There is a new plug in out Called Form. I've used it and it's pretty cool. Check out the information here and be sure to read some of the the help files to see how it works and the impressive possibilities. I'll probably do a tutorial or 2 in the future but I wanted to start spreading the word.
There area also some tutorial demonstrations at the bottom of this page: https://www.redgiantsoftware.com/resources.html
Like many others, I patiently waited for the release of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare only to find a special surprise. It seems that someone down at Infinity Ward used Action Movie Essentials for much of the in-game blood.
While playing the game for the first time I noticed something looked familiar. But it wasn't until I started using the Sniper scope that I saw the blood up close. So I did a screen capture of my gameplay and opened it in After Effects.
I also brought in some of the blood from Action Movie Essentials that seemed like possible candidates. After scrubbing through a few frames I could see that the AME blood fit over the in-game blood like a fingerprint. It was identical except for and additional layer of small blood particles generated by the game makers.
Roll over images to see comparison.
This was a exciting surprise for all of us at Video Copilot, especially since we are all fans of the game series. They even used a lot of the blood for the in-game cinematics, driving the rather interesting story.
The individuals that worked on the game did an excellent job blending the blood into the 3d game play too. The blood reacts to scene lighting as the time of day changes throughout the game. Aside from this effect, the game also has many amazing particle effects and spectacular graphics that we had nothing to do with... but it's nice to know that we had a small role.

Our newest product is now available on the purchase page along with some sweet new bundles. We've pack this product with so much stuff it will take you plenty of time to get through it all. With all of the video elements, tutorials and the Twister preset, it's time to get creative with Evolution.
I've been getting a few questions about how I created the promo Video for Evolution. Click here to see a the mini breakdown.
NOTE: I'm just consolidating the blog by making it a subpage.
This is one of the seven tutorials included with Evolution that I decided to put online for free. This tutorial highlights one of the cool features of Evolution, the Twister Preset.
Now, I know this tutorial doesn't help anyone right now, but I wanted to show you first hand how this product works. We will also be releasing more free tutorials, that are not on the DVD, to show even more ways to use this great product.
Of course the twister preset works with virtually all languages of After Effects and as our good friend Aharon Rabinowitz pointed out, you can use this preset with other video elements like Riot Gear as well.
Hope to see you on November 12th 2007!
