Holiday Title with Evolution

December 14th, 2009

To help with your holiday graphics, Save 40% on our design collection Evolution all this week.
UPDATE: Sale ended Friday. Happy Holidays!

Evolution is 100% downloadable and available after purchase!

For those customers who own Evolution, please enjoy this free project file for After Effects CS3 and CS4. The title design uses only 1 of the 155 elements and all you need to do is relink the one missing file with your Evolution collection. You may also need this font and possibly a snowcone.

Be sure to check out our other great products and gifts from the Video Copilot online store at everyday low prices! Your support keeps this site going and might also keeps Sam Loya off the streets (Maybe).

Andrew,
Unless I am very much mistaken, I believe that CanesVision, the crew who run the video and graphics on the technology for the Carolina Hurricanes, have been using an edited version of this title on the Videoboards for the month of December.

I have also seen them use some of the Evolution elements on other in-game material too.

Just thought it worth writing about. Good Stuff!

Hey Andrew,

Thanks for a great year of helpful and informative materials.

I've posted a holiday video we did this year for everyone.

It combines the use of Twitch, Action Footage Essentials, Designer Sound Effects, and other various techniques featured on this site.

Enjoy.

I couldn't think of another place to put this so I'll just comment here. I just now saw Star Trek for the first time on DVD. During the commentary J.J. mentioned you for doing the titles

- I just thought that was cool and wanted to comment on it.

OMG first time blogger long time fan of the work andrew and the staff at video copilot put out!! You've taught me so much and have made me very confident in my work flow with After Effects. Although i LOVE your work in AE i also was amazed by the 3D vines tutorial!! i guess what i'm getting at with all of this petty small talk is MORE 3D STUDIO MAX TUTORIALS with using AE to composite color correct, ect. lol or just use Trapcode's form and approach 3D that way hahah.. either way i would love to see Andrew's talents with those plug ins / software

Thanks!!

HI ANDREW

I just watched the AVATAR... today.....FANTABULOUS... It is one the best movies ever made in terms of visual fx and having a look at the making of the movie...jaw dropping...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ7f0c30SZ0&feature=related

here is a link to the making... the marking goes way beyond basic understanding....

James Cameroon sure knows to break barriers... (of course Steven Spielberg too)..

Sure do have a look at the video very inspiring.

cheers

Question: Does anyone have the ability to save this project into a format compatible with After Effects 7? I don't know if it can be done or if it's been done before (and with some of the other proj files like the fire text one) but if so please let me know cuz I'd love to play with these projects

Thank You yet again Andrew Kramer for additional content and tutorials, can't wait to purchase Optical flares when it comes out, they looked outstanding in Star Trek!

May you and your family have a great Holiday season!

PS: However, I do have a question, the smudge shot, how did you achieve that by using an actual lense in a studio shoot, or was it photoshop/AE Montague?

If I didn't already own this, now would by my chance to get it. To those of you who don't, if you have the money, it's more than worth it. As are all of the products from VideoCopilot

Check out the trailer I made for a live show in Toronto this Friday. All of the FX shots were done using Andrew Kramer's tutorials and products.

How do u come up with this stuff, do u like, see a commercial and recreate something like or whats. anyway, after i got evolution i forgot there where any tutorials so i just figured stuff out on my own, but theres one problem, my little preset/ plugin thing to make it so all the evolutions are stuck together by a null object doesn't work. ive watched the tut on it, and followed it step by step but it doesn't function properly.

Well, i hate using other peoples ideas, especially yours, so im just gonna make something similar, but i dont know where you got that background.

I am already noticing some new hair growth and I think I look slimmer. It's true! Chicks dig guys who use Evolution!
