That’s a great solution. The glowing impact really adds that molten steel look. Gracias!

Greetings from Argentina Catamarca

Look’s amazing as usual Andrew! Superb work!

Vraiment très classe !
Les français te remercient pour tout ce que tu fais

You make me feel I have to use AE again, this so great!!!

Hey andrew, how did you make the floor looks glassy? Your reply is much appreciated! Thanks..

Andrew, could you specifically do a tutorial for this effect?
Thanx!

Just amazing! Thank you.

That was epicly awesome!! Wait, is epicly a word?? OK, it is now.

Awesome tutorial…It was epic…

Thank u so much ^_^

Hope someday u’ll have time to teach us boque effect ^_^

Thanks for everything you’ve done Andrew, you’re my basic formation on after effects, here’s a video I’d like to dedicate for you, I got lot of VC presets like Optical Flares, and Film magic Pro.
Hope you like it ! And love all your tuts
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEwBQFg0e9o

wow…looks leet

very nice and lovely
thanks AK

waleed

i hope u make a tut on that

Looks amazingly beautiful !

Hi andrew, one thing I’ve noticed is that when the camera pans to the other side and moves forward, you can see the yellow particles moving forward with the camera. Makes it a bit less believable. Otherwise I love it!

If you use the same technique that they use in the ipod commercials with the silhouette dancing guy and mix in this technique you get pretty interesting results. I will put on up when I’m done with the rendering.

…. amazing Andrew. you never cease to amaze me.

It wouldnt surprise me if Andrew Kramer could walk on water ..

nicely done man good work do you gonna make tutorial

amazing glowland

If you look at the project files, there is about 10 layers for the glow of the title and the bouncing balls.

Can anyone explain to me why there is so many layers of glow?
Couldn’t you put only 1-3 but make them bigger or something?

This is probably one of the coolest things you have ever done.

You beat me to it Andrew! I was going to try this while on vacation.

You need a state named after you…

good job andrew!

As usual I look forward to dissecting this and using it in new and interesting ways:-)

BTW would love to see a few more tutorials highlighting your products….as I own most of em;-)

paul

wOOOOOOOOOOoooooow thx alot mate !God bless you

These are the times that I realize I will never be as badass as you, Andrew.
Brilliant work.

that’s really really fantastic! thanks Andrew, and looking forward to your new creative issue.

Truly you’ll always be number 1 !!!!!! Purely Amazing Andrew

Looks crispy man,that’s good

You are very good at making things in AE that look like they came from a 3D app.

Very Nice. Keep doing good work, dude. I will always bless you.

This is irrelevant to the video but I had a dream I was in the video copilot mansion trying to escape capture from sam loya. The first to reach andrew got a medal and action essentials 2. Was awesome anyway.

its realy too goo fabulus

Comme d’hab… Andrew se distingue des autres que l’on peut voir sur le net et à un style unique. N’arrête pas on serait malheureux sans tes tuts et tes blagues.
Merci et bravo

Andrew, could you please make a tutorial for this effect?
Thnx!

Could you please make a tutorial for this effect. I tried a lot things… but it doesn’t work. This is a really nice effect!

Project like this one should be sold at 90$
you get it for free @ A.K
say thanks to Andrew!!!
we love youuuuuuuuuuu

thank u super just what i needed greets from holland keep up working

anyone know how the floor looks a little rounded? like its warped or something. and what kind of camera present do u think he used, cuz when it spins it looks pretty awesome

How do I convert the CS4 project to CS3?
TY

Tried to recreate this effect (very cool btw despite the rendering killing my machine ) I cant get my reflection/shadows to line up :S i’m very confused any pointers ?

wow.. very very very excellent one.. superbbbb stufff..

Thanks man for sharing ur knowledge but i Can’t really recreate the project. Andrew a tutorial for this won’t be out of place. Please, can u make a tutorial for this…

this is really cool…
this might be out of the topic but i just want to ask if what happen this 5-8 pm pacific time in your site .

Great effect Andrew! Keep the great tutorials coming

looks really great! here a website i found (is’nt mine) http://www.grungetextures.com/

http://blog.mozilla.com/faaborg/2008/12/16/new-os-x-icons-made-by-sofa/

Not sure you are allowed to use that icon on your UPDATES (on the blog) item. Just a thought.

This is so awesome Andrew! I have watched all of your tutorials and learned so much… I now attend Elms College in Chicopee, Massachusetts and am majoring in Computer Information Tech. for graphic design! You have inspired me to want to do motion graphics and VFX!

Thank You!

10Q so much man u r great but u r ideas should be improved

This is a very cool effect, thanks for sharing!

- Derrick

Awesome! just awesome you`re great. thanks

looks like awesome

Now if you would just add a Ninja Santa Warrior, it would be complete!

shit this is amazing andrew

Hey andrew loved the project so much that i had to do my version.

i have used this style on a number of my projects

anyways check it out and i hope you guys do too

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX0c90AblqM&hd=1

Very nice Andrew !!!!

Is you’re brother Tyler Kramer? I know a kid by that name who’s into computers and stuff and is probably old enough to be your brother.

I’m working on recreating this. I can’t for the life of me figure our how to create the particle reflections to fit correctly. The glows are fairly straight forward, as well as the reflection for the text. However, having issues with particle reflection. Anyone have ideas?

By the way, excellent work as usual Andrew. You never fail to amaze.

Just when I think you came up with such a great idea and thats it it can’t get any better, you prove me wrong.
You are the best of the best, most of what i know I learned it from you THANK YOU VERY MUCH! for these amazing tutorials and amazing products!!!…KEEP IT UP, you know you are here to stay!

cooooooooooolll:)

Dear Andrew

Such an amazing output you have put man
but cant this be done in a way or another same as what u did in “MORE PARTICLE SHADOWS IN NY” specially to have the look n feel for the particles in this video when they touch the ground and illuminate more, or the nearest getting to the ground the more illumination is there… can u clarify that part for us plz thnx Dear

Good Luck

andrew its amaizing that stuff you making. keep it up.

Hi, Where do you get Particular effect?

I just decided to hit the render button on a project, then decided to check out the website for updates. I totally regret hitting the render button. Now I have to wait to try this out. It looks amazing.

nine-good-amazing-great-fabulus-beautiful-i love it

so cool!
this is amazing!

good work once agein ! thank you :]
just wonder did anyone seen yet Skline movie ? is that only me or whole movie been made in AE5 ?

Thank you.
Thank you.
Once again you amaze, inspire, and delight us.
Thank you.

i wanna ask something about . How can I try to make the light in AE like real GI . an I allways make them just like an lightball. How can I make some real liner on it

I am your FAN……

Thanks to Andrew and EVERYBODY at VC that make this site possible. I know there’s not much we can do to support you all (other than purchasing your amazing products) but, I did spread the word almost daily and the web address will appear in several short films I am planning for 2011. Thank you again.
Jason

woa.its very nice

“After Effects is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not.”
Thanks Digital Yoda!

Can this be done in AE’s particle emitter (the bouncing)?

Hey andrew/guys, I tried downloading the project about 6 times and it keeps saying the file is corrupted

10 bucks if ya send it to my email andrew
or any help at all

You are the MAN!!!
I like the updated version of our site

Another impressive show – your glow always seems that little bit more intense than I can achieve…
One plea however; where possible would it be possible to still have CS3 compatible versions of the projects for those of us stuck with old 32bit pc’s and large mortgages?

the end result is fascinating…how did you end up doing the particle reflections? I’ve tried to think of a good way to do that, but the VC reflect plug-in wouldn’t be able to cut it, and flipping the world around doesn’t line up the particles properly. Would it be a combination of flipping the world and then flipping the x-axis of the layer itself? I just thought of that right now…maybe I should try that out.

Wow. I bet Adobe loves you. You take after effects to a whole new level.

ANDREW!!!!! MAKE A TUTORIAL!!! IF ANYTHING, REMOVE EVERYTHING ON THIS WEBSITE, I DONT CARE JUST MAKE A TUTORIAL FOR THIS!!!!!

<3

Many Thanks

Amazing stuff do

hi like always very amazing!!!
i always use your teach for my work’s thats are very nice …

my language site are persian for see it translate to english tnx

you’re the best Andrew! We’re learning a lot from you, there’s not much people like that today. Thanks a lot, first of all. The day I’ll become millionaire with this, you’ll get your part. Promised. Now, the question: I just tried to do it by myself, but in the moment I wanted to do the reflected particles on the ground, I saw you created a Null and set it to “SCALE Z=-100″, but when I do that it doesn’t fit at all… any trick?

Hi Andrew,

amazing effect…will you make a tutorial for this one too??

Please!!! Big fan!!!

Greetings from Germany
Mario

Sam’s got a good voice. Doesn’t even sound like him

(Replying to myself) Oops! Wrong blog post!

Looks nice, but sphere’s look more like discs. Is there anyway to do actual 3D imaging in adobe after effects? Move round them in 3D space? I am still learning using VC – thanks for the tutorials Mr Kramer

Nice Work
But also include the text font file also

Merry Christmas!!!

Really nice. Thank you.

Dear sir,

its a beauty u create in Light Particles Project

please would u sent me its projects file along with video tutorials
its a humble request

Thanx

loki

Wow! Awesome, Thank you for opening my eyes to the world of VFX. God bless you and all VIDEO COPILOT team.

That looks sick

Come on now, particular two, u know we don’t have that technology here in my country. It looks amazing, but in the future, don’t use particular two. Come on AK, its not free.

haloo can anybody tell me how to edit that title..i mean how to chage the wording “videocopilot”with my wording easily..can anyone teach me kindly..

Hey Andrew, really loved this take on the glow sphere tutorial you built, I actually tried the same thing but couldn’t figure out how to solve for the collision event and preserve the particular reflection properly until i downloaded your project file. I was just putzing around and tried implementing an aux system so occasionally these would impact and a few more would kick off almost like burning embers or something, but I noticed that the aux system particles would fall through the floor plane even if i changed the settings to infinite plane, tried switching the floor layer with a wall layer but still had similar results, most would stay on the floor but noticeably you’d notice quite a few that would fall through. Was wondering if you know what could cause that or what a fix might be? thanks

hey here is movie trailer which uses Light Particles check this out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-xolVNXin4

First off this is a sick project. I was trying to tweak my own similar project with some particles and saw this reflection style lighting. The only problem I can’t understand how to get the particles to reflect correctly. I downloaded the project file and still I can’t see the utilization of the nulls and how to match the reflection. Help me please. You da man AK

Awesome job but, when I imported they project idk what happened and now I can’t export directly to quick time .
If any one has comments/suggestions they would be greatly apreciated. As it stands I believe it is the comp res. that is messing me up.

hey andrew,you’re just amazing as you were,please upload the tutorial full version,your fans are eagerly waiting for that,hope u do it soooon

Nice Video A.K But, When I Imported Your Light Project In AfterEffects, An Error Message “This Project Contains 6 References To Missing Effects. Please Install The Following Effects To Restore These References. (“Particular”)”. How To Fix This A.K? Thanks

this is truly awesome superlike ^_^
………how did u do that?????

you’re a god Andrew!! Congrulations!!!

wow
Great!!! I like it very much!!

May I ask if you have CS3 project files to this? I would very much like to learn how to do it, but CS4 just won’t work on our PC (ancient, I know). Pretty please?

hi man , when i download the file it say that are missing file why??

very good not bad iwant much better

How can you put a person walking down in there? I know it won’t look completely real but could you do your best and then let us know how to do it? If that’s not a big enough challenge, maybe he can be kind of sidstepping the falling balls or something.

Here’s a Blender version of this done by Andrew Price:

http://www.blenderguru.com/create-a-sizzling-title-intro/

i downloaded the project file but… not got effect “particular” is it meant to be supplied in the project file? or am i meant to get it myself.

How does this work?! I am having trouble with the filter

Hi Guys,
Brilliant effects, with the light balls…I’d like to use something similar to create a short ident.
But I am going absolutely crazy trying to get the glows to be in the right place, and have now spent many hours trying to get it to work.
I have made the main comp with basic particle reflections fine.
BUT..In my luminance glow comp…
Problems start with the position of particles when I introduce the ‘looking down to get the top view camera” When I pull the camera out very far and zoom in I cannot match the position of the particles in the parent comp. In fact the particles are behaving completely differently in a way that suggest they are pointing the wrong way, but I cannot for the life of me work out why..I have gone through every stage of project creation and cant see the problem.

Would it be possible to send my project over to help me work this out at all?
Yours, very confused!

Eugene

Hey guys, what a great one.
Like most of the other guys i have big problems matching up the reflection of the particals with the real ones. I already set up the main comp and the “reflection comp” where I put a camera high above the ground. In my main comp the reflection already fits perfectly with the particals when I chose “top view”. BUT if i change to my aktive camera every thing gets a litte out of place, sometime not much sometime a lot. I cant figure out how to fix it. A tutorial about it, from one of u guys that already figuered it out would be awesome. Or maybe a little tip would be pleasant as well. I dont like to play with my comp around without knowing what I am doing,
I already thank you. Kon

This is amazing!!! Thank you very much!

Hey Andrew. Im a big fan. been so for years. Just want to ask you why when I move the camera around the bouncing balls don’t line up with the reflection on the floor. It aligns up to a point then it shears. It’s in 3D right so I should be able to move the cam 360 degrees? Thanks

Andrew,

I have just have to say you truly inspire me and that you are the reason I actually bought the Adobe Production Premium CS5.5 bundle! …It cost me a bundle too! Lol!
Now I am saving up to buy Action Essentials 2 (2K version) and then Optical flares and when it launches your new ELEMENT plug-in!
Don’t know in what order I’ll buy them in…I’m still thinking..so stop dilly dallying and launch this mother so I can decide! LOL!

Keep up the amazing work…

Thanks,

Jorge

hi andrew,
am just a kid with an interest to start studying this how should i start? pls help

i try to make this effect but dont know how to creat light reflection on floor for each partical, pl upload this tutorial.

omg we r in 2012 now

and i can’t do something like that

i am fkin fool

tut plz

Is it possible to get a tutorial on the reflections? It doesn´t seem like the same as the shadows…:/ Very nice though!
