Ammmmmmmmaaaaaazing work kramer :)!! Im a HUGE fan of yours, Loved your DVD's!! Just wondering if you could create a tuto for growing flame or electricity generated from the hands like in heroes or so, thought about using a combination of camera focus [Through AE] a bit of slow motion and inks from riot gear to make the flame from hands effect, Altho would suck that it isnt in real time. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post but yeah, Good job kramer :)!

thanks man.
what's with this POG thing, everytime there is a reference to it like "POGed with the stick". when do you finally reveal that big secret about your new project?

be the way in the FRINGE there also some references like S.E.KRAMER MANUFACTURING etc. Did you think of that, huh? :)

by the way, is there gonna be a tutorial on how you did the FRINGE intro?

greetings from Germany

by Kael 11/10/2008
Oh man, those last fifteen seconds had me laughing harder than I have in a good while. Haha, great stuff, Andrew, and a good tutorial as well!
by IvanSW 11/10/2008
Hi Andrew!
A great tutorial as always.

I want o ask you something I guess many people are gonna be interested knowing the answer to.
What camera would you prefer working with? Since this question depends of many variables I want to focus it this ways.
Let´s suppose that you are asked to propose a new TV series in a local network, it is low budget, but they wish to make it something between “Supernatural” and “Heroes” in terms of style and use of special effects, and they ask you to come with a trailer of 5 minutes of ideas and concepts, lots of cool effects, look for color and texture of the picture, etc.

They give you 6 months for you to work in it, you have only two people for staff, a basic set of lights only able to light small interior places, a couple of actors, some locations (houses of friends of the producer, basically) and they give you to choose a camera HDV of any kind, of up to $10,000 dollars in value, at this stage you can´t buy or use any complements or extras for the camera, like optical lenses, filters, etc.

Now, which camera would you pick and why?

I have a couple of propositions, would you pick anyone of them or would you go with another.

Canon XL H1
Panasonic P2
JVC GY-HD100

I know this question is very hard, since each camera accomplishes different things, but I want to know what Andrew Kramer would use.

Thanks for sharing all that knowledge with us.

evry tutorial very good....a fan from italy
by Gareth 11/11/2008
Thanks Andrew.

One problem I notice is the light from the 'energy' drops off sharply on the left.

I realise this is because of edge of the layer.
Is there any way around this beyond making the layer larger. I get this a lot when using trapcode shine. It would be great if it could 'spill' over to the other layers
by oras 11/11/2008
thx man awsome
by johan 11/11/2008

I'm from Portugal and a couple of days ago I saw a tv show about cristiano Roaldo in a portuguese channel (SIC). And guess what, they had the same energy wipe you did... Just changed the text. As you see, you're an influence even to tv channels. Cheers
