Here is an example http://www.rawbot.se/index.html I know that its difficult but you never know... I was watching this video http://www.beam.tv/beamreel/xzPKHmqtYD and I noticed a fabulus animation in the second 48,49 and 50 its very short animation, i suspect its a trapcode effect... well if you have time I would love to show us how sorry for my english... I speak spanish Thanks :D by jovie 07/31/2010 AK, maybe i'm wrong but in your video it looks as if there is a trail of broken wind, similar to how it appears that "The Bullet" is breaking wind as it travails through air only in this case it follows the light streak. i could be totally wrong but in you're tutorial it appears you left that out. i would love to learn how to add this. by brice 07/27/2010 my gf hates you. it is now 2am and im going to bed. now how far on the z axis do i have to cast this orb out to knock her out so i can finish these...hmmm better not test my luck. im hoping for optical flares on xmas.

Your tutorials are just so amazing and your humor is unbeatable. I am just curious that where do you get those genious ideas?

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.

Regards, Feddie by sdfsdf 08/30/2009 A new tutorial is like a new episode of our shows on T.V. This one was awesome. A lot of stuff we can use this for. by Robbin Phillips 08/27/2009 what I like about you is that you do not add your life history into the tutorials and what I hope to get to SOMEDAY is that you know the product inside and out and you just go to the area that you want to do what you want. that old saying anything is easy if you know what to do and you do! good job teach by kraYzie 08/27/2009 Awesome tutorial! This could be integrated with Vanishing point. :) Greetings from Latvia! by keoni 08/27/2009 you have alot of effects in this website by CHabc 08/27/2009 awesome!thanks by jbjb 08/26/2009 Andrew, you are the best by jbjb 08/26/2009 Andrew, you are the best! by John Deere 08/26/2009 Hey Andrew, great tutorials, but you knew that already, didnt you? Anyways, first of all, thanks for all the free stuff. It's probably asking for too much, but I think that if you were to display subtitles, showing the steps, kind of like cornell style notes, it would make remembering the steps easier. That way you could keep track of the steps, and the changes you make as you go along. Anyways, thats my 3 cents. by QUATRO 08/26/2009 Greetings from Lithuania :D Man, Andrew, you rock! Keep up the awesome job! You are the ONE, when it comes to AE training! by zohir 08/26/2009 i am from algeria Andrew, you are my teacher, and you are really really awsome! your tutos are Very Very useful Congratulations And Thanks by Poptastic 08/25/2009 Hi Andrew and team, I've been following your work for quite a little while now and I've gotta break my silence by saying that good things just keep on getting better. The quality of both your products and tuts is, well, the best I've seen ANYWHERE by a HUGE MARGIN. AE is without doubt a complex and staggeringly brilliant product but difficult to master for most of us who are either time poor or too afraid or inept to wildly experiment. And that's where your tuts really get us on the fast track - learning the short cuts and skills in double quick time but never compromising on the quality of the final comp. Under your tutelage, and using my own creativity, I've managed to both deepen and widen my abilities and confidence beyond recognition and this has really helped me stand out (in a very good way) in my work. You are building a formidable body of work here - quality oozes out of every corner of the site and you guys (that's Andrew and the WHOLE VC TEAM) are to be congratulated on what you are achieving. I have the feeling that you're going to continue to pull out all the stops and the journey of discovery we're all on is only going to become even more fascinating and enlightening in the weeks and months ahead, Best, Steve UK by candygirl 08/25/2009 nice tutorials !!! best website ever :D Thanks from brazil by lamarmotte 08/25/2009 Just completely amazing- Thank you so much for showing that to us!

F. by ilzmaster 08/07/2009 @ Steven Warren Yea, I'm also on an earlier verion of Particular, v1.5.

I also was wondering how did you build up that distortion behind the energy source. is it same kind of technique which we saw on tutorial number 78 Energy wipe? Do you use simply turbulent displace? Is that also attached somehow to that light source or is that distortion 3D at all? Anyway Great great work! Keep it coming! by Jordan 07/31/2009 Another great tut, keep the inspiration flowing.

Thank you very much. I've been waiting for that kind of tutorial for a long time. I'm noticing that you've raised up the level, meaning that you do all the stuff quickly without explaining some basic stuff and I find this nice. Gives more time for the important things. Thank you very much for what you're doing. Keep up the good work. You're a legend now ;) Regards from Bulgaria (it's funny how often we use BG as BackGround, while it also represents my country) by junior 07/31/2009 impressionante, todos aqui no brazil amam o seu trabalho, continue sempre assim, obrigado!!!! by tresfx 07/31/2009 Amazing as usually!!

I fell silly by Nick Chislett 07/31/2009 Hey mate, Really great tutorial! Love your work! Just wanted to ask, I noticed in your demo as the energy ball flew by the street it distorted the background a bit, like it was affecting the street with some sort of a bulge or something... Is that right? I didn't see that covered so I wasn't sure if that's just a finishing touch you added... Great stuff buddy! by Hafeez 07/30/2009 The only AK tutorial which has only 1 funny moment :) otherwise this was an action packed Tutorial just like the Action 2 DVD. One thing to appreciate is the way you show how do things with and without 3rd party plugins. Also was wondering if we can add 1 more plane perpendicular to the ground plane and casts lights on the car's nearby to increase the realism. Maybe you want us to try that out !! Thankx AK. by Kira 07/30/2009 Thanks! Andrew another awesome tutorial xd... by Alexandre 07/30/2009 Hello Andrew, Thank you from France for your greats tuto. I like your style and the way you speak (my english is not very good but i understand all what you say !) I'm a wedding filmmaker and videographer.

Me and my siblings are making a movie for my Grandpa who just ended his fight with cancer. This effect really helped us a lot.

Is this how it will turn out in the movie? -Thanks so much! by Venkatx5 07/30/2009 Great Work Andrews.. Keep Going..

I'm wondering - really as a point of theory - why it's necessary to do all that reverse tracking. Couldn't you track the original camera shake, apply it to a null and then parent the AE camera to that null (after setting it's original position and orientation)? I'm sure you thought of that and there must be some reason, but it's escaping me. Thoughts? by dff 07/30/2009 awesome! by FXT 07/30/2009 Awesome man! Simply awesome!!
