I tell you, I have to agree with Zack. After spending as much time as I have with the tutorials, I'm noticing the influence everywhere.

For example, take a look at the new commercial for a So. Cal. Indian Casino:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gZWn3Fg2Es

i followed this 100% exact and when i make my particles per sec 15 the stream of smoke never ends, i want it to slow fade away from the back of the stream.

WOW~

Hai andrew,
Best creation .am waiting your new creation
for my 3d movie title creation.

Hi sir Andrew, wanna say that this was a great tutorial!! i also want to ask if the particular tool needs to be downloaded or if its a default effect in AE cs3..
thank you so much!!
Christian, Phil.

good

I'm not able to get the randomness thing down. The randomness always starts AFTER the missiles ending key.

I must say, I have seen a lot of commercials, t.v shows, and movies that use the same effects that Andrew teaches in these tutorials. For example, the new movie trailer for "Skyline" displays effects that look very similar to this effect here. This just show how much Andrew is affecting the entertainment business. That in my opinion, is just awesome.

Hi Andrew I must say that you are ruling the special effects world with your awesome creative mind. And there is no words to describe your talents. I wish you were were in my neighborhood in sri lanka and thanks for your awesome tuts

Great tutorial Andrew. I´m learning too much with your video-tutorials. Thank very much.

WOW u r great love your work man

Bravo!!!

Hey Andrew....

Long time worshipper, first time poster....

I tried to download the project file for this one, but it only comes thru with textures.....

Is there a project file so that I can peek at the settings....Obviously i can watch the tut....but I want to do something waaay different and this is a good starting point.

Great technique for creating smoke trails! this really intrigued me, so I thought I'd throw something short together and see what i could do with it. Not quite finished but I think it worked out quite well:

Boo! i don't even have optical flares or enough money to buy it! i'd like to see a tutorial on how to do smoke trails inside after effects although andrew is still a genius i just can't do it

Cause it's 3rd party tool

i can't find particular in after effects for some reason

Excuse me.
I can't find "Sprite" this option in Particle type.
Where is it?
Thank you!

What music is at the very beginning of the tutorial ?? Is it in Pro Scores or even Designer Sound FX ?
I love this music

Those effects looks just like the Pilot of smallville with the arrival of clark kent on planet earth. Nice effects though :D

Superb! Greetings from Dubai!

Andrew Hi,
I live in kenya (somewhere in africa) and have been a keen follower of your tutorials for about 2yrs now, and since i know you like the hard stuff, kindly follow the link below to view an AD done for a wall paint company (crown berger) and i think its prety good, but there was alot of CG used on it, approx 25 and above CG scenes, and was wondering if you could achieve the same effects using AE alone.
Hope you have fun cracking this.
