VIDEO COPILOT BLOG News, Updates, Projects Files & Tips |
|
I’m not one to jump on to new technology or even jump on my bed for that matter but the more I’ve been using Twitter to follow industry news and artist-insights, the more I kinda like it.
Usually I post things to Twitter related to website updates but lately I’ve been considering posting daily news that might be perfect for Twitter. Like how the Video Copilot office was caught in a CRAZY storm and large hail was blasting inside our office door and then I ate a bagel. This is hard-hitting news!
I want to make an effort to post to Twitter all the happenings at Video Copilot and all we need YOU to do is Follow Us! But what’s in it for you? Well I’m glad you asked. Right now we have about 16,000 followers, if we can reach 25,000 followers in the next 2 Weeks from now, I will give away a special downloadable stock-footage/design package with some great stuff, valued at about $25! Plus I won’t Axe you up!
And if we can get to 40,000 followers, I have another surprise waiting…
So what are you waiting for, simply create a free twitter account and then follow us! After all, I have made about 110 free tutorials… what’s one little minute?
How shameless Andrew… guilt-tripping people is just wrong! WRONG!! Oh great, now you’re talking to yourself, this isn’t good. We’re going to talk about this.
We're trying to encourage more thoughtful commenting. Please take a moment to write a meaningful response to this post.
Also remember to read the rules on posting first.























I´ve already follow you since you had like 100 followers
hope you make it and I will look forward on the goodies
I’m following.
I already follow, and am saving up some scrilla to buy the ultimate extreme VC bundle….unless the prize for reaching 25K followers is a bundle…for me.
iam followingggggg
if i wasn’t already following you i’d start following because i know, somewhere deep down in the math, there’s a cheese sandwich.
i don´t have a twitter acount, but iÃm going to create one, just to follow video copilot ONLY jajaja !
Mr Cramer you have “the exclusive”
Great awsome work, big fan of yours from Argentina, Buenos Aires !
I WOULD follow….but I already am. Lol.
But know I wanna know what happens when you get to 40,000 followers. Will you visit each of our houses and personally hand us a copy of Action Essentials 2?
All the free tutorials I hope people honor this request. Great job man keep up the great work!

ME2!!
I’m already follow you sine I saw twitter icon in your website.
im following you just because you are damn good.
Andrew did you just have twitter or have facebook too
cuse i think there some one use your name there you and sam too PLZ i wanna know
I like the guilt-trip idea. I think I will use it more often in my everyday life. This might be the most benificial lesson I have learned (and I’ve watched all the tutorials!) from this site!
-d.
P.S. Andrew, you and your website designer are exceptionally talented gentlemen, but I think you really should design your own smileys for the user posts…
Followed a couple of days ago
Thanks a bunch for your free tuts Andrew! Rock on!
I created a little app Windows Phone 7 app to read the tweets
(it is working on the emulator)
If someone hase a windows Phone 7 I can send to him
I’m following you since you made your Twitter account
I will make a user account tomorrow and then I will follow.
And you should make more funny posts, it cracks me up
Just followed…
<3 following
great tutorials, loving them
and really want to order ActionEssentials 2
yeah, I’m one of the many who already follow… although I notice that Video Copilot isn’t following ME! How’s THAT for a guilt trip?!
(j/k)
Now following I think it’s more than fare after this crazy guy made over 100 tutorials for us…
Thank you Andrew !!! (Actually I JUST FOLLOWED YOU BECAUSE I’M SCARED YOU WILL AXE ME UP!!!
you’re awesome, made a twitter account JUST to follow you
!
is it gonna be a contest or a free pack for everyone
Now Following…. I never used twitter, i just started for videocopilot ^^ hail the master =D
Facebook is better haha. Ive never used twitter
No guilt here pal…I bought most of your products!….Vowed I would not get involved in the whole twitter thing ……but will remain a ardent follower of the site!
I’ve been following ever since you set it up
Hmmm, I’m not so sure how easy it will be to find another 8,500 followers in 2 weeks.
i followed you long time ago … even before you created your account on twitter looool
Let’s see.
I have Optical Flares, Evolution, Riot Gear, Action Essentials, Action Essentials 2 (finally a sequel that is better), Pro Scores, Twitch, Designer Sound Effects, and Film Magic Pro. (also, the people at Red Giant owe you a ton because I have bought a bunch of junk from them because you have it in your tuts) And I’m not even in the business I just like being able to do cool stuff when I’m bored!
So now that you know how bored I am I will gladly follow you on the twitter but the content better be worth the full 13 seconds I spent away from After Effects “following” you. Your not the only one with a rendering of a fake axe!
Nuff Said….
p.s. Thanks for all you give, your generosity is greatly appreciated.
Need to make vc a trending topic.
i will join, through considering first
It’s actually how I know when you post anything new.
Already following, and now re-tweeting your tweet, posting your goal to Facebook and Tumblr (for starters). It’s the least I can do to show my appreciation for all you do for us! You guys ROCK! =)
I never liked twiter, but i followed you just for Support and free Goodies nothing more nothing less.
Oh Yeah C’mon Guyz..time to follow the Greatest aka AK..
I’m following you, man. Actually I’m STALKING!
I follow you! Absolutely! I will follow everywhere! XD For sure!
following from Day 1 andrew
I followed you. Least I could do, you guys have helped me out so much with After Effects <3
-James
stock footage doesn’t matter… i just clicked on follow button.
I deleted my Twitter account fairly shortly after creating it. For about two or three weeks I followed Video Copilot as well as many other interesting and cool people from the industry but it became too time-extensive and tiring to find the very few interesting tweets in the heap of pointless twaddle. I might miss one or two cool or funny piece of info a week now, but I happily accept that in order to be spared all the irrelevant stuff. Because I’ve learned that even intelligent people I highly respect post such utterly unnecessary things on twitter, it’s just a pain.
The only actual purpose for twitter is explained by the grey bloke here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJr8uAqQCBM
Following, but my post is too short (and i can’t think of something more useful, sorry)
Everyone!!! Make 2 accounts instead of just one. So that we can have double power!!!
How about returning the favor and following us back?
ive been following u since u got twitter.
i do like the video sam loya posted on facebook though.
I’m already follow you 2 months ago.
COME ON PEOPLE HELP ME!!! I have 50 accounts made already and counting!!! We need more! MORE!!! AHHHHH FREEBIES FROM VIDEOCOPILOT!!! JK! XD
I’m following you!
I followed you for so long i cannot remember when i joined! lol.
Good luck on reaching 40k. Im sure youll get the 25k with ease.
Dave
On the Follow!
Be sure 2 tell us As much as u can!
The Kramer Followers! A new era has begun!
My mom has no idea who you are, but she now follows you on her twitter account!
And by the end of this week, so will everyone that I pass at work.
I’m surprised no one asked this, but… why exactly ? I mean, it sounds cool but will it really help VC in any way ?
Been following for sometime, i’m sure it won’t take long to reach the target!
I would advise a “Follow Us…” button in the footer of every page of the website (including tutorials), that should help boost followers (see example on my site http://www.safwanonline.co.uk).
You guys should set up a Facebook page too (reach more people) and link the two!
I never really liked Twitter, but for the sake of Video Copilot I created an account and am now following you.
I have a hard time believing you’re even able to keep your thoughts to only 140 characters
Yeah.. ok, I followed you :/
i am the 16,876th follower!!!YES!! everybody join!!
“Alle Registrieren!”
I´m already following you.
I don’t even know what it is. But ok I signed op on tweety and now I’m stalking you, haha.

New follower….#16,945.
Come on slackers….long way to 25,000!
Done as requestet
I’m with Earlack. What exactly is the driving force for this? What happens if you reach those milestones? Does VC really benefit from having a large Twitter following? I mean, other than ego, is there some sort of preferred partner status with benefits or something?
I’m just curious. I’ll happily follow you because I think you have something to say but it would be good to know why you feel you need to reach these numbers.
I am already following you
And how much exactly will Copilot earn from all the followers?!?
i’ve been following u almost 7 months
ha ha we sujjested u to make twitter re-tweet button an year before..but then u would’nt listen….hmm…man…..I have already followed u much much befor…!!
I have all ur stocks n products…..Plez give Opticle flares instead as a freebies…ha ha ha ha !!
Yes,i’m number 17.000 – Following
Kramer you are an absolute crazy freak and I hate Twitter – but guess what – I am in!
I’ve been follow you since a long time thank!!!
I have been following you for a long time. I hope you get enough followers these days
Already I am !!!!!!!!!!
I’m following.
Oh how the mighty have fallen!
You caved in and became a tweaker, I mean a twitterer,
I never thought I would see the day
I followed you long time ago…:) i love your website because its educational and funny..
Some are wondering why we are trying to build our Twitter following… Basically we are launching a new update to the website and we are hoping to make it more interactive and more frequent updates so we want to get the info out to as many people as possible. We don’t get anything special from Twitter or like money or beef jerky, I mean they can’t even figure out how to make money themselves… Let alone beef jerky.
Done. I’m following : )
Now I’m following to
I’m following..I really am…
I’m following like two years now
Now I wont miss a thing!
I’ll always follow you!
Wow almost 1000 new followers, thanks.
Andrew.
I subscribe to your RSS feed, buy your products and visit your forums, but I can’t do the Twitter thing; I just don’t see its worth.
Not a big fan of the whole social networking thing. Sorry.
I have followed you ever since I knew you had Twitter
Do you follow back?! Haha I’ve been following for a while now
Hey, wait for me.
Nice to hear that it’s bumped up a lot
And don’t worry about the beef jerky, you can find a texture somewhere and do it in 3ds Max.
I´ve already follow you master…
It’s crazy that twitter is unavailable in China! I really want to follow you!!!
I followed you….and I might even stalk you if the treat is good enough…;)
I’ll follow you if you follow me.

Hi Andrew,
I’ll follow you if you follow me.
“Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.”

http://www.twitter.com/vjloops
Yep, but…I hate the people who use Twitter like a chat.
@Aegis, no worries man, your support is greatly appreciated and we hope to have more useful RSS feeds on our new site as well!
Andrew, you underestimate your fans!
I’ll follow you on twitter without any of “special prises” for it. I’ll follow you just ’cause you cool. That it.
Excuse my engRish, that not my native language.
Coming…..
…moo
…moo
Mr Andrew,
I guess I don’t need Twitter or Facebook to be updated, coz Videocopilot is my starter page, I know everything up to date directly..
cheers
Andrew,
I’m disappointed.
Twitter is so lame.
i followed you
btw i just found videocopilotblogshow channel in youtube
is that your own channel?
Now following…do I get beef jerky for following?
Glad to hear there will be more updates
I gave you guys a shout out on Twitter last night
nice idea, it can get a bit lonely while waiting for a blog update or new tutorial, one might get worried and think something bad might have happened . . . like you ran out of bagels . . . . or pepsi
Been following you for a long time, anxious to see what new stuff you’re talking about with the downloads!
I was following you since you joined Twitter. By the way, is this Sam’s twitter id? http://twitter.com/samloya ?
Of course i’ll follow you! I didn’t even realize you had twitter!
lol
And hey, it looks like you’ll have to give away some free stuff
But i guess that 40.000 followers “achievement” is still a secret? lol
And hey, i got all you products bought too, and i’m subscribed to your RSS Feed as well. Anything else i can do to help both of us?
What up Andrew,
Just wanted to give a suggestion. Perhaps you could try your hand at podcasting. CreativeCow tutorials are amazing and podcasting gives another route to access their tutorials.
Well, I did see that coming Andrew but I never thought that VC would be the reason that I actually registered at twitter!
I expect updates every 10 minutes now.
Don’t let me down!
follow.
40k Follower 50% Price cut

Just Kidding

Mr. Krammer,
You have a follower here in Philadelphia, PA!

I just tweeted:
“AFTER EFFECTS | Follow @videocopilot and help make them reach 25,000 followers for a free stock footage package! http://tinyurl.com/3ad8rru”
Hope that gets you a few!
Screw twitter?
How about getting some bloody MODERATORS to clear your forum, I posted 4 post over 9days ago and they are STILL not visible!!
Instead of self advertising and promotion why not take care of your EXISTING fans.
It wasn’t my favorite band or actor… it was Video Co-Pilot that made me join Twitter!
@ Norman
Same here. Lol.
i’m following…
Done and Done sir! We are now following you on Twitter! :0)
For freebies, I will gladly do it…just kidd’n

I laughed so hard on your 1st comment, Andrew
So what if he can make money off twitter and such ?
If I wish to somebody to become a Millionaire its gonna be Me then you! xD
I hope you’re happy Andrew, I have finally conformed and I’m now a hipster faithfully following VideoCopilot.net on Twitter… It was the guilt trip, plus the sweet downloadable incentive. Thanks.

And the guilt trip worked! I am CREATING an Account AND FOLLOWING. I owe it to you just for all what I’ve learned with VideoCopilot (For Free & Paying…)

COME ON GUYS!!! Let’s do this thing…
its too slow… Speed it up to 25k followers!!
we can’t stop now….
COMMON! He’s RIGHT!…oh and i wonder if Andrew could show us his work space on one of the…shows that would be cool… BUT WE NEED 25K PEoplES!
better yet… 40k… let’s think ahead …
ok.. first 25k but then —> 40k peoples
im doing what i can do get this number higher….
it seems stuck at 18k : /
Hm, nice try… but it stuck since 2 days…
YOU KNOW WHAT PEOPLE? We need to organize!!! Now, here is what we need to do! EVERYONE POST IN ALL THE MAYOR AFTER EFFECTS AND DESIGN SITES THAT VIDEOCOPILOT IS GIVING AWAY GIFTS FOR 40K FOLLOWERS!!! That’s what we need!
Post it in FILMRIOT! Post it in AETUTS! Post it in GREYSCALE GORILLA! Post it in MOGRAPH TV (facebook)! POST IT IN EVERY SINGLE VIDEO THAT APPEARS WHEN YOU SEARCH FOR MOST VIEWED VIDEO WITH THE TAG AFTER EFFECTS IN YOUTUBE!!! Post it in VIMEO!!! EVERYWHERE!!! That’s what we need! Spread the word and make this viral! Hopefully AK will give us all the new plug in ATOM!!! Don’t know what it is but I want it!!! XD
Have you ever thought of a Facebook page for Videocopilot?
i know alot of companies have these and you can run competitions and anything you want from them.
Just an idea
hi andrew i love you . i am amator after effecter . good nice .
Wooooooww… just like the fellowship of the Followers in the movie The Lord of VC!!! lol…
I’m following you!
there must be more than 40.000 users who come to this website… why they dont help us NOW?
Let’s disclose this to everyone!
PS: sorry for bad english..Greetings from Brazil here!
I’d follow you to the depths of hell…
But let’s say that following you on Twitter is good enough.
Greetings from Finland!
I follow or great one,lol
We are running out of time… : / almost there though..
Come on Andrew. You couldn’t say ANYTHING in 250 characters or less…
19,380 followers —- one week to go!!
Hint: Andrew, maybe if you gave out a free “action essentials 2″ or “optical flares” plug in to one (the chosen one) of your followers it will go up to 40,000 or more. Thoughts?
I got my self to follow u on twitter about 3-4 days ago I now got five of my friends to join as well. Rock on!
we´re stuck on 19,419 come on everyone…
in this way we will never reach 25,000 neither 40,000!!!
Do your best ;D
Hello,how are you? muh du shu kel humma duy:)
following you where ever you go….
We are always stuck at a number until we get to 25k, what can we do to promote the site. Any ideas?
i made a twitter account so to follow the video copilot tweets. mildly excited by the free cool things, and also just really enjoy the free tuts. thanks for all the choice info.
following DONE!
Come on, Andrew, come on
Twitter is not good for Video Copilot Guys
Just “www.videocopilot.net”

now i have a reason to create a twitter account.
Andrew….Following u man…your work and humor sense are awesome…jajaja take care
I’m following because I’m lost.
No post since the 3rd? What did I sign up for. My wife speaks to me more than this…
Ive never used twitter but i registered just to follow you! That’s the least me and all your fans can do. Right, guys?
Come on guys! He’s going to release free stuff and it only requires on push of a button.. Keep clicking that follow button!
Andrew has really motivated me with regards to video production. I’m really glad I got to know you exist.
Thanks.
i always follow…^^
I agree with MrMaCHO. You told us that you would update every day?
Andrew i think we need a little more time.
I don’t twitter, but if I did… I’d follow yours. I’m a huge fan!
maybe I’ll just circle the little birdies and LOOK like I’m following…. (goes into lurk mode)
I think that if there are no updates everyday…
less people will follow him on Twitter.
But if more people follow him.. he will update everyday…
what are we going to do? :S
