And when you talk about taking the flourish out to reuse again later, how do you do that?

Hi Andrew just wondering if you knew about this, they have used the evolution animated flourishes, and aslo i think they have used the textures too. it starts at 2:09.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00hsr7s/The_Victorians_Painting_the_Town/

I thought you at least deserved a mention in the credits.

Hey People and Mr. Andrew,

GREAT TUTORIAL at first. But I got a question. How do you rename a layer you selected. Andrew said hit "Return". I am from the Netherlands and I don't know a button called Return. Can someone please help me I really want to know otherwise I can't use the evolution e layer spin effect.

Thank you,

Ruben

Dear Andrew

Adobe should definitely pay you! I would have never bought After Effects if not for you tutorials showing me what I could do and how to do it.

Many thanks for your work. I plan on investing in your DVDs once the budget allows me to.

Greetings from Liechtenstein
by Nille 12/12/2007

Echospace is a wonderful compliment to Evolution.
It allows the growth of the flourishes to move in 3D space very nicely. Add a camera with keyframed
DOF and it becomes a whole nother monkey.

by Darren 11/27/2007
Hi,
Yes,

Either it is a coincidence or the Mary J Ipod Ad is using Evolution.

http://movies.apple.com/movies/us/apple/ipoditunes/home/2007/ipod_itunes_queen_r560-9cie.mov

They Silhouette seems to come from another VideoCopilot Tutorial also perhaps.

Maybe Andrew could also show us how to create the effect of the "Rotoscoping" effect in the ad of Mary J.

I would be very interested also in seeing a technique similar to A Scanner Darkly?

Or is there a way to create a Cartoon "Toon" effect?
cheers

by Leviticus Films 11/19/2007
Hey, i don't know exactly how to get a hold of you guys, but i have an idea for the site. I have watched the tutorials. Sinse there were about nine or so up. But a problem that i run into a lot is the loading time on the movies. i can watch some of the tutorials and then will have to pause it for five minutes or so so that it can load up. If you gave the viewers the option of viewing a text version of the tutorials, it would be easier and quicker. Another reason why it would be better is so that you can follow along on another computer that doesn't have an internet connection. Also, you would not have to look at the video again if you have questions on what to do while you're making your movies.

by Alex 11/16/2007
cool stuff guys!!!
I have a question:

Andrew, can you do the next tutorial about how is possible to do a growing text for example like an animated handwritten text? so we can understand also better the masking technique that I suppose you use also for flourish animations.

Thanks in advance!

Alex from Italy!!!

Awesome, i bought the evolution dvd as well .. and im already using it for a school project .. but i sort of run into a problem here .. i have some steady cam walk and i sort of wanna project the designs on the wall so that they really look like they were drawn on the wall. but for some reason they seam to be floating ... why dont u make a tutorial to show us how to motion track them into real footage on x,y AND z axis ;)

Oh if someone knows how to attach them properly letme know at tornado-dan(at)gmx.de

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

by Bizzy 11/13/2007
Ok ... lemme just say that I've been a regular visitor of this site for almost 6 months, after learning about it.

I've always loved it, but not quite prone to writing stuff here. Just bought the evolution product and I am compelled to write about how incredible this thing is. Andrew is the man ... the products, tutorials, presets, and tips given on this site are unmatched anywhere else.

Thank you very much Andrew ... Seriously
by Jeremy 11/13/2007
once again another amazing tutorial. I ran across your site when i was in iraq, just learning the basics of After Effects. I'm planning on starting a Video Buisness, and when i first started with After Effects i couldnt even figure out how to get the video to play in the main window. Your tutorials have taught me so much. Not only are you teaching, your changing lives. thanks so much!
by Troels 11/13/2007
Hey!

Great Tutorials I must say - Yay!

I was looking at some of your light streaks and light stroke tutorials. What if you combined those streaks and stroke organicly - like if they were coming out of the chest of a human.

And what about objects flying around a human. Like a fly or an surreal object.

Just ideas..

espero cuando se grande ser como vos.
by Leviticus_films 11/09/2007
What you do is incredible. I have seen all the tutorials and constantly turn here for all my film making needs. The online training series is awsome, one question though. Leviticus Films is thinking about opening their own website. What server are you on, and if you don't mind me asking, how much do you pay. Your website is so impressive and is really easy to navigate with. Can't wait for Evolution, already have all the others.

Your crazed fan----Levi

Is you is or is you is not working on a new plugin that allows you to shake images or scenes in a controlled way? I think I remember seeing something like that on your site a short time ago. Is it still available to view? I can't seem to locate it.
by DEX 11/08/2007

Very very nice Mr. Andrew.

Those presets look very hot indeed... I've been slowly working through a piece that achives a lot of those effects that you have so perfectly set up. Can't wait to get my hands on them and take a looky at how they work and speed up my workflow!

You are quite the creative muse.
by Freakshow 11/07/2007

Andrew,

A quick question, how were the flourishes originally created?
by zig 11/07/2007
Andrew -

Yet another shining example of mograph genius from videocopilot.net. Thanks so much for all of your effort, I think we can all understand how much time you put into these tutorials and products. I can't tell you how much time these evolution products will save people. I did a similar animation with growing vectors from scratch and it took forever. Please keep up the good work!

-zig
by Jonathan Rosing 11/07/2007
WOW - This is definitely on the top of my list for stuff to buy! Good job, can't wait for the retail product!!
