Lot of Progress
August 20th, 2007

I've been working non stop with the new site, I've just finished some major features. I am very proud of the changes and content that will soon be available. I figure, if I'm moving to a better server, why not make the site better too. Obviously the main functioning of the site will be similar but I hope you will enjoy the new stuff.

I'm planning to have the site online Monday the 27th.

Now, my wife is still pregnant, our official due date is the 26th, which I don't think we will make. I'm hoping to just push a button and have it ready, but I cannot tell the future so don't worry if plans change slightly.

I'm fighting the clock to get the site online for you and now I know how Indiana Jones felt when that boulder was chasing him down. I can see the light...

@zach
hey man i just wanted to know the technique behind these page flips and folds animations. So i could use it on stuff like flipping pages of a magazine for a fashion designing webpage & at same time sticking movies of models doing catwalk or stuff!! there are never ending possibilities
please do not associate me with the guy mentioned by carter i just want to learn thats all
PS: cant wait for 27th of Monday
Zach

The video that DigitalFX posted seems very familiar, I thought the purpose of a tutorial was just to learn how to make a rep. of it. Not to copy the entire sequence and call it yours. Where's the fun in that.

Sorry if I offending anyone, But thats how i Look at it.

Don't think Mr.Kramer will retire(atleast dont hope so!), because it's one of his passions; Sure it takes alot of time, but when you see the startling response one guy can get for this kind of program, is quite inspiring for anyone I believe. Also, Andrew does work with film for a living, I think. So, I think we will see AK along time in the future! Maybe in some years, the site will be renamed to "K and the K" or something! Andrews' son will take over LucasArt or something at the age of 7! ; )


Good luck with your baby and the site, hope everyone works out great!

Hmmmm. On the whole issue surrounding the guy Carter mentioned: I think it'd be more constructive to try to encourage him to take the skills learned from the tutorials and apply them elsewhere, instead of just ridiculing him (that kind of attitude gives us a bad name).

Andrew, Monday is looming and I can't wait for the new site! Best of luck and I hope that button is prepped!

My God I can't believe that guy (previously mentioned by Carter) http://youtube.com/watch?v=SpQRLBYKvEA he's literally made almost no attempt at changing them or using the tutorials to make something original, he's just stuck them all togather and called them his own- I have so little respect for those types of people.. This is the kind of thing that makes me dislike youtube so much..

"How do you record your screen captures?
I use an early version of Camtasia Studio by http://TechSmith.com"
18 years ago
I was watching your demon face warp tutorial, (which was great by the way) and in it, you said that you can't put the liquify effect on the adjustment layer. After a bit of trial and error, I found a way to: First, apply the liquify effect to the adjustment layer. Next, parent the position of the adjustment layer to the tracking anchor point (pretty sure it's anchor point and not position), that way the adjustment layer follows along the tracking points. After that, click on the adjustment layer again, and in the effects panel, there should be "distortion mesh offset". Alt click the stopwatch or w/e, and towards the bottom of the screen, next to the timline, you should see the spiral that is used to parent layers. Parent the Distortion Mesh Offset to the position of the adjustment layer by clicking the spiral and dragging it to the Adjustment Layer Position. At this point, the liquify distortion should follow the position of the Adjustment Layer, which is following the tracking point; Therefore, the distortion should be following the image.

I hope this made sense, cause I'm horrible at explaining things. I love your tutorials! they help me so much, so keep it up!

For all the negative people(those that are mad for other using AK tuts, literaly) out there you need to reed all the post by Andre Kramer before you comment if you look in this blog for a post titled you will find this written by AK himself:

Remember we are a family here.

I know there are many other great videos I have received, so please repost them here for everyone to see. This is your chance to show us your stuff (not literally). And donâ??????t worry, we have all used the free tutorials to make videos ; ) I mean, who hasnâ??????t blown their head off?

Of course I encourage you guys & gals to go beyond the basic tutorials and apply the principals from all of them to your own projects and videos.

On a side note, when I make a free tutorial I donâ??????t mind if they are used professionally or in your own work. In fact I encourage it. If it helps you make some money or win a contest, all the better.

Iâ??????ve seen some Video Copilot stuff in news promos, show promos on the BBC, ABC, CBS and many other places on TV. If you have a link to VC in action please feel free to post it here as well.

Remember to keep the videos PG-13, fake violence is okay, of course.

So clearly buying Video Copilot products will only make you a better person, more productive and more attractive to beautiful women OR if you are a female, beautiful Men AND Women ; )
So you know what to do

I know that if this can be done I sopose to now it but I learn new things every day. I will waiting and searching for an answer and keep up the amazing work that you have done

@CARTER -
i cant believe that video on youtube - why doesn't he just post a piece of text that says -

"for my work please look at www.videocopilot.net"

i mean he didn't even complete the projects properly - no real 3d work there as he has messed it up..

I should just put on my CV - for an example of what i can do please look at the internet... - i can do it all... lol....

P.S - AK has your wife popped yet?

Wow...I feel like the web is an invaluable resource that can be used by beginners and amateurs alike. I thought that the earth zoom on the daily show was a good use of AK's tutorial. While there wasn't much done to change the look, it still was not an exact copy of the footage and worked well in the composition. Many of the other graphics (though most not as flashy as AK's tutorials) were original designs. However, what you have there, carter, is plagerism. It looks like he downloaded the tutorial files, rendered them and called them his own. I question if this guy knows anything about motion graphics or AE. And then he has the gall to place his picture at the end of the reel. If I ever see his face, I'll have some words for him. Anyway, thanks Andrew...keep up the good work.

Wow, never thought I'd see the day where people thought self accomplished art would be considered stolen... you guys should realize how hard a lot of this is and that calling it a steal isn't correct. I guess I stole my college education then... especially with that scholarship and all.
Trevor

They did an earth zoom to a globe for The Real World Sydney as well. It's in the main title at the very end of it. I mean, it's pretty different from what Andrew made in his tutorial, but he might have drawn something from these TUTs. Honestly, I don't know why everyone is getting bent out of shape about people using his tutorials for professional products. In the industry, when you get a job offer and they ask if you can do something in After Effects, you're initial response is yes (as long as you're sure it can be done in AE) even if you don't know how to do it. That's when you search the web for tutorials or similar projects to help you figure it out. People don't have months on end to just play around with stuff until it works. If you're on a deadline, you tap into fellow AE artists and get help.

Congratulation, drew.

Hey Andrew, I just wanted to add my voice to all those who have already said congrats - and to please take your time! Although many of us eagerly await each and every new tutorial, I think we all understand and support you in your REAL priority - the time you spend with your loved ones. Imagine that - a new baby, a new web site - and throngs of nearly-rabid fans. Happy times!

What I find amazing about it all is that it's a tutorial and teaches how to replicate the effect from start to finish, but they didn't even bother. They just vid captured the whole sequence and changed the color...

They could have at least used the tutorial to pick a different building and zoomed out of it, not blatantly rip it. Once you get the technique t takes what? 2 hours tops?

Earth Tutorial seen on THE DAILY SHOW.. CHECK IT OUT. Its so obvious this is Kramers work learned by a student of VCP tutorials.

Hey superville, all goverment footage that is not classified is legal to use. By definition it is public domain.
18 years ago
actually, NASA put together an earth zoom for a superbowl promotion a couple years ago. i can't remember which superbowl it was, but you can google it. i remember freaking out when i saw it and that was over 2 years ago. i kinda stole their version and would tweak the heads and tails of the footage to make it "my own video." imagine my joy when andrew graciously offered a much more LEGAL alternative.

Zony,
I think it is obvious they used Andrews tutorial here, but I also think Andrew will be psyched to see his work on network tv, I know I would. Also he has mentioned before that you are free to use any of these tutorials for your own commercial work. It only makes him look better and proves that even pros can learn from the great Jedi master.
Congrats Andrew, on both the child and the success you have going here.
18 years ago
The tutorials are free and for public use. Even the people in Hollywood are part of the public.

Sad to say, Andrew must have realized this when he contemplated free tutorials to begin with. At least we know where the inspiration and source comes from.

Lets just hope they bought SOMETHING....
Zony

Alexander, calm down man..

just because u couldnt think of a way to create a zoom effect yourself, doesn mean pros couldnt without AK, come on... AK is not the only one who did this -_-

Oh my god, I lol'ed. Those stupid jerks. All they do is to sit on their buts and copy. Not too hard beeing in showbizz, huh? That was outrageous, seriously. Those lazy jerks haven't even put a personal touch on the intro, and the earth overview/sun-thingy wasnt even very well made..

Hi Andrew,
speaking of babys, you could take a look at the little movie I did with my 1 year old girl. My girl had a open heart surgery at the age of 4 months and that film was a way for us to tell her story in a imaginative way. Best luck to you and your wife, can't wait to see the new site and the new tutorials.

Sorry it's in french, but no a lot of talking...

best wishes Andrew, and just do what the wife ask of you these last few days. I'm sure she is just as anxious as you are to see the baby. Take care of your family first, then the the site. A happy family makes a happy Andrew Kramer that makes your fans happy.
We will be here waiting here regardless. Who else is there to go to? Think of us as the web blogging paparazzi's. We just sit here waiting for new items to appear just to rant about how great it is and come back for more.. (snap, snap-camera) just testing my flash for when the new site comes online..

take care.

I hope it all goes well for your wife and baby (when he/she comes) If it interferes with the new site then so be it. It will be a much more important than the site so don`t worry about us. Worry about your new family member.

All the Best from the Uk

Shoot the baby coming out of your wife and then use the demon face technique on his face as it's coming out. That would be a blast. But then again, why would you ever do that?! lololololololololololol, i'm out.
