Thanks Andrew. Keep up the good work!!! ![]() by 17th Letter Films 10/15/2007 Awesome! I too, was thinking, I wonder if you could create a shot where the glass is shot (and have a bullet hole) and then you zoom through it to the driver. Great tutorial, I'm sure it has other uses too. (Maybe go through a television that's turned off?)by kelley muro 10/15/2007 Was that hose really duct-taped to a radio?

I filmed it all against green screen using a model house for the exterior. Check out the trailer at - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3rEPESRvRM Thanks again! -ryan by Denis 10/16/2007 Aaaaw. Why'de you have to go and make same cry? ![]() Great tutorial Andrew. However, didn't you say that you were going to explain the "quick fix" for the playback problem in the end? I've been having it with the 3D Studio MAX tutorial (the text one). The problem really isn't that it won't play, its that when I try to use the seeker, it never takes me to the place I need. It just goes like a few minutes ahead from the place I was at . Sometimes it happens somtimes it doesn't. Weird. Keep up the awstacular (awsome & spectacular) work Andrew .by Ron 10/16/2007 Andrew you kill me man!!. within the first 1minute of this video I could not stop laughing about the " not what looks like comment" Ohh Sam the acting in this video is superb. Great stuff guys! by Kev 10/16/2007 Man I could have used this six months ago. Once again great work, Andrew ever since we crossed paths my editing skills have gone through the roof. ![]() by Kev 10/16/2007 Man I could have used this six months ago. Once again great work, Andrew ever since we crossed paths my editing skills have gone through the roof. ![]() by Russ 10/16/2007 Great tutorial, Andrew! I think that the gradient and by changing the transfer mode of your reflection to multiply made the window look tinted while the driver's side is plainly clear. You may have started a new fad. I think I'm going to get half my car tinted and put rims on just the passenger side! Who am I to pick apart a free tutorial from the man who inspired me to learn after effects without picking up a book! by Mace 10/16/2007 Another great one. I noticed that you were using what looked to be a Kessler Crane in the shoot. How do you like it? Keep 'em coming! by Mohammed 10/16/2007 Thanks Andrew you are the best as i said im doing tutorials for Arabic people and that thank to you. Cheak out www.aftertrick.com by Aaron 10/16/2007 you just thew best Kramer.

Curious, what camcorder did you use for this shoot? Can't make it out from the video. Keep up the great work! George by Osmose 10/16/2007 Ótimo tutorial Andrew Kramer, valeu! Fica com Deus by Sabin 10/16/2007 Very awesome tutorial Andrew. I love this effect and have wondered many atimes how it is done.

You must be putting him through a lot of stress to make him go to that extreme. I think you forgot to explain how to fix the video tutorials playing halfway. I'm not sure if you fixed some of the older videos but there were some that didn't play a few months ago when I discovered your site (looking at your earlier videos). I had to make a mock page with your video file and put in the link of the flv file. I can't remember which part of the code was missing or if you addressed the issue. Great tutorials Andrew and team. by Aharon Rabinowitz 10/16/2007 Outstanding. My wife is a vegetarian, and we rarely cook meat. I didn't have a meat tenderizer the last time I was making a meaty dinner. Will this tutorial help with that too? by kamal98 10/16/2007 Personally i am a man of very few words: for the past few months i have been watching ur tuts and trust me they are great well planed out and nicely put together. i too have a dream of creating a site are doing something similar to what u are doing but when i do i will send u a link but until then thanks for taking the time out to help us. by Wellington João Franke Junior 10/16/2007 That is a good tutorial.Tnxk Andrew! U the Best! Wellington J. Franke Junior Porto Alegre RS - Brazil! by Maluson 10/16/2007 Please Andrew, keep it comin' more more and more! You should have a star on Hollywood blvd! haha! ![]() by SamW 10/16/2007 Hi Andrew, Thank you for all your work in making these tutorials. They're great, and I'm a signed-up-bought-the-DVDs member of the fan club! One thing - please can you include some more description of the keypresses that you're using (shift/control/alt) etc., or tips with the mouse to help us newbies to learn: for example in this tutorial when you move the different bits of the motion tracker targets, or when you use the mask creation pen tools. Keep up the great work, Sam W by Damon 10/16/2007 Thanks for the great tutorial. It kind of reminded me of that shot in the Matrix where the "camera view" passes through the security monitor. by Damon 10/17/2007 Thanks for the great tutorial.

It's nice to see how you set up your shots -- more often than not I find myself limited by ending up with difficult footage more-so than in post-production from lack of knowledge within After Effects. by amilkar zuniga 10/17/2007 muy buen tutorial by Gabriel Schaefer 10/17/2007 Perfect!

Thnxs great tut. by Sildar 10/19/2007 Why use your after effects 7.0 and not cs3? I am thinking of change to the cs3, but since you do not change, I think it is major the 7.0. What is the difference with cs3? by Leon 10/19/2007 ÐК, is there a wedding lesson? by WiRXMAN 10/19/2007 This is a really cool tutorial. Liked it alot. I didn't red thru the bazillion responses on the thread here, so I don't know if anyone commented on this yet, but I had a question about the window on the drivers side of the shot. The one you comp in on the passenger side is darkly tinted like the back windows, yet when we zoom through the passenger front window to see Sam enjoying a CO cocktail, the front drivers side window is not tinted at all. Its a small and annoying question I know, but one that I thought was worth asking. Why did you go with the heavy tint on the passenger side but leave the drivers side untinted? Lighting reasons? To just have that "whats inside?" look to the vehicle before it goes in the window? Just curious. One small thing that maybe would sell the shot just a bit even more, although it looks great as always. Tnx AK, Keep on rockin' in the free world. by ZAK 10/19/2007 I zak of morocco Believe me you are a true genius and brvo bravo bravo en fete I will be very pleased to welcome you in the event or you decidera to make a trip to Morocco.

It has to be changed too )))) ooops" I think u dont know much about Video Editing because that is the whole point not to see the cameraman. Oopsy ![]() by Darby 10/24/2007 Instead of using the value graph to match the speed of the scaling after the tracking data, why not use the loopOut("continue") expression on the scale property? This will maintain the same rate of change precisely. This can also be handy for applied tracker data, but the object must be moving at a relatively constant velocity as loopOut("continue") uses the last known rate of change of the property. by Talhah 10/24/2007 The past had Newton and Einstein. We got Andrew Kramer. We got the better deal by WiRXMAN 10/24/2007 I dont think the reflection comment meant that they were saying to add the cameraman. It sounded to me like Kiera was saying to add a reflection of Sam in one of the mirrors?? It you mean the rearview mirror that is attached to the windshield, I dont think so because you barely get to see anything in the rearview mirror at the end of the shot, and the angle wouldnt show Sam in it anyways from that point of view. Same thing goes from the drivers side mirror, the angle doesnt work at this point of view to reflect him. Not sure if it was the wording the Kiera used and is confusing us to what was meant? by cloudscape 10/24/2007 WOW!COOL Thank you by udin 10/25/2007 in my country they said "kereeeeeeeeeennnn" i mean"very cool, amazing, fantastic " thanksby Gopal Balaji 10/25/2007 Andrew, What is the shorcut to make the comp window to full screen as you do it in your tutorials.

Bravo Andrew, once again. Keep up the good work!! Thanks from VA


I too, was thinking, I wonder if you could create a shot where the glass is shot (and have a bullet hole) and then you zoom through it to the driver. Great tutorial, I'm sure it has other uses too. (Maybe go through a television that's turned off?)
. Sometimes it happens somtimes it doesn't. Weird.
