Your tutorials are just so amazing and your humor is unbeatable. I am just curious that where do you get those genious ideas? I mean have you studied AE for a long long time or how do you manage to set up those amazing things? Anyway I hope that you will be able to make a bunch of more tutorials in the future because you really are the chosen one for this job. PS: Could you think about making an AE tutorial based on golf somehow? Maby a powerfull drive, bunker shot or something like that. But that is just a proposal, nothing fancy.
