NEW TUTORIAL: Soul Removal
November 4th, 2008

In this frightening new tutorial we will be creating a flowing energy stream with organic distortion. It may not be Halloween but better late than never.

Watch Video

PS, I'm still jamming on this other big project and I'll be back full speed soon. If you have any questions or need help be sure to check out our forum.

Funny or Die just did the Charlie Sheen's Winning Recipes, and at about 3:14 into the video they totally used this technique:http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/bfb12aea47/charlie-sheen-s-winning-recipes
Looks awesome, as usual.

When you reversed the particles to look like you're giving him the soul you used a very quick shortcut to preview reversely.

Cool....

Sometimes you don't realize how easy/doable some of these effects really are until you see the work flow behind how they are achieved. Thanks AK

Well I just don't believe this. You must be psychic. Some friends and I are making a short for a class and we needed EXACTLY this effect. We've been scratching our noggins, but thanks to you, Mr. MindReader, we're saved. All together now:
"We're not worthy! We're not worthy!"
Thanks Andrew.
