Here it is! A brand NEW Tutorial! Wow snap.  Let me tell you it, feels good to get stuff finished and I look forward to show you all of the things we have been working on!

New Tutorial Features:

• Procedural Glitch design
• Build a realistic reflective surface 100% inside AE!
• Unique Color glow procedure
• Ability to animate between different titles

Watch on Youtube in HD!

Project files and Texture!

Technical Rendering Note: I’ve heard some people having issues with Fractal Noise not rendering correctly and I think you need to disable GPU Acceleration for the Project. File>Project Settings, “Mercury Software Only”. Hope that helps!

Let’s keep the momentum going! A new tutorial for Monday will explore a new technique that can be used to create interesting FX like this Stretchy Glitch  with only built-in plug-ins. This combination offers a ton of variety and customization compared to typical RGB splitting techniques.

Plus the reflective floor trick is 100% AE too and will work for anything!

Hey what’s up! Yes, the pressure to make cool new stuff continues but yesterday I sat down with Chris Do to discuss work, life and the difficulty trying (and sometimes failing) to balance many ambitious projects at once! We also talk about Plug-ins, projects, intercept and my goals for 2018!

The truth is, I should have been more open and honest these passed months. The truth is, there really is lot of pressure to make cool things and I’ve been struggling with it.

All I wanted to do was SHOW you what we have been working on and not tell you about it. I really miss the fun side of VC and I’m working on bringing it back for good!

Here is another bonus interview with a mini-tour of Video Copilot with my friend Andrew Price!
