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 :)!

And Andrew Kramer Said.....

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

Dex

Nice one!
"Two orbes!" :D

Excellent!!!

Very nice, good to see your back with nice tuts...you are the best at making tutorials out there, very well spoken give us enough time to pause for a sec to catch up with you, keeping it light...wish you had a photoshop or dreamweaver tutorial dvd...the others I have bought are garbage..not everyone should speak on there tuts...ya know?

This is Uber nice.
Thank you Andrew the guru.

Hi i need some help here, i can't open the project file, as i only have after effects version CS2, can't afford to upgrade. Help!

Fu.... awesome

cheers man, from all back here in Brazil

Awesome like always!

And thanks for the laughs.. it's been a long night trying to make a deadline.

hey Andrew. just wanted to let you know. I owe my career to you and your website. Thank you so very much!!!!! I love all of you tutorials. i bought your SFX library. Every motion graphics designer should have your sound effects library. A swoosh and a woosh for every occasion.
Thanks for everything!
Bryan

Andrew, Your My Favourite , but not in that way :)

I wanna be more peoples like you !

Good Job, Good Tutorial...! 100 stars !

I don't understand this program, but i'm watch your videos with pleasure !

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!

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.

Ivan Leon

Thank you Andrew!
I LOVE YOU

again and again and again again
thx

wow wow v.. another great tutorial. thanks.

what program must i have to can watch the tutorial?I have Adobe Player 10 but still can't..

Hi Andrew you're very fantastic!!!

Greetings from Italy!!!

evry tutorial very good....a fan from italy

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

thx man awsome

nice tutorial, as usual :D and laughed about the ending, haha those damn orbs wasent the real andrew skilled thing, they where something new :P :P :P

God bless you, Andrew!
You don`t have a gift... you are a gift.
Great job!

Love your tutotials.
Love your humours, LOL!

Thanks Kramer!!

Very cool
Thanks so much

Cool.. now can you show us how to rotoscope lipstick onto a pitbull?

HAHAHAH I LOVE ANDREW! WHAT A COMEDIENT! HAHAHAH ITS SOO FUN TO WATCH!!!

thank you man!!! you have your place guaranteed in designers heavens you are my savior man! hahahaha
