Discover The Secret…

July 11th, 2011

Soon. Unfortunately today all I can show is another teaser for another project that I can’t publish yet… I know, but I just want to show you proof that we’ve been busy doing something, at least. This is the update: we are waiting for some paperwork to get finished and some minor legal dealing and then I’ll be posting the video. And no, it’s not a movie. Not exactly… not even close really.

Let’s just say in my limited free time for the past six months, minus the 3 months of work I did for Super 8, developing Plug-ins, and enjoying my family, I’ve also been chipping away at this unusual project. It’s finally almost done. If I tell you what it is, then it may somewhat ruin the surprise, if I build it up too much, you might get disappointing. So Just keep an eye out for it, no big deal, but I really am looking forward to sharing it with the community! Thanks.

Atmospheric Re-Entry!

Here is a preview of an animation i’m working on. Playing around with Element 3D and Saber to create the fiery streaks!

Circuit City

Making circuits! After trying to create something large, I thought I should try to make something small! I started by taking a circuitry texture and placing it on a plane in Element 3D. I used the texture in the Glossiness channel and the reflection channel to give the pathways a metalic look. Next I built the […]

Cloud City

Continuing the Element 3D fun! This started as a desert scene and soon turned into a cloud city! Typical. Part of the fun of these render projects is just creating random stuff and designing without a specific goal. It’s actually been really challenging and exciting to try various techniques. In this scene, I used an aerial […]

First off its great to see Andrew getting more involved with the community through the comments and I think i speak for us all when I say, "take you time, we much prefer quality over quantity."

Those sites that churn out a tutorial a week usually end up having poor end results and a lack of real learning. At least with you we wait patiently KNOWING that we are going to really learn something fantastic.

Keep up the good work Andrew, your an inspiration to us all.

i noticed the optical flares in super 8 and i was like, yep, theres andrew kramer

reply

Andrew Kramer

5 years ago

Actually, I thought I might answer this. I worked on about 100 VFX shots for the film and none of them included adding lens flares. I can't speak for the work of ILM but all of the flares in the film are shot in-camera using high-end anamorphic lenses. Our plug-in is designed to recreate these type of lens flares but the ones in the film are 100% REAL!

FMR

5 years ago

Wow!! I don't know what's more interesting: that the flares in Super 8 are actually all in-camera or that Optical Flares can recreate them!?!

Alex

5 years ago

in this case Andrew, maybe you can tell us more about what you did in those vfx shots at super 8. i'm curious. did you work in after effects or in nuke? as far as i know, ilm guys do most of their comping in nuke these days.

James

5 years ago

i wanna know how long it took to render the stuff for Super8. 100+ FX at what, 4K? What was Super8 shot on anyway? (hahaha, that sounds like the silliest question in the world, don't it?)

Andrew Kramer

5 years ago

I was the lead at BadRobot doing the VFX in After Effects and 3D max, some of the compositors there used Nuke but we all worked in the same color space and there was no problems working with both platforms. The resolution is 2K anamorphic. ILM did most of the major shots but I got my hands on a variety of stuff from blue-screen composites to a couple of explosions and even a kid throwing up on a bus :) One of the most difficult shots was a rig removal on a moving vehicle, I'll try to get permission to demonstrate my workflow, it was crazy! Until then.

Remington M

Wow! Thanks for sharing that Andrew. Like everyone else, I really would have bet a lot of money that was Optical Flares. Throughout the whole movie I kept pointing them out and telling people I could go home and recreate that same one :) I guess that just says a lot for Optical Flares that it does such a good job that people are calling real ones fake. Thanks for sharing and I really hope you can get the permission to share a little more about the project!

Hey Andrew, i've been working with vfx for over a year now... thanx to you, i've been through all your tutorials! The only problem i face every time is sound fx. I kinda don't like working on it!! please recommend some good sound fx tutorials either made by you or some other good community!

Thanx in advance!

Hey Aditya, I was thinking about doing some sound design tutorials. Do you think this would be something that people would actually watch? I seen your comment and and was like... "SFX are the 2nd best part!" I do foley and sound design as well for clients. I have 8 yrs. experience. Give me some feedback. Thanx!!

I second that. Can anyone direct us to a good place to learn how to build sound effects or download good free ones?

Aditya Mulgundkar

@aaron.... Sfx actually means special effects, i guess, not sound fx. and yeah, it would be a pleasure to watch some good tutorials based on the same.... Since there are not many tutorials for sound fx around, i guess most of us here will love to learn something good from you. (the following is also for our idol, Mr.Kramer. whether he reads it or not!)

Hey Andrew, I was wondering if you were going to be doing any tutorials for Apples Motion. I was thinkin of doing some myself because the $50 price point on a complete compositing suite is pretty sick. Your thoughts?

There's the problem, squandering time "enjoying the family" If you spent more time concentrating on getting your work done than "enjoying the family" there wouldn't be these delays.

Whats next: "Vacation with the family?" I don't know........ what ever happened to priorities..?

reply

Andrew Kramer

5 years ago

Tell me about it! Actually truth be told, there a little vacation coming up...

Luke

5 years ago

Darren, from a parent prespective, I'm sure 'family' is always number one on priorities and work should never intervene with that. So cut Andrew some slack, he is a hard worker and from what it appears a brilliant dad, so allow him to bring up his children and stop being rude.

william

Darren no offence but you must be a lonely individual. without Andrews family, you probably wouldn't have a VDEOCOPILOT to criticize so be more objective. All work and no play, means you can't even enjoy your pay.

Rich T

Luke, Darren was having a laugh.

But then maybe you were too and it was like a double-bluff thing?

Andrew Kramer

I'm pretty sure Darren was being cheeky :) So was I.

Eric

That's the problem with anything written. Sometimes it is hard to get across what you mean in words. I gotten into a few misunderstandings that way. That's why :) is so valuable!

I do not think that is a plug-in as they were recorded on this so.

no puede ser un juego ya que Andrew no Estudio esto
tampoco creo que sea un Plug-in ya que se vieron grabaciones sobre esto asi que

I wouldn't rule out the possibility of this being a game or something similar.
Wether Andrew studied interactive design or not is not so relevant in the age of the Internet.

Interactive flash stuff is fairly easy to create.

Using various roto and split-screen effects we transformed a two-man SWAT team into a full squad for this demo scene. Sam Loya reprises his role as the “guy who probably gets killed”, in this exciting industrial saga. The main goal of this scene was to film everything as if we had a dozen guys instead […]
