Hey Andrew!

We have finished the trailer to our Resident Evil 4 prequel. This project is far from finished, but it was only made possible due to your genius. It is in German, but there is not much dialogue in it anyway.

THX from all our cast and crew!

rocking tut. i expect to see people breathing fire, too.

just thought i'd make everyone aware of another VCP product sighting.

i caught Rambo the other night and it seemed to use Action Movie Essentials elements pretty heavily. while the film used a ton of practical efects, it was nonetheless sweetened with scores of digital blood bursts. people seemed to explode into blood pretty often.

there's even a quick shot during the final battle where a bad guy's head is blown off and it is IDENTICAL to the assisted suicide tutorial, with what looked like the same blood burst.

if i'm right, i think that's the baddest-ass promo AME could have. Rambo approved.

Great tutorial as usually. I found very intresting that you used trapcode particular since it help to understand how to use the features of that great product.

The thing I most apreciated with buying Videocopilot Products is the tutorials included that show you a couple of great stuff you can do with the product itself. I am sure this tutorial will show up in the trapcode gallery / tutorials

Thanks for the sharing Andrew

You can create a similar effect with particle playground and CC particle World. Just use white circles and blur the end result. The reason i use particular is because it creates the best result and you have professional control over resistance and other physics.

Great tutorial as usual -one question, tho'. Do I HAVE to use Particular? I don't have it and don't have $300 in the budget. Can I achieve this effect using Particle Playground, just more time-consuming? Enjoying my Riot Gear and SFX DVD's!

The tutorial is great. Thanks. Is it possible to make smoke of a cigarette with this technique? What would be the settings of Particular? I'm not really familiar with this plug-in.

PS: That Schwarzenegger Freeze Video made me think of the hilarious Pulp Fiction F'ing Short Version. LOL.

PPS: CHILL OUT!
