PRICELESS. I was laughing so hard.
question you got anyway idea on how to make a
home dolly kit?
i don't think i got that much cash to chuck around buying a dolly or let alone hiring one
BTW: im excited about your new product evolution i hope i can buy those as soon as it released
Too funny, and, oh yeah, the tutorial is pretty cool.
Now just to get a jib, dolly, and cool camera, and I can shoot some good stuff.
I wonder if a webcam, skateboard and a broom stick handle would work? Hmm.

This is exactly what I need for my short film Edgar Allan Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart. I filmed it all against green screen using a model house for the exterior.

Thanks again!

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
Keep up the awstacular (awsome & spectacular) work Andrew
Great stuff guys!
I noticed that you were using what looked to be a Kessler Crane in the shoot. How do you like it?
Keep 'em coming!
as i said im doing tutorials for Arabic people and that thank to you.
Cheak out

kool tutorial, but i was wondering how would you make the camera to go thru the cabin to exit in the other window?
thanks for you work!
Curious, what camcorder did you use for this shoot? Can't make it out from the video.
Keep up the great work!
George
this will be so usefull to me,
and be the way, the videos stop continuously,
and by the way, whats the new product??
but i;ll waiting for the golden 50th tutorial
I found out about videocopilot.net just a week ago, and i think i watched almost all your tutorials, real nice work ^^
I hope you post another tutorial soon, they're really good
Thanks for all the work you've been doing ^^
Cya!
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.
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.
Tnxk Andrew! U the Best!

You should have a star on Hollywood blvd! haha!
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,

It kind of reminded me of that shot in the Matrix where the "camera view" passes through the security monitor.

Oh, and thanks for showing this...I've been wondering forever.
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.
You're work is fab

what if i track the shot with a 3d tracking program and then import it back into AE?
Will it make the process easier and faster?
Could you make a tutorial on breaking glass for like, when a guy gets tossed out a window, or someone shoots up some glass? The basic idea is fairly easy, yet that 'realistic touch' eludes me..
Thanks, God bless you!
I love this tutorial
ps. Sam is a good actor.
He should try Hollywood
I will definitely be buying some of your DVD

Is anyone knows funtion key that make full screen composition window From nomal composition window
plz let me know - nicemike@nate.com
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?
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.
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. In this case, please contact me. Respect

BIG HELLO from SERBIA!

thanks James

Just quickly, would it be possible to make a 3d window? So instead of it just going through and distorting a little, you actually went through a 3d glass window and then got to poor old Sam?
Connor.
i'll remmember it every time
You are hardworking man! Thank you so much!
I just saw a similar video at cgtalk:
http://features.cgsociety.org/story_custom.php?story_id=4288
...but probably in 3d but totally same application.
btw... does anyone remember the game "You dont know jack"?... his voice reminds me of it for some reason.
i was looking at your store and i found something i liked which is in the riot gear video, but you dont seem to sell it.
so here's my idea why dont you make another sound effects cd with the orchestra guys singing, i think that would be great i'd definitely buy it.
love ryan
and it was all inspired by andrews, cruise control and the magic glass tutorials .. it was 100% inspired by andrews tuts but 100% different looking
that how these tutorials should be used .. to inspire . not to mask out sams face and put your own and add it to your demo reel
"Good tutorial... but there's one thing missed - a reflection of the guy in the backview mirror! 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
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?
What is the shorcut to make the comp window to full screen as you do it in your tutorials. I am beginner and try to learn by working.

"...shorcut to make the comp window to full screen."
It is the tilde key. The squiggly key to the left of the number one at the top of your keyboard. This key here ~
Hope that helps.

You make it clear and easy to understand.
I'm a big fan of you and your work. I'll... I know you next tutorial will be as great as the others.
I have a big question to you, Andrew Kramer:
I'm working on a movie project and I want to make this very cool "black/white with much contrast"-effect like in the movie "Renaissance" (watch the trailer here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh7s32XRScQ
There is a very cool comic-effect in "A Scanner Darkly" too.
Please, make a tutorial how to make such cool comic-effects.
Your biggest fan
