Actually, I'm wondering if there's a way to create a blinking effect? I have a monster in my film and it needs to have big black eyes, the eyes are easy to make. But it's so unbelievable without the blinking. Any advice?
by King 03/09/2008
Sweet! But is there a way to make it blink?

Thx for teaching me, your tutorials are not only extremely professional but also very easy to follow and man, you are the man!

I was about to pay for a training in ae (which by the way I still find a solution for that) but this series gave me the basics I was looking for and lots of extras. Gotta love video copilot. Good luck to u all!

Me and some friends at work decided to try out another one of AK's tuts. The last one we tried was the Demon Face (Gimme the Ding Dong!) This one we are putting our spin on the "Eyeball" tutorial. You're an inspiration Andrew, thanks for the tutorials! Couldn't do it without you.

Hi, awesome tutorial as i previously mentioned. I have a request, can you make a tutorial with the special effect from the movie "Jumper"? Or flying tutorial from the movie "Matrix". Btw is there a way of making the bullet-time without having to spare 180 cameras? Even if you have to reduce the fps or sth

by Brandon 01/20/2008
Hey Andrew, I don't know if you'll ever get to reading this, but ever since I have been watching your tutorials I have been expecting that you would make a tutorial based from one of the most influential visual effects movies of all time. That being The Matrix. I mean if you did anything at all from that movie it would be amazing. But I think what I would like to see done most of all is the famous slow motion bullet dodging scene when Neo is being shot at by an agent and dodges all the bullets except one. I guess its the cool camera angles that make that shot so original. Or you could do a tutorial on the scene where Neo's mouth is melded shut by one of the agents after Neo flips off agent Smith. Or you could even do a tutorial on how to make someone fuse into the body of someone else like agents do. You could even do the cool wall rippling effect that appeared in the helicopter crash scene. So thanks for reading, I can't express how refreshing it is to see someone post free online AE tutorials that are actually practical.
