09/21/2011

Hi there.

I was wondering, could you could continue this tutorial and create a black hole distorting and sucking in the space and fractures of the planet.

Also thanks a-lot for your great tutorials.

09/19/2011

This is amazing. You make it seem so easy. Check out my youtube channel, phantomtrucks56

09/13/2011

just wow.. I was just watched and amazed this. Way much above those youtube tutorials

08/29/2011

You guys are serious! Thank you heaps!

08/21/2011

nice seen your experience on the planet. I use imovie 08 software limited to your adobe after affects. However, it looks similar with layers of effects to make the video stand out.

08/20/2011

love your tutorials but hate that i cant do them with out buying shit every time!

06/23/2011

This year i have started attending a technical school for digital media and design. Prior to these classes I never even heard of what after effects was. I can now produce commercials, intro's for music artists, news anchors, ect. and many visuals for my family to "ooohhh" and "ahhh" over. Thank you Andrew and the video copilot team for not only previewing but going into explicit detail that the non tech savvy ( like myself) surely need. That and it's all FREE! you guys are crazy, and i love it, keep up the good work.

09/19/2011

I'm in the same boat. In my 3rd year in the film program at PSU. Thanks to this website I will be getting A's

05/18/2011

All tutorials are great step by step how to learn.All the best.

02/14/2011

Was just watching Superman/Batman Apocalypse on Netflix Instant Watch... If you go about 15-16 minutes in to where Supergirl flashes back to Krypton exploding...

The actual explosion portion is animated, but the chunks of the planet seem to use the exact shatter effect and look just like they used the tutorial.

Check it out!

Check out my YouTube Channel:

02/13/2011

Hey Andrew, Please let me apologise on behalf of all these other people watching your tutorials for FREE who say negative things...
Like, you should have done this, or, I can't find this file etc
Your doing a great job and it is really appreciated.
To all others watching this tutorial... why don't appreciate what you are getting from a great tutor, do the decent thing and buy some products like I did...
...Maybe Sam ate the squirrels...
You won't be sorry

03/01/2011

I second that Paul! If they want other tutorials, I can recommend a site called digital tutors.com , only thing is, they charge like $49 per month and the tutorials themselves aren't even half as good as what Andrew does.

02/11/2011

hey your work is amazing just to GOOD.

02/08/2011

Andrew, u r really talented...
this is like the best website 4 after effects tutorials...
I've checked others, but ur tutorials r way more fun....
I'm sure u'll come up with loads of awesome effects this year...
Wishin u all d best 4 2011 :)
Rock on man \m/ !!!

02/02/2011

Thanks for the tutorial, just one thing; it would have been nice to have known that you needed Action Movie Essentials for the explosion. Anyway I found a substitute.

02/06/2011

You can use any explosion stock footage you find online.

02/02/2011

The pieces shouldn't fall down. They would just keep going. Redoing this would be a lot better.

11/17/2010

Hey... I was wondering if I was able to get a copy of the Explosion from Action Essentials... You didn't mention it used an element from that.

11/08/2010

it was good but it don't real look in the shattering part!!..its as bricks shattering!!!!!!...

10/07/2010

12/30/2009

your tutorials are fantastic. can u send me some basic tips that how you make things so simple...


thanks

12/25/2009

I love this tutorial and all of yours. It has helped me understand the capabilities of After Effects. I cant believe anyone would complaining about any of this. Its free and if you dont like something about it, customize it to your liking. Who cares what the gravity is set to.

12/19/2009

You know Andrew, with your normal super ability of adding detail, this tutorial is a tad disappointing.

The gravity should've been 0 even though you wanted it to be 1 for the sake of the tutorial. Also, how you did it now it just seems the planet has an outer shell but no core. I mean, all planets have something on the inside too right? Also the bits are too large. Remember, this is a big planet, after all. It to our eyes the bits would be big, but in space it would be tiny chunks of earth.

I think those latter 2 could've been solved by duplicating the layer, and then doing one with smaller puts a frame or five offsetted from the original to create both large ans small bits. And duplicating once more, and then offsetting it alot to make it be "inside" of the outer bits we had created and then make the extrusions larger.

That way it would seem it has a core too and that it explodes in both small and big chunks like a planet would do! That's just how I feel it though.

12/18/2009

WOAHHH!!! you neeed to pay attention to the gravity(theres no gravity in space)

12/15/2009

Everything seems to work fine until i apply the Shatter effect and set it to "rendered" and AE comes crashing down. I've tried on 3 computers- one of which is effectively the most powerful machine apple makes (so i know it's not a performance issue.) Anyone else having this issue, or am i just cursed?

11/13/2009

sweet dude thanks for the tut. hopfully it will help me get in my brothers shoes (=

10/27/2009

Muchas gracias he aprendido muchisimas aplicaciones de after y todo se lo debo a sus tutoriales, de nuevo mil gracias

10/12/2009

Thanks Andrew.

10/10/2009

very use in tutorials because easy the teaching way to ite

08/23/2009

Hey Andrew, it's Nick from Italy... These are my first 2 days on After Effect, and since I've found your website, and your tutorials, I grew up so much with it! You made such a good job...

However let's come to the point... I've tried to do this blowing up effect... and well I tried to ad a "shaking" just around the explosion frames... (not more than 5/6 frames)... I've taken inspiration by the earthquake tutorial... It looks like the planet before "pump" up the energy, than shakes and blows out so powerfully... (sorry for any English mistake)...

Great job man!! Keep on doin'em...

Cheers, Nick

08/04/2009

really good

what a effect

07/19/2009

WOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!total planet destruction!!!you're the best there is!!!!!KRAMER WORLD RULES!

07/09/2009

Awesome but 2 problems the first : The parts of the planet can't fall because in space there no gravity
The second : When the planet explosed the part could be more little




Thx , For the tutorial , You are awesome , Love you

06/22/2009
