Haha. Throw the camera at the axe, or Axe and Camera at a person that’s wearing an Axe Deodorant!

that would be an awesome tutorial it would be even cooler if you could do a tutorial on you throwing the axe at sam
or maybe just really doing it
jk

Throwing the camera to the axe??? Doesn’t sound like a good idea to me haha, but enjoy throwing axes to each other!
(Or something…)

This will be fun !
Andrew please don’t hurt Sam too much.

thanks alex you posted a comment like .5 seconds before me

now I have to wait all day everyday tile the next post is up

Hi Andrew,
maybe you can come up with a tutorial on how to slice bread or even someone´s head off^^

Geetings from Germany

You could throw an AXE to an AXE!!! but you’ll need a second axe. Mmmm maybe clonning the axe?! Wouldn’t be awesome to have AE options in the real world? Hahahaha!

“or even throw a camera at the axe” LOL

haha! great update Andrew! your cool jokes always make me laughing! :D:D

Greetings from Czech!

I love Axe Deodorant. How else can I detect a dirtbag from a mile away?

OR………………….You can take a 1080 shot of the axe before you throw it (at Sam, Michael Bay or JJ Abrams…wait I forgot, those are your meal tickets) and use 3DS Max to make a 3D version of the axe, put it in AE, call up Particular…..I’m sure you smell what the Rock is cooking!!!!!

I can picture something with magic involved since that would be a new spin on things. Maybe the axe possesses magic and causes Sam to finally flip out and go Jason on some foos. haha

As long as this involves Sam and some 3D, I’m happy LMAO!

Hehe. I smell Sam getting hurt. Bad.

I hope Sam doesn’t get hurt.

This would be a great opportunity for some dismemberment. With the edition of 3ds Max.

axe a can of axe.

I love the old spice commercials… If you want to know more about the company that made it go to http://www.wk.com It’s by far my favorite production house and they are located in Portland Oregon and they happen to be in my back yard. Andrew Kramer is awesome too now everybody lets go eat some cheese!

Could you also demonstrate something where you have the axe or a knife of some sort get thrown into a wall with some one standing precariously close to the impact? Then you can spice it up with some time remapping or something You could show how to make the object twitch in the wall after the impact. Also I don’t know exactly how much you can do in After Effects regarding sound and sound effects but I feel that sound is an essential part to any video and if you could elaborate on that sometime that would be awesome.
John Wildauer

How about you go to pick up the ax and throw it but you grab Sam and toss him instead. Then you could go to shake hands with the axe because of the great throw you just did and lose a finger…..

God, I need a life.

Big trouble in little china comes to mind where kurt Russell has a knife thrown at him then catches and throws it back straight into the bad guys head. you could do a parody. lol

I vote for dismemberment. Or disembowelment. Or some sort of ment.

OR….Have Sam dress up like a Viking, give him the axe and throw him in a scene from World of Warcraft, going after those dang Mr T Knight Elf Mohawks…….

Andrew’s face is just Funnie! LOL.

I think Sam is long overdue for some extreme dismemberment…you know, in after effects.

“Maybe we can throw the axe at the camera or even throw a camera at the axe, I don’t know!!”
I totally LOL’d.

This idea sounds like a lot of fun. Hopefully it won’t take long. Or you can shorten the wait with a Blog Show about it. You know, with some outtakes, where the axe is actually flying towards… Oh, poor Sam.

Maybe you throw the axe into Sam’s head! Whatever you do, I know is gonna be awesome!

I vote on making a parody of some of the Axe Deodorant commercials. Maybe have some good looking girls (if that can be arranged) axe Sam to death.. I mean a make over.

Decapitation!
Sorry Sam.

Challenge!

Running out of ideas? how about making a Hollywood catastrophic scene? like you see in the movies! Using this image:

http://www.ballslist.com/travel/la/hollywood.jpg

Here are some examples:

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=5026513&l=4ac709ff34&id=740817676

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=5026510&l=40302997ba&id=740817676

Why do i get a feeling that Sam will die again

I suggest getting another weapon, perhaps some pieces of armor and nice outfits so you and Sam could dress up as knights and have an epic battle!
Ofcourse dismembered limbs and decapitations would have to be included.

If you need anymore weapons I have a few lying around swords, axes, maces and even a polearm. I live near a forest which would be an ideal location! just give me a shout Andrew!

Andrew i think u whana kille sam lol .

Here is what you can do with an Axe, Action Essentials 2, and After Effects! Clip from our feature vampire flick, this file has been refined since this render. Nevertheless, here is the link:

http://www.vimeo.com/14435916

You know what they say about men with short axes!
Have fun!

hey Andrew,
you could fix the axe to a table. And through Sam onto it. If you polish your floor well, you could even make it look like an accident, like: yo check out this cool axe I…ooopsss.

I sure you can do this without hurting Sam. Like Throwing the axe into Sams Chest which makes him slide into a wall…

Oh wait

Last I saw Sam, he was off running black ops missions, destroying terrorists and rescuing hostages with his barbwire cutting knife and exploding arrows. You can’t just call him up… He’s got important things to do, like exploding things. Besides, I bet he’s already got one of those axes, under his pillow.

Throwing the axe, could make for some interesting planar tracking fun. Woohoo! Tracking! Doesn’t that sound like a good time?

Sorry. Posting again, already.

It occurs to me that an axe is a perfect zombie crushing weapon. Several years ago I watched a “making of” Terminator 3 and thought the scenes with Arnolds face, painted chroma green, looked fun to play with. Might be fun to do some chroma work like that, where chunks of zombie flesh get chopped off. Just a thought.

Judging from the picture, Andrew has been up to no good today.

Or…..or….. you can throw sam at the camera with the axe in his head.oh and please make it look like an accident…or not….

http://img834.imageshack.us/f/samloya.jpg/

RIP Sam Loya..

You can make it a slow motion axe swinging at us as in the new Resident Evil 4 3D movie trailer

After the Directing Mallet, now comes the Acting Axe ! Sounds cool.

But I hope you’re not forgetting that screen cap of SAM in a SWAT-like uniform, mmm ? I mean, there are a few cool ideas you mentioned and we never heard of them anymore…

I’d throw an Andrew Kramer at the camera.

Maybe you could have some sort of Horror themed tutorial…

You should ride into the hills of Mordor and battle orcs whilst listening to Blind Guardian.

You should do a “Double Pits to Chesty”.

we dont knw wat will u do with the AXE
but we knw it will be awesome

Dude thanks for sharing that AD – very funny!
and i’m so excited: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1cwt3_pointer-sisters-im-so-excited_music

Sam’s finally being given the axe! lol

Phil

Stereoscopic 3D teaser?

You should put a tutorial up on how to make a BLT sandwich.
Then you could slice it with the axe.

i think u should make a tornado skill with the axe. like DotA. it s very cool effect.

oh, u can also throw the axe to sb in slow motion. wow, that will be great.

I’m your student. I live in Mongolia.

http://vimeo.com/14110186

hahahaha! Can’t wait to see Sam…. Nice Blog AK!

Hey Andrew! I’m not sure if this video has already been posted on here or not, but it would be cool to see somewhere because it took me a while to find it.

http://www.motionworks.com.au/2010/07/unplugged-27/#more-7609

I guess this is the new axe effect. Or one of the after effects…

All my axes live in Texas.

Find another 2 and juggle with them!

I’m so stoked! Your tutorials are the best!

You should totally make a huge particle system of CG dwarf-battle axes and launch them at a tank… full of pizza pockets, for good measure. I can see it now…

How about dressing Sam as character from 300. Choreograph a fight scene and you’re good to go.

P.S: Don’t forget to paint those fake abs on Sam

I’m looking forward to see the camera trhowing tutorial!!! hahahaha

hey Andrew do you know the axe money ? its my new creation… i made a cool video showing the power of axe money .. its on facebook here is the link http://www.facebook.com/pages/Avez-vous-deja-choft/149158555109837?ref=ts#!/pages/Avez-vous-deja-choft/149158555109837?ref=ts

oh by the way that video called la theory du chaos it means the theory of chaos in french

great tool in the editing suite for pesky clients;-)

Ok, I couldn’t decide so I’ll list them both:

(to Sam)”When I say cut, I mean CUT!!!”

“The razor cut tool in CS5 is MUCH more powerful”

I wonder if Sam going to get killed..again…Well, my dear Sam Loya you did get through a lot… Electrified, passed through a window, Tried suicide, rammed by a car, bot disintegrated, Had bugs under skins.. MAN.. I wonder what will happen to you this time..

Reminds me of the scene in “Machete” where Danny Trejo throws a machete past the camera

you may throw the whole video copilot things looooool … not only camera .. even sam loooool

LoL..wow could you do something like Kill Bill

Throw the Axe to Sam andrew its October soon, time for another Halloween video tutorial! Cut him in half lol!

Now there’s a picture I like! Can’t wait to see what you have in store

Hi Andrew and Dear Sam.
Thanks for This work it’s veryGood and if you can Andrew
Please make tutorial for that and in the tutorial Say good joke for us. (Thank you)

at Last:
I am worry for Sam.
I think you are finally Kill the Sam…
I am Sorry Sam Ican’t help you.

Oh,I am Just Kidding
I am Mehran Aghramazani from Iran/Sanandaj.

chop sam´s head of!!!

Haha, that face! This looks interesting and sounds interesting, should be another cracking tutorial.

Please See Resident Evil: After Life (Trailer), for get some ideas to kill sam! lol

I love you Andrew
I am Edris Mohammadi from Iran, Kurdestan, Sanandaj.

Mmmmhyeaaah… ! Just one question : When you say “we can throw the axe at the camera” is it like a subliminal message ?! I mean, you should say “I, Andrew Kramer,am gonna throw the axe at Sam !”

So the second possibility may be a little tricky… I let you guess why ^^

maybe you could do somthing on chopping off limbs, that be cool

You Should Walk Around With it…

hi sir i think it will be fun to see the tutorials on “Axe and agin sam will have to face the funny shots

Sam have died so many times in Yr tuts:) maybe this time U will use axe against… wood:) U know, chop the wood whit the throwing out particles, maybe some sparks from axe when it hits a metal…

Best wishes Andrzej (Andrzej is Andrew in Polish:) )

Xd really cool i will try it in my cheken

You look like Edward Notorn on this picture

Two axes clashing on each other, Andrew vs Sam, round 1, FIGHT!

man u r axe smells good! :p

haha poor Sam or Andrew
I hope you make a great tut..

Sorry my english bad
Greeting from mongolia

hahahahaha

I love your humor Andrew! Would be nice to see some stabbing effects or something ..

Nice one! Check the axe throwing in the ‘Haven can wait’ video from Beck, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3MomC_nZsM

Cheers, Niels

Andrew, you must be busy with other things because lately, I’ve noticed a decrease in your composting, color-wise. I know you are addicted to curves but the blood in the picture…. doesn’t look like your composting work. Just looks like a quick overlay with no color correction and no match to the rest of the picture. I’ve seen you do much better in past tutorials.

Make a slow-motion axe throw to the camera

Make an anti-commercial against Axe(Deodorant), maybe by slicing it or make Sam the Company’s boss and “Axe” him a question if you know what i mean…

You should do a stereoscopic 3d axe throw at the camera!!!

Nice, I was thinking that sam maybe chopped or he’s chopping someone as seen in your featured picture. But whatever your thinking of doing, I bet its going to be AWESOME!!

throw the camera at my house!
or my studio I wont mind at all…

Kramer! You look like a psycho, cool.

Andrew is finally ready for the zombie apocalypse.

LOL! You’re right! ”Axe,, trilogy is ready?

bla bla drools *falls overself* make a tutorial! bla bla…yea great!

Yea please .. Throw the camera at the AXE not the AXE at the camera ..

You could attach snakes to Sam’s head and make him Sam-dusa, then of course chop it off, only after he turns somebody to stone

I know! You’re gonna do a sandwich, ain’t you? I mean, a Sam-dwich perhaps?

Yeah, throw some axes, cut heads, hands, destroy everything, we wanna see blood everywhere, interiors down the ground and little pieces of brain on the camera or, better, an eye.

)

Hey !
u have a axe it’s OK ,but who’s blood is THIS …?
DID U KILL SAM ?

I think you should do a video of Sam getting an arm or a leg chopped off. I read somewhere above someone suggesting using 3ds max. I think this is a great opportunity to do a tutorials showing the integration of 3d cg back into live action realistically.

hahahahaha crazy!! ^^

great idea for a Stereoscopic 3D tutorial in after effects, throwing the axe to the camera rocks!!!

u rock
http://www.r2pctech.tk

i have made some intros…..4 evreyone

hi sir andrew kramer…im new to your site, by the way im rudolph from philippines…i saw your tutorials over the net and i really admire your works…everything is awesome…just writing to let you know that im becoming a great fan of you…hahahaha…i really wanted to learn things like after effects though im an engineering student…i really like it..

You should throw both of them, but with the anchor point of the camera linked to the Axe and the Axe linked to Sam who’s running really scared all the time.

(just a bad joke )

How about the V for Vendetta “knife-throwing-cycling-through-the-air-leaving-matrix-like-streaks” effect?

Andrew Kramer an axe murderer?! Hmmmm… dunno.

Sounds like fun….just “axe” anybody around here…;)

Hey Andrew looks like fun, but can I axe you why no blog shows lately? They are great fun to watch, please do some new blog shows,
We don’t care what their about just make something and put it on the blog show!

hey andrew looking like great warrior of this era

Andrew Go Get a Hair Cut… lol

OH God….! Sammm

Hey Andrew, maibe you need to call Sam to make another video and then call it, the revenge of the Axe, and finish with the body spray like the picture. LOL.

Throw an axe in slow-mo at Sam and have it cut off Sam’s head or limb

Isn’t that the kind of axe for people that are too lazy to turn in over?

that is a resident evil scene jajaja

Do double pits to chesty with the axe to sam

FYI
the making off

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDk9jjdiXJQ

I should’ve used that effect in my horror movie…

http://vimeo.com/14447548

Kramer you rule

You should destroy an bottle of axe body spray with a real axe. Have Sam steal the bottle from some one and then they catch him and destroy it!!

@Arnold Yeah, the Kill Bill axe throw would be a cool one to recreate!

tutorial!!!
plz
it so beautifulll!

you are the man!!

..but the REAL question is:

Does a producers axe outrank the directors hammer?

Throw the camera and the axe at sam =)

you gonna have you own DEADLIEST WARRIOR style tutorials,would be fun to do some cool moves.

By Grabthar’s axe… by the Sons of Warvan… you shall be… avenged

Old Spice: Responses Case Study

http://creativity-online.com/work/old-spice-responses-case-study/20896

Hey!

Is it going to be something like this?

http://smallvfxblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/axe_15.html

Andrew, quit ax in peddler pizza, or in cam. =)

N!CE Andrew you are Great 1!

Have you been watching a lot of vikings movies lately??…..Or Maybe it’s that asterix and obelix cartoon.
Actually I used watch that a lot when I was a kid.

Anyways it would be nice to see a new tutorial or short movie you would make. I actually wish to see you some day with a full featured film in grand cinemas….Which actually very possible in your case….oh!! and SAM of course. that guy deserves to be on the big screen. Maybe then I would have the opportunity to work with you….who knows.

whatever it will be with full of knowledge and fun..;)

Very impressive guys! I’m continually amazed at what you guys are doing.and Andrew please don’t hurt Sam too much.

Please Andrew, can we see a tutorial of somebody’s arms/legs/ head being cut off with lots of blood flying about.. As seen in the TV show “Spartacus”? Thanks

I tutorial how to make cuts and blood like spartacus:blood and sand would be nice. xD

Master you look great

this is gr8 keep up the the good work

hahaha,andrew…the smile is where it supposed to be ^_^

Hey Andrew, The Axe throwing sounds interesting….but I have to say, the link to the deodorant comercial..haha..I live in the UK so have never seen that Ad before..did you have anything to do with it?? It’s so clever…

Lovin the link to the old spice advert…pure genius!

ohhhhh! Youuuu Sooo Beatyyyyy *-*
