Coming Soon...
July 19th, 2007

UPDATE: Easy now ; ) Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The $20 Tutorial DVD is simply for those who would like to view the tutorials offline, but you can still view them online for free. I also didn't want to give all of my secrets away but we are also including an Ipod version of the tutorials so that you can put them on your mobile devices to watch on the go.

You can also buy these clouds instead : )
https://artbeats.com/prod/product.php?pg=1&id=247

Video Copilot Tour: We are going to film a tour of the facility so that you don't have to travel. We'll take you through the fun zone.

_____________________________

Well we're all working hard as I'm sure many of you are and we will be adding many great things to the site. Including some great new tutorials and information. And for those who have been wondering, I'm also planning to put together a DVD with all of the free tutorials once we get to number 50. It will also include the Sin City Tutorial plus the Epic Presets. Oh, and did I mention it will cost only $20.

We are also working on a special surprise that I can't mention yet.

...and yes I love doing that ; )

Additionally, I received an email from someone about doing a tour of Video Copilot, and that is also something coming soon. Then you can see where we work and how the magic is made.
One day at a time...

yeah. Sorry about that. Actually, I'm on windows, but since my typing chops are pretty poor when I'm rushing, I ran it through MS word first. Copy > Paste. VC's blogging mechanism didn't like it.

Hey Andrew...Great tuts!

Is there a release date yet for this new DVD? I am very interested in the Sin City tut.

I read that this was an extra on one of your other DVD's, shame it isn't on this site? You could add it toward you 50 target...! Lol
I was wondering if it was just a colour pass that was used or did you also add some Riot Gear stuff and green screen?

I have my money ready and waiting for you New DVD....I think it will be a BARGIN!! especially as it works out to a little less than 10 british pounds!

Keep it up!

Kind Regards,
Martin from London, UK

Hey Andrew
Can i just say Ive bought 4 of your DVDs.. and selling the lessons you have on this site for a mere $20 is cutting yourself short.
You spend so much time dedicating your time to this site, and we advantage from it more that you do.. Bump up the price buddy! make some cash of us...after all we're making it off you when you we share your knowledge.. Atleast do it for the baby!!!
$20 man .. may as well give it away, or just leave it on this site.

Andrew's AE tutorials are the best on the web, and it's well worth buying some of his product just to keep this site alive. Think of it as a donation.

There are time controls at the bottom of the video player on the Serious FX DVD. Is your resolution high enough? Also, the tutorials will be just as they are online with the player controls.

Just curious if the tutorials will be like the ones from the Serious FX DVD where you can only pause them....or will you be able to scrub through them to go back in time or ahead? I love the seriuous FX DVD but sometimes when following the projects you need to go back to see how you did something....maybe you missed something but you cant unless you watch it all over again.

Ok, I guess you guys are right, andrew is the best, its just that I find it hard to save up for stuff with my $5 per week allowance.

And I did pay for AE, But I do know how to get it free, I didnt, I got it for my birthday lol.
---------

T2024 - when the DVD comes out I'll buy you a copy myself. You need to ask for a raise in that allowance. When I 10 years old back in the 70's I was getting twice that!

And before anyone bashes me about be insensitive to the possibility that his family has a lower economic status than most, keep in mind that the kid's playing with software that costs more than my first car!

I've learned more about AE from this site than from a dozen or so books and the entire Total Training AE series. Trust me, VC's products are a steal at twice the price!

"Andrew, my gentile friend, all I can say is that this Jew at least sees the value in what you're doing and really appreciates it." - Aharon Rabinowitz

I???ve known Andrew for a while, and he puts more work into what he does than anyone I know. His tutorials show you how to do what the pros are doing, and he gives you that information for free. I???ve been using After Effects since Version 3, and I have learned a ton from Andrew???s stuff here and at creative cow. I wish I had one ounce his style and creativity. I know a lot of people in this industry (I've been in TV production for about 10 years), but I haven???t known anyone who???s as talented as him and who's still willing to give this much to people at no cost.

To top that off, he provides tools like Action Movie Essentials and Riot Gear at a fraction of what they are worth. If you look at what ANYONE else is selling vs. the price of what VideoCopilot is selling, it???s not even a comparison. $50 for matted stock footage clips? Try $150 or $500 at most other places! That???s if you can even find comparable clips.

By putting the tutorials on a DVD, all that Andrew is doing is finding a way to support this awesome site, without any cost to you ??? unless you want to buy it. Even if you don???t buy anything here, the tutorials are still available to you.

So what???s the beef?

Andrew, my gentile friend, all I can say is that this Jew at least sees the value in what you???re doing and really appreciates it.

???And, for the record, there were a few Jewish cowboys, ladies and gentlemen. Big guys who were great shots and spent money freely. ??? -- Mr. Bergstrom's lesson on the American West, ``Lisa's Substitute'' (The Simpsons)

locke from england, Andrew is making these tutorials for free, go and search all over the internet but you won't find a better place then video copilot, this site is probably one of the most famous site in after effects tutorials and i can't even think of the number of peoples who i have met on the internet making movies from this site + if you do find a site after 2 weeks of intense search which got better tutorials then this site, then its probably just a fat guy talking mono and sounds angry and sad about his life. Conclusion: This site is the best on you can find, believe me, i have searched for good tutorials before i found this site

Keep it up Andrew and don't bother to read comments by kids who don't know what great tutorials are PS: Put up a fond on this site, you deserve extra cash for these tutorials!
18 years ago
As I said earlier 20 bucks is an awesome price for 50(!) thoroughly-done, very informative and impressive tutorials plus some extra nice stuff.

And for those who don't know what "Sin City"-tutorial is; It's a tutorial that teaches you a nice technique how to make the black-and white with a colored area effect which is used in Sin City movie, very good!

Peace out!

Honestly if you look at the QUALITY of what these tutorials are teaching he could easily charge well over $50 for just some let alone 50 tutorials for $20. I haven't found anyone else on the net as good as Andrew in terms of quality and real world application of his tutorials. When the DVD is ready put me down for one!

Hey Andrew... $20.00 sounds great! I'm really looking forward to the offline tutorials. I think you have very reasonable prices and good, quality work. I've bought other video tutorials from some of the guys at Creative Cow... and (no offense to anyone) but yours are by far the best. You have a very clean, systimatic, and user-friendly approach with each lesson. Oh... yes, and don't forget the humor... you got to love the humor!

Don really does speak for all of us, Andrew.

Teaching is a noble art, something not enough pursue and even less are good at. For you to be able to teach in a way that all your visitors can leave with more knowledge than they came with and put it into a practical use that improves the quality of their life through hobby or work, that's just simply divine.

I know I'm not the only one feeling this, but you, and I'm obligated to mention Aharon Rabinowitz due to his same qualities, are the type of person that would have excelled at anything you would have applied yourself to. If you were a doctor, you would probably have a website called Surgery CoPilot where you offered awesome advice on how to perform a triple bypass.

From the bottom of my heart and everyone here, we say thank you for the time that you put into this site, and into this community and at the other communities like CreativeCow.

This thanks of course extends to Sam Loya, Tino, and the rest of your crew that help you out and make asses of yourself for the sake of teaching people you don't even know about something you have a real passion for.

I don't know why I just got all mushy, but I felt that with all my heart. Now that I feel like I shattered my masculinity I need to go chop wood or do something manly.

True thanks though.

Hey Andrew!
Personally I can't wait for the free tutorials on CD. Always like to have a back up, especially with something I use in my job nearly EVERY single day, so you got my $20.00 anytime you want it.

It'll go nicely with the Real Clouds, Action Movie Essentials, Serious FX, and Film Magic Pro cd's that I currently own. I'm sure I'm like most folks who can't afford to buy everything single thing you put out (I'm still trying to figure out which kidney to sell to get Designer Sound FX), but I do what I can to help support your site. Why? Words cannot express how much I appreciate this place you've created. Before I found this VCP I was simply an After Effects hack in a small town TV station. Well, I'm still a hack from a small town TV station, but man my stuff looks good now. Every time I come to this site I find some new bit of information, hint or tutorial that I can use to make look like a video god at work.

Thank you for having the passion, drive and sense of humor to put up with our constant craving and sometimes whining for more tutorials and content. We can't help ourselves, you just make it too easy for us to look good and impress the folks we work and hang out with. Thanks!

$20 bucks for collecting 50 tutorials, plus the project files? That's really quite reasonable.

To clancy30 near the top: The "Man on Fire" editing technique is discussed in Stu Maschwitz's "The DV Rebel's Guide" book, which I *highly* recommend to those interested in filmmaking. The author is a big fan of After Effects and includes an AE project file to create the look you are asking about. You should check it out (look on page 115).

I don't know why some people attack Videocopilot. I visit this site for a long time and I remember that they had only 5 tutorials.
I'm very grateful to Andrew and to Videocopilot for all the free knowledge.

In Mexico it is very complicated to find this type of sites.

At this moment I don't have any of the products. Just waiting to clear my credit card to buy them. You know... debts

You can improve a lot, even if you can create your own stuffs. In my case, I already know how to create Muzzle flashes and explosions, but always is good to have extra help.

We need to respect the people who help us, like Andrew Kramer or Aharon Rabinowitz from CreativeCow.

I think it is time to give them something back, and the way to do that is buying some of the products.

Not a comercial but I hope a 50% coupon ; )

I was wondering the other day whether the idea to put all these tuts on a DVD and sell them just hadn't occured to you, yet, or if there were reasons not apparent to me for not doing it. Personally I think its a good idea (not overpriced at all) and I would order it, but I think I'm gonna wait for something else to order with it, 'cause S&H to Germany is 14$, just about doubling the price.

I've learned more about After Effects from Video Copilot than from any other source. Not only the cool techniques and effects that Andrew shares but overall AE skills - AE in the real world!

$20 is diddly-squat to keep the love flowin'

Riot Gear is the best $100 I've spent on video stuff in a long time.

Just waiting to clear some space on the credit card so I can buy Designer Sound FX

Thanks again Andrew!!

@ Alexander Jansen. That's a great idea to take the dvd on set with you. It would speed up the post a lot f you could watch the tutorial once before you shoot to remember anything that you might need to do, and otherwise would forget.

Thanks for the support everyone.

This website has a lot of full resolution, high quality videos that require a lot of bandwidth every month, dedicated hosting is expensive and you'll notice we do not have advertisements. It is from the support of everyone here that I can keep this place running strong with free tutorials almost every week. That and a lot of Mountain Dew.

I'm leaving for the night so please let us all move on and keep this a positive place to hang out.

Thanks a lot,
Andrew

First off all; t2024 you must be either very young or very dumb. Since you havent read the news properly. The whole idea behind the DVD is to sell cheap and take it with you on-set etc. you can skip buying the dvd and just watch them free online.. Get it?! The products aren't overprized at all, they are made for people that knows how to put them to use, not for some one who has used AE for two weeks. The rather childish flaming is mostly a result of people who hasent read the newr thouroughly..
All hail VCP.
Cant wait for the tour!

Go look at artbeats and compare the prices. Andrew wins!! The man has a kid on the way, return the support that he has given all of us!!!

I really love the idea of the VCP Tour!!!
I wanted to make one for my website (http://www.et-films.net)
but I took apart my rack and my monitors and everything for
remodeling my home studio lol Pretty cool stuff. I am looking forward to that!! and I am going to buy the DVD..and see what that SinCity one is

I've been updating my site all the time now!
http://www.et-films.net
If memory serves, the Sin City was a free tutorial he added as a bonus for past purchase(s). So you could use your invoice order and download it for free.

I don't know of anyone who has done more for FREE or more to build this kind of community than AK. Seriously and I'm not blowing sunshine up your ass Andrew. (Don't want it to go to your head)

I find T2024's comments, how would I describe them... Weaksauce. Annoying. Out of touch with reality. Not worth trying to explain things to.

Clancy, you can do a search on my name in Google or Reliant Films. I think 90% of my stuff is out there on Google Video or Youtube. The rest, I'm afraid you'll have to download. If you can't view the downloaded versions, you'll need to update your Media Player. I don't know why that would be though.
Andrew Dick
18 years ago
The sin city tutorial came as a special link with action movie essentials quite a bit ago...It's a tutorial that shows you how to take footage and make only the red color you want appear(also takes advantage of lighting options to make for a better B&W video)

T2024, First off it's not 50$, and if you object so much then you can surely continue watching on this site. I'm going to purchase a copy because Andrew Kramer started me off in AE...Before i didn't even understand why anyone wanted it!

I also know Andrew puts extras that help us discover new ways to use after effects that i didn't think possible! So it's fine if you don't want to pay $20 to enjoy another fine product and support the site...
18 years ago
I agree with mark becuase belive me i dig the internet for stuff like that i mean i'v been every where and i work hard and iam a spender dont get me wrong i dont have alot of money .for the stuff we do as far as film you cant find stuff like this just drag and drop for cheap i went to 1 website 1 time and i was looking for fire maybe i cant remember and the price was so expensive that i jumped off my computer and start cusing and fusing and i shot my computer .so this stuff is good for us becuse we are not that good ,some of us some people here are amazing with thier work .and for him to do that i never came across some one will do all this for free. thats all.
18 years ago
Come on guys seriously whats $20. What about Andrew's exspense in producing these things ie. disc, labels etc. Not to mention time.

If any one is that concerned about shelling out $20 you can always watch them online. Me personally I'm more than happy to part with $20 to get a copy of these turtorials.

I don't normally partake in such silly arguments, but T2024, are you for real? Why should anyone give you anything for free? Seriously. If you find 20 bucks too expensive in an industry that costs a truckload of coin to produce stuff, then you're playing the wrong game [/end rant]

well, thing is on his dvds he has alot of extras, for example the videostreams hd has the project file, and the hd quality of them is simply amazing, andrews things arent your run of the muck, half quality things, i dont have real clouds but im sure that the resoloution in them is great, and the quality is much better than if you set up a time lapse webcam software with yourwebcam, pointed it at the clouds and let it do its business, andrews things are made professionaly, and with quality, every cent you pay makes up for the quality in these dvds, heck where else can you find such amazing presets, sure you can do similair effects, but andrew used his time and effort to put together a bunch of presets, that work on any video, so that we dont have to waste our time doing it ourselfs.

@ Clancy-

Really cool slow motion tutorial on the Designer Sound FX DVD along with a new tool as ofAE 7.0 called Time warp that can really help add slow motion effects without having filmed in 60p.

@ T2024

You might find some better bargains at http://totaltraining.com :rollseyes:

So will the proceeds of these DVD be put towards a forums?

a tour as in show where they work to make these sweet tuts and DVD's, and everything else revolving around VCP ... I think. And to have contest would be AWESOME ANDREW. Another dude mentioned it in an earlier comment. That is a GREAT IDEA!!! I would totally join. Like maybe before a tut you tell everyone. OK try to do this effect, then everyone tries. Whoever is best they get something or just a big GOOD JOB by AK. But then you would post the tut and everyone would be like . OH I SHOULDA DONE IT THAT WAY.

Now Andrew, by tour do you mean a video of your office? I assume so, you don't want 100 people wandering through your office and stealing your secrets.

On another note, I seem to remember that your wife is having a baby soon. Congratulations! Perhaps that is the secret thing you're working on :p

Cheers,
Jacob.

Hey, I have an idea! How about for all those people who live internationally and can't make the trip to the US, you can put up these videos on your website where you can speak to them and tell them cool stuff.

Videocopilot FTW.

It'd be awesome to have motion graphics/special effects/matte paintings contests on Videocopilot.net. Or maybe if you could post a contest where people would have to make a sequence inspired by one of your tutorials...and then the members could vote for the best and you'd give some free stuff to the winners? This way, your blog would probably be more interactive, etc.

Anyway, just a guest.
Keep up the good work.

Justin
DAMMIT JIM! I'm a Doctor not a fortune teller!

Well, looking forward to it all AK. Sold! Can you explain in a little more detail what you mean by a Tour of Video Copilot? I mean I know I sleep behind the wheel from time to time but I don't ummm.. understand....

Cheers!
