Hey Andrew, thank you so much for great Tutorials like this!

Here´s a link to the Trailer of my school graduation Project on SAE Munich Bavaria.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDO2Utti5mI

We used several techniques from your tutorials and that´s our way to say thanks.

All of the VFX in the finished movie were done with a combination of After Effects an Apple Shake.

So keep going with your great work on this page

Thanks a lot

lmfao decepticons sucking harry potters soul, nice one made me laugh.

anyways love the tutorials keep them up.
by Joeliwan 09/30/2009
Guys, seriously. Decepticons was clearly a joke. A moment later when he's describing them he specifically says "demented" to cue you in to the fact that he actually does know what he's talking about.

Hey, Andrew, maybe you can publish a Dry Humor Tutorial, since it's clearly lost on many of your viewers. But the videos are great. Thanks a bunch
by Rogier 09/27/2009
Haha lol, the decepticons are from TRANSFORMERS :D
