You're very talented man. But try remembering the right names for the movies you reference, it might help you jokes a bit. lol :P

I've been watching your tutorials for a few years now, and I want to say thanks a bunch for doing these. VCP is mostly how I started learning AE, and continues to teach me. Tomorrow marks my first year in LA, during which I've made a living doing VFX for TV and freelance on the side. Good times. :)

Andrew - Great tutorial, as always!

Q: Will the medieval light switch be part of an upcoming Action Essentials product?
Doni
12/18/2011
why you always show some exited things that i never imagine that before ?.. like this pretty ghost rider LoL..

but seriously . i follow your website since you use after effect 7. and i want to make a things that different and more good than you did.. but it doesn't works.. you always make brand new exited effect with a simple way..

GOOD JOB ANDREW. i'm your HUGE fan :)

oh god, i wish i have your skill
:P
Guilherme

I have to tell you are a great professional, but you did so many things in this tutorial (wich are amazingly well done) but you just edit 20 frames of movie in almost 15 minutes...

Although i learned lots of things in this particular tutorial.
