Nice work guys

I have purchased the Adobe suit not knowing much about its capabilities. However it goes without saying such a large investment also needs training budget. You have put the seed in my head and my thirst for knowledge is growing. I think you make it quite plain why you put your tutorials out there, and that is to sell your products. You are not a charity to budding filmmakers but a business and I think people should recognise that fact. I will be buying more products from you and am also grateful for the free insight thus provided. I know I will have to pay to learn more, so it’s a win, win situation from my perspective!

Steve

Tell me plz how you rotate granade for footage? you have so ideal rotation whithout any bounses

Awesome video and tutorial as always! Would you be able to post the keyed files for the other two grenades? I have two of the round ones in the center and I'm too lazy to film and key them myself :/
Keep up the good work!

Congratulations for the tuts!!! only one question, where i can buy the guns and the grenades props?, there is any online shop or something?
thanks

What is that gun that you've used for this movie? Is it an cheap softair, or an expensive one? Metal oder plastics?
And where do i get so nice magazines with real (fake) bullets?

Thank You Andrew This A result of Many Your tutorials
My Freind Make It!

Hey Andrew you're a genius I'm from Spain, I'm a fan of your video editing, and besides learning a lot with your video tutorials, I congratulate you and I repeat that you're a genius, a greeting and have a friend here in Spain.

I would love a tutorial on that plasma grenade. I have a scene that would be perfect on. I started to model one based off of what little I can see in your tutorial video, but my texturing skills need a little more work. Any orthos or wireframes would be appreciated as well.

Awesome tutorial, one of my favorites so far (the shatter is up there on my list as well).

Caution: dont read this unless you had read my messages above and I strongly suggest you to copy my messages into your computers and read it
slowly and closely and take very big moment if you try to reply it.

I say again to everybody I want you read my messages and ideas (Professional Stuff) - (GB answer me) above very carefully on this page and also read the people answers.
I do apologize if I disturb or making anyone get upset or injured (no offence at all) including Mr.Andrew Kramer and his Company
but I think the ideas should provide for anyone so we can create more advanced
world with evolution and thought and ideas, dont remain thousand years left with one idea and reject the others.

try to get benefit from the others by taking the good thing from them and give them your thoughts and in that way I believe the world will change and the civilization will create.


1- I want to say that videcopilot.net is a company not just andrew kramer by himself, and I want you to ask yourselves why
company like this put and waste all that time and effort for creating tons of a tutorials??? of course there is payback in the other side
of course they get paid a lot of many for doing that. for that reason I ask andrew and the whole company to create tutorials for you not
for me because (without any offences) Iam not needing repetitive tutorials with curve adjustment and particle system effects etc... and so
as you people unless you are a beginner.

2- So you may say will what Mr.Kramer and his company will get from all of this in the end then I will give an example for that,
high budget movies like a transformer - titanic - avatar - spider man - 2012 and many others... what they will get from
working months and months and may be years and spending 200 million dollars or so?? my answer
they will get 1,000,000,000 dollars or higher number and prizes and oscars and you count.
so if videocopilot company will think that way of course they will become the best website video tutorials ever
created in the internet of human history and even way better than bringing a teacher to teach you at your home or in school or at any where else
I think now you see how its work. everybody will get the profit in the end by giving and taking.

3- I just want to say to this guy (Ilaiya Bharathi)any anyone else who think the way he believe, you said there is a lot of forum and I have to get
pay to learn these advanced stuff ok now that mean you accuse "videocopilot.net" that is for beginner people instead as if its
professional video tutorials website as its shows on the title bar while I try to develop the site for you not for me Iam who putting the ideas for you
because I know everybody wants the biggest hits.
and Please people don't get me wrong (((people concentrate in this point please))).

4- You may ask me why dont you do all that things for us and show us that and that would really what everybody want in the end
the answer is because Im not a company Im just putting ideas to these websites and I want you to vote on that to make this website
the best in history of the internet as video tutorials website.
and by the way Im professional in a lot of software and almost expert in some of them in computer science
but I never had a chance to worked on a website company before in the internet.

5- People will ask me why did you choose this website? my answer is because I found a lot of people like this site and I really want to encourage you to vote on
developing that.

I really hope my language very understandable

My Regards for everybody and specialy for Mr.Andrew Kramer and his Company.
and Try My Ideas and Advices it Won't Be Disappointed I Recommend You To Try it.

Wow...the comments are getting longer and longer its just shows how popular videocopilot is..keep it up andrew! i think mr. professional stuff needs help hehehe this site is not only for beginners you know alot of proffessional people dont know that theres still alot to learned in AE thats why we have to keep on track with the oracle mr andrew kramer...... :)

Andrew Awesome tut! This was one of the greatest tut you did. And i liked it.Thanks for this great tut!

Awesome tutorial Andrew! perhaps.. you can share all of the three green screen grenades? :P Thanks

Sorry "Professional Stuff", but you are a professional, you are getting paid and this is what you do. If you can't model a grenade, go to one of the many sites that teach you how to model, so what if it costs you 45 bucks. You can't have Andrew Kramer holding your hand throughout your career. Andrew teaches initiative and "sideways" thinking just as much as how to tint something dark green.
Always something useful in every tutorial.

Amazing Tut... Learned lot of stuff from u.. U r such an INSPIRATION. Watched ur movie SUPER 8 yesterday... great use of OPTICAL FLARES... didn't know it can be used in so many diffrent scenes...it lookd so cool.... Once again thanks for sharing ur knowledge with us... U R A LEGEND. Hope i could be like u one day....Warm wishes

Mr.Gary Bird I don't want to argue with you but let me tell you
these things:
1- I didn't insult anybody

2- let me ask you this:
don't you know how to use curve adjustment? don't you know how to use masking technique?? don't you know how to use some effects??? don't you know how to use a simple 2D tracking feature inside after effects???? don't you know how to use some expressions?????

3- if you don't know then my advice for you to check out this site (videocopilot) from basic stuff and go higher ok???

4- I encourage Mr.Kramer to create advance professional stuff like 2012 film or avatar or transformer and many others because Mr.kramer is not one guy Mr.Gary Bird they are company ok???????

5-let me ask another question don't you want to learn or at least to know (if you are beginner) how to create advanced professional 3D stuff in 3d max or any other 3d package applications just like high budget movies Im pretty sure you do and everybody would.

6- if you don't like my article then everyone have a view point
and I think its the free way to express what you have inside your mind.

answer me????

u guys r great.

you're not gonna share the greenscreen footage are you? :[

Heyy! Andrew Kramer, my name is Yasmani Ceballos. My friend Lester Suri and I have gathered some money to buy your nice dvd and we are learning a lot from your tutorials and we have done very interesting things. We followed your tutorials here in Cuba. We would like that in an upcoming tutorial you make a realistic "tornado". Sorry for my English.

I've noticed some very videocopilot-esque effects in the trailer for "The Darkest Hour". Was this your doing?

Also, great tutorial and greetings from Australia!

I have no idea what you are talking about. haha I love this site and the content. Just the way it is.

Everybody read this carefully, and especially Mr. Andrew Kramer and VideoCopilot Company and please mr. andrew
show (Display) this message in the first line:

You are doing a lot of tutorials and thanks for that but what the benefit for professional people?? the answer is nothin!!
because your (with all my respects) your tutorials is repetitive I mean you just try to use after effects
and always repeat these steps a lot such as (color correction and curve adjustment and fast blur and so on...)
so in this grenade tutorial you should be show people how did you remove the string and keying the
grenade or how to make it in 3D max instead of color correction and box blur and all that
beginner stuff so if you can't, don't do more tutorials and if you could show the professional
people that. there is a lot of movies like 2012 and transformer and avatar and so on...
created using cgi technique try to give some tips if you can about how to create it even if you can't create
the whole geometry. so beginner people say thanks for these repetitive beginner tutorials I have been read somewhere
someday a comment and it says VideoCopilot.net for begginer people not for professionals actually.
and I agree with that with 85 - 97 precent.
so I hope you read this and reply it and make it first message on this page
so all the people can read it and if you can't then I will say there is no democracy and freedom to express the real thing.

My regards for you

For some reason I can't play the recent tutorials on my iPhone. I like to watch them while at work. I truly appreciate the value of your tutorials Andrew. They've helped me reach a level that I never thought I could. I'm almost done with my first short film, and it has required so much work in AE and in 3dsMax, but every time I run into problems I always find the answers in your archived tutorials. Thanks so much!

Andrew, if you can make a plug in that masks out rubbers for the LA adult film industry you could make at least a million!

Andrew Kramer for president!

Ahaa, Great Tutor :D

Awesome tutorial, always helpful! But could you please make a tutorial on how make movies in sound-waves to music like in the intro to the Justin Timberlake song Lovestoned. :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUuKvHHt8Sk

Andrew, do you plan to do a video lessons on 3D graphics?? Some of the things I've seen, is impressive!

Wow
awesome!!!

Personally, I'd like to see Sam throw Element in my direction :o)

Just thought you should know again, you've got a massive plug and credit from the guys at wed film academy. tutorial editing "Making a cinematic trailer 1".

=)

Just wanted to say that I saw your friend in a Volvo add on TV!

Regards from Sweden,

Bengin

Excellent work as always. Thanks Andrew! Any idea when your 3d particle system for AE will be available?

Thanks Andrew. You're simply awesome!!!

Hi Andrew , Thank you very much for this new tutorial .

Thanks! I really enjoyed it!

Andrew you are jst too much bro... I gat 2 giv it 2 u...

Andrew, btw you might wanna freeze the first clip to make sure the granade is not rotatin in Sam's hand : )
However, you're getting better and better in tutorial making!

PS: I'm still looking forward for tutorial on the disintegrating text you made in DemonCam :)

Thank you, Andrew!! You are the master of special effects, very nravyatsya your lessons, although it is a pity that in English, but in Russia ??????????? only half of the lessons. I would like more lessons on 3D graphics, the introduction of 3D objects in the video, animation.

Thanx for the tutorial but what about the Demon Cam tutorials?
like the green ball and the shatter woman?
thank you

Well, I think I´m addicted to your tutorials. There are so many possibilities to interpret how to work with such great information on how to work with After Effects.

So thanks to all persons who were involved in these 125 (!) tutorials and especially to Andrew, who knows how to present them in a funny and interesting way.

Best regards from Germany! ;)
