Andrew Kramer, you are my idol. Everyone at my school is impressed with a movie I made using 3/4ths of your tutorials.

Thanks again!

dilshad from kurdistan
thank you man your doing great job

Nice tutorial!

hi...these tutorials are very cool..maybe the coolest one..actually your every tutorial deserve to be said like that...anyway my point is that if there was a blood splatter effect on the camera lens as in the first video which is shown at the beginning of the video(with blur or something you used(i dont know)),it would be perfect..i think you miss that Andrew or you think that it's very easy to do that..maybe for you but for me,its a bit challenge..i hope and i wish that you will launch a short tutorial or something about it...we all love you man,you're our hero..keep up the good work..

very very super effect
thankyou

you are our teacher ANDREW .i hope to reach your level hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
thank you very much superhero

super really super Thanks......

thank you very much

it only goes up to a certain point then cuts off

Hey Andrew

Du bist der absolute Mann

Thanks and greetings from Bavaria, Germany

Nice , but it can't be believed......

before i even watch this tut. i gotta say. i love you man

hello videocopilot.net this site is veryyyyy wonderful site and i see this all effects by from pakistan

Thanks Andrew...
it is Nice.....but people don't just blow off and disappear just like that....there should be bigger fragment or chunk of body piece lying on the floor ....don't u think so......

Like the suicide tutor, the body without the head should be lying on the ground after the suicide ........thought that it will really make it more realistic and convincing

Greetings from Nigeria

I come from China and ilove you

it`s so amazing......

awesome... when I look back 10 years and see how much the CG world progressed...

great!!

WOW...

Thanks, Its really Helpful and intresting.

yeha... mil gracias, y en cuanto tenga una lanita te juro me hago de tus vfx.

I don't have that CC Drizzle effect!?!? (I have After Effects CS4) How do I get it?
Thanks!

Tyler

great stuff, I really like those simple method for creating such scenes. pretty straight forward!

Thanks AK!
you are the best man!

the first time i visisted by myself in search of quality and comparison betweenthe effcts used and created in maya and affter effect, but i need to say it really impressive, and would like to have suggestions that the effects created by maya is more quality driven and works on actual visualization in our mind or affter effect output.
i shall be very much thankful for this reply.

ashishmohan

Very cool!
There're tons of layers in this tutorial.
Thank you Andrew.

so very generous of you andrew.. thanks from Pakistan.

Thanks so much AK! I've been waiting for a tutorial with lightning!
Keep up the good work!

Awesome Andrew!! Its like Distric 9!!

Thank you very much

@Karl ;)
Stop drunk typing!

@ Andrew Kramer
Thanks for keeping it coming. Only thing I don't like about your site is that I drop by for a quick refresher on a technique and get sucked into some new whizbang tutorial you just posted. 30 minutes off the project clock chalked up...

Wonderful tutorial! What more can we say....... You're the best Andrew. Keep it up dude! God bless.......

skeet skeet boobada skeet....
very nice andrew...or should i say drew Ha wink wink

Gracias por los proyectos

You R AWESOME

Nice work. But can you do the same with fire? OK. I know you can. I would just like to see a TUT on that.

i wanna pinch your tuts!

andrew ayye oya nam patta ..haloooo

Awesome tutorial and effects! Looking forward to part 2 =)

Enjoyed it very much. Looking forward to the sequel. Cheers!

The blood effect reminds me of District 9!!!
AMAZING!!!

Thank you very much Andrew. This tutorial is great and very helpful to create more elements within a scene!!!

I have a question for you.

I am going to make a short film about Coffee and I would like to know if there is any possibility to create a title sequence as Sweeny Todd in AF without using Realflow!!!

Instead of blood I would like to create Coffee with foam..

Any Suggestions Mr. Kramer?

Thank you in adcance

very great andrew go ahead

amazing it looks so realistic

Great tut...Should have had Sam holding a trash can that was suspended for just a sec after he was blasted then falling to the ground. (Sam taking the trash out in a lightning storm seems like a pretty believable scene.) Great stuff....Action Essentials II just came in the mail Friday... Woooooo!

Thank you so much Andrew!!!

Nice work Andrew!
Just wanna say that i found a cool way to crate realistic blood in Ae.
thank you so much!

hey andrew , great tutorial , thanks very much , from iran

i cant see any emotions in the video :/
nice effects but not frighting or any emotions

it's like when you listen music from the pc or live in a stadium... if u know what i mean andrew...

Great tutorial as always!!! :D LOVE IT!

Does anyone know what kind of microphone Andrew is using? I love the sound quality. Thanks in advance!

b.t.w. lol @ Womens Underwear xD

Where can we send some flowers to the Sam´s family??

Hey Andrew.....this is again a very nice tutorial no need to say..I hope Sam must be fine:)...and congrats in advance for your hundredth tutorial..wish you all the very best from India...

great tutorial, Andrew! Maybe you could try like a human torch or something for your hundreds? that would be awesome!

Oh Sam, I feel sorry for you, great tut, thank you

:O es impresionante :O gracias por el video tutorial haha

Thanks...!!!

This coment content spanish haha...

Otherwise YOU RULE!

I really have to say thank you for showing us these tutorials I now feel comfortable that I can get work. Mr Kramer do you have elements for splintering wood, bending metal or other natural elements, just wondering

Andrew you're the best!

great work!
dolun
Poland

One of the best, if not the best, tutorial(s) I've ever watched - So many small but great tips included in this one, combined with the overall walkthrough of how to achieve the effect makes this tutorial amazing!

Thank you yet again for sharing those brilliant tutorials!

Great tutorial!
It would be perfect if there are reflections of lighning on the wet ground.

Amazing tutorials, Thanks for your help and support..Thanks Andrew

andrew kramer... This fantastic

thank you

Amazing! That was great well done, I think it is great how you can just bring all the elements togeather. I have to buy Action Essentials 2 when i have the money, I have just had a brain wave of all the diffrent ways i could use it.

Thanks, keep it up
James :)

One thought comes into my mind: you could blend Sam during the Lighting with a Skeleton or a Solarized Image of him.

Wow that nice :}
Great job Andrew.

rafael

awesome awesome awesome, u spelled background wrong but its ok. can not wait for this next tutorial now.

btw, fav part of the video "I like to keep my layers organized" as ur screen shows 67 layers, HAHA, hilarious. keep it up man keep it up

nice tut andrew.

For awesome lightning fx check out The Green Mile...when Dayle or Earl or what ever the french guys name is, gets electrocuted. very well done.

Very nice tutorial Andrew. Thanks a lot. Especially creating the rain and the tint of the footage was very helpfull for a bunch of projects im doing. Great colors and pretty dark feel to the scene. Its not the theme you do a tutorial on in general but the way you get there makes people learn so much of the possibilities in AE! In just a couple of month i have learned so much because of your tutorials! By the way i really liked the scene where sam blows up immediatly with the first strike. The most realistic to me!
Andrew, your the man!!!

Hey , Andrew , It is Good Tutorial
What computer specifications appropriate to create a visual effect video ?????

Please Your answer...... Thanks^^

Oh my god this is Rayden's finishing move in Mortal Kombat. :D

David coster and
//costerproduction

Thank goodness, it's here - Now I can stop hammering my F5 button

I'll be trying this out with my AE2 720p in a bit, but I'm looking forward to learning how to simulate a rain scene as I need one in my final project next year at Uni. (Film

Hey Andrew, I'm pretty sure that there is already a rain effect in after effects under simulation or something. I was wondering why you didn't use that. Was it because that effect didn't look realistic? Or did you not know about it?

whooaa i cant wait to watch this. andy kramer i love your work! greetings from Romania!

Yes!
I was beginning to worry it wouldn't be put up.
lol
Another awesome tutorial by Andrew Kramer.
