When i apply "Casts Shadows" onto garage.jpg,
the image becomes blur... how can i fix it?

hahahaha.... Your tutorials are so the best... and aout your nonsence.. well i like it.... There's some fuuny thing like the baby bees--- haha but no... I like a lot your tutorials, there just awsome... keep it like that...

Wow! why es that guy complining about the nonsense talk?, that's at least half the fun!!!!

ok . tnx . god .

Your tuts are good. Your nonsense talk is boring. Stick with the first. My 5c.

wow.. cam projection, thanx a lot Mr Andrew..

At 25:16 Andrew as a small white bar at the bottom of his field. He clicks and hits the tilda key and then it magically disappears.

I have that white bar too and I was wondering how exactly to get rid of it. Thanks.

hi andrew,
the work you do here is amazing

I think it looks amazing, that one extra bit that would make it look more effective is the top sky layer becoming brighter and more exposed as it disappears, as when recording video footage from a light to dark area, the light blows out as it is adjusting to the darker footage. :)

WOW great
helped me alot

and uhm saif is right
WHERE IS NUMBER 95????

hi andrew it's nice video tutorial but were is the video tutorial number 95 ?
thanks

Hi,Andrew.I am Amit from India.I followed your all tutorials and learned immensely from them.I always get inspired by your tutorials.I regard you as my AE tutor.Thanx once more.Keep up your good work.

That's fantastic!! Look a intro to a journalistic report that I did using the camera projection technique

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXvs-GTzQTM

PD. I used the picture of the parking ;)

I supprised that see your video in your tutorial
and also you lose weight alot
you look very hansome and look young~
i'm one of your fan your work very awsome!!!
very useful for me to study AF
anyway thanks for your tutorial

The issue is not to be proficient in After Effects but being an artist having high taste and sensitivity and creativity...
that is what we always knew when just hearing that name "andrew"
I am from Tunisia and I follow your lessons well thank you

I juts saw that tutorial being used in "CHUCK".

Hey Andrew, I have a question that you could probably answer. I am trying to accomplish this effect, but with the camera moving towards the wall then going through. I have 3d rooms with the camera animated to pass through the wall into the next room. How would you go about adding the stuff inside the wall before the camera comes out the other side? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated, as I'm kind of at a standstill on this project.

Thanks, Cody

Hi Andrew I Love you And Thank you,it Was Lovely .

itis good

thanks Andrew..

Hi folks, firstly, Andrew... you a friggen godsend! and secondly can anyone tell me if doing this same effect only with two pieces of footage (static) with the people moving in the frame is any different than this tutorial? Or is it doing everything exactly the same just with the different things at each level?

Please let me know asap.

Thanks a million!

videocopilot is amazing i hard it from a friend and am enjoying it so much

Excellent ! amazing !!

Thank u Andrew

thanks andrew!! im your fan! cheers from mexico

Muy buena su web, lo unico malo que lamentamos muchisimos hispanos que los siguen, es definitivamente el idioma, ojala pudiesen hacer los tutorilas en español, jeje pero por sobre todas las cosas muy buena suerte a todo el staff de VideoCopilot!!

Andrew Kramer is truly.. top of the class. Amazing ideas, taste and skills. Great teacher.
video copilot reigns!

You are truly a great man and talented

hey man u r so young n to smart i like your hairstyle.i can't believe in this age u having this kind of experience.u r awesome man i like u.give your cell no.plz i want to share some difficulties with u.

Hey, awesome tutorials!
i'm hoping if you could do one on making a worm hole,a realistic one like something from the Heroes series.

Adam Lambert's video used YOUR effect! Aha I burst out laughing when I saw it.
Here's the link:

I appreciate this site sooo much. Thank you Mr Kramer (hope the spellings right) for doing this. I will definitely be purchasing your plug ins sometime in the near future.

Ed

Awesome aka Andrew
Cream de la cream aka Kramer
Thanks a bunch for sharing your tutorial, you ROCKS!

Great to see you on camera, very entertaining. Thank you so much for your tutorials!! How did you learn all of this?

You are the best ! :)

Andrew has a face!
...Amazing tutorial...

I so totally am digging this - get it, "digging"?

Ha ha - so anyway, I used this technique in a comp - hopefully it will get approved. Even if it doesn't I'm posting what I did to YouTube. Great job Andrew!

I've tried both the PS viewpoint and the camera projection for projects like theses. Which do you recommend as being the most effective. I know the viewpoint way has some seious camera and scaling issues. Would you say the control factor is more managable using the projection method?
Thanks again.

Great!!! Many thanks from Italy

Pizza, spaghetti and Videocopilot :)

hi andrew,

Thanks Andrew, another great tutorial. I really enjoyed the earlier part, face-cam presentation. It reminded me of school classes with teachers.

Andrew, I don't have anything new to say, but I just had to write again and say "thank you" again for sharing your knowledge with us. I really appreciate you and wish you all the best in life.

I hope you have a great Christmas with your lovely family (and with Sam, lovely or otherwise. Actually Sam seems like a great guy, I'm sure Christmas with Sam would be a blast).

I hope your holidays are safe and wonderful.

Thanks yet again, and blessings,
Shawn

BEST TUT, AWESOME

Hello, nice tutorial.

What camera does Andrew use?

thanks.

Hola Andrew! Congratulations for this website, is the bible for the new generation in the world of posproduction. I did this tutorial a few days ago, and this is the result:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xgTodgdCBs
(the original was in 16:9, I don´t know why Youtube reconvert in 4:3)
And one more thing: A group of friends have a webserie, here in Spain, called "Malviviendo" ("Badliving"), the website is: www.malviviendo.com, I do the making of and some support in postproduction of the two last episodes(there is only a guy for all postproduction), sometimes your tutorials save our lifes, thank you Andrew! By the way, some televisions like FOX (FOX Spain) are interest in Malviviendo, maybe you can see it in the future in the international tv. Ah, There is no subtittles for now, sorry, if you want to watch it I hope you know advanced Spanish, in the south we speak very close. Thaks for your time, sorry for my English, and long life for Videocopilot! Hasta otra!

Amazing stuff guys truly love the tutorials and pre sets - most of your dvds are now on my christmas list.

How Do They Do That? :P

A friend of mine told me about video copilot. While surfing through the website I began to cry! These tutorials are amazing and very helpful. I've been wanting to learn After Effects so bad but I don't like the classroom atmosphere. I love being able to learn at my own pace.

Thanks from Buffalo, NY. "Go Bills"

Yeaaah............
I Love your brain..........
GREAT....GREAT....GREAT.....!!!

Gung Decky, Bali

Andrew,

You are a very talented person. I looked around for AE tutorials on the web before. No tutorials have ever impressed me as much as yours. Your tutorials are simply out of this world and your artistic vision is second to none.

It is funny watching TV because I see your ideas used a lot.

You are really just that good.

WOw I'm french and these tutorials are VERY GREAT !!
Why depensing money with a teatcher, you are here !
Very good job and nice project.
Your pronunciation and explication are very great!
Excuse me for my poor spelling...

you are the MVP on the AE and the best teacher.. thaks to help me to believe in progres to advance. The creativity more than the machine.

Your work inspires me! This site is marked as one of my resources when I'm stuck on a video idea. I'm going to graduate in December and I need to make a demo reel. Your tutorials will help me out a lot. Thanks Andrew!

Hey Andrew, hey guys.

I'm just trying out this tutorial but a problem occured. From the moment of switching the Light Transmission to 100%, my image gets totally blurry. Well, in fact, it's out of focus and the only way to get it sharp is, to put it right on the same plane as the background. But by doing so, the whole concept of projection gets lost.
What I dont understand: Why is my image out of focus although the camera option of DOF is disabled? Even when I change the focal plane of the camera to the image plane it doesn't change.

Is there anyone here, who can help me getting out of this disaster?

best regards, thibor.

Hey, I tried making this same scene but I used pictures in 3d space without camera mapping and had the same results. What would be the benefit of projecting the pictures the way you did in the tut?

hey Andrew, for me apart the guys from Total training, you're the best in AE. I'm a novice in AE and I'm african (Burundi). I really thank you and watch this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VkAvf65hK8

It's a video clip of my band. It starts by a ZOOM EARTH which I learned from you ANDREW so THANKS A LOT and keep on doing cool stuff

Hi, I'm Klimaco From México, and I just wanna say Thank's for you work.. this is a great web, and every day I'm training with AE, I don't know how you do it? hahaa, but I wanna learn, Did you go to a special school, ( I mean for AE) and? Where can I see you Works, Have you ever been In Films? I Don't know, I love to see you habilities in films.. haha thanks Andrew. and keep walkin'

hey~! I see you!!!

Man! So excited when I saw this one. There's this show on the History Channel called Cities of the Underworld that I really like and I always thought it was so neat how they used this effect. Always wondered how the shot went the the ground. Thanks for putting this together for us.

Andrew K.
You re' bursting my mind!!!!!!!

JAJAJA, Man, I love your way of teaching, you always make me laugh. I don't know if I find AF so easy because of your great tutorials or because your jokes. Jajaja, I love the commander camera thing! Thanks Andy! you're the greatest guide I could have found.

I know i can but how will i get 2 know with this lyfe of no money! well, i wish Andrew gives me the opportunity 2 know more free of charge! i just love his way of doing things. Big ups andy go on yo lovely.

nice work....
u cool

Thanks Thanks Very match For This Tutorials in After effects _ www.gfxdsn.co.cc

Hey ... Check this one, Andrew. I`d like to hear your opinion...
http://www.vimeo.com/5073897

you my obi van kenobi !

I always thought you'd be a fat guy. Now I'm a little dissapointed but i don't know why...

Great tutorial, I added an explosion on top and a shock wave going down though the earth then dirt and cement falling off the top of the garage onto the car then some corny car alarm and lights blinking.

thanks brother
another cool and great stuff


thumbsup..!!!

2d image on layers with the help of light and moving camera around them to create seamless 3d, the best and the best trick ever seen inside after effects. thanks

hey andrew, how are you doing?

See, there's a new bunch of awesome commercials here in Portugal for a communications' company and everybody's wondering how those were done, apparently using some after effects plugin. It might possibly be re:vision re:flex, i don't know. Would you care to take a look and dismistify this riddle, i think it would actually make a nice tut? Find them here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_I7qPvkj_c

thank you Andrew!!

HOLA from SPAIN!
Just wanted to thank you ANDREW for doing such a great job on your tutorials. THEY ARE ALL INCREDIBLY FUN and AMAZINGLY USEFUL! I have learned so many things from your site, I can´t thank you enough! Just know that you might have like 2000 points on your KARMA or something!

dear andrew plz publish morping tut ok i need it

Great tutorial
Thanks

hi whats up u are so amezing work i like u this is word best site

i have your all produts thanksssssssss

hello brother i love u so much your work i want to buy your evolution but i don't have mony but always i love u work

I've been trying this with HD Video footage but it just comes out blurry, I tried messing with the Comp quality settings and the Light diffuse settings but nothing seems to work. It seems that using HD video instead of a J-peg is a whole different ballgame with this Tut.

Hey Andrew, love this tut.
I was using a hires picture when attempting this tutorial, and when I used shadow projection the result came out all blurry. I tried a bunch of things, and what I discovered is that in Comp Settings, you have to go to Advanced and then Options, and change the Shadow Map Resolution to a high number. Just letting everybody know, let me know if this helps!
-Ben

wow thanks it is awesome..

Can you please upload AE save file, because it is not in the zip file.

Thanks

Hi Andrew!! I'm a professional 2D compositor. Just encourage you to keep going in such good work that you are doing. Your tutorials are really good and useful. You are helping to many people. Thanks a lot!!
Greetings from Spain.

Andrew! I had some problems ..the shadows were not projectet to the 3d layers I made, I work in CS4 I tried to change the light fron a spot to a point and still nothing...my PC is a 4400 dualcore 4Gb of ram and 1659 mb video, after half of day of thinking :P I discovered by mistake that if I change the fast preview fron OpenGL witch I normaly use to Adaptive resolution the shadows will show!!!.....Qestion! why does'nt the shadows show in OpenGL? is it a default on Adobe or an eror on my PC? ....sorry if my questions are stupid :(

This tutorial made my day ^^
Make more of these type of tutorials!
Great :D

Oh wow i gotta try this!

Very Cool!!!

Nurassyl

hi,
Genius, Intelligent, Amazing Tutorial, fantastic tutorial, Excellent tutorial, greats tutorials.

Believe me you deserve more than that.

Aly

Andrew,
You do inspire, help, and motivate people around the world. I wish you all the best.
and thank you...

the AE project itself isn't inside on the download zip file.

ANDREW, ANDREW, ANDREW:

You SERIOUSLY don't know how shocked I was when i went on VCP today and fund this tutorial. I was literally going to try one of these myself this afternoon, and wham! you had a professional example to work off, I seriously couldn't believe it. I went around telling everyone in my class.

I'm actually designing a music video for my band (Zuluhotel) towards my Honors degree in Motion, it's got a sci-fi, anti technology/identity loss in computer civilization theme.

So far I've incorporated:

Basic training stuff (of course)
3D city
Vanishing point (god-sent)
Burning up particle guy
and now THIS tutorial!

Once again, I just want to thank you man, you don't understand. I wouldn't be where I am without VCP!

Thanks!

Wes,
Wellington, New Zealand.

Hi Andrew !! I'm Seb, and i'm french !! Thanks for very greats tutorials !! =P
You are the best !! =D

Seb'

i thought there gonna be water involved

good ///but I'm imprest when see your face ...so who's fat man who we always saw?

Mr. Andrew you are so Intelligent in after effect
What about in 3ds max. thanks for your all tutorials. byebye. Afghanistan-Herat.

You are a Genius?

hey Pablo,
using Force Blur is fast and easy more than motion blur from layer because there are many Layer from 2 Comp so user filter Fx more easier than motion blur from layer.
Thank Andrew for Amazing Tutorial. Nice Work and Keep going.

After doing the tutorial 15 times over and over.. and still coming up with a blurry projection, I've figured out what's up..

In "light settings" check to make sure your shadow diffusion is ZERO (0) Pixels!!!

It isn't mentioned in the tutorial, but if you pause it right hen AK sets up the light it says zero. I changed mine to zero and all of a sudden everything's working perfectly :)

Great tutorial Andrew!

-Jeremy

You are a Genius

Muchas gracias, Dios te bendiga por la labor que hace para mejorar las habilidades de todos los diseñadores del mundo... No me he perdido ni un tutorial o comentario en el Blog...

LMFAO, Gotta say, This is like the first time, Ive actually seen kramer in his *real* form, I actually pictured him through his voice as someone with a versachi and a rugged look LOL @ the shift eyes thing, This really pays off, Reminds me of desperate housewives, They really use this effect every now and then.

Thank you andrew, i saw this at last in dr. house^^, thanks

GOD bless you ! BUT i like to whach some boujou tutorials tracking in After effect

Hey Everyone at VC,
especially Andrew. This is great stuff. Thanx
Now, Request: Let the VC community get another blog for the Business Side of VFX. I think It'd be too resourceful...given the traffic of the VC website.

Eh! Sorry for the off-topicness! hope it gets up!

Very useful. I appreciate it.

Ah... muy buena la intro a este tutorial mostrándote como sos un verdadero maestro, como decimos en Argentina sos un capo!!!! Perdón por no expresarme en tu lengua pero no domino el inglés.

Nice tutorial, Andrew!

Hi Andrew,

Hey, awesome tutorial! You should find ways to incorporate video of yourself in your tutorials, it'd be awesome -> then people would end up calling you Prof! (thats awesome think about it - Professor Andrew? :P.)

ROCKKKKKKKKING........................

Its fun pausing on your facial expressions

Dayum, I did notice you shut the video off.. :'(

I wish you could have a video below the tutorial of what you're saying, So I can see and read your lips to understand what you're saying. *shifty*
:p

It would help, But i'd understand if It's too much..

Hey, Andrew! First of all great tutorial! I've thought about this for a long time.

But here's a thing; Why not copy the camera from projection comp 1 to projection comp 2? Wouldn't this solve the issue of the comp's different speed?

Yes!
Andrew, Great idea with footage of yourself in the tut as well, I am hard of hearing an lipreading is an awesome talent I have, So it's great to see what you are saying as well.

MADDIE GET IN THE CAR OR YOURE GONNA DIE

Hey Andrew, I downloaded the project but not all the files seem to be there.

Simply amazing, Andrew. You´re the man!

This is brilliant Andrew your tutorial are becoming better n better :D

Here is another my version ;)

Sound used is SOUND FX collection.

Greetings,

@ HÃ¥vard.... yea he said it is possible to use live footage as well.. you just need to use a tripod so the footage is 100% stable.

Grt from the Netherlands

That was a great tutorial Andrew! Keep up the great work!!

Andrew,

I know you're using Windows 7 (same here!) anyways, HOW come It always has the loading sign when you playing a movie from quicktime even though its not really loading anything? Any comments? Regardless, love the new tutorial and love you what've done to your hair ;) Haha

This is awesome. I'm Gonna do it now.

Thanks mr kramer.

The best way in the lessons ;)

Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Muy buen tutorial... he aprendido bastante

Thanks Andrew! This was a great tutorial!
I always wanted to make this "earth-pan" shot. Combined with graves and dinosaurs and more fun stuff maybe.
Does it help to have less or foreground elements in the shots you're panning to/from?

Great tutorial.

thanks from PAKISTAN

Nice tutorial.
Hopefully people will use it for their own stuff this time instead of downloading the project, clicking the rendering button and post it on youtube saying its their work.

Hello sir
This is really very g8 Tutorial.

Thank you so much...

Thanks...Verry good tutorial...
Video Copilot THE BEST

Thanks from Brazil...

This tutorial is amazing..o.o good job Andrew..can you composite this project with an Action Essentials 2 Garage Collapse scene! ;D very very amazing!!

cool!!!
Andrew, your great~!!great~!!great~!!
keep gonig,,,
Thanks a lot,,,

Andrew, your tutorials are really splendid! Was thinking last night to give you a shout and suggest a few ideas around future tutorials. So I'll just list them here right now and you can say 'sure' and do the shifty eye thing:

- Smallville tutorials to emulate all dem special super hero abilities like heat vision, super fast running, super high jumping, and others.

- Tutorial about a 'normal' moving character while everything around him is buzzing around at fast forward motion or slow motion as seen in the movie 21.

- End of the World tutorials like an atom bomb exploding over a city, tidal waves, or a meteorite smashing into earth and creating a shockwave.


The list goes on, but I'll stop here for now :)
I think in short, just a few tutorials to help the guys n' gals here create a few Heroes-like short movies. Now there's an idea! Perhaps you could host a competition on this site to see who creates the best super hero scene or something and give away something neat, like a Twitch/Riot Gear bundle or... something...

Anyways, keep up the GREAT work! :)

Take care

great job mr andrew

That was a good tutorial, nice technique will definitely use it as a transition on a project I'm working on. Thank you so much Andrew.

awesome!
thanks AK...

by the way guys i had a problem of image projecting but solved it... one tip the projection doest work (not visible and u cant see it it just white) if u have OpenGL - Always On hope it can help anyone
But the tutorial is awsome!!!!!

You are a GENIUS Andrew!!!!!!! Thank you so much ;)

Vraiment un très bon Tutorial. ;)
Merci !!!

Thank you dude!

You can create a better Time ease effect using Timewarp and the graph editor, although im sure that the CC Time Remap plugin is better.

great tutorial

Interesting, already trying it with live action!

thxn adrew !! providing such a nice tutorials..............

Another awesome tutorial from the AK(47) himself... Thank you kindly for putting so much effort into something that is completely free! It rocks the block.

hi ,
great tut man


Ani (India)

Excellent as always

I was waiting for this tutorial for a life :) Awesome! Thanks

I have a question I would love to hear an answear to. It this effect possible to do with live footage? If so, how do you do it?

Taking the photos and the live footage from the same direction, then masking out the actors the first seconds, perhaps?

Great Tutorial!! Thanks.. (^___^)

Great job man i`ll always put your name in the credit :] " i do some AFX montage "

i think i will tell

my system will restate anytime plz tell me what to do plz plz plz plz Andrew Kramer or any one plz i will suffering from one year

I´ve always wanted to create that effect. Thanks for the great tutorial!

Great tutorial.

I always wanted to see your video with the tutorial, now it is come true !! .

Also wanted to check if camera projections will work for the CC layers? In the sense if I apply CC Cylinder to a plane and will I be able to project on that? Will try that out anyway.

just Perfect!...tnx master

Andrew, you are the best AE teacher ever. Thank's for all your help!

Great tutorial Andrew! I was half expecting to see Sam buried in the dirt, but maybe next tutorial! Keep up the phenomenal (to say the least) work!

sick tutorial! great!

AMAZING TUTORIAL....GIVE US MORE ROCK SOLID TUTORIALS....CHEERS!!!!

You r the man...........Thank u

Very clever. I've actually been thinking of how to do an effect like this but with text. Thanks for the great techniques!

Excellent!!! Thank you so much
pakistan

Andrew thank you so much, your tutorials are the best in the biz bar none, and your freakin hilarious man! Keep doing what you do, its magic!

one word for this.... EPIC

@ paul above:

Yes, you can do this same effect in nuke, and probably even better since nuke has a much sturdier 3D portion to it. The technique is the same however. Lining up layers to each other, offsetting them in z space, etc.

Wonderful!

very great and very useful :D thank u so much

COOL VIDEO COPILOT!!!

Great job Andrew this remembers me the effect that use in Underground Cities in the History Channel. I always wanted to know how they did it. Thank you man.

I love you man!!! I really love you(I am not gay) I just love you:))

WOOT! can't wait to see it!

great..! thanks! from paraguay

you know what i like most? The part when you start acting funny i really looove it, because you know it's not really easy to find one of the USA guys funny, except for some very few ppl, i mean...

Any way..

Hello Andrew, Its GREAT ,YOU are the man ,I like all you works man.
