That old VC website layout is giving me so much nostalgia

[deemon]

why videocopilot is the best teacher?, , while advertising it's product in a tutorial, still provides us with free stuff for those who can't afford....

[SDGIEST]

I really like the way you teach, feels more like I'm having fun with an old buddy rather than learning curriculum. Thanks a lot for sharing your expertise seems like you've been at it for decades.

I just want to say you have completely inspired me to go back to school at 26 for Media Arts Animation and Special Effects. The things you do in all of your tutorials are amazing and I can't wait to learn more!

[PathinAZ]

Awesome.I admire the way that it's not just a how-to tutorial, but is geared towards getting everyone to see the immense possibilities that can stem from a few simple effects.

[BOOOYAAAAAAA]

Dude... Thoose tutorials are never too long when you explain what your doing, I actually can understand what your doing even if I'm not really used to After Effects, and I speak french... So do more of theese! they are awesome tutorials!

[Draculus]

Probably the best tutorial I've ever seen. Very informative and entertaining!

[EspireMike]

Andrew, you and the Copilots are today's ILM (of the 70s and 80s) - inspiring a whole new generation. This is one of your best tuts yet,  

[Hyperfyre]

Ok... I knew about VC... but now I'm hooked and absolutely in awe.

[Madosheet]

Brilliant! Learnt so many little tricks in this tutorial! 40minutes is definitely not too long when it's this informative; not that your other tuts aren't informative, but I'm sure no-one else minds the longer tuts!

He sounded so dissapointed when he inverted the bulge "It... Sucks the fun out of the shot. *CUT*" xD love your tutorials dude, so professional and helpful!

[NickJGnagi]

I am literally about to shoot a sci-fi short in a month. This could not of come out a better time! I really appreciate the video!

[neonunderground]

Andrew is amazing. Iv been sitting here for hours watching his tutorials and being blown away. I think I wanna get into Effects work, although im old as fuck already

[LaidbackMarco]

Andrew I've been following your stuff for years since high school love the great content man keep it up! Maybe I'll be able to use these tools in my job one day!

[Shykun]

one of the most epic tutorials of all time

[Charlie_Alpha_Lima]

Oh YAY! New VC_Pilot tutorial time! I haven't even watched it yet but I know it is going to be amazing! Videocopilot never disappoints!

[rjohny]

Epic tutorial Andrew! thank you for sharing how you did it. I tried to do the distortion using your shockwave element, but i like the ripple & pulse effects to distort the footage, i'm going to try that too.

Hello my name is Rafael and I'm from Brazil love their videos but do not know a lot of English and I feel very difficult if you colocase legend you would realize my dream without doubt best channel ever met

[FourArtZz]

Where did you got the Ripple Effect at 22:03 ?

[RockerdownQuickHits]

This was excessively educational THANKS!!!

Recommendation would be to quickly describe why the order of plugins is important each time you do it... I watched some of VC videos several years ago, but the level was so advanced for me at the time that I couldn't grasp what was going on yet. Now I follow it well enough, but...
