I also encounter the same question as nikodex. Each time I track the project video with two trackers like you, but they can't act prefectly and the trakers are shaky. My work is easy to leak fake castles to audience. And in tutorial 43- Demon Face Warp , I cant not track correctly points between Sam's lovely and shining eyes. I have tried more than 10 times. Pity. Maybe something is wrong? If you have time, Would you like to give me a guide by email(xz1000m@sina.com), please? Thank you very much! Anyway, We are all your fans! Take care!

Is there something I might be doing wrong or I should notice when setting the points? Any ideas? Thanks. by nikodex 06/18/2008 Hi! I have a very annoying problem with tracking footage.

Lots of greetings from Holland by Luke 02/19/2008 nice one :) what version of aae is used in this tutorial? by Will 02/16/2008 Absolutely fantastic tute! One of the most interesting and tricky! much kudos! I'm having a strange thing happen to my tracking footage though - sometimes the footage that is attached to the null object moves without there being a change of frame...it makes the whole thing look kind of dodgy. it doesn't look like it happens to the null object, just to the parented footage (the crazy castles). Could you help me figure out what is going on, or point somewhere I can find out? Cheers from Australia! by werty1 02/15/2008 lol i would be amazed if i saaw ms paint things in the desert to forget castles i see those everyday lol no but really that was a good tutorial by Merlin 02/12/2008 Awesome tutorials! Thanks for spending so much time :) one tip for photoshop (if you don't know it already): you don't need to group all layers you want to merge, just select them by holding down shift or ctrl, and then right-click on one of the selected and chose "merge to one layer" or sth like this. (I have the german version so i don't know the exact command) oh, and it only works with CS2 or higher. greetings from germany, i'm looking forward to see more tutorials :) merlin by Carlos 02/11/2008 Hello I´m from Argentina and I have seen your tutorials in my job. They are very cool but we have a problem because my friends can not understand english, so i have to translate him your tutorials. We need tutorials in spanish.... ajaja Awesome tutorials. by Kevin 02/10/2008 Rofl, MS Paint ftw! Great tutorial though. by Phil Lister 02/10/2008 Grrrreat stuff!!!!! Keep 'em coming Andrew!! I love those DVD's as well. I'm already using them in films! by Fox 02/09/2008 Excellent by funkeefresh 02/06/2008 Microsoft Paint Rules by Sam Cirulu 02/03/2008 Great tutorial...really damn cool. One thing though I must ask about the rendering of the final movie. Mine seems to render out not as smooth as the original footage. Is this just a compression thing? Or, something else? It kind of stutters as the camera moves upwards. If anyone could get back to me on this, that would be great (apologies in advance if this is a stereotypical noobie query...). by Deltablack 02/02/2008 Don't make fun of Canada! :P hehe good tutorial. by Norwegian Boy 01/29/2008 Andrew , you rock. See you in the future! ;) by Dave 01/28/2008 Nice one :D by john P 01/28/2008 Hahahaa a very very nice tutorial!!!! ...your training is the best i have ever came across! love the sense of humor you have (microsoft paint) LOL that was legendary. and thanks a lot for giving us all these great tutorials by yosef 01/27/2008 hi *andrew* a very exciting ..... note : the Project link dos not work can you plz make it work thanx 2 u by Lorka 01/21/2008 Haha, awesome.

I only know because I was in there looking something up earlier today (computer specs, everything seems to run so fast for him) by Endre 01/17/2008 Hi! Here to say that the job your doing is helping a lot of people (hope the sales go well),and i need to know what kind of camera you use. I can see good results very fast on your tutorials and thats bogging me. Can you email me specifics. I`m a accredited freelancer. Thank you. by Andrew 01/16/2008 This tutorial is by far my favorite.

I was wondering if you could do some tutorials on green screen effects. Things like snow in front of your replaced background and subjects. I was also wondering where i could find some tutorials on video recording. Things like where to film to get optimal lighting. Oh and what kind of camera do you use? ~~Anyway, great tutorials.

Obrigado! by Mahesh 12/20/2007 I had a brief stint as 2D Compositor..and know from that bit of experience that both 2d and 3d compositing constitute a vast field of technical knowledge.Some revealed, like what you do through your tutorials and some obscure- the info and knowledge still not to be found on the net.For example this link- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V1LoJt7IZw An advertisment from ultratech cement that reconstructs/ setextends or assembles real life buildings and bridges to finished state.what technique is this?and what would you call it technically? It would be kind of you to enlighten us with a similar tutorial.thanks. by armor_cg 12/19/2007 Please, reupload project files. by JedgmentLord 12/15/2007 You should have your own cable TV spot!

Take care. by Rara 10/06/2007 hello there Andrew, this tutorial is pretty awesome. Now I can do off the screen tracking. I was wondering one thing though. How do you do tracking with rotation? Every good example of what I want to know how to do is in the music video for Nickelback's saving me, where the numbers floats on people's head and the camera goes basically all around them. It would be super cool if you can just explain a bit. You won't even have to do tutorial, but you can if you want, right lol? Anyways, I hope to hear from you soon because I am doing this for one of the effect for my school project which is due very soon. Thanks once again for all your time and effort for all the tutorial. I've learn a lot from you and hope to learn this one new thing I've mentioned here too. Raneath by Greg 10/05/2007 You are a GOD! haha by Scott 10/04/2007 you beautiful man by Arty Flores 10/04/2007 As a newb to After effects this was one of my favorite and still favorite tutorial.

NIR, Israel by Vish 10/03/2007 You makes it unbelievable, amazing, fantastic, you rocks! by Walker Nosworthy 10/02/2007 Great Tutorial- I just bought After Effects this summer. I would have been completely lost without your tutorials. I have learned so much and done so much thanks to your tutorials. I really appreciate the information, time, and humor you put into your tutorials. I have purchased Riot Gear and Action Movie Essentials and will probably by Film Magic Pro in the near future. Thank you so much for your inspirational tutorials. by Dan Malocchio 10/02/2007 LoL @ "Noone really wants to go to Canada." Thanks yet again! by Will 09/30/2007 Hey Andrew, I'm from New Zealand. Fantastic tutorials you have a great way of explaining things so they are simple to understand as well as mixing it up with some slightly geekish yet funny humour which helps with the learning process. Cheers mate love your work. by PAt 09/30/2007 A true artist is generous... ..and that's what you are..

Theyr just the best!! I always wondered how to track "outside the frame" But damn, it's impossible to track properly with crappy footage by OnFireProduction 09/26/2007 Hey Andrew what do you think of "Mocha" I have purchased Mocha and I am dumbfounded as to its ability, I would love to see a tutorial where you incorporate "Mocha". Any who, you are my hero, and my wifes nightmare She wants me off the PC when i;m home, but you draw me with your wisdom. by OnFireProduction 09/26/2007 Poor Sam, All that hard work and he gets the "Hunch Back" Joke thrown at him @ Sam "You need a good Agent" Call me! J/K Gotta Love Andrew's humor, or you won't get the tutorials! by abuthamir 09/25/2007 thank you andrew.. very good work.. by Adriano Toledo - Brazil 09/24/2007 Olá Andrew, seus tutoriais tem feito uma grande revolução, e abertos nossas mentes para novas possibilidades, por falar nisso, somos uma produtora aqui no Brasil, onde todos nós estamos buscando sempre aprender mais, e você tem sido uma de nossas referências, um grande abraço !!! by Shaddix 09/24/2007 I had a good laugh with that Tut. keep up the great work! by David 09/23/2007 What kinda camera are you using for all your shots?

The end result is amazing. I was watching Shrek today, and while he's on the quest to go and rescue Fiona, he passes by a volcano- the shot is almost exactly like this one. Angled on the ground, and the camera pans up slowly as the person (in this case, Shrek) walks up the hill, and sees the scene (volcano, ancient towers, etc.) Amazing tutorial. by Ben 09/20/2007 Great tutorial! I like it when you blend in other programs like Photoshop. Maybe time for some Illustrator vector art ? by Alfred 09/20/2007 Help!!!!!!
