by DInesH 08/20/2010
ur the best

and can u make a video of how to make a effect in movie like iron man

by Rit Man 08/20/2010
ROFL - if your offended by soul-sucking, you can just reverse it and give the guy back his soul. that is my new fave Andrewism, the last one was about the guy that asked if u could do one without a black background and you were like ok, lets pick a coloooooorrrr..... DARK GRAY. that was hilarious!
by Joseph 08/17/2010
Thank you for this entire website! I have always wanted to get into video editing and effects but I had always considered the learning curve to be to steep and expensive. Thank you for leveling out the playing field!
by Lili 08/16/2010
I'm just wondering why you guys offer such great tutorials for free. This place is like going to Graphic Art school with a full scholarship! If I get ever get good at this stuff and make some bills off it, I'll sure be donating to keep this project alive. Right now I'm in uni and completely broke..so yea.

God bless you guys! Seriously.

Thanks,

- Wyll.
by Roland 05/27/2010
Hello Andrew,

after I change the particle type to lens convex, it dissapeared.And in the beginning (default), the particle looks not so big like yours...it's only little bit particle in the midle.

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

lol! -'the decepticons, they sort of suck the souls out of people' -now that's new! XD

-so cool! tnx! :D
by shawn 11/13/2008
Another great one - thanks Andrew!! Belated Happy B-day.

As to the WHERE IS SAM? question posted way above...

perhaps Sam is the one removing the soul from Tito - which is kinda nice because now Sam will finally have one.

(all right, all right, I'm sorry. Tongue is planted in cheek - hope Sam can take a joke, cause I'm sure we all love Sam - I know I do. Sorry, Sam)

by Baz 11/08/2008
Fantastic Tutorial Andrew.. Thanks for that and hope you had a memorable birthday with your new baby...

Any chance of you making a tutorial on a Clark Kent Style Superspeed running effect where you see someone whooooshing!!! past people and then in the next few frames it becomes ultra slow motion (with waves surrounding the running man in slow motion) soo sort of like a freeze effect (which I have seen the tutorial of) but combining the superspeed and then a freeze mode where someone runs at slow motion whilst the surroundings are frozen.

Thanks Andrew and my apologies for the long winded message..

by jose 11/08/2008

"But you should know that the soul doesn't exit through the eyes and the mouth the same time, only one way."

Oh dear...Perhaps this chap has some video evidence to back up his claim. I bet he's got some nice Ghost videos too!

"Absence from the body is presence with The Lord."

To me that implies you're already connected.
Maybe a quantum sort of thing.

If it happens to you that way... I think you have more to worry about than just being dead!!!!!

If you dont parent the liquify filter to the track data, it doesnt look that bad at al! i mean, if you DO parent it, it looks like his soul is comming out (which is the point of this tutorial...=S) but without it, it looks really creapy!!

I AM SO EXITED YOU ARE THE THE BEST OF THE BEST..
by illegald 11/04/2008
To be honest: To me thats the best AE-Tutorial ever!

I never learned that much in a few minutes, great use of the difference Key, expressions, masking, blendmodes, bad presidents and technomusic :) A Perfect ten!

One thing.. Kramer said that the difference key works not perfect, and thats right. But if you have some grainy or bad shot footage to key, the difference key often allows waaay better solutions than the standard keyers. It juste helped my out 10 minutes ago...
by Neddy 11/04/2008
Come on people - he's just human, don't give him a big head!!!

Keep up the good work cause we can't stand your crap work!
