Damn, I really am a noliver, I did take every minute a look on the blog if the new tutorial already online was. And now I am the first reaction
Sorry for my crappy Englisch, I’m Dutch and only 13 years old…
BTW; Your tutorials are great!!
Haha, ik ben ook 13, en kom ook uit Nederland! :p
I’m 13 too
and i’m from Italy
Following copilot from first tutorial to now
If I spoke English at 13 like you did, I’d be a happy person!
In this project I used a video copilot technique, see if you can spot it.

Awesome as always Andrew!
Great work as usual. I’m using all your plugins and products for my work. They are very helpful and cost effective too.
im 13 and what is this
Mr.Andrew kammer.You are nice
Your works is mallecious
lucky for you, you’re older than me, i’m only 11, and i’ve been doing vfx since i was nine
Awesome! You the man AK
WAUW! Nice again! We love you man!
Now Watching =)
Awesome, been waiting for this one, looks great!
This update was too late !!!

Your work is standard procedure
I have been waiting with baited breath for this. Thank you so much for your tireless efforts.
Kudos!
Wow, looks like some great stuff as usual Andrew. Thanks heaps.
Following your dreams?
Really Andrew jajajaja
FIRST!
jk
great andrew, we love you
though, this tutorial seems rather out of place, seeing the suspense you’ve built around the upcomming project
Thanks For The Tuts.
thanx mr. krammer
oh my gaaaaad ^^ so thank you!
Dear Mr. Kramer,
Though we love the free promotion, our logo is not to be “procedurally crumbled,” no matter how bad-ass it looks. If you continue this blatant disregard of the sacred Coke logo, we will be forced to terminate Sam Loya. And although he appears to be immortal, a la Kenny from South Park, do not doubt the powers of our legal team.
Signed,
Coke
FINALLY a comment worth reading!!
Lol, I’m switching to Pepsi…
I think Bruce Lee would be proud to see this…
Funniest thing I’ve read all day! Thanks for the laughs!!!
lol
The developers of Mortal Combat could not agree more fully, and we will be sending our best hit-men to eliminate the VC team if our demands are not met.
That’s hilarious!
Though I’m pretty sure both Coca-Cola and Warner Brothers have payed for this.
LOL, haha. FAKE
Nice! we will be forced to terminate sam loya with, wait for it!! arnold schwartsenager!
Long Time, I’m very happy, Thanx!
Wow, I was waiting for this for so long then just decided to figure it out on my own… Only now do I see how primitive my way was in comparison =P
Great job VC!

Andrew, I was just wondering. Have you ever, while making one of these tutorials, made a joke SO bad that you yourself could not include it in the final cut and buried it deeply away in your hard drive?
All the time.
Chris you are a damn lucky guy coz Andrew Kramer has replied to you !!!!!
You’ve been Kramered

Hey Andrew, aren’t you going to do more 3D tutorials? On 3D Max and Maya?
Please reply, big fan
Bobby
Cara,
a pouco tempo que me interessei por modelagem e animação em 3D e, também, por efeitos visuais. Ainda levo como um hobby, mas pretendo ir além. Conheci seu site durante esse breve intervalo e, hoje em dia, minhas visitas ao seu site são diárias. Sempre procuro por atualizações ou qualquer post que seja. Acho que compartilho dessa ansiedade com vários. Gostaria,então, de agradecer pelo seu trabalho porque, sem ele, muitos, assim como eu, não terÃamos a oportunidade de aprender sobre softwares como o After Effects da maneira divertida como é abordado aqui no VIDEO COPILOT.
Obrigado!
Way cool. You never disappoint!

Awesome tutorial! Thanks a lot!

Hey Andrew!
You almost transform AE to 3DS MAX lol
By watching the final result, people won’t believe that it was done in AE !!
Excellent animation! Thanks again !
thanks Andrew
Everytime I see one of your amazing works I wonder why aren’t you making movies for the big screen.
Of course he works for the Big Screen. He just doesn’t say it.
Tnx AK…
Mortal – Cola
Andrew Kramer Wins…
Flawless Victory
Maybe try CALI hehehehe
well done, thanks.
Yessir, can’t wait to check this one out! I’ve been waiting on the next one. I can’t wait until I can get to the point where I can start coming up with ideas like this!!!
On a side note, alot of us don’t have the likes of 3DS Max and such for the 3D stuff in the other tutorials. Could you give us some more cool Blender tutorials since that is free and everyone could try it? Thanks dude you rock!
Great tutorial! Can you add sound fx in project files in future?
Thx… AK
how u can thik so deep….but its nice.
waiting for the next tut….
thax….again..
do not forget for the next tut
Andrew, where did studing for this? please givme the adress for School. sorry for my inglish.
Hey Andrew! where did you get the music of your tutorials. I mean the intro music.
Thank’s for a teaching!
Look at the FAQ, i guess there is some information for you
(at least if i remember it correctly
)
This tutorial was used on American Idols results show tonight.
very good very nice
Hi andrew
is it possible put some NUKE tutorials
Did anyone notice that this exact tutorial was used on American Idol last night? At the beginning of the show, a white background shattered revealing the word “One” in black.
Oi Andrew!
Some things are way to obvious to be coincidental. I’ve seen every episode of this season of American Idol. Have you watched the latest episode? If not, you should. What does it use in the pre-intro? Procedural ‘crumbling’… There’s just no way that’s a coincidence – I’ve say it’s pretty obvious you’ve got fans in the Am. Idol editing room, hehe… Pure awesomeness… ;D
Rgds/Johnny Farmfield
Andrew!! My wife made me watch American Idol last night, and they totally used this technique at for the opening text of the show! Crazy cool. You should be getting some sort of residuals for your work!
They used this last night on the American Idol intro, hah.
Wait a minute… There’s tutorials on VC?! BONUS! All this time I’ve just been coming here for the jokes! Kidding
Awesome tut as always. I’ve been waiting for this one. It was SO worth the wait! Yur an insperation man. Thank u!!
Again excellent work, I wish I had your skills and imagination.
Hola que tal Andrew, mi nombre es Gabriel Trinidad Santiago
es muy chida el tutorial pues la verdad me gustamucho lo que haces espero un dia poder a dominar mejor el After Effects pues si lo se usar es por que he visto tus tutoriales aun sin saber hablar ni leer el Ingles, mucho menos tener los plug-ins que tu usas.
Pero son muy buenas tus tutoriales
¡Felicidades!
Adios
Good Tutorial for an super old AE plugin(Shatter). I wonder why you wouldn´t juse reals smart motionblur instead of that slow cc vector blur
Sorry, I get so carried away with new tutorials. It amazes me how someone can effortlessly come up with something so complicated. Oh yeah, and VC ROCKS YO!!!!!!!!!!!
great man i like it
Tnx Andrew ! Awesome tutorial
Where i can find more war fx sound plz reply
You are good Andrew.
Thanks AK!..best tut ever!..gr8 stuff!…

This would be a great effect for when a bullet hits a rock wall. Great job Andrew.
Hi andrew.
It’s very nice.
Thanks.
بابا به قول خودمون دمت گرم
I would really like to see you do some stuff that looks like the WWE Raw and Smackdown graphics on tv. It would be nice to be able to watch someone create stuff like that to learn from.
this is great!!!!!!
check out my website photoshop tutorials free

Oh great, my life is crumbling – my wife is leaving me, my kids hate me and now this tutorial. You’re a mean man Mr. Kramer. Way to rub salt in my wounds.
Maybe if my wife sees that I can create this motion graphic she will stay with me. Then again, bring on the hoes…..
Seriously now, Great job again AK!
Hello Andrew! Again you made an awesome tutorial. I wanted to thank you personally, because now, thanks to you and your great tutorials, I am selected in one of the best schools of France of motion graphics and 3D animation. Lots of thanks from a french guy. Long life to you and to crumble ( nice meal ). I’m impatient to see the next tutorial. Have a nice week!
Hey Andrew!
You should put here on video copilot’s site somekind of parcel where we can write down our problems in after effects and ask advice from other users.
I know I would found it useful and I’m sure that many of the users agree with me.
That is just an idea =)
Hey Jesse! There is a place called a Forum that does JUST what you want! It is located at the top of this page, just click on “FORUM”. Good luck!
I’m sure you can find that on the forum…
I love all your tuto and i ask you more !!
Andrew can you show as haw to do the footage of a nerve in the generique of the serie Dr House. thank you.
Very good tutorial, the first one of you that i follow and not the last one. And i can understand what you are saying in the video whereas i am not very good in English !!
Great Job !!
Andrew,
Man this is fantastic. Thanks so much for your tutorials I really enjoy them and learn a lot. You need to work on your jokes though – only kidding.
I Like It In video………
oh yeah!!! justo lo que buscaba, ya vereis el resultado
thanks!!
yeah thanks
This is an extremely brilliant website with the most professional templates and tutorials out there.
Very nice tutorial (how do you come up with them?)
could you pleeeeeeez make a tutorial on a TV effect
Very nice effect. I did something similar a few months ago. You can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQkzjH9I9f4
Fast forward to 10:55 to see the effect. Now that I see Andrew’s version, I realize I could have made it look better still…thanks again, man!
LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT AFTER EFFECTS ALTHOUGH I HAVE JUST STARTED WITH THE BASICS
Oh yeah, i’m gonna try this quickly.
Thanks andrew
I´ve just seen that “Tele5″ has used your project in the promo of a reality show called “Supervivientes”. Exactly the same!
Is not the first time. Green Smoke tutorial was used in the commercial of “Hispania”, obviusly, smoke was no green. Is incredible the level of your tutos, and you make them very easy for people than me. Thanks for show us your hard work
Hey Andrew,
While looking at this video, and specifically at the part where you want the pieces to ‘write on while crumbling’, wouldn’t it be easier if you just ticked ”render all” and not just the pieces?
Would that work?
Looking for an answer,
Raz.
In this project I used a video copilot technique, see if you can spot it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM6pdzgTIjA
Used a similar effect along with stock from VideoCoPilot Action Essentials on a promotional video I worked on.
You can check it here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1ehOratG-o
Thank you Andrew
Gotta love Andrew’s work. Check out my YouTube channel for more
http://www.youtube.com/user/georgewoofbates
thanks dear god blessing
I just love this site. Its neat and well organised. And this tut? great as always. Thanks a lot
how make a sound for this video?
the project didn’t open them
U r the effect of hero!
I used this effect for a video for church. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ylYXFjPHdU
Speaking of Action essentials 2, I just realized the show “Archer” uses it like ALL the time.
Hey check out my new intro
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cABEOFzRdI0
Andrew rocks…. Every tutorials are having some uniqueness….
Thank you.
wow just Awesome!
Nice tutorial Andrew, thank you!
Hi Andrew. A Spanish commercial television (Tele 5) use your project to promote a reality (Supervivientes). I’m looking the promo video to get you a link.
Ahh … sorry for my English!
This is pretty neat, similar, although this guy used real explosives, it would be cool to simulate the effect in AE.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6FU1Fvn9Nk
here my new intro;-)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04cUDJW2rHg
thanks andrew kramer
Please excuse me if this has already been posted, but I find this too cool to not to be shared.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7HanKiq6r8&feature=youtu.be
This tutorial was used in the new official lamborghini teaser.
So just to do a bit of a shout out, I’ve been working on a project for about a year and a half and I’d come down to one of the last effects in it and was playing around with various things to get the look right and then this tutorial came out! I’m not doing exactly what you’re doing here (at all) but I was able to take some of your steps and kinda apply them to my project and now 1 and 1/2 years worth of work is finished. Thanks!!! it was very timely.
hi sir i love all video but have one question where do you find the pictures at ???
Telecinco (TV Channel) has used your project in the promo of “Supervivientesâ€.
thank you andrew i have enjoyed by you tuterial video
great tutorial!
Thanks. I hope you continue releasing more useful articles.
Hey Andrew, if you see this, check out the end of this new trailer. Unless you did the effect in which case you already knew about it.

Can someone give me a link to the “cracks.png” photo… please.
