It's official! On Tuesday August 18, I'll be presenting at Digital Media Artists Los Angeles with some fun After Effects tips and I want you to be there! The meeting is FREE but please register on the event website to be eligible for special door prizes.

I think this is the first time doing a presentation in LA so I hope you guys can come out. The seating seems to be first-come first-serve so bring your own seat... er.. umm... just come early I guess.

Here is an exciting look into the smaller side of Hollywood.

Thanks to Jim for the link. Direct Link.

Are you a genius programmer? Would you like to develop awesome After Effects Plug-ins? We are building a small team of developers and we want to talk to you. We have several ideas and need some professional code monkeys to help us bring them to life.

Adobe Development Specifications can be found here:

Please email me at info^at^videocopilot.net and please use the SUBJECT: "Developer Inquiry".

Thanks!

PS, I don't work for Adobe. Not sure why people thought that, but we are developing third party tools like our Twitch plug-in to enhance AE's capabilities and save you time.

In order to realize our dreams we must find creative ways to accomplish them. Computer visual effects have given us great opportunities to create amazing cinema but we should not forget to combine the past with the present.

Perhaps then, you can afford to buy a fancy new car!

One of the primary techniques in the recent Light Casting tutorial is the ability to add multiple lights in your scene. These additional lights will automatically interact with the surface based on intensity, distance and color so you can worry about more important things like building robots.
