Hey,

Im loving the tutorials, they are so helpful!!! Lately though im not sure if its my computer or another problem but it seems like the vid tutorials after page one say either "video not found" or "not allowed to view this video"

im asking this cause there are a couple tutorials that i was woking on like the eye displacement, other than that AWESOME JOB and thank you so much for showing how to make sick effects!
by Martin 10/18/2009
hi andrew nice video its amazing the feeling of seeing something like that so real... i have only one idea i think or critic maybe but its only something that i thought can you try to iluminate the brake light of the truck?? that makes the video more real i think... :D

Is it possible to key out the legs by putting a greenscreen or maybe some cheap blanket (for safety :P) on the floor instead of doing masks frame-by-frame?

Poem for you..

In the 21st century,
there were four great schools of creative thought
some people practice Rabinism
others practice Larsenism
better still, others practice Stenism
I practice Kramaism

Great tutorial, and you're funny tooo
by Robert Kennedy 04/09/2009
Again, great tutorial/tutorials, I watch them religiously! One question, I followed your green screen tips to the letter and then tried experimenting, every time I use Keylight, my blacks and sometimes whites get REALLY noisy. Any suggestions would be awesome, thanks.
by jafar 04/08/2009
thaks to all members it was really cool
by FriTTe 04/06/2009
(Y) thats all i can say
by Fatih 04/06/2009
I'm very glad and thankful for this great tutorial.

By the way I think you overlook the detail that when the car hit Sam, Sam's right leg did not stick to the car. Doesn't it would be more realistic, if we also put puppet pin to his right leg?
Don't get me wrong please :) I don't even know how to use ae.
by Bilal Bitweni 04/03/2009
Thanks for the tutorial Andrew

Nice Tutorial.
Why don't you just hit him real with a car. Then you would have 2 problems solved. 1) How to make it look real and.... well... I think YOU know what the other problem is :P

But many thanks for this tutorial and the others.
