is – he’s doing what came from the pen of SOMEbody else.

Hmmmmmmm…

amazing….so now I need to get a cap koz winter is comming, hehehehehehehe

Where cna I buy Video Copilot cap and T-shirt?

happy all hallows even. sam is my big hero. hope to learn more about your CG-rain because im working on a clients project in which it has to rain

brilliant as always, i love the rain droplet effect on the floor

Great video blog and a pretty cool Forrest Gump t-shirt.

http://www.lastexittonowhere.com ?

God i loved this blog show!

Please make em coming!

When can we get the hats! :O

Brilliant! Can’t wait. I’m tired though, it’s 11:00 in Wales. That’s very cool though. Sam LOL Thanks again. Can’t wait for the tutorials and other blogs. By the way, when filming the “rain sam lightning scene – Upcoming Tutorial with Sam Loya” did you also film that on a tripod and use a wiggle effect in AE, or was it filmed hand held and motion tracked? (I Understand that this question has been asked but not about this scene though. Please write back. Thanks again,

Loved it!

It would be very nice to see some more behind the scenes footages. I would like to see how you set up things – and even better with some tip and tricks added. Tips to the shooting and setup.

Wonderfull, Andrew You Make My Halloween!!!
Can’t Wait until tomorrow to see the tutorial, but first I’ll gonna buy the Blu Ray of The Goonies! I Love them and I appreciated you making the scene of the Fratelli’s escape from jail in the blog show. What a movie and what a soundtrack!

im so glad you did a vfx tutorial…im alot more interest in them than the motion graphic stuff…and i love effects like that! looks good

also nice forrest gump shirt haha

Wow, I just finished making a similar effect for a project today. Yours just looks better
Thanks for being so involved in the AE world!

that was great! greetings from greece

That’s cool!
Love the behind the scenes part..
Always love to see what happens behind the cameras!
And also, what do you think about the new show on discovery science? It’s called ‘Science of the movies’, except for that guy being too happy about it, what do you think?

Show us more of you and sam (and the rest of the crew, ofcourse!) behind the scenes, and I do like these little movies!

Great job VP!

i hope the tutorial wont be up late ..please!

Awesome show! look forward to the tutorial

also, Love the Bubba Gump T-shirt! lol.

sam vs sam was gr8 …cat wa8 the Tutorial

Wow, the backround looks interesting with all the buildings and lightnings behind the clouds. Can’t wait for the tutorial! Keep up the great work!

Looks so amazing!!!! Cant wait to try it

Wow! For sure a hit ! You sunk my virtual minds eye battleship my friend . Happy Hallows Eve !

haaha that´s amazing like a [D9]

[GREAT]

Hey AK,
Maybe you should have a tab for VCP gear where we can buy the hat’s and t-shirt’s, coffee mugs, Halloween masks of you and Sam, pajamas, etc.

Cool, cant wait for the tutorial.

Andrew,

Random question….are you wearing fallen sneakers?

Andrew – I loved the Goonies reference. This is the biggest LMFAO you have provided in all of your tutorials. Thank you and Happy Halloween to you & Sam!

Are those hailstones?

Also, there’s a glitch in the spark composite;

when Sam’s seperated from his legs (and the sparks are gone) you can still see some of them showing up on the ground … I guess that’s not ment to be ^^

Other then that: NICE!

Can’t wait on that tutorial!

- ShoeToad

Hey Andrew,

Will the hat help me pick up chicks?

Or if you’re still living:))

Hey Andrew,
That’s very cool! I really love your Tutorials and Blog Shows!!!
Greets from Germany!

Not to be pessimistic, but all that blood/gore on the ground needs to interact with the water puddles and rain more if you want it to look completely realistic…

I think the single thing i am gonna like in this tutorial is the rain effect…
I’m orthodox and Halloween has a lot of satanic symbols and stuff….unfortunately americans seem to enjoy it…unfortunately

Great Andrew, New blog working great. Cheers

That was funniest one ive seen in a long time. I think its A great thing u are doing showing behind the scenes shots, and how u actually make the scenes with sam excelent. Keep it up……

Oh man that was great! Sam Loya Fan Club page… do want! Sam Loya t-shirts, posters and jammies for the kids, a goldmine I tells ya. Must say I’m bummed by the timing of the announcement of the hat. I ordered three DVDs that should be arriving any day now, if I had known I’d have ordered a hat as well, since my hair takes no rigging whatsoever.

You need 80 candies inorder to get a 20$ suit…so now you can figure it out

LOVE YOU ANDREW!

AK video blogs are great!! Sam has lines this time! He is such a great actor!

I watch the Goonies at least twice a year. The music was an excelent touch :3

you are truly one of the greats. Look forward to every tutorial. Keep it up Andrew.

One thing i noticed is that the trees stop rustling when sam explodes. Not a biggie as many people won’t notice but its still there.

Hey andrew! i loved this blog haha! whan of the most hilarious ones ive watched yet. Cool thing with the hat! By the way. I would love to have like a Video Copilot mouse mat or something? maybe it would be a cool idea

love your stuff! greetings

Oh yeah, thats a sick idea stef, we totally need some videocopilot mouse pads.
Anyways, awesome “blog show” looking forward to the tutorial. Are you just going to give away the blood and stuff? I guess I have AE2 so it doesn’t really matter, but I was just curious.

Goonies music was killer…HAHA! Well done! I am still laughing!

Awesome, well done! Very entertaining!

I’m a fat bald guy in NEED of a Video Co-Pilot hat! When can we order the swag?! By the way, Thanks for saving my butt last weekend. Had a client that had a bunch ‘o video and needed a 26 hour turnaround for a web launch. Used VCP Pro Scores, Twitch, Designer SFX and new found knowledge from the Andrew Kramer Library of Knowledge. Only wish I had more time on the project…

http://www.youtube.com/tvforradio

Keep up the great work Professor!

Maybe, for the next tutorial, you could have Sam transform into a werewolf, or …a Jack Russel Terrier? Besides, all the Halloween stuff will be on sale tomorrow, so you could even save a few dollars on supplies. It’s a shame it couldn’t have been done FOR Halloween, though.

Poor, poor Sam :/

yeah you should give Sam more lines, he’s really a good actor

I think you could’ve had a more Halloween inspired tutorial, though somebody finally died a gruesome death.

hahaha! i rofled so much on sam’s face on the sam vs sam scene xD gj andrew as always.. 1 thing i noticed even from the first time i saw the video is at 5.05-5.07.. sam’s clone is not there well anyway we are w8ing for the tut!

No fake applause at the end to simulate the LIVE studio audience. :Z

All in all a great blog show, was nice to see the Video Copilot studio.

…I loved this guy known as Sam …

It’s a shame that you had to kill him. Cuz … we all know that Sam has no evil twin.

You can’t foul me with your special effects ANDREW !

He probably knew to much anyway… I can understand and forgive.

Seriously … nice job!

Love the video posts man, more behind the scenes!

cool stuff right here

Stand in hobo – real hobo – hahahaha

It’s gettin’ there man, it’s gettin’ there.

Rock on!

amazing..
can’t wait for the tutorial..

NICE!! Love the sam vs sam skit, and the new tutorial!

PS – Aside from the topic, I have a question. There is a lot of controversy going on over what editing software is the best: Avid, Final Cut, or Premiere Pro. They say that premiere pro isn’t even a factor, and that Avid is more top-of-the-line. Although I have had experience with all three, I still find Premiere to be a very good tool, although they choose to rule it out. My question is, what do you think is the most effective tool for professional editing?

hey. .

can’t wait for the upcoming tutorial!!

especially sam vs sam. .

hahaha. .

MABUHAY VIDEOCOPILOT!!!

AK you rock! if i every grow up i want to be just like you.

Hey! Im such a huge fan of the site! I have been working in after effects for about three months now, and every day I feel like I learn twice as much as I knew the day before!

Your tutorials are really great, and have been the main factor in the motivation behind my work.

Do you have any suggestions as to a plug-in that will allow text to be extruded in 3D? Because I currently use the shatter effect, but lighting gets a little iffy on that.I was just wondering if you use any plugins for that!

The world series is on, the USC game is on, its Halloween, DVXUser fest releases… and you expect me to watch this?? Its gonna have to wait…

Silly Troll! Keep ‘em coming!

My God, very cool!!!

now i gonna wait the tutorial

thank Andrew

tht looks epic
quick ques. sam vs. sam for the blood jeting out of him when he gets shot by the bullet did u use one or two of the action movie essentials blood bursts it jus looks familiar to tht

MICHEAL BAY vs ANDREW KRAMER… I’m confused, who’s work do i admire more?

Hahaha… it’s really cool to see u talking and directing man. I gonna try this tomorrow… now I’m going to party… XD

So can I get a hat the same place I can get a shirt?

I gotta get me one of those hats. Hope it’s in the blog post tomorrow Or maybe free with the purchase of Optical Lens flares? HA HA!

Thanks, guys!

There you go cousin keep the good work up!! Proud of you! God bless.

LOL – …people gotta die. Halloween is a fun time and that v_blog was funny!

That was awsome man Always inspiring us, thnx. Also thanks a lot to our hero SAM, he is an perfect actor 5*

tutorials getting better everytime, i was blown away, especially by sam vs sam very comical. I hope the 100th tutorial is something super cool, but once again THAT WAS AMAZING!

when can i buy a hat????

heartfelt greetings to you and your kinsmen Lord Kramer. In a future tutorial it would please me to see Sam Loya consumed by a ravenous swarm of ants!

haha…I like this video…Sam Speaks.

It is the first time I saw sam and he already dies ?!
LOL
However i can’t wait for the tutorial with him =)

Craving to see the tut.

Hmm, the tree stop moving after the lightning blast.. weird..

And this is why I love your site/company!
Looking forward to the tutorial.
Liking the behind the scenes look bit.

i love the behind-the-scenes. you should show all the behind scenes if the tutorial has one. we can learn a lot more if you do. can’t wait for the tutorial.

tvandang

hey Sir Andrew Kramer. .

how can we buy the video copilot hats
here in the Philippines?

and especially how can we buy the VCP’s T-Shirt. .
that you’ve showcase to us. .

anyway. . your right. .

thanks for some nonsense blogs. .

haha. .

more power VCP. . and please. .

release the Optical Lens Flare ASAP. .
(just requesting. .)

what about those caps? price?

this blog show was amazing.
I’ sitting at my desk the hole weekend, learning for an important history test and this video was reason enough for me to take a break
thank you.
Now I’m motivated to carry on.

Do a tut how to do a good video podcast like this, what cam, mic, light and codec setup?

OMG!!!
Great job!!!

Dude love the blog shows but where can we buy the hats and shirts?

I’m very excited for those tutorials!

And I really enjoyed the use of your new lens flairs, they look amazing!

That was very cool. McLovin’ the behind the scenes. You need to get this on CBS. Right after Letterman…

Andrew did u use (Rayfire tool) to make the exploding effect in the intro

haha oh man you are funny man : “stand in hobo” then “actual hobo”

Make the next one longer and more.. time-wastable :D
Btw, the lightning, Is that the built in “Advanced Lightning” or did you composite it on your own?

hahah cool Andrew.

amm, hey!

this stuff is not tox…

LOL

Hey I’m looking forward to that tutorial!
I also did a lightning effect and a short breakdown vid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Acr4iEUL6Xc&fmt=22

LOL,

Awesome blog show. I chuckled through 80% of it.

GLAD TO SEE THE SAM MAN BACK!

You’ve got to add the ricochet sound fx to a project file Andrew. LOL

With the new way of video feel we are with you in your creations

So awsome,

sam vs sam and the new tutoiral…. niiiiice!

Wow Nice Lighting in Sam vs Sam
I like the SAM is not dominated by laughter while filming Allow me for translation

Excellent stuff man! I’m using electricity powers and lightning in a VFX film I’m working on, so you came right on time once again!

And the goonies rule!

Looking forward to the tutorial.
Thx again AK

LMAO!

This was freaking hilarious! I actually watched it 4 times to take it all in, but man this funny on so many levels.

With a lot of respect,
Lee Andrew

Mr Kramer, the blogs and tutorials are always good value, but the goonies call in this had me in stitches-genius!!top stuff sir, thanks for a tuts and insights a magic site

cheers
nigel

WHOA! nice tutorial! I expected to see it now allready, since i was refreshing the page for hours yester day night (i commented at 21:54 local time here) and not it’s 11:20 here, and the tutorial still isn’t up, is there something wrong? Or is it just becoming evening there?

I’m also wondering how you would fix the problem with the wind. The tree on the back end isnt blowing at all, probably since you did some scene extension there.

But the trees on the front shouldn’t stop moving from the wind after Sam explodes, which happens now. I know I’m talking about stupid details because the shot looks EXCELLENT. But I’m curious to know how you would be fixing that…

After Sam explodes the Trees stopped mooving.

Glad people understood the goonies reference! Wasn’t sure about that one

As for the static trees at the end… you will see in the tutorial the trees are not static. In the example, I decided to make Sam explode at the last minute so I didn’t recomp the backplate from the source footage.

Besides, maybe I wanted them to be frozen. These radioactive lightning bolts generate high frequency electro-STATIC waves that freeze everything within a 6-block radius! Even trees. or maybe I just forgot…

hahahahahahahahahaha great video Andrew , and the tutorial will be amazing i’m waiting for it

people gotta die!!

finally a tut with dismembering people, blood n’ gore! Thank you so much Andrew. Can’t wait til’ tomorrow!

This is great man

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. I was so much laughing about the scene where he shoots himslef. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D I was really laughing out loud.
melle (Germany)

OMG, That is so funny. Love the Goonies reference. I love that film, one of my all time fav’s.

As always, you and the team, over at VideoCopilot, do the best tutorials and it has to be said the out takes were brilliant!
More blog’s like these please.
Looking forward to the tutorial as always..
Peace Out
Dave

Hey Andrew,

what is your camera?

it’s perferct quality, i want to know, to collect the money and buy one for me!

You Are No.1 For Me And … !

Tanks Dood

Andrew nice work . It is so funny , very very nice episode of you Blog Show . Sam Loya is the best “actor” Ive ever seen !!!! The Sam’s face of guy in the red shirt , oh my god I can’t stop laughing

Poor Sam he always die in the scenes hahaha!

Nice Andrew.. Let’s wait 4 the tutorial;)

3D and 2D mixed or what?
see the next link…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3j2XaeVrjE&feature=player_embedded

Great stuff, extremely entertaining! It’s a shame these blog shows don’t go longer than they do.

I’d love to know how you did the rain so well, I tried to create some rain a few days ago in both After Effects and 3ds Max. Everything I tried, failed. I haven’t entirely given up, I am still looking around to see how it can be done well.

I can’t believe no one has mentioned the use of the Optical Flares in this video blog! Nice Andrew, I like them!! When will the be available? I gots to have them!!!!

Hi Andrew, phenomenal Blog Show! Great!!! ;o) One short question: Wich camera are you using for the shooting with Sam?

Nice Greetings,

André

how do you make the video copilot floor exploding intro to your vids? maybe a tut on that?

Thanks

Great show!
Awsome!

Yeah, which camera did you use?

Hmm, an interesting discussion to be had on the gear that you use. Not just the camera but I’m assuming there’s a 35mm lens adapter *or* is the depth of field in Sam vs. Sam created in AE. It looks more organic to me so I’m guessing a Redrock or similar. I believe I’ve seen the snout of a Kessler crane on the site at some point as well.So how about a rundown of the VideoCopilot gear horde, what’s hiding under the Rycote wind suppressor, what model of Blue mic are you using for the voiceovers and what’s the ratio of brand name versus home brew tech in use with team Kramer?

gr8 going as usual Andrew & Sam!!

Just Awesome!! Can’t Wait…

Andrew, yea fan of you work and student of your teachings anyways, I’m pretty much laughing off my underwear right now, since i don’t own pants anyways Mr Kramer, if you ever need an African worker that speaks like an Jamaican but in an understandable tone call meh or more likely skpe me since i don’t have a phone… just sending out love for your work man…

Really exclusive show thanks for all team

Video Copilot, you have made learning fun again! “Today boys and girls, we are going to learn how to turn some poor sap into tomato paste!” Well played as always.

wow he blows up like in “Watchmen” !

awesome!
I really like the Blog show.

Nice jacket, BTW.

Too cool….I loved the good-guy bad-guy part of Sam….I didn’t expect the bullet ricocheting off of things and hitting him…but it was cool to watch…also loved the exploding Sam….WOO HOO!

This really looks like getting shot by the arc gun from District 9, awesome!

actually natgeo did a cool animation on how much money the halloween can $$thchain to america

thanks for the blog…Ian from BRASIL

frikin’ awesome!

Just wondering if u plan on makin these video blogs work on the mobile site like the tutorials do. I’d love to be able to watch them on the move. In my view it would be more usefull to have this than the tuts. Still, keep up the good work buddy

great job again guys keep doing your thing

nice video blog!
i can’t wait to see the tutorial
you are amazing Andrew Kramer!

greetings from Belgium

hi have to say i have been on this website every day for about a year now and i love everything you do i liked how is this little movie you show use how you filmed a lot of it and i hope you keep on doing that.

i”m going to be buying my first Camcorder that VIXIA HG20 Hard Disk Drive and i can’t wait for it and i will be starting to do what you do haha
getting a green screen
i love this website
nice hates might buy one idk

goonies…haha…loved that one!

Poor Sam. He’s Video Copilot’s Kenny

I need one of those hats!!!!!!!!

Can’t wait for the tutorial

This was so good I had to watch it 3 times.

Hope we won’t have to wait long for the tutorial, I have a neighbor I want to get struck by lightning for drilling while I’m taking a nap. Wrapping him up in tinfoil and tying him to the chimney didn’t work out well last month.

Love the behind the scenes footage..I hope you will do that a lot..

Thanks for being both a tutor and inspiration

Fabian a.k.a. R-CANE

When I was on forum, I watched a couple of “headshots”, theye were pretty amazing, but this one looked REALLY realistic and cool:D You are really amazing in motion – graphics and visual effects. Good Job Mr. Andrew Kramer

Looks good, However I am really interested in the ground breaking and floating effect you did for the title card. It’s perfect for a short film I’ve been wanting to do. Any chance you are going to make a tutorial or blog post on the setup of that”?

I want the Video Copilot hat. What can I do to order it? Greetings from a Brazil’s fan!

By the way. Just a suggestion: What do you think to put one of the San’s boots falling on the ground, when the lightning destroyed him? You know? More realistic, I think.
Great job. Sam is the anti-hero.

Correction… anti-heroe, I mean.

i rather have a t shirt than a hat, like a funky abstract t-shirt, it’s be gud if andrew used some of those 3d light casting effects for the t-shirts

ant wait to see the new tut

Heeey, I like this kind of blog show, more than the one when you just sit on your chair all the episode, It’s much better with the cool scenes you recorded previously…
Anyway..

Happy Halloween Andrew! Keep rocking, you’re the master…

grrrrrrrrr i cant wait anymore

Hey Andrew you could upload a video showing us your new office,your place,how is your day,where you live and stuff like that!!
I would like to say thanks so much for all these years learning with Videocopilot!
Long life for you and your family

Hey Andrew, Great blog !
Where can we get the cloud in a can ?
I’m looking for that.

This blog show is really awesome, it’s a real pleasure to watch it, thanks for all your kickin’ ass stuff !!!

Simply love this one Andrew! Absolutly briliant!
And hell I want that hat!

/agree to Erick
Would be a nice thing to see your home/office

greetz from Germany

Hey Andrew you could upload a video showing us your new office,your place,how is your day,where you live and stuff like that!!
I would like to say thanks so much for all these years learning with Videocopilot!
Long life for you and your family

YES !! I requested the blow up effect from District 9 and BAM, there it is, with a twist! Awesome, just awesome!

Hey Andrew, way to dump out 6 gallons of water. California isn’t in a drought or anything, but I guess as long as its constructive its ok .

I can’t wait Andrew :p

Just wondering if u plan on makin these video blogs work on the mobile site like the tutorials do. I’d love to be able to watch them on the move. In my view it would be more usefull to have this than the tuts. Still, keep up the good work buddy

Great show. It looks amazing and again, at this rate you’re going to catch me at cyclenow.us,

looks great, can’t wait for the tutorial…
BTW, great Bubba Gump T-shirt

great but short…
to be honest i didnt like the legs of sam just standing there…

This show was fantastic It was so fun to watch it.
And I like it very much when you show “behind the scenes footage”
I look up to you Andrew and I could watch your show every day.. But too bad that there is so long time between every show…

Anyways Keep up the good work and Awesomeness.
Video copilot is the best!

Are you going to release 2 tutorials? One for the lightening and other for the clones?
I hope so.

Huh!?!!
“Catch you” …I guess I completely missed the AE parts.
As far as I can see you haven’t “started”

I could post a list of traing and marketing videos for insurance agents that’s hundreds of clips long, but I can’t because they’re for Agent/Brokers Use Only …that and I wouldn’t because they’re banal and would throw people here into chronic and acute fits of ennuie!

that effect looks like the zapper weapon from district 9 blowing up Sam

As always there Andrew another FANTASTIC ‘video’. Loving this new video blog/show thingy!

Would LOVE to see more ‘Behind the Scenes’ stuff of you guys filming for AE tuts. After-all you are ‘VIDEO’ Co-pilot not ‘AE’ Co-pilot. – LOL
- Just kidding, although I hope I haven’t given anyone any ideas on starting a new website. That said, if i did then I’d like a credit… or maybe some cash… or free-bs’ or something

Hi! this is Wow…..when u release Awesome tutorial…

Exelent preview, Andrew! Greetings from a Estonia.

wow… you know what… i love the behing scenes give me a meaning idea of how make this mare realistic and how you work

Are u uploading the video tutorial today? I am anxious waiting for it. Would you be able to give us a full behind the scenes for both tutorials? Also what was that fog thing you were spraying in the warehouse and where did you use it?

The website is still going to explode. There’s probably several hundred people anxiously refreshing so that they too can get a chance to strike Sam with lightning.

Can u tell us where u got the bubba gump T? Ta.

Man its soo late here in Germany.
Please post that tutorial!

I need a video copilot hat. I can’t live without one. All of my friends will think that I’m the coolest and they will want hats too. Then all of their friends will get hats. Eventually everyone will have a Video Copilot hat and then I will have to order the newer version of the video copilot hat. And then everyone will know that I am the one true video copilot King. Please let me know how to get a hat. dnastudioproductions.blogspot.com

Comom Andrew! It’s the tutorial time!
I want Videocopilot super nice hats :,)

This new blog thing is so freaking cool….Thanks andrew your the man….

“Well, it is Halloween… And people got to die…” Poor Sam, haha.

Thanks Andrew for taking the time to help us out, =)

That’s not nice for sam.

Wow that was awesome. You guys should make a short movie

Well, I’ve got enough after effectsing to do for tonight, so I guess I’ll just stay up to see the tutorial tonight . Almost midnight out here..

Andrew . R U gonna have any other promo anytime soon?
I missed the one you had last week ( 25% off).
Thanks .-

wow andrew, gets a lot of comments,
just wanted to say that the fancy template design was used for a UTV commercial here in ireland,
well done andrew

Thats wicked can’t wait.
Where did you get that Bubba gump t-shirt, so cool

Oh, Andrew hurry up with this tut, gotta get up early tomorrow and it’s midnight here in London.

Anyway, the blog show is evolved and I really like it, keep it up.

hrhr nice
Funney to see behind the scenes

but….i give up im going to bed tut.

Great Job, I loved the Goonies reference.

I like how in these video posts you can cut away and show some behind the scenes stuff on how things were set up. Keep up the good work.

This looks like a cool tutorial i love learning these visual effects in class all the time

this blog shot was great! loved the behind the scenes footage! amazing job on sam vs. sam! the camera shake looked very convincing as well, would you mind sharing what values you put into the wiggler for that? all the ones i’ve tried never look that good.

This tutorial looks absolutely amazing! So many different technuiqes involved… I can’t wait to try it out for myself!

The blood on the lense and the ground looks sick! The CC is great as always, and the lightning strike looks very good! You did a great job on mixing the RL elemtns, such as the blood splatter and sparks, with the CG elements. It’s also nice to see you bringing back some of the technuiqes from some of the older VC tutorials, such as the rain drops on the lense, and don’t forget the sky replacement! Breathtaking as always!

I can’t wait to see how you made the water on the ground splash. I’ve been trying to figure out how you did it, but I can’t seem to make it look right. Maybe the reason why I can’t re-create the water exactly, is because it’s RL footage from Action Essentials 2?

Keep up the great work! You’re truly an inspiration!

Would you let us know what camera you use?

Oh and how does Sam keep coming back to life?

All the guy in here who are Dads have a pretty good idea why it’s not out!

He’s asleep on his feet.

And he’ll STILL have to get up maybe three or four times TONIGHT too.

nice..keeping a eye out for the tut.

You are so funny! Don’t start trying too hard now, but you crack me up! Also, I see all those subtle instances where you use those flares, turning off the camera and more

Hey… Andrew…
Where’d you get your hoody? It’s freakin’ awesome.

Brilliant Vlog, I always find them exciting – even when you do trail off !

Sold all my halloween candy the first week of November for 35 bucks, no joke.

Hi Andrew~
I.m from Korean..

YAY! Toot is up!

Great stuff, thx man! Oh, and greatings from HUNGARY

So glad you decided to do the video blog. I recommend your site at least five times a week and this kind of personal touch just makes it that much more pleasant to visit. I’ve done a lot of work in tutorial production and I am always impressed with your proper ratio of quality:interest:humor. Keep up the great work and thank you so much for all the AE help!

btw – Goonies bit gave me no choice but to post. Well done sir. Well done.

As for your research and cost of Halloween. The excitement a little kid has from going door to door and getting candy from complete strangers is pretty much priceless…..

This was exactly what I wanted out of the Video Blog! Short behind the scenes and on the set clips to go along with discussions and tutorials! Please keep it up for your tutorials! As for the Goonies, that just made my day.

WOW!. Can’t wait for the hats!

Hey Andrew

Well, to add to the hundreds of comments already here…
This was the greatest BlogShow yet! Love the behind the scenes, your usual humor, and even a bonus little short! After just receiving my copy of AE2, it’s great to see you start using these elements in tutorials and in the show. That short was fantastic and hilarious! I’m on my way to watch the tutorial now.
Thanks for everything Andrew.
P.S. Are you sure you used the USPS to ship my AE2? It looks like a gorilla shoved it in my mailbox, pretty much destroying the DVD case. Thankfully, the discs are perfect, and that’s what matters.

The show gets better every time.

[...] Sam VS Sam, a video we featured in our last Blog Show.  The show also included behind the scenes footage and some added [...]

I just have to get this off my mind because…well it’s been nagging me. I’d like to see a video blog from Andrews wife! Call it “Living with Andrew”. Seriously! Andrew is a kick to listen to and watch. But what is it really like to live with a genius like him.

Ahhh! That felt good. I can now get on with more tutorials.

Yes, that’s it. I really like this. It’s very special effect. Andrew Kramer is a professional.
