Exellent video!!
I like the color and the contrast very much!
Is it made with FILM MAGIC PRO?
(I bought it some week ago)
Or is it colorista by red?

Nice work. Great editing and sound effect and film-like. The impact could be better i think, to short in time and somewhat unreal.

I thought it was awsome. The only thing I did not care for was the meteor when it looked like a lens flare. Other than that I loved all of it. I think it was great how he made someone playing solitare look interesting. Other than the obvious wonderful visuals (the meteor hitting the road, the hole it let) I loved after the meteor hits and Tino stands up and there is that flash of heat. Andrew....Did you do that by using your FMP 300 style preset? Fade it on and off? I thought it looked really cool. Great job and thanks for making it fun to watch.

Apart from the visual eyecandy.... what kind of playing cards did you use?
First I thought those are the standart Bicycle (red) ones, but the backs don't seem to be normal Bicycles at all... Care to tell which kind you used?

Looks like a hollywood-production! Great FX, but one question....
Who is the person in de reflection of the glasses? In the close-up, i can see a person standing in the street. I hope you have a explanation, Andrew. Else i have to report this shortest film ever at www.moviemistakes.com (JK).

I forgot to tell you how awesome this was in my previous post, I apologize!
Anyway, the first shot of the meteor when it slams into the ground could've wreaked more havoc.
(Car windows blowing out, car alarms, more explosive impact)
But it's over the top considering this tutorial is free.
The second shot just blew my mind, that was hollywood quality!
I especially liked the sparks going up.

Awesome video showing tracking and effects integration.
Couple of things caught my eye.
1.) As has been mentioned, a person reflected in the actor's glasses.
2.) As the meteor nears impact, you can clearly see that it's a bright, hot, piece of woop-ass danger... yet it doesn't cast any light on the road until the very moment it impacts.
Still... good job. Can't wait for the tutorial.

Very cool Andrew.
It's easy to be a critic on this forum. Truth be told about 97% of the critics on here cannot recreate this scene without you telling them how to step by step.
Your teachings are more than appreciated. We all know that if you were doing this for Fox, a major network or director the end result would be flawless.

Refering to the meteor video, i think obviously you focused on the FX jejejejejej, but it's great, maybe a little more of vibration on the impact but it was awesome. And congrats to your cat for the direction jejejeje

WOW...simply WOW...i must have left work JUST before this went up...i'm blown away!!! great job dude - can't wait for the tutorials
Just watched it....Great effects!!! I really wasn't too impressed since most of these things I saw you do already(Not to say they weren't good, but you've done them in tutorials) until I saw the crater in the road. The sound, the look, the feel. AWESOME!!!!
As you know a pointless plot though Which makes me sad, because the films I have done that actually have a plot are no way near as entertaining as this 3 minute piece
It made me laugh as he crushed the card in his hand. "Damn you meteor for ruining my game!"
Nice work Andrew....you could submit this to the Movie/Director reality show if they ever make another one.

Great job Andrew...and Tino....Loved the superb tracking of the hole as Tino walked around it.
My guess is that since Sam hasn't shown up yet, he will emerge from the crater as a tripped-out creature with face morphs right before he zaps Tino....we'll have to wait and see, huh?
Great job Andrew. Love the aditing, SFX, titling, music, shots, acting...everything.

Your cat clearly went to the "Jason Bourne School of Handheld Movie Making" didn't he? Or maybe that should be Pawheld.
Can't knock the effects your showcasing but the shaky camera movements - even though more than justified for this type of scene - pushed the limits of my personal taste. I would have preferred it de-emphasised just a tad.
What I espcially loved was Tino trying desperately to finish his game rather than 'do a runner' as he clearly should have!
really looking forward to the tuts though.

Hi Gerry
Maybe I sounded a little harsh about your criticisms.
On the subject of smoke trails, I think if it were a Comet (Deep Impact) ,then you could expect a lot of that. However this is a Meteor and for that matter, a very small one, so for this example, I think AK did a very good job of it, especially considering the time frame and his other commitments (which pay)..
However I do agree that criticism is a good thing on occasion and even the best in the busines are still learning.
Let's just say "it's not what your taught that matters, it's what you take away from it that counts"
Anyhow Gerry, no hard feeling mate. Hey maybe I'll join you all for that drink someday

Nice Andrew,
Like shooting, editing, vfx/post also nice color correction.
Two things, i think they need little correction:
1. first showing lens flare on a blue sky (motion tracking need correction)
2. black trail from a meteor (need better color correction, this black is very strong and i don't have good impression of distance/perspective/environment involving).
Everything but those two is great!
Regards from SERBIA!
VC Team, keep up the good work!

Yeah as AK said, if he didn't have to teach us how he makes this, then the final version would be even better. The matchmoving scene looks great as it is, with the smoke and debris. It's worth it for just that scene alone, learning accurate 3d matchmoving!
Overall, thanks very much!! Can't wait to see the tuts

Very impressive mr. Kramer!
Meteor has landed also here in Finland!
Influences of Michael Bay is definitely there. Liked the slow motion hero shot with rotating camera. It was great!
I liked it very much how the whole thing was filmed. Very movielike editing and camera handling. Tino also have talent for acting.
Effects are naturally great! I've been just looking for a good shattering and particleflow tutorial for 3ds max. So I'm dying to see those up coming tutorials.

Thank you, I am looking forward to the tutorials, and by the way that dude gerry is crazy, he's probably just jealous. Even though he had criticism for your meteor, I bet you he will watch every minute of the FREE tutorials. You are the only person doing this in the world, thats why so many people are like the teachers pet on this website. Free tutorials on this level, thank you again, and the best of luck to you with all your projects.

WOW this is awesome. Can't wait for the tutorials Andrew. Can I ask you a question or anybody who runs a studio or video production company, what camera is good for studio that makes short commercials and maybe music video in the future, price maybe between 3000-10000USD, or can u guys tell me what key features to look for in a professional video camera? I'm starting a studio for making advertisements and I'm doing a research on professional video cameras and I can hardly find any decent information about how to buy and what to look for in a pro video camera.

It takes me several hours to go through your tutorials because my computer just simply isn't as fast as it needs to be to run After Effects. Things like this however (as well as other things you have posted) make me sit through an unbelievable amount of "Freezing" and "Slow-as-Christmas rendering" just to see if I can pull off some of the amazing things you show us all to do in AE. The end result is always worth it. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

Yunno looks like my original comment was a little provocative going over the replys - GUYS/GALS! - I would never have taken up AE without Andies Instruction - FACT! but be a little more liberal - AK likes the feedback and I KNOW (at least I reckon so) that he can take a little criticism too. Jeez I'd love to go out for a beer with all the VCP crew and talk all night. Positive and neative coments SHOULD be welcome in fact I KNOW they are and I'm basing that on AK's personality as I know 'im as he has presented himself to us - Don't be vexed or angry - we all love this guy

I can certainly understand that Andrew. You are making videos for tutorials!
For example your helicopter project and Fringe intro looked GREAT and you can tell you spent a lot of time on them not to say you didn't spend a lot of time on the Meteor or any other tutorials.
I'm sure you have some what different mindset when creating tutorials for VCP and a client project.
Anyhow I'm a big fan of all your work you've taught me a lot.
thanks.

@ VCP FAN:
although I agree that that toyota one is kinda cooler, I must also say that I'm kinda inclined to think that they also used trapcode, well that's how it looks to me, they just played with the after effects of the impact more by adding more of an explosion and more smoke (and real smoke too I think), but as Andrew says above, his is for teaching.
I will certainly also use trapcode as the basis for my meteor and then add stuff like a meteor 3D model and more smoke effects and explosions and stuff, because I have more time and don't have millions of people eager to see how I did it like Andrew.
So thanks Andrew for teaching us the basic whereupon we can take the time to improve to our tastes.

With such explosion the cars' alarms should be beeping like hell, and the cars should have suffered some damage too

The meteor smoke trail looks a bit fake, too dark and solid for my taste but hey, I can't barely create smoke in AE.
Great work Andrew, thanks a lot for what you do for us.

To elaborate a bit
It's not always about what I can do or what is possible but rather, what I can TEACH in a reasonable amount of time, without making things too complicated for the majority of users.
In this example (THE METEOR), everything has to be methodical and repeatable because remember, I HAVE TEACH YOU how to do it!
I actually learn a lot this way. It's kind of like using a calculator all the time and then having to do it by hand because you have to explain what is happening
For example, making smoke trails in 3D max with AfterBurn takes me 5 minutes but that's just another program so I used particular instead because it is much easier.
It's actually one of the reasons I'm a bit reluctant share some of my professional projects on the site because people always ask me how things are made and sometimes I don't even remember. And usually at the end of a big project and no sleep, I don't want to!

You have some kind of 35mm lens adapter?
Is the same you writed about some months ago in the blog??
I DEFINITELY WANT IT!!

Definitely the most amazing (though short) piece of rubbish I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing. I loved it, keep this stuff coming Andrew. So glad your doing a bit more about integrating 3D.
Oh and Gerry, please remember that we are not here to criticise the final movie, we are here to learn stuff from one of the best and for FREE too.
Maybe once you've had a go at this one yourself, you'll discover a way to add the smoke etc. After all that's the whole idea of learning, putting the stuff you learn to some practical use and experimenting with it to make it unique to you.
Oh and to be honest if YouTube videos were of this quality, you may just see a few more errors in their attempts too, even though I have to admit there are certainly some very talented people out there.
All I can say is the tutorials are going to be awesome. I can't wait but I guess I'll have too eh!.

There are some great examples on Utube done by lesser mortals with cool smoke trails etc. and they swamp your attempt. I'm pretty dissapointed, but I also realize that you've only got so much time to devote to this - Broken street scene was pretty good though and the action overall was very good - I ejoyed the movie but that meteor .......sux

2) I wounder about Tino's Eye Glass was not affected
3) The reflection of his eye glass was showing A Man standing instead of a reflection of the Trails and Flare(May be it will be more interesting) as if there some danger coming
But really that's Awesome and very Great, we still wait for the Tutorial

That scene with solitaire-man standing up after the hit, reminds me of that scene with Bernie Mac in Transformers when he stands up and the camera circles around him after the car (bumblebee I think) let all the glass shatter (made an explosion?).

Hey there,
it??´s great and i can??´t wait seeing the (boujou)Tutorials.
But i have some positive critics, too. (so sorry, it??´s really great, but this thing i mentioned at the first watch)
There is a scene, i would expect the following:
the scene in the middle where tino is collecting the cards:
there was a camer??¡-walk to him - i think that take would be perfect beeing stabilized. You would have a dolly scene that is often used at these kind of scenes. (Ok, i know you made this great stuff during your "normal" life and i??´m surely the best english speaking or writing person on the planet) but for me it would make your movie perfect!

Tino definitely doesn't look like a solitaire geek with those tats. But maybe there is some esoteric underground solitaire scene I dunno about.

Nice Andrew, I wonder if you could have gotten some busted up blacktop from a road crew, and had a few pieces around Tino when he was lying on the ground, maybe even tossed a few smaller pieces at him, anyway looks Fantastic!
Great Job.
Great Job.

problem fixed Ak, I had the latest, but it would seem I had to go to control panel, display, settings, advanced, troubleshoot, and set the Set Hardware Acceleration Slider to the middle, disabling all DirectDraw and Direct 3D accelerations. Awesome film, should've stuck with the great name. Soli-terror. Where do you come up with this great stuff! haha

when you say the tutorials are coming soon do you mean days or weeks? just wondering no rush
Really cool guys. These are actually my favorite kinds of movies, super shorts packed with cool stuff.
awesome, I was just like hmm, why wont vcopilot load? and then I was like OH, they're putting it up! awesome! Now I can finally get some sleep and shut Safari off.
very very funny !
And the VFX... The totorials will be greaaaaat
Create a story arround the special effect is more funny
PS : The end credits... one of the most popular game (for old people)

That movie made me do movements and make noises I've never done before.
I've got a commercial to make and this effect is just what I need!
Will the tutorials be out before the end of the month?

My thoughts: The first effect where it comes crashing down in my opinion looked horrible, i thought it looked very fake and it really disappointed me, but when Tino is walking around the simmering crater in the ground that looked amazing! I was really expecting more from this, but just knowing the basic pipeline from 3d tracking software to a 3d application and how to set up a match move system is great so thanks for putting all this work in and making it free.

Love it. Sorry i confess i was one of the people updating my browser every second. i was part of the problem. but now ill be part of the solution.
Great great vfx. Now i REALLY REALLY cant wait for the tutorial of my life. im especially interested in the metoer crater on the ground and the 3d tracking part. I bought synth eyes just for this reason. I Cant wait. Thank u andrew for making life exciting!

Woah! that's awesome!!! Really excited to learn how to track the hole!(sorry for spoiler but it is obvious for a meteor when it hits) I usually can't get tracking to work in AE although i know for that you used boujou. Hope you get the site fixed up soon so others can see it.

Awsome job mr. Kramer! You possess trur artistery, not only in vfx but also in editing and sound and music.
So my question is: where do you get your music and sound from?
Thank you!
