[JeanilLopez]

@TheGangster7091

Why are you being such a dick to him?

[bouchandre]

@JeanilLopez Trolling syndrome...

[bouchandre]

@JeanilLopez Trolling syndrome.. But anyways I'd just love to hear him troll with his british accent, it would be believable. lol

[DAVIES9215]

@TheGangster7091 Cunt

[bouchandre]

@TheGangster7091 Well, I you knew me better you would knoe that I have a stomach problem so I can't eat as much as others.

[killkaj]

what is the name of the music :) ?

[OfficialSquadBoyz]

The masking looks really complicated in things like this , can someone find me a link to download "After Effects" ive tried many and so far none have worked or maybe an installation tutorial?

[OpticalFilmsHD]

@OfficialSquadBoyz just download a trial from adobe.com, but this is 64bit and if you have a 32bit computer, you will need to get CS4. and it´s real hard to download because adobe removes old versions from trial download list. :(

[paul42scott]

Dude you are very, very impressive i have to admit, i would love a tutorial

[israelgebre]

how did you do the fire burning effect? it was Impressive

[xtreamproduction24]

he makes it look sooo easy

[rockrick1988]

[bouchandre]

@rockrick1988 Rotobrush, and I created some luma mattes

[OfficialDebstup]

[power1395]

[monoseb]

[sergiotuk]

Hello, the video is very good.Can you make a tutorial and explain how you made the video?

I don´t know what effects you use.

[The1andOnly1ToB]

Interested in dabbling in Photoshop....C5. Have you learned any from any books...if so what do you recomment?

[bouchandre]

@The1andOnly1ToB no books, for after effects: only internet and also by myself, for photoshop: all learned by myself.

[ItsTheSebbe]

@bouchandre did you do alot with the "curves" effect?? well i think you're awesome and good luck in film school :) *subscribing*

[Joeissoonotcool]

hey Im an aspiring little movie maker myself, how long did it take you to do all this, it looks amazing!!

[barney2130]

Wow, that looks really good. Thumbs up man!

[pauls240]

burning effect is better than in some movies........

[rustytoe178]

Hey how do you mask out the original background? Do you have to change the position of the mask in each frame?

[FunEditing]

What programs do you use? I am guessing after effects and cinema 4d but like how do you get the fire to look like it burning something. Make a tutorial on how to get realistic fire to burn something =D

[bouchandre]

@FunEditing cinema 4d? Nothing here is 3d. All the fire elements are stock footage

[FunEditing]

@bouchandre ohhh lolz. I thought you'd use cinema 4d for the burning effects as the bush burns like the stuff comes off. I thought you would of animated it. But please make a tutorial!

[FunEditing]

@bouchandre btw where did you get your stock footage?

[bouchandre]

@FunEditing videocopilot(dot)net

[FunEditing]

@bouchandre Oh yeah i've herd of them. But still please make a tutorial and i will box you (I already subbed) and i will advert you in my videos.

[Gameadicted]

do you have to mask out(rotobrush) each frame? or is their an easir way?

[thespoho32]

Was this made using only after effects? Or did you use any other software

[Drewza3462]

What is the effect you did at 3:07? The effect to make the fire more realistic?

[bouchandre]

@Drewza3462 you mean the orange glow? Well I don't really remember, I think that I pre-composed all the fire elements so it would be only 1 layer. Then I duplicated this layer and blurred the bottom one a lot. The blurred layer was put on add or screen mode (you can tweak the transparency) and the top one had no transfer mode because the collapse transformation switch was one.

[Drewza3462]

@bouchandre sweet thanks!

[hector5garay]

can you do this on AE CS4?

[AlecMartinezTv]

This is awesome my favorite part is the fire part

[MarioGraceZ22]

Freaking awesome dude

[ShahSahabProductions]

hey this is an amazing job, just love it, but i need to ask one important question buddy, did you purchase these prodects off from videocopilot or is there any other cheap way to get this done , please help me out!

[videogamerforcod5]

You should have tutorials on this :-]

[joshster456]

did you use action essentials 2 ?

[joshster456]

@iVideoStream i think action essentials 2 bro,

[Patrick1111111119]

How do you made the fire effects?

[ZALHERA666]

Subbed. Love your vids. Do you make tutorials? You probably do. If so, I should start watching them and try my best to catch up with your skills. I really need to learn vfx. Me and my buddies are planning on making a big (or probably normal sized) project during summer. Learning tricks like these would come in handy. Keep it up.

[jrmmovies]

Good job! I think that shooting with a black hoodie in front of a white closet might've made it easier to rotoscope... I'm missing logic with my FX lolz

[S1CKERthantheS1CKEST]

Rotobrush?

[Jayronimo123]

did u use adobe after effects cs4?

[bouchandre]

@Jayronimo123 cs5

[guitarmaster97]

@bouchandre could you make a tutorial?

[IanLeoTV]

Dude, this is FREAKING AWESOME MAN!!! Can you position a person after you've rotoscoped he or she out using Rotobrush? Thanks!

[matthews2k4]

What you did was amazing and for that I bow to you....keep creating shit like this.

Do you plan on doing many more tutorials? If I lived near you, I would pay you to teach me everything you know!

[deepestdrop]

how much time you taken to make this? and how long you using AE?

[iamaparth]

@bouchandre Whats the thing when you make it go black and white, where you select your body?

[bouchandre]

@iamaparth You mean how do I remove tha blank background behind me? I did it in two ways. I first was by using the rotobruch tool in after effects cs5. The second way was by applying a high contrast on the clip (in the shots when I was in front of a white wall) and rotoscoping the white logo on my jacket so I was black and the rest was white. Then I applied the invert filter so I was white and the rest was black.

[cheapbiscuit]

That fire looks amazing. All of this is really good.

[JabobboJet]

Hey, can you make a tutorial on how you do the fire?

[Deivid750]

OMG, very good! Nice to know how to do something like this :)

[jan8runescpae]

[dzveronja]

[pgibsvideos]

[Tolin93]

@pgibsvideos It's not a tutorial, it's a breakdown - Shows you the steps and work behind the finished product. Not intended to teach you anything, just to let you in on the process.

[pgibsvideos]

[pgibsvideos]

[kwalsh303]

This is amazing! Could you give more details on the color correction and how to make the foreground and background blend? Thanks for the vfx breakdown. Please do some more like this.

[MikeeFilms]
