Thanks Andrew.

Nice! I like the look of the blood... and the giant rock... the bump map really gives it its realism. One question though... for Raiders of the Lost Ark, how would you do the face melt effect, (or in other words which would be less difficult) mold casting or dummy, or after effects generated?

hi,

can someone help me?:

im gonna make an explosion appear to be behind actor. the actor stands still(whit some little movements)and when i mask it i have to make it around him. and when i play it, it looks weird, couse all the little movements make the mask unmatched whit the actor. and i have to do this frame by frame!!! and his hair are sticking out and that makes it even harder!!

soooo... do you guys have have a tip on what i should do whit the hair, so it looks smooth,and the rest off it. or must i do this the hard way. frame by frame by frame.........

When I do lightsaber fights, will the sounds of when lightsabers strike be heard? Great job.

i found this tutorial a bit to fast to follow thru SLOW EM" DOWn please

@Azza: Action Movie Essentials isn't a preset. It's a collection of images and videos that must be imported before they can be used.

Hey, an interesting alt to using a graphic blood splatter, is to create a particle spray with trapcode with a non visible wall layer and the particles set to stick.

Thank you so much for that tutorial! It really helped me out, and was perfect and easy for me to understand, even though I had no knowledge of Adobe After Effects.
On to the Basics now :]

you're totally WICKED!!!

two thumbs up!

Ye, it is a good job! It likes me.
Thank you, luck...

Hey Andrew, great tut/great work overall, I really appreciate all the work you put into this site...its incredible.

Do you [or anybody?!] have any advice or hints for animating/compositing entry wounds? My subject doesnt cover his wound once he's shot, so I've got to add an entry in there for a solid 3 or 4 seconds.

Any help is greatly appreciated...keep up zee good work!

I just bought Action Movie Essentials, and let me say, it is AWESOME. If you're tossing the idea around in your head, and you've got some action/gore scenes to do, don't delay anymore. It's an invaluable tool, and I think I'm going to get a ton of use out of it.

Okay, plug over, now I have a question. In the project-download of this link, the footage is amazingly clear, and my computer is able to render it nearly INSTANTANEOUSLY, which is quite a feat for my computer. I'm wondering how it was exported that made it so clear and efficient. At this point I consider myself at least a decent animator, but the concept of compression/codec efficiency still eludes me.

Any help would be appreciated.

but anyone has the idea how to make this rock fall on the guy? I'm trying to create something like this but its hard for me. my sphere is on the top of my footage, and it doesn't look realistic, i have no idea how to make this sphere 'in the video'.

Hey dude, this was a very good video. Well done! I was wondering where I can get the blood splatter pictures you used. Can you tell me where did you get them? And, how can I download your tutorial videos? Sorry for the trouble. Thank you.

I like the effect It should have more of a shade to it, in my opinion. But overall its really good. Im using this!!!

i like it ,i stay in china ,my english is bad ,i hope you help me and i like 结交朋� ,thank you !
