I'll be presenting again at DMALA in Los Angeles on Monday, October 28. Starts 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM (PDT). I know there will be food and prizes like some great Video Copilot products! I'm looking forward to it and I hope guys and gals can come out!

I also made this Sonic Boom video using our new product JetStrike based on some live action footage of super-sonic jets! There may be some debate about authenticity of my composite but I call this artistic expression, after all this is Visual Effects! Real, Hyper Real & sometimes just lazy!

In this in-depth tutorial, we'll create a dynamic spin animation inside of After Effects without any 3rd Party plug-ins. Whether you are a beginner or advanced user, this tutorial is packed full of helpful information and major tips, you must see!

Tutorial Topics:

• Creating Spectral animations using audio waveforms
• Use Force Motion blur to create unique noise patterns
• Build Circular elements with various properties and animation
• Create a perfect lighting array with Polar Coordinates
• Pre-Render Design Elements for faster compositing
• Layer Distribution & Alignment tips
• Unique use of distortion and radial FX

Getting back to After Effects experimentation, I've been developing more ideas related to the Spinning FX from earlier. In this case I'm using Audio and masks to create circular design patterns.

Big tutorial coming out tomorrow with all the exciting details!

I just love Geometry!
