We are working hard adjusting the features for our new Lens Flare plug-in called Optical Flares but I wanted to tell you about some of the cool features . I've included some notes that might help you understand this plug-in better but expect a video presentation soon. We are still shooting for a "sometime in November" release.

UPDATE: For those interested, I posted a short response below.

I stumbled upon a fun behind the scenes video with Digital Domain that had a lot of interesting insights. I especially liked the environment rebuilding stuff towards the end of the video.

Check it out!

I was checking out a list of countries I could visit where someone might be willing to give me a place to sleep and a warm meal. So naturally I checked the list of visitors of Video Copilot by geographic location! I actually found it very interesting when I realized that we are connected so prominently across the world in such a unique personal way. This is truly an amazing time and incredible to be part of this community. Thanks to everyone for making this site what it is today and what it will be in the future!

Check out the list to see who's visiting and from where!

In this detailed tutorial we will combine 2 static shots into a single fluid camera animation from the surface to an underground garage. We'll use camera projection techniques and various textures to extend the scenery.

Video Update number two is online and we have several fun things to discuss in this slightly longer edition. We'll check out the sneak peak of this weeks video tutorial, plus my take on the new Canon 7D, digital SLR. There has been a lot of interest in Video SLR's and I wanted to look into it first hand. This discussion is a little more free but the Video blog world is starting to evolve ... I'll be trying some new things and hopefully we'll find a format that works!

Otherwise we'll have to start over and go back to formula. BACK TO FORUMLA!!

NOTE: The Submerged tutorial will be online this week. Stay Tuned.
