• Use expressions to drive particles based on speed
• Create sandy like particles that fly off of text
 
TUTORIAL NOTES:
After you make this design, precompose and time-reverse the layer. Very interesting result.

I can't do it. first of all, the partices are on the side, not on the word. I fixed it a bit, but not fully, when i moved the text, the particles would go crazy and get out of the frame...

Pleas stop making so many jokes. They are not funny and that's not why people are watching this. I appreciate the fact that you are making these videos but I just don't like the jokes. I'll watch something else if I want to laugh.

Yeah I definitely agree with D1g1Kd, its much better than someone who just mumbles as they go on. Most videos I fall asleep halfway through just listening but these are actually entertaining. I don't get how you could actually be annoyed by the jokes, its not as if he's making the worlds stupidest jokes or anything like that.

the jokes are *exactly* why i, along with most others, watch these tutorials. i have stopped tutorials on other websites halfway thru- sacrificing what i'm sure was valuable information- due to the fact they were so dry and tedious. i just can't stand listening to someone who sounds like ben stein on an eye drop commercial telling me to make 47 new solids in a 6 minute video. the jokes give these tutorials life, make them fun, and the result is i learn more because i'm actually *enjoying* the experience. keep at it, andrew. ignore the nay-sayers. you rock.

p.s. the jokes are *mostly* funny ;)
