Came back here from olddd dqys … I miss you Andrew , we all do man, your tutorials were a light in my learning back then, but now I’m on unreal engine and can tell you, you were years ahead with that element3D, I hope you are happy now and living good life
I find it frustrating that guys like Andrew Kramer who have raw skill and talent just don't get the appreciation they deserve. The guy makes everything seem so effortless.
What's that got to do with the price of eggs? I'm not talking about his involvement in projects, because we've all seen his work especially in Star Trek etc. I'm talking purely his amount of subscribers to his channel. Look at Andrews talent level and compare that to the nonsense of pewdiepie and his fan base. It just seems like such an injustice that he hasn't got like ten times the amount of subs he currently has.
***** Of course. I'm simply stating that Andrew has a LOT of talent. Pewdiepie earns millions and has a huge fanbase from basically dumb shit. That's life.
+The Aesalon I agree. The fact that Pewdiepie is the most popular youtuber speaks volumes about the sad state of the world. A creative genius like Andrew deserves all that and more.
Actually I just wanted to check the first minutes of this tutorial to see what kind of technique you are going to use for it, but in the end it was just way too fascinating and I watched it all the way to the end :D I think most of the things I already knew how to theoretically do it, but I just never tried to execute them this way. So overall it was really helpful for me, not really regarding to create a city destruction but rather to further understand the techniques given in After Effects. For example the Alt + Drag files onto your 3D layer to set the picture in the exact same place was new for me and I'm definitely gonna use it, as well as the 3D precomp transform fit switcher. You really do the best tutorials I've ever seen. Each of them is really creative and helpful and covers a lot of stuff which is really really cool when you can combine things together into one project. Keep up doing your great stuff, I love it!
I don't know if you're reading our comments, it's a video from 2015 but Andrew, you're a HERO, a lot of people can't notice it, but bro, what you're making, what you're sharing with us, your tutorials are like oxygen for the graphism's world, you're sharing your knoweldge and your skills freely, and that means a lot for us, and especially for me, i love this graphism world, but i'm in the bad side of the earth, Africa.. and here, if you're not a self-educated, you're done and you can't live from your passion, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH, and i hope you'll never stop making this beautiful tutorial, you're my mentor ! if i had money, i'd pay to get courses from you.
Im Litreally watching it in 2022, and nothing is change in the channel!! This channel've been the best VFX 'n' GFX Tutorials channel I've ever found on the Social Media!!
Oh how I've missed the big and awesome VFX tutorials from Video Copilot! Seems like everything is mostly motion graphics or Element 3D that has been tutorials recently. We know you're super busy now that you're super successful, but we sure missed these kind of tutorials! Great stuff!
I don't know how to start this comment, but i just wanna explain how awesome you guys are! Like I'm always afraid of the length of your videos, but it's more because you explain it so good and show so many details on how to create things or how to use some kind of tools. It's really really really worth that time
This tutorial is very important to us filmmakers in a huge way. This will help me a lot when creating short films. Awesome, Andrew. Thank you very much!
Wow Andrew, you are a real genius. I don't know how you come up with all these ideas, I already find it difficult to do the exact same thing as shown in the tutorial. I can imagine coming up with this stuff is pretty hard!
I totally thought this was only possible using things like 3ds max and c4d, its actually a basic effect when broken down like this but when you watch it in the trailer/finished product i was like no chance hes doing this all in AE! Great work Andrew!!
Thank you so much for making these wonderful tutorials. Not only have your tutorials become more sophisticated over the years, but your detailed instruction has become more sophisticated, without sacrificing the work flow. I'm learning at a fast rate without becoming overwhelmed by complexity, as a complete beginner to Ae, I can easily follow along.
Men i folow you from many many years, and i just want to said that i love you (like a post producer can loved a incredible proffetional like you). You help me a lot on my working life, and make me lough a lot with your comments... Keep going forward!!!
Andrew you are the best teacher, I would love to have you for a teacher... I've learned so much more, I'm artist and I always wanted to learn this because I want to create action, sci-fi , and heroes... I'm a big fan of yours and would love to work with you on some projects... I am still trying to get on my feet right now but I have some ideas. . Thanks for the tutorial, you rock man!
Honestly VideoCopilot is like the best ever VFX company or market whatever you want to call it. Them and ProductionCrate are my absolute favorite, you can get anything that you need or want
My fav series starts with this great, amazing & outstanding intro... *Hey, what's up it's Andrew Kramer from video Co-pilot-DOTNET and we're back with another exiting tutorial.*
Whoa!!! Planned on watching a minute or two....ended up watching the whole thing. Nice tutorial. I don't even have After Effects. Using Hitfilm Ultimate 2. Anyway, you're a genius. Khan Academy of vfx tutorials.
Tell me if I wrong, but the matte for the front building might be done with just one single solid. You simply takes three points on the roof, creates a solid, then move its anchor point to the side and then rotate 90 degrees like its back wall. Camera movement is allow us to do that. Sorry for my english. Best wishes from Russia :)
i actually got from this video that after effects works best and really fast with images and videos and you showed that its actually possible to create deep end vfx scenes inside of after effects awsome man!
A small idea about what you'v done in 27:30 : I think it would be easier to make the solids big and then put a musk around them that will feat the building's size
Video Copilot Cool beans as usual Andrew! Love the detail added by the extra depth and parallax in that foreground building's wound hole. Off topic: In E3D, is there a version of the 747 without the aerial refueling hump on the nose? Can it be turned off as a layer so it looks civilian? Thanks!
Is anyone able to help? For some reason my track matte doesn't seem to have any effect so creating the 3D hole is impossible. Alpha matte works in 2D space but not in this instance... EDIT: Make sure you're not previewing in Fast Draft! It doesn't apply track mattes.
this is amazing. I mean it is the best tutorials i have come across, really, and also i like how you add the little mario's coin tossing sound when you say "we're learning stuff" lmao xD
hey guys, amazing video! one question: ist the video footage free to use for non commercial or is it copyrighted stuff? (only the video footage, without fx or anything) i search a video footage like this for my project a school.
I am getting a message when I go over the trackers points saying "no depth from tripod pan solve" and i cannot seem to get any perspective to my film. I am using my own film but with your files i downloaded from the description. how would i fix this for future projects also?
Hy Andrew. I needed exactly that tutorial, but instead of that blue laser beam, I need a red one.(Red is more evil) Could you do another tutorial to show us how that would work ;)
(2024) Does anyone know why Andrew disappeared from RU-vid and doesn't record tutorials like he used to? What happened to him? These lessons helped me so much, and I feel extremely sad about this.
The Online Etymology Dictionary is a go to for learning about word history. Construct, destruct and obstruct all share the root derived from Latin as a suffix … Yeah … probably gonna have to do a tutorial on creating a mind blown effect now. Preferably with a blue thing.
Andrew you fucking legend! no one will ever teach these valuable stuffs for free :) I've learnt priceless stuffs from you.You sir are an inspiration! Long live Lord Kramer! May the force be with you. :)
Andrew, what version of AE do you use? As I use CS6 and I don't want to upgrade ( I don't like change I guess) I don't have the option to set my 3 track points as a ground plane.
Okay I'm having some issues. I followed the instructions you gave but some things are happening that shouldn't be. The layer labelled "Mask" has a black outline that is visible and appears to be on top of the damage layer. The TrkMat is also not showing. What am I'm doing wrong.
NEED URGENT HELP!!! At the pre-compose part, I check my tracking and it's gone. (I hadn't done anything to the layer at all). So i crated a new tracking and that went fine, but when I put a solid and camera on it, the hole in the building got completely disoriented. Why is this?
What is a good resource for more damage textures? I can only find exposed brick/concrete or damaged asphalt and I'm looking more for blown out buildings, like the one provided in this tutorial.
