[Soundfx4]

[broodcity]

hhehe XD cool!! 

[CeEthan]

wow thats awesome

[Lampshrine95]

oh so you have the incinerate plasmid, i see

[55vadamee]

Did a nice job with the motion tracking/rotoscoping. Well done!

[panzarw]

tell me please, in after effects i want to make a clone of my self but im playing the guitar, as i heard in this video you blown out the light, does after effects enables sound recording also and layering ?

[BlajBogdan94]

its nice did u use a mask on another video with a cigarette lighter?

[richardstill002]

Yeah, it also shows it in the description. :p

Thanks for the comment!

[bfmvb13]

hi, where could I get a tutorial for this. Actually, I was wondering if it would possible to do as if you are lighting a cigarette?

[richardstill002]

lol, check my channel, the main video is a short film called Peep Wars. About 30 seconds into the movie our actor lights a cigarette with a light saber. :D PM me and I'll tell you how to do this for your video.

[herofiscus]

i try to install it then it says i need a serial to show im upgrading you got that?

[richardstill002]

Did you buy your software from Adobe? I would assume that they sent you a serial. :S

[LamenessFTW]

cool but next time do something that would make the wall behind your hand glow orange... like a light behind your hand or something

[richardstill002]

That's a cool thought. Maybe turn the lights down and make it look like the light is glowing on top of my hand in the dark. That would be pretty easy to make the light flicker on my hand. :D

[moviecrewz]

Can you make somekind of tutorial or something? This is nice to learn :)

(btw, My After Effects doesn't run on vista anymore. I don't know what to do, it crashes when I import .mov files. Do you have any idea?)

Thank you

[richardstill002]

Check the description for the basics. :)

I'll PM you a more indepth tutorial. I can't post the tutorial on here because it is to long and YouTube won't let me post it.

I do not use windows Vista, but you should try using the free video converter. Just go to Google and type in: free video converter tucows, and click the first link.

[moviecrewz]

I've got the PM. Thank you ;)

[richardstill002]

No problem. :)

[richardstill002]

Being an effects artist/magician, I have seen thumbtips that actually have built-in lighters. However, this was done in a special effects program. :)

[kyleRitzilian]

kisfan418, he's not holding a lighter behind his thumb lol ...

[hairy0pothead]

Hahahaha this is awesome :D that looked really pro man, and the tutorial helped a lot. You're a pretty clever guy. I'm new to After Effects, I must sat it is an awesome application. I'm going to subscribe as I see you have more videos, I hope you make even more :D

[richardstill002]

Thanks a ton! And thanks for subscribing too!

[kiwidud3]

awesome, you know where i can find some easy tutorials that arnt boring?

[richardstill002]

The tutorial for this is in the description. There are tons of awesome tutorials if you google Videocopilot. Also google "creative cow tutorials"

[GameNinja13]

Pretty good man, much better than what i can do...

[richardstill002]

Thanks, if you have After Effects, it just takes a lot of time to get used to it. :D

Took me over a year with various programs to get to where I am today.

[Frogmjf]

haha creative! mask in some light on your hands with a separate solid and it will look truly believable. Awesome job.

[richardstill002]

Thanks and great idea! In fact, Andrew Kramer (Videocopilot) has a tutorial on simulating light. I will consider making a new and improved version now that I have a better camcorder!

[Frogmjf]

Sweet I am actually looking for a Camcorder that is HD but not pricey. I found one on NewEgg for about 100-200$ which isn't that bad for HD. I think i will order it soon.

[richardstill002]

Cool, you might want to take a look at Camera Addict, they have some good prices as well.

[Frogmjf]

nice thanks!

[richardstill002]

No problem. :)

[dragginsylva]

Im semi new to after effects,how do i add the fire to the video i already have,also does the fire stock footage need to be an avi file or can i use a gif?

[richardstill002]

I am not sure what format, as long as the background is black.

Check the description, I added a picture to help.

[noopa]

[richardstill002]
