PS: I want to thank my younger brother Matt for helping me prepare for my first keynote speech!

I'm excited to tell you that I had a blast at this years After Effects World conference and met a lot of great people.

I was also given an opportunity to do a keynote presentation which is much different than sitting behind a computer and demonstrating software. I talked about what motivates me, personal challenges and what I think are the keys to becoming a better artist.

The good news is, this time we filmed it. Now that the footage has been downloaded safely, I'm happy to announce we'llbe posting it online this week, for all to watch.

I hope you will check it out!

It has been a little over 2 years since the releaseofElement 3D V1 and I still remember it quite vividly. I recall staying upall night before the launch, trying to get everything done.

I was nervous and excited. My son Josh had just been born aweek earlier andI was working from home at the time. The pressure was on!

Finally everything was in place and we hit the GObutton. The page went live! I exhaled with a strangeform of guarded relief. There was no turning back.

The next thing I remember in my semi-conscious state was the absolutely incredible response from the community. The heartfelt comments and appreciation. Even to this day, whensomebody gets a chance to use Element 3D in their project,I'm truly excited and thankful.

At Video Copilot we know the bar is raised high and we accepted the challenge.

Today, I'm pleased to announce the next major release ofElement 3D V2! This November, we're thrilled to bring our latest plug-in to the world!
