More Filming
March 10th, 2009

I'm going out again today for one of the last days of shooting for Action Essentials 2. We are also planning a little short film with Sam to show off some of the impressive elements available. We will not being using any practical effects in the film but rather enhance it entirely in post with Action Essentials.

Now where's my bullet proof vest...

Andrew,

While not an Action Essentials topic, I just wanted to give a shout out to you in CA. I teach a Video Arts class in high school, and we just started a unit on compositing. We are using you Lightsaber V2 preset, and I have your "Basic Training" as required viewing for the students. It's been great! Thanks for a great teaching tool!. I hope to add your products to some of our classes computer data base, when we have the cash for it. Again, great stuff. I personally have been using your stuff for the last two years.

Thanks again,

Great, I love all your tutorials and I really want some of the DVD's, I just don't have the money. I can't wait until this one comes out, so I can have another thing that I want but can't get.
Anyway, I just thought I'd mention that you're on the Wikipedia page for After Effects:

I know a lot of Unis and colleges have final film projects being filmed right now and are going in to post in April

My guess is that would be a prime time to release it

I left out the word vest. Make sure Sam has a bullet-proof vest. That way he'll still be around for poking fun at and more tutorials.
