Hey, I think that this is a great tutorial, I'm a beginner in after effects, I'm school trying to learn it, I will try this one, I have one question its the image just a picture of a person or a video of the person moving. Cause if not you should show how you got the picture move, but i think i know how, when move the background.

This tutorial is awesome Andrew. The whole site is awesome but there are so many small things you learn along the way in this one, it really opened my mind up to thinking in a VFX kind of way. So many small elements make up the whole.

Anyway, everyone check out my version of Lightening Explosion.

Decided to go one step further with this concept and make it just my head exploding. I masked out my head as my body slumped onto the table to make it appear as if my lifeless and headless body was slumping over. Posted a few weeks ago, just getting around to mentioning it here. Thanks Andrew!

Excellent work once again andrew, and look forward to next tut. Im currently in school for motion graphics and video editing. I have to say, you are by far the most influencial reason for going to school. I just wanted to say thanks. Also, is there a way of performing a good and believable morphing of peoples faces in ae cs4.
Thanks again Andrew.

I think the CC Pixel Polly use in this tutorial could also be used in the meteor strike tutorials in place of using a 3D package. Obviously the end result wouldnt be quite so slick but if you're on a budget pixel polly looks pretty sweet.

Soooo Mr Kramer we finally get somewhere

Do you remember our short conversation (email) when I asked you to take the next step in your AE tutorials? I asked you (maybe a year ago or so) for show us how to handle 3D stuff, motiontracking etc... I think you were a bit upset about my question and told me first to learn the basics.
But that's ok. I don't want to be negative! I really like to see you taking the AE Community (or VCP Community) to higher levels! You do an outstanding job and for me and I am sure for all of the people out there it's the best way to dive totally into motiongrafics and videoeffects!
I want to say "thank you!" for the great tutorials and the great products! I try to support your community-philosophyie and business by buying your products whenever one of them are usefull to my projects!

Well, I hope one day it will be possible to shake hands with you to say thanks personally Maybe when I fly to USA one day

I hope YOU found this message friendly (=usefull and say good bye and see you next time

Kind regards from Germany,
Chris

Awesome.... truly awesome...

Tho i must say, im not a fan of the 2part tutorial thing, i prefer it all in one, even if it is a long video....

i sort of feel cheated out of a tutorial....

Other than that! keep up the amazing work!

more gore than ever > it would be nice to see if a tutorial where the ground brakes into a lot of pieces and goes up as if it was zero gravity , is hard. the one in your blog's beginning.

Nice Blood Explosion! i would have put some blood splatter on the garbage shed, and maybe even a chunk that is sliding down leaving a blood trace behind. Thx Kramer!
