nice ADOBE AFTER EFFECT ?

[RedShockFilms]

WOWWWW EPIC

[exes9378]

Very good. Have you do a tuto?

[BarteqTV]

Here you see how they make high budget films ;P

[TheRealRoboRick]

What element (file Name) of the action essentials pack did you use for the smoke in the Blood hits, i cant find one in the pack that looks anything like it. Please help! Thanks.

[mikeysa]

@TheRealRoboRick I actually used a powder hit for the blood, I very rarely (if ever) use the blood package, tried stuff with it before - it can easily come out looking awful, so I always just use particle and powder hits

[MrFreak98]

ok this is cool ^^

[MarkSteinMT]

Why don't you make tutorials? haha

[mikeysa]

@MarkSteinMT everything I do is covered by loads of different people in loads of other tutorials, I might actually post tutorials in future, I've been thinking about it because there has been high demand.. When I start working with 3D it's likely I'll post tutorials then since that's when you can get really creative with visual FX and AE

[niquelapeaulisse]

great job !!! the tracking on the 206 is perfect.

[JProductionsSV]

Amazing :)!

[PivotProDD]

You've got the proper color correction, vfx, DoF, but you really gotta get with the resolution.

[mikeysa]

@PivotProDD Yeah I really wish I could have VFX in HD, my After Effects and computer just can't handle HDV video, it either crashes or jumps through the video and completely ruins my FX.

I really need to upgrade my system but I also need to buy a new HD camera.. It's a LONG way away but I reckon, realistically it will be September 2011 before I can get the money together to actually work in HD

[UUSAAE123]

Very Well Done..

[MottionStudio]

I like the music, the effects are very good, congratulations

[mikeysa]

@MottionStudio thanks :D

[mdog917]

do you need another program (such as adobe premier elements 9) to use action essentials?

[TheMattMiller]

Well done! And I like the Hans Zimmer. Good touch! MIii?

[VCRAGE]

dude this is awesome :D amazing stuff u can do with VFX :)

[Gruwelijkproductions]

what kind of motion tracking program did you used?

for good tracks?

Uriel

[mikeysa]

@Gruwelijkproductions For this I just used AEs tracker but for difficult tracks I'd use Boujou

[mymymama132]

hi, did you used an Action Movie Essentials 2's Footage For The Blood? (Red Smoke)

If Its True, What Is The Name Of The Footage?

[mikeysa]

@mymymama132 If I can remember correctly it's one of the wall hits or charges.. then I just turn it red and track it in to the shot.. have to fade it out very quickly though or it looks really out of place

[DropzpneProductions]

what did you use for the blood hits, i use the wall hits tinted red, but what was that?

[sadapindo]

you're a great compositor!

[larbyrne]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!!

[RemingtonLMarkham]

This is one of the best uses I have seen of Action Essentials, good job!

P.S. This is the first time I've ever commented on an effects video to compliment it haha

[TheMatt7000]

Wow, Great job man!

[spells14]

really really nice man.

[walk888]

cool

[watts4563]

Please make some tutorials for using Action Essentials 2 with Sony Vegas, if you can!

[bman332211]

amazing work!

[anxs220]

n1ce work

but very aggresive color correction I think ...

[mikeysa]

@anxs220 yeah it's extremely harsh, I didn't spend time doing it at all, I really just slapped a warm filter on because it was 6am and I just wanted sleep (worst way to work but I think I can get away with it on a test.. I'll redo it in future though)
