Andrew Kramer on May 22nd, 2011 6:37 pm
Good news! Now that I am finished helping out with some visual effects on the new film Super 8, I’m excited to get back to all this awesome Video Copilot action!
As some of you may know, we started shooting this Crystal ball promo a couple of months ago and before I could finish, my schedule filled up with some great opportunities to work on a feature film with director J.J. Abrams. Now I didn’t want to release our promo project until it was completely done so now that I’m back, there are a few last minute effects to do and then we are going to premiere the promo sometime next week.
Until then, here is a short video with some behind-the-scenes coverage.

Spielberg, Abrams, and Kramer!!! How could it fail
Good to see you back!!
Oh my God, you helped J.J. Abrams with Super 8?! I’m so jealous! I’ll be seeing the midnight premier and I will look for your name in the ending credits!
Regardless of andrews involvement I was looking forward to this movie more than any other this summer, knowing he had a part in some visual effects makes it that much more sweet!
Seeing how J.J. loves lens flares and how Video Copilot made the awesome Optical Flares plug-in for After Effects, it’s a match made in heaven.
Which part did you end up working on?
WOW cool! Please show the whole thing as soon as possible
Awesome Andrew!!!
U should make a short movie or something like that.
U have all effects in your hands. =)

Can’t wait for Super 8 and Crystal ball!
Thanks Andrew!
Wow! I love JJ’s movies and I love Kramer’s effects, the two combined may just melt my mind! Congrats!
You’ve worked in Super-8… wow. One of the films that I’m so looking forward to…
Fantastic job, keep up the good work!
how far have you come, wow.
Q. when your asked to do projects like “Super 8′, do you get a bit of a panic attack of a bit nervous wondering if your up to the challenges?
amazing! so awesome! goodluck!
Awesome to hear you’re back!! Always check the site daily, glad to see an update!
and when you think where you started with sky replacement, do you pinch yourself sometimes and ask, “I have J.J as a friend, making fx shots for super 8?”. what a buzz for you, bet your tired though?
Andrew thank you for showing us that patience and consistency…means you can make your dreams come true! Looking forward to all your incredible work.
great work i like it…..
If you only knew how I’m pleased to see that you posted some comments you would do it every day))). At one time I even stopped visiting the VC!!!
that was bad time)
I’ve a question: how long dose it take you to complete а project from creating idea to final result?
I looking forward to see this project, Andrew.
And do not leave for long time your main really awesome project – Video Copilot:)
LOOK AT THAT BRUNETTE <3
I’m excited!
(my comment was to short and the server made me say something useful but I think short is good in this case so this is just for making my comment longer:D)
blond girl wahouuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I loved the use of all the fans!
Looks great, Andrew!
Nice as always!!!!
chilled day at work (cause of you guys & AK). watchin’ the road builders doin’ their work. Mind-blowing job. Hmm the sun is shining. Nice!
The Super8 trailer had you written all over it…cudos man!
You make me smile! Excellent work.
andres’re a great guy, I hope to work on big productions do not change your personality, and that among the many tutorial sites that there is in this place where I feel very comfortable with your teaching, do not forget to users
I wish you well in this year that comes with great opportunities for you
Greetings
Gaston, Argentina
You worked on super 8?!
got to see that movie
Honestly, Super 8 didn’t interest me, but I may check it out just because A.K. did work in it.
man, I look forward
Those flares! I know them.
It must have been annoying having those girls continuously getting in the way of the shots when you were trying to film the Crystal ball??
Terrible distraction……..
yay… Hope your wife didn’t watch it ))))
Nice to have you here again Andrew
You are …
// for “…” any epic word
I’ve been waiting for this
And now that I know that Super 8 is the reason you were delayed, it makes everything better
What did you do on Super 8? So I can keep my eyes open for it xD
Im going to go with you delt with optical flares,
its Andrew Kramer and JJ Abrams, its was only a matter of time before they got together!
it’s great work as always, but at some points…wow, SUPER SEXY
looking forward to seeing it
Andrew,
Seriously….you have way to much fun and you get paid for it. Jealousy….serious jealousy here sir…lol.
Blessings on you and your crew. Is the blonde girl looking to settle down?? ;D
Really looking forward to this!
I called that he was working on Super 8.
woooow, amazing
This looks absolutely awesome. Production is top notch. Can’t wait to see what you come up with.
LOL!!! I got in trouble at work for watching your spot. I check this site everyday for inspiration and tips. Today…. for some reason, my boss had a bug up his ass and chewed me out for not “working”. LOL!!!
It was about time!
cant wait!
But when does it comes out in Sweden?
I was already exited about Super 8 because of Spielberg and JJ. Kramer’s on it too!?! This is one I’m NOT gonna miss!
Awesome this looks like it’s gonna be really amazing. I finally got my professional grade green screen too so I hope I can start doing some of the things you do. Thanks for being an inspiration.
Congrats on your gig with Abrams and Super 8. See kids hard work pays off.
Andrew, my professional life would have no joy if it wasn’t for you! Please keep up the awesome tutorials, and much love from the UK.
congratulations on your work andrew!
I’m anxious to know what was your involvement in the movie!
You’re an example to follow …. Proof of this is my site ….
After I’d seen the trailer on apple trailers and read its a JJ Abrams and Spielberg thing, I knew Andrew Kramers FinalEffects will be in there with the VFX houses list
Awesome, Anderw!!
Wow, definitely will have to check out Super 8 – I just watched star trek again last night and I’m still blown away at the stellar quality. Cheers to you Andrew Kramer.
I knew it from the start when i saw the promo of Super 8. It has optical flares used in the title, pretty much the same way, as Andrew uses it…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpzUCA5i6zY
Nice!!! Looks amazing!!!
Wow, visual for J.J Abrams’s film? ! Leslie Nielsen would say: BINGO!
Your “behind of scenes” looks very professional! I’ve seen a lot of expensive technology ! how many cameras do you have now??! Plus a canon! Two models (very cute!) and a real , convincing scenography! So , next step is Cinema! I think that some producer will see your skills! I always thought that: you are born for this job!
your name isn’t listed in imdb.com
It must be hard to work with beauty girls in something you enjoy
Congratulations! felicitaciones!
Ahhhh whats happening here? lol!
Awesome Dude!!! keep the damn good work! from Panama to the world!!!
Great work … Excellent work … You are dangerous … ANDREW
Really really cool.
Succession Planning AK!! Who’s going to take up the mantle when you move onto bigger things? I don’t know who could, “Heavy lies the crown”. I would hate to see this community you’ve built go stale due to demands in your life – I would literally cry like a little girl!
what camera (not the DSLR) is he using in those shots? is that an AF-100?
Good to see you back boss,Keep on rocking
Awesome Work AK!!!….you are GOD!
I wasn’t going to see Super8…
You can bet your ** I will now!

Now I’m going to see Super 8 just because of Andrew being a part of it!
YOU WORKED ON SUPER 8?
Wow!!!
I want more in depth of the behind the scenes.
How you shot it, what cameras, cranes, tips, problems how you solved them.
I would prefer to watch a full BTS like a movie
Thanks andrew, now i almost went deaf with the audio of this video.this looks like some REAL hard work to edit
Thats great, greetings from Nigeria… learning alot of stuff from your website
nice to see you back
hey man go with where the action and money is at! that is a great opportunity!, did you work on any title design or was it visual effects in the movie. its of course gotta be chock full of badass effects
Interesting I hope we see more of these “behind the scenes” videos Andrew.
Good News… We are Proud of Great Guys… U R One…
Whoa, Super 8, that’s great! Are you using Afer Effects when working on movies or node based systems like Fusion or Nuke?
More awesomeness form the VC team! Can’t wait to see the final film and tutorials!
WOoOoOW i love this job
when ever I think you cant get any better you Do, I smile ear to ear when I saw the behind the scenes great work. It is so cool you got to work on Super 8
You were working on Super 8?!… Now I definatly have to see this film heheh. Also, just purchased optical flares.
It kicks the bejeezus out of aftereffects’s normal lensflare.
Thanks for making such a great plugin.
Its not Super 8, I guess it’s Super AK
Andrew, as a fellow SoCal’er I have enjoyed watching you grow in talent and career. You’re doing an amazing job! And best of all, you allow us all to be part of the journey with your tutorials and online projects. Thanks a million!!!
Ur wife must be jelious
)
Is that a Sony F3 I see?
I’ve seen some S-log action with that thing, very impressive.
Mate those girls are smoking, tell em to come to
Australia..oh yeah nice effects thingy;-)………somkin girls though just awesome
I remember when this trailer came out a little bit ago and i saw all those flares, and this was after i bought your entire lens flare studio. I said to my self this looks allot like Video Copilot’s lens flares???? and it has that Andrew Kramer feel??? and now u post on your blog about your working on this project! That is pretty awesome!
BIG QUESTION Andrew Kramer? did you design the part in the trailer that says “Directed by J.J. Abrams” and there is a lens flare sliding slowly up the left of the screen?
komaaan.
give me some blood and gore now pleeeease.
i waaant ACTION
Andrew, saw some promos for ‘Super 8′ and from the look I spotted your work a mile away. I mean that as a compliment! I said that is definitely Andrew Kramer’s doing! Looking forward to it!
u r rocking man ,u work is real nice and u r thought’s all so different.
I see you used Kestler Crane. Care to share your thoughts about it?
Andrew,
I noticed you were shooting greenscreen with the Canon. I devoted an entire blog entry to what that is a bad idea. Did it give you reliable results? Its never given me anything other than headaches!
William
really super.
when release the tutorial?
Amazing job very very nice
i can’t wait to see your name in the end credits mr kramer. And of course the job you did in that film. More blessings to come.
the only two words i always say at this point: can´t wait!
It is really impressive.
This is incredible, as usually.
Andrew no matter what u are a big challenge to me and I desire to be greater than you someday… God bless you real good…
As always: huuuuuuge!!!
You seem to work with 2 or 3 cameras? 1 canon 5D Mark II, and 1 Sony PMWF3?
Great work anyway…
Thanks Andrew.
You know, I saw the trailer to Super 8 and I thought I saw some optical flares. Thought to myself, oh they bought that from Andrew Kramer. Nope, Andrew did it himself!
NICE!
Not using Magic Lantern on the 5d, I see.
Looking good.
I watched the Super 8 trailer the other day and thought I noticed some of your handy work. I could totally tell the use of optical flares. Good luck, and I’m glad to see your back.
P.S.
Totally going to see Super 8. J.J. Abrams as the director & Spielberg as the producer. How could you go wrong?
I make sure to look for your name in the credits
Amazing !!! you can do anything Cheerrrrr!!!
nice Andrew.Is it for Any television ?
AK – was that yet to be released Sony NEX FS100 making a cameo in that BTS seg.
And where those quick shots around :19 the final grade?
Just a question…
Working withh JJ.Abrams means that you will be working on Fringe Season 4 as well???Because I relly want to know..
Just awesome!! It’s great what you’re doing there! Greetings from Switzerland
This is my magic ball http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyyEm7wLDR8

Thank you.
Greetings from the Czech Rep.

Grater…can it be true?
Everything you do Andrew is going better and better…
Kramer: You are a genius!
Wow, no wonder there were so many Optical Flares in the Super Eight trailer.
That’s amazing that you are working on that film!
I Deify You.
Best Wish.
Hey, do you have a tutorial for advance greenscreening like you did with the table, and ball, and wall, and other things in this Sample vid?
Sounds like you and J.J. are best buds these days. You’re famous
Hey, can you ask J.J. for Jennifer Garner’s number? I lost it and she borrowed some CDs a few years ago that I need back. Ha!
YOU WISH
Hey Andrew, what Pc configuration do you use? Your tutorials look so smooth.
Andrew kramer , is basshunter your brother ?
Keep on rocking mr. Kramer!!
Can’t wait!

I would be happy to see a full lenght behind the scene film so we all will know how to not only make a great effects but also how to add them to the reality !!

Amazing.
Love it. Tutorials please!
What cameras are you using?
I think he’s using a Red camera there and probably a Sony cam
Looks cool and I’m glad to have you back. But why do you always work with J.J. Abrams
Good to hear that,,,,,,,,,,
Andrew is great to see you in action!
I’m Looking forward to seeing the final project
Hug from Brazil
Awesome as always Andrew! Look whose blowing up! Love VCP!
Looking forward to it, im checking this site twice a day just waitting for the new amazing tut~~
Best comment I’ve read has got to be “Good JOOB!!!”
Err… Back in action? …
It’s been more than a week now…
I wanna see some action! The suspense is killing me…
UGH so painful waiting for this! lol But, I think we all understand that Andrew Kramer is in high demand. Damn, we have to compete with J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg… that’s some tough competition.
Wow! 45 million dollars is a lot! I can’t wait to watch the movie. You are so lucky to be able to work with Steven Spielberg and J.J Abrams.
Andrew, it’s tough to be you XD
i actually noticed that u come up with very good soundtracks for all ur videos.it will be really helpful if u can share some of them with us as it can help us with our videos too….=)
i noticed one particular thing…u tend to mix good soundtracks into your tutorials…can u please share them with us 2…it will b greatly helpful…thx…=)
I work at a movie theater and I’m actually working the opening night of Super 8. I’m excited, it looks like a great movie!
WoooooooooWW you helped make Super 8………AWESOME!!!
Ma mann Andrew,i just cant wait to see Super8.well and about your crystal ball promo what is the name of the camera you used cos its really good.i dnt noe a lot abt cameras bt i have interest in them.
AWESOME! You will show us how all of that is made, right?
WAW gooood job andrew
Nice work! What jib is that, that you are using in your shoot?
Andrew, you’re amazing! I’ve been watching your tutorials basically since you uploaded the first one.
Well done on the visual effect you did in Super 8!!
My friends would always wonder how I got such amazing visual effects into my short films (for school assignments). I told my teacher about your awesome website, he made me stand in-front of the class and teach him as well as the class all of the technical terminology in your tutorials. He made me do that every lesson for around a week.
This is our last year in high school and we are making short films that will be submitted to a program called “BUFTA” (It’s in Australia if you’d like to know). It’s run by a University called ‘Bond’ (They are located in the Gold Coast, QLD, Australia) I live a few minutes away from that Uni, so I’m hoping to get in.
The winner of “BUFTA” will recieve a full scholarship to that University (It’s valued at $79,200)
I’m going to have a lot of competition because lots of people at my school know of your website, but that’s good, you deserve as much followers as possible!!
Any-ways, I’d just like to say thanks for possibly changing my life forever!
If I don’t get the scholarship, it doesn’t matter, I’m going to do a 4 year I.T. course in Uni any-ways.
Thanks Andrew!!
Congrats on Super 8! My most anticipated film this year!
I found a movie trailer with tons of ‘Twitch’ and ‘Optical Flares’. It is called, “Rift”
http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/therift/
Can’t wait for this VC short! Keep it real.
Andrew, been really into Super 8. Have you been working on these shots: http://www.s8editingroom.com
Andrew, I went to see Super 8 today (openning day here in Northern VA) and waited for your name to appear in the Body credits. You are a humble guy…your name came on the screen almost last…and I noticed that you did the title design…I could help but notice the optical flares and bet that you were a big part of that plus quite a few other things in that movie! Great job and I hope to see your name in lights more often! You should have listed your name at the beginning of the credits, but your humble nature prevailed I guess. Maybe Spielberg had the final word on that though.
Saw your name in the credits! Very nice. I couldn’t get enough of those massive blue flares!!!!!
Just came back from Super *. Great job to all. It really was a throw back to those late 70′s early 80′s Spielberg movies. I laughed everytime I saw a lense flare,I knew who was behind it and caught myself trying to name the presets!…lol It was a fantastic flick. EVERYBODY…GO SEE SUPER 8!!! Later.
I’ve seen Super 8, and I knew as soon as I seen the well done flares in it, you helped out. Nice job, Andrew!
Totally saw your name on the 100 foot IMAX screen after Super 8 fantastic work saw a few presets I recognized in your tutorials awesome loved the movie too and keep up the good work
Just saw super 8, loved it, my girlfriend doesn’t usually enjoy that kind of stuff, but she also enjoyed it, good work! Though, she couldn’t understand why there were flares in the movie, I explain why they were there and she didn’t get it. She’s french though, so no big deal.
AWESOME!!! Thumbs up!! xD
Saw Super 8 over the weekend. Loved it, but there were just too many flares. Seriously, did they need to put them in just about every shot? Too much of a good thing is still too much. My friend who went with me said there were several times he was confused why the flare was there. When you notice the effect, it’s not a good thing.
I watched Super 8 today And I found that optical flare is appeared sometimes. Is that your work?
I just went to see Super 8 over the weekend as I can see many here have. I absolutely loved it! But then after we were sitting through the credits, you know, just in case there was one of those extra scenes at the end, and the final names were going by. I’ve never really known, whether directly or indirectly, someone in the credits. However, all of a sudden, I see “Andrew Kramer” go up the screen! Great job
big round of applause Mr. Kramer, super Wow, with super 8 with super flares and everything. ITS PERFECT
Can u please show us clips of the movie that u did work on…….ps, I saw Ur name in the credits
Andrew,
Usually you WOW me right out of my pants, but now I’m annoyed. Why don’t a lot of the blog videos work with Google Chrome? When I’m working, I’m on my desktop, When I’m enjoying, I’m on my laptop. The Laptop has Chrome. When I went to watch this video today (in enjoyment mode), it said that my Quicktime was out of date, so I updated it and still I had to watch this video in ‘Old’ Quicktime which worked and now I get an error on other videos on other sites.
I don’t blame you, it’s a quicktime/chrome error I’m sure, but now I have to put my pants back on, as you WOW’ed me out of them in your last Tutorial and I kept them off while trying to watch this vid. It was just so comfortable that way.
I just wanted to give you a heads up, just in case it’s something on the site. If not, no worries, I’ll be over there hiding in the corner.
How come Levis Boot Cut Jeans don’t have button fly’s? I hate zippers. Did I say that out loud?
That’s for all of your work and making things that I like to watch so much better!
This is great. good job Andrew
HOLY CRAPOLY!! Just bought Super 8 on blue ray, saw your name twice in credits and flipped out, and, HOLY CRAP!! again because they used a crap load of optical flares, all the time i was watching the movie i was thinking, “That was Andrew, That was Andrew, and of course, that Was Andrew” and also, i was kinda hoping you’d have a part in the extras section, but no, BOOO, completely awesome job, as usual, also, question, what VFX did you do for Super 8 any way, the train crash, Nelecs head exploding?
