altitude when he was testing the suit.

Thanx for the tutorial sir

Great Tut, oh and thanks Scott, bailed me out big time :D

by Scott 02/11/2009
Hey ThomJohn- I had the same problem and even posted it here - discovered you have to be sure and have "square pixels" selected when you create the layer(s) for the targeting circles. Also make sure the "aspect ratio locked" box is not checked. Changing to "square pixels" seemed to solve the problem for me.

hey andrew, im an aspiring AE user and this website has definitly helped me get to where i am now

ive watched every second of all your vids over the past year, and i must say, that you've taught me more then my actual classes has taught me. Now i'm starting to make my own amateur films and i use the skills you taught me every time I use AE, i would just like to personally thank you for all that you've done


o, and this is my 2nd favorite tutorial next to the energy tutorial.

KEEP IT UP!!! :8D

awesome Andrew!!!

Great tutorail thanks

Thanks for very good tutorial

I'm from Brazil.

hey cool tut. I just wanted to say... it isn't mentioned in the vid but if you go to stylize glow it can give your HUD some very cool luminous colours. (Only tested on target).

Thanks.

this is awesome. Is there any reason in particular that when my selections of circles rotate on the z axis they transform from a circle to an oval?

You are the best!!!!

Awesome demo, however when I add the rotations in aftereffects my circle becomes an oval. How can I rectify this.

thats was awesome except i was tring to render it and when i did everything go mixed up like for example the gid went up and covered the top of the the video just every like moved from its original spot

Another sick Tutorial, i totaly needed this one thanks man

Really clean voice, nice jokes, and really good and pro tutorials! Thanks!

Hello everybody:
Months after the Iron Man movie is released, and months before that this tutorial is released, some TV serials used similar tricks to the Iron Man HUD, such as:

1. Stargate Atlantis: The Lost Tribe episode

http://www.atlantisarchive.com/gallery/?p=screen-caps/atlantis/season5/511/08

or

http://morjana-subductionleadstoorogeny.blogspot.com/2008/11/stargate-atlantis-mgm-stargate-new_13.html

or

http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Heads_up_display

2. The Middleman: The Clotharian Contamination Protocol episode

http://swizzmizz.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=206

Awesome cool man...
I've seen this photoshop tut: http://abduzeedo.com/ironman-view-interface-effect-photoshop

But this is beyond and above.

Ps. To the people commenting... try to bring something new, don't just spill, "Hey! Look at me! I'm commenting" Pretty soon there will be no more space for comments like the above...

Teach me

Great

i need to download also

Nice tutorial Andrew! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best one yet for me. You Sir, are a king among men!

Great tutorial!
Just one thing : hungarians don't look like afghan terrorists or rebels or anything like that ,like in the IRONMAN movie even people in Hollywood think this.But it's just another thing.
I like the tutorial.

Futuristic HUD Project link is not work.

That´s the best way to keep people into the after effects enviroment, thanks for all the fantastics tips

not bad kramer,not too bad..

Wow, that is amazing. I am trained in Avid, and the tools in this app are so much more intuitive than Avid FX. I may just have to jump ship and tell my boss it was best for the company!

Have you ever done any UFO footage that looks realistic or taken old video of UFOs and clean them

preved from ukraine ^_^

Hey andrew i think it will be good if you make a tutorial, when a carr or somthing is coming out of frame, like out of a picture or a tv:)

Love this tutorial. Im having a bit of a problem tho. After i ALT click on the Z rotation my circle warps as if it moved in 3D space. Any tips or help to fix it?

Kramer, great job as usual. I had to make a bunch of these high-tech screens for a... mature romance film a year ago, and your expressions would have saved me hours. The mustache at the end was priceless - if your buddy grows a real one, maybe we can get him work in the mature romance film industry. Cheers and thanks again for the tutorials.

Thanks Andrew!

wow great tut and really long feed back i think the feedback here is longer as the tut itself just kidding keep on always fun

Learning on your work. Thank you very much. Alex from Russia

great now you guys can dial in from nerd headquarters!

very good

umm how do i get dat program?? lolx

Andrew Thanks for the Tutorial! You is a fantastic professional!

!Thanks from Brazil!

Continue your journey of sucess!

Haha!! Very cool!! Thanks from Brasil!

Hey Andrew,

I'm not older than dirt but I am in my late forties and I just started using After Effects when I read about your website on Digital Juice's forum. I watch every tutorial and I love your comments, jokes and jabs that you make. They make your tutorials so entertaining and joking about Sam, the way you do, really shows how much you care about him. You guys must be great friends and that's awesome to see as well. Not to get too mushy but thank you is not enough to say but right now it's all I have. The HUD tutorial made me giggle like a little school girl. I have several HUD graphics but the one thing I really loved was the way you "called up" the targeting sysetem and the green display and illuminated Sam's face. The whole tutorial, like the others, is priceless. Thank you so much for not only teaching us a great program but entertaining us as well. You're the best.

Take Care,
Steve

Hi Andrew,

tutorials are great. One thing I notice this time is you went way much faster tahn the other times. It is a very good thing because keep in mind that we "students" have all the time we need to rewind your videos. So the faster you you go, the more information we get ! I personnaly would love to see an "ultra-compex" project involving as many skills as possible !
Thanks again for your help.
Pierre (french living in morocco)

You are simply El Maestro!

Followed all of your tutorials up until this one, I looooove your stuff, it's about to get me a job with warner bros. ha ha awesome!! yes I know I'm not meant to do this but I just have to, there's a big thread that you're reading in the forums about the servers being down, cleared cache on both my browsers and re-opened them and still nothing, any ideas andrew?

wow awesome dude. even for people who are technologically capable, your creativity astounds even the most proficient users. thanks for sharing.

Amazing this is awesome. Andres Kramer you're the Best.

amazing, andrew!!!

finally, I get to be an astronaut with this tut!
Thanks alot Andrew, great stuff.

Whey cool AK, thanks a mil for this stuff.

can't say anything
you are the best andrew

I was wondering if there is a way to download all the tutorials on this page. Could be nice to have if, god forbidd, anything should happen to the site.

pretty fun, it's interesting to see the differences in work flows, I did mine about 6 months ago tho.

http://vimeo.com/1518322

would have been awesome if i could have collaborated.

sorry font find this one udeful :P

in fact i think the first tutorial where very useful but in these las time i dont think so.

sorry

Nice tut! But a have a question: How can we make the rotation on the Y axis looks exactly the same on the movie using the motion tracker tool. Is it possible using After Effects or do we have to use Boujou?

Thanx for your great work Andrew!

Great andrew U R An expert man
Thanks 4 your Efforts
All Egypt thank you

Excellent tutorial, my only problem is that my After Effects, when I am making the targeting system, and I try to rotate the circle, it makes it into an ellipse and it screws up the whole thing - any idea how to fix that?

A ROUND OF BIG APPLAUSE FOR ANDREW SIR !!!!!!
Thank You Sir!!! your tutorials open ups our minds!!

awsome tutorial!!!! could you do one on fire?

that was fun: http://vimeo.com/3025259

Thank you! ,woooow awesome tutorial!!

Greetings from Mexico! =)

Awesome work as always, this looks pro

you could pass off as the guy who does the special effects in iron man!!!

Actually I loved your first release "Heads Up!" before to christmas... I love your style and creativity but this tutorial doesnt look like a robot.. SAM so far to the camera... very huge perspective... But your "Heads Up" release realy look like an Iron Man... Despite everything, thank you for this...

Hi Andrew, You are so so crack.

But in this moment i need to make explodin a car that is moving to a videoclip project and i need your help.

Thanks for all.

Awesome! Really inspiring!

Thanks Andrew!

Greetings from Sweden! :3

Great jop Kramer

awesome! thanks andrew!

Hi Andrew, big fan.
I wish you could make a tutorial like this, but, with the HUD projected on a car windglass (the front glass, lol) with camera tracking and some stuff, as seen on the futuristic film "Children of Men"
it will be nice to see and learn how to do something like that.
My best regards.

Great tutorial for execution of the elements needed to complete the effect but i felt in no way that it actually looked like he was in the suit. I think thats one of the tricks, you want enough of his head in the shot for the full scope of the effect but if you leave to much space around his head (also depending on different focal ratios) it just looks like he is in a black room. Great tutorial though.

Você é o cara!
Big guy!!!!!!!

This is soooo cool, I must say I am a Ironman fan, and to see how that effect was done is great. Thanks so much Andrew for making it possible for someone like me who is new to After Effects, so easy to function in it.

thanks for another great tutorial :)
its so great I'm watching it at school ^^

My favorite is the motion tracked mustache.
You should try a tutorial with the mustache and the sunglasses from the Demon-face tutorial.
Love all of your tutorials, keep up the good work.

definetly one of your funniest tutorials :D

Nice tutorial

thanks

This tutorial may very well have been the best so far to show what After Effects can really do. So many effects from other tutorials have been tied into this one to make something quite amazing.

I do hope you, and the others in your team, make some money off all this hard work.

I believe buying some of your products is in order to assist you in getting some cash, just as you assist us in getting some knowledge.

Thank You!

wowwwwwwwww Andrew kramer thank you for tutorial

Hi
It's very Nice and good

Now the only thing to Do,
is to build a Super Suit.

I did something like this a few months ago... also inspired by Iron Man!

http://vimeo.com/1912400

It's all tracked on to the eyeball here... so it's not done like in this tutorial! Still, great tips and tricks there.

Andrew you are the Gog from down under australia I can tell you that you are a GOD

LOL AT 3$ tshirt hahahahahahaa nice tutoria

Sweet I have been waiting for this!!!
Love it Andrew.
Great Job

Very Nice! I thought it would be more complicated! Andrew, that´s amazing! And Sam is a really good Actor ;)
What´s next??? :D

Wow, that's so inspiring :)
Thank you a lot Andrew!

Greetings from Brazil

LOL! "3 dollars tshirt!" nice.

ANDREW KRAMER ROCKS!

Oh Andrew, any tipps / hints for how to make the sequence with sam? Did you filmed in darkness oder greenscreen? Masked him out before?

Awesome Tutorial Andrew! I will use it in a different way, currently creating a combination between HUD and Earth Zoom.

thx for all the tips bro >;)

I'll keep supporting you, by buying your products!
Amazing tuut...again! Hope you keep on going!

Thanks from Poaand :)

Awesome! I just did it and the outcome is neat!
Best overall tutorial site i've ever seen.
Keep doin it !

Nice very nice that's how the ironman movie looks like it on your tutorial. rock on

once again. andrew rocks!!!

there is some way to do a realistic drop of water in AE? its someting that blow my mind long time ago!

yeah!

This is awesome. You read my mind, I was going to suggest you do a tutorial on something similar to the iron man effect. Well done dud. This is really amazing.

One more thing, you should do a preset on the effects we see on Sky news, when they are showing, whats coming up, like floating panels.

Thanks

Great tutorial and great impression!

EXCELLENT TUTORIAL !!
Already had to pick up my jaw from the floor when I watched the Iron Man BluRay extras on this ... and now a VCP tutorial ...
It's the little things in life that do it! HEHE!

BTW, a quick other (and more controllable) way to create the target : Instead of a sequence of masks, I'm using a layer with contains a Circle (controllable in radius and thickness), and a Radial Wipe (to cut out the circle parts).
Sticking a wiggle on the transition completion then also gives me a circle element that grows and shrinks in length.

Already looking forward to the next tutorial!
Congrats !!

Been waiting FOREVER for a tutorial like this. I shall now pass my video production class! lol

I come for the tutorials, I stay for The Sam. An eye reflection would have only ruined those beautiful browns, and they were simply mesmerizing. I don't know what you're paying the man, but you need to double it! He's simply selling your tutorials!

WHOOP WHOOP!!!

Is is sad that I knew where the music was from before you said it?

robocop came out 20 years ago not 10

Wow Andrew, another awesome tut, i was waiting 4 it, thanx.

Keep good work

n.n

LOL just Amazing u just know how to take it to the next level.

damn , ur the best ever ...


thx man

LA ENMIENDA SI VA... and good tut too...

at the rate you were going i thought this one would be 2 hours. depressed...

*you like like that = would you like that

I think Sam is getting pretty pissed off that you're always making fun of him.

How about you motion track a moustache on yourself Andrew, you like like that? WOULD YOU?

I thought so.







Jokes. <3 VC.

Ho Ho HO Andrew Kramer God Job, God Bless.

thanx video copilot

Thank you!

it's Great!

Awesome!!!

Greetings from Poland ;)

OMG! this tutorial comes just in time. I have this footage of an old demented lady putting her head inside a microwave and..naww..just kidding.
Thanks again for this awesome tutorial. I'm always overexcited to see you made something new that has stuff I can learn from. I first view your tutorials with a can of soda in one hand and a bag of chips in the other around 8pm, then after washing my greasy fingers I open up my AE and try to duplicate what you did and look at the clock and see it's 4 am already. time flies when you're having fun.
I consider you as one of my best friends Andrew...well..no you ARE my best friend... my only friend actually, I don't get out much..working hard on mastering this stuff..
I salute you AK

Superb! Just like all the other tut's :D
Like that you try to make something like Ironman :P Love that film!

Only fonts missing from the .aep file. Can't you upload all of your fonts? Would be so nice

cool thanks a lot man..

Thanks AK!! Great expressions tips!!!

Great tutorial Andrew. This looks wicked. I can't wait to write a Sci-Fi script and put this in there. Excellent job......now, if I can just get myself to look as cool as Sam, I'll be good to go. I might even grow a moustache for the gig....much easier that tracking one in....

AWWWWWWWWSSSSOOOOMMMMMMMMEEEEEEE......!!!!!
thank you so much Mr.ANDREW...

Very Nice!

incredible, great tutorial with tons of new multi purpose lessons...

I have been looking forward to this one. Awesome.

Training is very interesting. Thank you!

that was great. I actually never thought of a HUD as being compositing it is amazing all the things that After Effects can do, with Andrew Kramer at the keyboard of course.

SWEET ITS HERE!!!! :D

I think Robocop was a bit more than 10 years ago.

Hahahaha! Love it! I think you should mess with Sam on a tutorial telling him he's it it for XXX this reason and use him for something totally different and funny! Keep up the great and wonderful work!

cool, finally, i like tutorials that use footage as opposed to those that only use after effects.

i cant wait to watch it!!

wow this is awesome thanks so much….HUD HUD HUD

Very interesting tutorial! Thanks!

i love u

This is sooo cool!
