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.

In this jam-packed tutorial we will build an energy ball that emits natural light onto the road's surface. Plus, we will be utilizing 'reverse-tracking' to lock the 3D effects in-place, while maintaining the original camera movement in the exciting final shot.

Oh Yeah:
Today and tomorrow are the last two days to receive free shipping on the 2K version of our new stock footage collection, Action Essentials 2. Of course the 720p version is still available at the great low-price of $99.95 so be sure to show your support by using it to blow something up :)

PS: We have all new discs and every package goes out within 24 hours!
