Hi Andy,
Need help.
if you have exhausted all the Groups in the Element and still want to add more stuffs in Element, what would you do ?
Cus, I tried duplicating the solid that has the Element effect on it but didn't work.
H.E.L.P M.E P.L.E.A.S.E...

Andrew is the first shoot on the train made with LiveCam? Your plug-in you once talked about it.
I hope this is done with 3DS Max! I have looked at other people's tutorials and none compare to Videocopilot! I'm sure this will be a great tutorial!
Wow!! This looks great and right up my alley! I definitely want to learn how to do something just like this. Bring it on, guys!!!!

Seems to be an other very exciting tutorial !
Would it be possible to add, into your tutorials, some clues about the sounds used. Cause I thing they are not all in Action Essentials or Designer Sound FX or Pro Scores.
From France with love !

Hey VC Team, hey Andrew,
we all know you are busy. But, is there a release date in your mind? To check your site 10 times a day sucks a bit.

It's clear that's a 3d explosion...maybe FumeFx... so there's no way I'm going to be able to do that in Blender 
Doritos used action essentials for explosions in this Super Bowl commercial http://youtu.be/8IXzDDsgOS8

I would love to learn to get that kind of realism in an explosion. And with Andrew's tutorials, you can always take more time and maybe do a bit better than the example. Though, I hope when he says "No Element 3D" he just means he's not using a tool that makes it so easy it's practically cheating. All's fair in video FX, I say.
The explosion is real, the tutorial is actually how to make it look like somebody has fallen over by using a green screen and animating position and rotation. Andrew's just trying to throw us off the scent by digitally removing the explosion and then playing the breakdown backwards. There's no pulling the wool over our eyes!

Re: more tutorials please!
Dear Andrew, I haven't actually counted them, but it appears as though you, Andrew, have made about one billion AE tutorials -- and you are, by far, the best instructor.
I know you are busy Andrew, but PLEASE make more tutorials showing what can be done with your new product. Perhaps a Lynda.com-type series that goes through the basics. And then other tutorials showing how to incorporate AE tools (such as Particle Playground, lighting, green screened videos, etc.) with Element 3D. You made such great tutorials for AE, now you need to make them for E-3D, maybe a few short ones every week. The best advertisement for your new product would be extensive tutorials (by you) showing the fantastic things that can be done with E-3D.
And would all of the enthusiastic followers who have written to this blog please consider making (long or short) tutorials showing how you have used it. There are just too few tutorials out there right now for a novice like me to learn how to use Element 3D. Thanks bunches!

Re: more tutorials please!
Dear Andrew, 6 months ago I signed up for Adobe's subscription plan and I have spent almost every hour since learning After Effects using YouTube tutorials. I haven't actually counted them, but it appears as though you, Andrew, have made about one billion AE tutorials -- and you are, by far, the best instructor. I have just purchased a more powerful computer to handle 3D in AE, and I will soon be buying Element 3D, but I have a problem: there aren't enough tutorials on E-3D.

Thank you again Sam for all your tireless and self-sacrificing work. So, for how many takes did the director make you fall down like that? Are you going to renegotiate your acting contract? Are you going to demand a teddy bear stunt double for some of your future action scenes? That looked like a hard fall. I hope you didn???t get hurt too bad. Next time, make Andrew take the dirt dive. It his turn right?
Does this also mean that you will ask for stock footage now from the fans?

You forgot about the reflection on the train and the smoke shadows,
And sam's rotoscope isn't blurry enough for his hand part.

And sam's rotoscope isn't blurry enough for his hand part.
particle effect with large sprites based on explosion, same for smoke, plus 2d explosions bisecting the particle field. Lens flare, one frame coloured solid with screen blend mode. Ground plane with camera mapping so that the explosion runs along the ground plane.
Or using several instances of spherize tool with explosion sprites, tons of ways you can go,

I would love to see something like this, but a complete start to finish with creation of the assets in 3ds Max (modeling, texturing, export) all the way to compositing in AE. Obviously I can't be picky cuz it's free training, but I would love to see that. I'd definitely pay for that.
Either way, thanks for making such great (and free!) training!

Yeah, maybe FumeFX or stock footage. But in the beginning of that explosion, maybe Andrew used Optical Flares and masked the wagon. After that, put it together with 3D camera track plugin.
