Thank u Andrew ,,,,,,,,,,,,:)

That’s just awesome!! Thank You!

Thanks Check out my channel! StampersMedia on YouTube

Great, that’s pretty useful! Thanks!

very usefull, thnx AK

It’s the little things in life.

Nice! This can be usefull! Thanks a lot

Very nice thankyou. I’ve had more than my fair share of (failed) attempts to recreate these properly. Mucho appreciated \^^/

Awesome! How about a major motion picture credit roll with things in industry standard order, if such a thing exists.

YES! Thanks always wanted to use this, haha.

This is awesome. Great timing. Was dreading making this for a project.

Just what I needed! I’ll include VC too!

Thank you… Also, hilarious link to fake trailer – If you know your producers you’ll get the jokes

Awesome !! thanks a lot bro

You’re always thinking… And it’s much appreciated! Love the trailer, definitely lol. Looking forward to the city pack too.

“Put the font thingie in your font folder thingie.” lol!!

wow! thank you so much Andrew! that’s really generous of u, as always!

Thank you – its awesome!

Looks great! Thanks for doing that thing you do, Mr. Kramer and friends.

-Simon

Best site on the Interwebs!!

Thank you so much Andrew!

nice font, but I have the entire font collection of knockout, the font is one of the, the collection of this font is 300, – Dollar

Very cool font, thanks! A very similar font is, however, avaliable, called Alien League. Squeeze it a little bit, and it is essentially the same.

It can be downloaded here:

Splendid! This website remains an unparallelled resource and inspiration.

Here’s my 3D logo made with Element 3D.

Thank you Andrew!
This is awesome!

Looks awesome:)Thanks a lot Andrew.

Similar to Univers Ultra Condensed which is what I usually use – but an excellent free alternative. Thanks so much, Mr. K!

Sweet. Thanks Buddy.

Andrew, any idea why do they use this technique in every movie. ON EVERY DVD OR BLU-RAY? Is it a tradition?

unreal, you’re a legend

Steel Tongs is also a pretty neat font for this (it should be free for use)
http://www.abstractfonts.com/font/11551

Providing free things like this is awesome because small touches like professional looking titles for fake trailers isn’t something that often has time to be put toward, so thanks immensely. That’s how you spark fan loyalty.

Now, how about a “fake trailer” contest to win some swag?

Thank you slim, much appreciated….now release Optical Flairs v2 and some model packs so I can give you this money!

Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!

haha! very cool, thanks

Thanks for taking the time to add little freebies here and there, like this font and psd setup. I burned a few hours last week trying to hand make something like this. You keep saving me time Andrew and that helps me with the makings of the moneys and then I buy more VCP stuff… Speaking of which: Can’t wait for the Metro Pack! FYI: there is an error up on your 3d packs products page, where I can see part of the Metro Pack button.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zf__JX5vFXw
its for you

Thanks so much. It’s things like this that make me keep coming back to Video Copilot!

How would you say this font compares to SF Movie Font? That’s the only other free font I’ve found. Great work sir.

Muchas gracias tío! eres muy grande! un saludos desde España!

Thanks again, sir. God bless you guys!

Thank, I have never thougth in that broh ‘ jajajaa

how can we do our own font?

As a graphic designer myself fonts free of licensing restrictions are always welcome. Thank you! It’s little things like this (as well as the quality of your tools) that make me feel good about continuing to support VCP with my money.

That said, if you need a similar font with accents, glyphs, ligatures, etc. you can try googling “extra condensed gothic fonts.”

haha you guys are ligit! thanks!

Nice font. It could serve more purposes than this one. Thank you.
There’s also Steel Tongs that another user commented about, which is a good alternative and it’s also free.

By the way, is there a chance you could add Spanish characters as well? Like “Ñ” or “Á”. Thanks again!

thanks Andrew, i needed that..

Wow. Not 30 seconds ago, I was looking at the credits on a fake movie poster made for my wedding (had it in a theater, the bulk of the ceremony was a 20-minute musical on the big screen). I used Steel Tongs, which is great, but has some limitations. Never *was* too happy with those credits.

I come here, and you’ve provided this for download. Awesome font, Andrew, and please continue being psychic.

still funny jajaa. You know Andrew… The dynamic your humor gives to the tutorials is priceless as well. It´s really hard to follow others tuts and not get bored after watching yours.

Thanks for the for the font and all the hard work.

Nice! Loving Element 3d by the by:

https://vimeo.com/49997003

Its very good. Thank you.

So… which one of you guys studied typography? Its a lot of work making a font from scratch. For free… ? Are you sure? ‘Cause, ya know, this is a really pretty good font. Especially having been made in Illustrator (not sure how one does that…)

You mean drawn in Illustrator and then forged in FontLab or something?

As mentioned above, Steel Tongs is a great font. I create a lot of movie posters and I use Univers font family most of the time: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/univers/

thx andrew:)

thank you for the thingie!

Thank you my friend. Well, you’re not actually my friend. In fact we have never met. I’m not sure if you have to meet someone to be their friend. Then if the previous statement is to be true, then we actually could be friends. So thanks my friend!

thanks Andrew Kremer

Maybe they traced over the real font in illustrator and came up with this? But thanks for this free font VC

nice font.. thanks Andrew.. ..and nice reference in fake trailer to J.J.Abrams usage of lens flares .. no doubt optical flares

Import Model Element

Very great! Thank you!

Thanks!
So, i guess you’ve done all the derelict/ruined landscapes of Revolution ep2 ?

Flippen cool ! Thanks !

I just finished this poster http://youtu.be/zxWCOLiUTTI for a movie I’m editing. And I was looking for this type of text everywhere , couldn’t find it , it’s like every time I need something videocopilot comes up with it, it was the same with twitch, action essentials , sound fx, that jungle tutorial and the biggest was Element. how are the doing this

Man, you are too strong for all of us.

You’re a beautiful man, Andrew Kramer.

There are also a few “industry” created fonts made specifically for film poster credits like these.

I have a few from work I did years ago on the marketing and dvd side of the film business.

These fonts basically have dual line wording credits assigned to individual characters/keystrokes. For instance, typing lowercase ‘a’ creates the words “written by” split over two lines. If you type uppercase ‘A’ you get an uppercase A at exactly the right/correct height when appearing next to the lowercase ‘a’ dual line credit. They are an absolute lifesaver and can save an enormous amount of time compared to manually typesetting a whole lot of credits.

There are also industry logo fonts which include all the individual studio logos assigned to individual keys (inc dvd/blu-ray logos as well as other logos such as Dolby etc) that you might need when creating artwork such as DVD slicks/posters/ads etc. They too save a heap of time and mean you only need to supply printers etc with one font instead of a folder full of individual logos. It is also very useful if you have multiple artists working in a studio as all you have to do is ensure that every computer/user installs one font to have access to all the elements they might need.

I created one of these logo fonts years ago when I worked as an art director for a large record label, we had all the sub-label logos, compact disc logos etc assigned to individual keys. I also added several ‘hidden’ graphic elements to the font such as an image of our boss (who we all hated) with a leaking ass for a mouth if you hit an obscure key combination such as option+’t’

I’d upload the above mentioned fonts here, but am unsure of the legality of it and don’t want to cause Andrew and co any trouble which might take time away from them doing what they do best!
I’m sure the fonts are out there though, do a search on the net for the following fonts/files which are only a few I can remember off the top of my head;

• BlackMagic Font 3
• Top Billing
• Universal Accreditation
• Mush Font

Good luck hunting!!

I don’t think I’ve met a more generous person then Andrew, Thanks for always taking the time to give.

I once needed this font and I found it by the name of SF MOVIE POSTER on dafont.com – took my like two hous to find it back then..

Hi Andrew

Thanks for the awesome font, a reccomendation that I have is to make the lowercase letters “small caps” so they will be half the size of the uppercase letters. That way, you can typeset your billing block so much quicker.

Thanks again
Eugene

Andrew.
You mentioned that the font was created in Illustrator,
if some of us need these Billing Blocks on a poster or a larger
size frame, could you please offer an Illustrator version of the
file since it is vector based and scalable to infinity?
Thanks for your commitment to us.

Very nice font , Thanks for all things

Great and nice font. Thank you.

Thankx Sir this means to me Alot

Huzzah! Thanks, Andrew!

Thanks a lot Andrew

Ta! So you put the thingie IN the thingie? :p

Could you make a tutorial how to create a cool title sequence? Like the one seen in the Avengers? That would be cool

Andrew Kramer, again taking the little man and giving them the BIG GUNS!
MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT VC TEAM!

Hey great job!

Please don’t forget that people living outside the USA speak other languages, and that these other languages include “special” characters like

é è ë ê (and other vowels, of course

Just saying

You are awesome！！！No man is better than you

OR.. Right click the thingie and install the thingie

Joehoe! I did it! I wanted to create the shattered text effect that animates to another text in Element 3D. I Love this plugin! it’s worth every euro

Hey, Sweet! Thanks Andrew, I’m always looking for things to help sell a fake trailer, and this is just what I needed!

.. Just in case you missed it .. Watch my new 3D stil image … Background lights are done with VC Optical Flare .. The model is done with 3Ds max because of the refletions … This feature is unfortunatly not supported in ELEMENT 3D (because of OpenGL). I hope you will like it .. cheers !

Nice one, Andrew. Have you thought about making it available on Google Webfonts?

in The Big Show-Bowski, how did you overlay the videos and make them look solid?

ANDREW KRAMER YOU ARE AMAZING! thank you!

Thanks for the Font Videocopilot! Already used it today…not a particularly up front visual element but it fit the bill on watermarking this little teaser I made.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Nj7vUqTKHM

Thanks guys! You’re awesome. Much appreciated.

Isn’t it “knock your block off”?

Thanks so much Andrew this is really awesome!

There’s nothing better than free stuff…

…except for free stuff that’s better than store-bought stuff!

Jordan

What license it is distributed under?

When you say “install the font thingie in the font folder thingie”, where exactly I should be installing this again in MacBook Pro? Is it supposed to be in the AE font folder?

JJ Abrams showing off your work Andrew. http://teamcoco.com/video/j-j-abrams-on-his-action-movie-fx-app
I love your app.

The actual typeface used for the majority of film posters is: Univers LT Std 39 Thin Ultra Condensed. The entire typeface is pricy but just this weight and size is about $30USD. Here’s a link: http://www.fonts.com/font/adobe/univers/ultra-condensed-thin-39

There is another free font called ‘Tall Films’ which does exactly the same thing… But thanks video copilot. Now we have two lol

Very funny. I think I let out a little bit of wee :0)

Unfortunately not an ELEMENT 3D project but still motion graphics design .. It’s a promo clip created for a customer. It’s called ELECTRIC CITY .. hope you will like it .. Cheers !

Thanx andy… dont know after affects….. but I know a little photoshop and understand this.. Now I can Steal this and call it my own. well its not actually stealing.

Hey Andrew This stuff is great man!

Andrew I was visiting 32TEN Studios, and I think you did also,
I signed the wall.

IT is weird how halfsheets are so cookie-cutter in this supposedly “creative” industry. I’ve needed this a hundred times in the past. Thank you!!!!

Andrew:

I’m a great fan of your site, your videos, your gags and your products. I think you have been doing an amazing job that will help a lot of independent AV pros out there.

This is proof of it. Some months ago we were editing the trailer for our movie, and it was a REAL PAIN to do a credit Block looked great.

Once again, I found a solution here. We have to do something one of this days. Would be amazing to do a project with you.

Cheers!

Thank you so much Andrew!!

I don’t need this yet, but you just know it will come in handy soon and I will have you to thank for that.

It is great!!!! I just did it old school and for any next project this is awesome! Thanks Andrew!!!!

I asume this comes from Alexander Alexandrov, he have a previous work in font design with “Typograph Pro”. Now they work together in VC.

I think this font is similar to SF Movieposter. Could that be?

Here is a teaser of our current project, an action/scifi film. We used the Credit Block font.

What a cool freebie!

Awesomeballzz. Thanks a looooooot!!!!

Hi Andrew
I am ready to write subtitle for your tutorials for free. I am an English teacher and be sure I can do it without any mistake. This is my job to translate videos without subtitle. Actually I translate them from English to persian but I would be happy if you accept it. Please send me an email if you agree with.

Best Regards
Leila

… another great tool by Andrew. Thanks a lot!

want was the purpose of that! why would any one want to make that! i mean yeah it was funny and even hilarious i laughed so hard i pis my pant’s and that’s not funny so why would you make something like that. please do it again!

Hi Andrew! Thank you for sharing this thingie!!! I used this to make this awesome trailer for my friend’s music video. They were impressed with this video that I’ve made for them especially with the text at the end. Once I am done with this video, I will share the full video. but for now let me share this short trailer. Cheers! Mico Catipon from the Philippines! https://vimeo.com/52841120

Hi, only to say…where are the accents and other symbols for other languages?

best regards

wow, thanks – very very nice !!!

Hey ANDY!!!!!! I would’ve PAID 3 bucks for this template. After effects in not my thing (YET) , but photoshop is, I can Change color of anything to any color you give me using an exact match of the patone system (Or whatever you can imagine )with regards to its luminosity by maximizing efforts in Three color spaces (LAB, RGB , CYMK). HSB is the polar coordinate approximation of the color workspace, similar to LAB, which is a cartesian color workspace, both separating luminosity from color. DAGNABIT enough of my geeky ranting…Thank you ANDY. You are a true gentleman and scholar.
