EXCELENT!!! VERY NICE ANDREW!!
THE NUMBER ONE… VIDEOCOPILOT

Oddly enough I was thinking about underwater explosions today while I was swimming. This is so exciting to see! Thanks Andrew!

Well this is something diferent, i wasnt thinking about underwater explosions instead i was thinking of like a superhero special tutorial where u put together like 5 tutorial clips, ten mins each and quickly explain how to do like a superhero power, like, flying, running fast, get super strong and green, turn urself into a mini tornado and change clothes…(The Mask) some crazy new but most importantly original stuff. buttt i guess this is pretty cool too lol thanks andrew.

Can’t wait for this tutorial!

Oh that’s cool. I look forward to what you come up with

I am gonna see if I can figure this out before the tutorial. That is an Interesting thought. Well my wife has been asking for a new bath tub hmmmm. I wonder! :p

Awesome… Andrew go for it.
Colombia is waiting.

I hope you could show it for Cinema 4D.
Please!

Nice!!!! waiting for the tutorial ! haaha you are the best!

Ok Andrew, go for it, meanwhile: when can we have nice “underwater bullets?” I mean the kind of “tracing bubbles” underwate bullets”.

thanks in advance.

PD Also from Colombia

Cool!! Can’t wait for this tutorial!!

well its nice to come after work through all night to see something new coming in vc.

there is a scene sample in max DVD about submarine explosion as it hit a mine … interesting to watch.

i hope the engine fans keep on rotating as you animate them with some sort of marine life thrown around.
i like to see how you handle the bubles of air as they emerge to surface interacting to each other.

will you consider pf, thinking particles for derbies?

your creativity is only limited by your imagination and google search

have nice day. to you and your wife… also the kids

Andrew wots ur new and upcomin product, wots next optical flares is gr8 i think its tha best 2 date

Your the man Andrew! lol, Can’t wait to see what else you come up with

This is a really interesting idea, looking forward to seeing the results!

With so much rain that we have gotten in Sweden the past days this is just perfect. Something to dive into in other words

Thx looking farward to it

@Ramel why dont you try it yourself? Trust me I think it is more fun to try and figure stuff out then have someone else tell you how its done.

Excellent work

You`ve been inspared by 3d max sample file?

if you are on that sub then you have to check this out.

Wow!! Now that shows how a man loves his job. You spent your time ‘over the weekend’ thinking about how underwater implosions work..:)
Simply Wow!!

this post led me on to the article and the article let me on to discovery.com’s video site wich let me on to this very interesting video totally offtopic

http://videos.howstuffworks.com/science/10-ways-the-world-will-end-videos-playlist.htm#video-30693

Tutorial please!

VIDEOCOPILOT FTW!

cool!!! cant w8 4 that,,!

http://videos.howstuffworks.com/science/10-ways-the-world-will-end-videos-playlist.htm

*link fixed this shows all 10 clips the other started midway

you are the best (Andrew Kramer)

Ahhh… underwater explosions are cool, just like Nuclear underwater explosions. ;D

This is so cool, Andrew. I can’t wait for the tutorial. Video Copilot ROCKS! http://www.videocopilot.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/sub_process.jpg

is that barrels surrounding the submarine?? or it are bullets shells?

YOU NEED SOME BUBBLES ANDREW…

It looks too good for an underwater scene

very very very nice ….. !

remember the distorted sun light hitting the sub

@Ramel , that’s pretty basic stuff…

Hey Andrew,

What site did you visit to buy this model?

A hand grenade explosion you can survive on land, if you lay flat on the floor. Major injury or fatal injuries are not excluded but it is possible. It depends on the handgranatentyp.

Joe

There is a project called future warrior. With the protection of this “future” soldier you have a 80 percent chance to survive! Welcome to the future. With armor-piercing hand grenades, there will be problems.

Here you can see him: The future warrior in civil dress… http://www.sublimeoblivion.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/future-soldier.jpg and here the combat version: http://www.enciclopedia.com.pt/images/th_0607mae_n02_02yyuy.jpg

Andrew

there is alot of bubbles maybe

mmm heavy sounds

alot of mess

Will Sam some how be part of this? We love Sam!

Really nice one…Is there going to be a tutorial for that??

Sink Sup Pro for the win!

This looks cool.
Andrew, do you buy your models from TurboSquid?
If so, there is a FREE Terminator model that you can download and use anywhere you want. It’s very detailed, renders very fast in Mental Ray (there’s also a VRay version, but it takes forever to render…and there’s almost no difference between Mental Ray and VRay). It’s perfectly rigged (all the pumps, nozzles and hydraulics are animated) and ready to animate!
Here’s my render:

I think you should add the “crimson tide” theme ^^
Some submarine drive-bys and letting it arise from the stormy sea – how epic
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBTIoL5vaOM

Pls, also cinema 4d for the macusers

What’s wrong with Blender? Blender is FREE and for some of us, the only way to go!

Phil L.

Where’d you get the 3D model? Just curious.

And, Phil, there’s nothing wrong with Blender. It does awesome work. I use it myself… it’s just super complicated.

this looks awesome:D

SERIOUSLY?????? can’t make any movies at all anymore without copying you!!! You shouldn’t make tutorials for these cool effects, soon we will run out of them, and then every 10 year old on youtube will be doing the effects which were excellent and original just a few years back -.-

i want learn affter effect. i am Indian (Punjabi) i have basic knowledge of 3d max, photoshop cs3. i want be creative
sir pls tell me i really like ur tutorials u r my ideal in affter effect. i try to copy u but i have not basically full knowledge… thanx sir

Ahhh yaaa. Imploding sub. 3max & AE combo tut!!!!

And ya, find a way to get Sam in there.

Thanks Andrew, in case nobody has told you lately; you’re the man.

Ahh Crap. I thought you were gonna show us how to make that 3d model, but then I read that you had bought it!

I think you should continue sharing your ideas and tutorials this help inspire others and also improve on their ideas that they might have….
I think this is one of the best site i have seeing..Great job Andrew….

Very nice idea. I wonder how you’re gonna manage to create refractions arround bubbles which are not just small spheres since an underwater explosion causes huge air vacuums.

and also to add since i started view this website i never realize that after effect could do these things i have used 3d max and sketchup but using after effects along with these software has help out….

This is gonna be AWESOME!

Andrew—-This is going to be DOPE! Already know it…shaking in my boots…..

@Tarrizz

If Andrew Kramer didn’t make effects tutorials then there wouldn’t be much of a Video Copilot.

If people aren’t creative enough to make up their own ideas or be inspired by one of Andrew’s tutorials without copying it, then that’s their problem.

can’t wait………..

Andrew!!!! I’d like to thank you because you share your knowledge to all your “fans”! We have a lot of fun working from your tutorials. Well, can you tell me something about videomapping projection on buildings, dimensions or something that i can do from After Effects?
Dimensions and pixels are something i worry about when i project them…
Thank’s!

This looks awesome!

@Sukhdeep Singh watch the basic tutorials on this site, they will help you understand the basics of After Effects.

I just find it astounding that there are some of you who actually whine like spoilt brats when a new tutorial is announced. They are free, they are wonderful, and a privilege, not a right.

So just say thank you. Please.

guys for those of you looking for 3d models go to
http://www.turbosquid.com they have many stuff for free max and c4d.

Wouououuuou Very Cool, God Bless A.

best submarine movie at the end you see the implosion kinda scary.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmbWMBrSplY

is video copilot will make more tutorials including 3D integration from others softwares? it can be nice.

I Found the relating article on “how a swimming pool works” most englightening.

[url]http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8569953.stm[url]

X-Slo-Motion shockwave, definitely worth a look.

We all live in yellow submarine

Kramer, just an idea: you can add some particles to the water simulating the Plankton.

Hey adrew make a tutorial for harry potter duel like in harry potter and the deathly hallows trailer ending.
It would be cool.

Greeting from Latvia.

I don’t speak English but I understand perfectly
thanks men ¡¡

Haha. Love the screen shot.

Andrew you are the best.

cant wait for the tutorial

cool can’t wait for the tutorial

assuming there is a project file, will the submarine model be included?, is the license approve giving it free to others for learning purpose so the the model will be included or we prepare our self for box modeling and texturing?

you are the man Andrew… and yes i finish night duty , went home and checked your blog

Hi Andrew.

This will be exciting! Can’t wait to see what you get up to.

I have to say, sometimes I wonder if poor Andrew doesn’t get frustrated by some people, he must be a very patient man.

Top work man, I hope that some of us inspire you to keep doing this!

I’ve actually spend my weekend thinking about explosions in outer space, but I guess underwater is pretty cool too.

Ey kramer why you buy the models?¿?¿ . i can sell you some models for a symbolic price you know to help you as you help us dew ..

Andrew eres el mejor, es España, decimos que eres “EL PUTO AMO”

Andrew you are the best, in Spain say you are the fucking master.

Gracias por tus tutoriales.

Thank you for your tutorials.

Andrew,i think you can use some tecniques from the ”animating a still” tutorial of your own.Like the clouds moves in the air,you can divide some part of the image,by using and animating it for some quite impressive explosion(or implosion) into the deep of abyss.Of course the detail part belongs to you as usual,but maybe some bubbles can come from particular plugin,you know what i mean truly,i am pretty sure you got it right.Then combining some tecniques can come in handy if you haven’t figured it out ”these” yet about this tutorial.But if the aim is to use more creatative and ”not-yet used” tecniques in this tutorial,i am not a visual effect supervisor like you,then i have to wait and see,hope you will be successful in this tutorial,it is nothing that you can’t challenge by your own,but tnx for sharing and (maybe) asking for our ideas.

I posted the new tutorial of making 3D videos. in Aetutplus.

Are those bullet shells? Wow, you really *did* find use for action essentials lol

I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU ANDREW SO MUCH AND UR CREW

Awesome! really looking forward to this one!

Yeah, I was testing with two years ago, but but I made shit, for sure now you will find the right way !!!!

You are da man Andrew !!!

Thanks for all the stuff you publish.

Down Periscope

GReat ! give it a move! XD

Awesome… Great Job once again. And hurry with the tutorial

nice… Andrew greatest teacher

HEY I AM OMAR AND I STARTED AFTER EFFCT IN 2010
AND WHEN I SAW UR TUTORIALS I AM NOW PROFISINAL
THAX ANDRO

thanks man you are the best . thanks for the knowledge you giving us I want to get the action essential 2 but don’t know how am in LIBERIA

I think i have it figured out- use time remapping to make a Charge in the Action Essentials 2 kit about 25% longer. Then, turn pixel motion on in frame blending and when it plays, it looks like a really cool bubbly, underwater explosion.

HI TANK YOU FOR NEW TUTORIAL IS VERY NICE

Can’t wait for the tutorial AK … you ROCK !!!

Hai andrew I have a question do u have a 3d scanner ?.. or do u model that sub by yourself .. ? its really great.. ow andrew can u explain how to build a tornado in fluid effects in max 3d or maya ?, or ghost effects because in the movie paranomal activity the effects where very cheap, but great can u maybe do something with sam like a ghost story or something … or effects like the jumper ?.. anyway u’r the best effects artist ever mr kramer ..

ow mr andrew I have a other question I found a movie on matte painting on youtube and the question is how can u do a matte painting.. like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tUVZJ4qqpY&feature=related.. can u watch this movie clip on matte painting and explain me how they do the first movie clip that the camera moving trow the
mountains.. because I don’t know if it is cgi or is it just a picture.. hope u can help me explain this thanks alot andrew..

Actually I was just thinking about this the other day myself, as I watched a scene from The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. In the WWII chapter, when the captain rams their boat into the submarine that is firing on them, there is an INCREDIBLE underwater explosion. It was so fascinating to me that every time I see that scene, I have to rewind and go through that vfx shot frame by frame. It’s probably the best simulation of an underwater explosion/implosion I’ve seen on film.

Hi Andrew love your stuff keep them coming. How about a tutorial on bullets going through water kind of like what happened in the bridge scene in The Italian Job.
Need to work that one out for a scene I’m trying to pull off in my film.
Maybe dump Sam into a river with a wet suit get him to swim around a little and start shooting at him.
I pay bucks to see that.
Sam’s cool He needs to get an agent.

looks great. . i can’t to see this tutorial. . xD

also a good visual reference for underwater ex”im”plosions is the movie U-571… its got some great underwater shots!!!

Thanks for the new tutorial. I have looked your stuff up and it has helped me in my filming. You are the best. Thanks for allll of your help

I was just wondering, AK, whether the propellers of the sub is gonna spin in the final cut. And would it be AE or 3DS MAX you will be using to achieve the effect if you would make them spin.

great Andrew,
always we expect only good things from you, you are my a Hero of effects
I have question, why you don’t integrate Maya with you lessons ?

Already made a mock up of my own, not as good but its a first for me..

check it out, comment rate sub

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2fWxE2BVW8

Yo Andrew when are you going to bring us this tutorial we are all waiting its been 10 days and i come here each day and see if the tut is up anyway just please don’t take another ten days cant wait.
Keep Up The Good Work As You Always Do.

And the weird think was that only a day before you posted this we was talking with a friend about implosions how they look like they are breathing and getting larger than they go like BOOOOM! Just was thinking of taking some dry ice and throwing it on the pool a pretty big one EXPLOSIONS IMPLOSIONS ARE JUST BEAUTIFUL.
As long your not close to them:P

good job! Andrew it legeng! =) and very much jest

good job andrew. you always do great things. congratulations

Hi Andrew, You’re my vfx rollmodel and your tut are pretty nice and never seen before here. I am a 3d artist and I can work well with texturing and lighting too. If you like then I can help you in this tut….

Have a nice day….

Me love it,cool! man

looks great. as always

excellent, i’m working on a project with a few underwater shots. i’m still an amateur AE user so seeing how you do those light streaks coming down will be very useful.

thanks dude, you rock!
