Oh (Con)Sole mio!
I’m rarely impressed by anything that happens in the After Effects world these days, but I have to give it to Mr. Kramer – he always seems to find a niche for his tools and then is pretty thorough in implementing the features. His latest, FX Console, is no exception. The biggest irony here is how […]
It’s Plexus – with Plexus this time!
When I was writing this post about Plexus‘ Photoshop knock-off I already knew about version 3 of the original and now, after a rather short Beta phase that I was involved in, if only peripherally at times, it is here for your pleasure. So what’s new? Now everybody has their own new favorite feature, but […]
Modo+P, Cinema+RF, Element+SW
A bit of news is making the rounds, which has people a bit jazzed up with excitement and that news is Modo 10.1 coming and as a Public Beta at that to boot. Before getting too carried away with dances of joy at the prospect of trying out the new procedural tools, you might want […]
Andrew-JJ-Star Wars
With the imminent release of Star Wars – The Force Awakens on DVD and Blu-Ray just two days away here in Germany (incidentally making it a perfect gift for my brother’s 40th birthday), it’s a neat touch that we get to see a few bits and bobs more of the creative process behind it by […]
Sabre Cut
At long last Video CoPilot‘s new Sabre plug-in is available and from fast-scrubbing through the tutorial, I’m pretty taken-in. It’s funny that it represents this amalgam of the stock Beam, Stroke and Vegas effects in After Effects, but all rolled into a single effect with much more features and superior rendering quality. Not shabby at […]
Sabre-Toothpaste?
The cat’s finally out of the bag and it seems when Terry commented on my last Andrew Kramer post, he was right. It’s a glow/ stroke/ lightning plug-in. Now I’ve never been quite into those obvious, often cheesy exaggerated effects nor is there a shortage of other such plug-ins (on the few occasions when I […]
Kramer-larious
Everybody’s darling, Andrew Kramer, is back in action and took a hilarious spin on some of the aspects of agile development: The eternal state of software being never finished because, you know, you could always use that one more feature. As you may know from reading this blog, I’m not necessarily friends with some of […]
The Force Awoke
As indicated a few days ago, indeed we did go to see Star Wars – The Force Awakens and contributed our share to the now already 1 billion box office take of that little movie. Before you read on the usual spoiler warning: If you haven’t seen the film yet and are afraid to read […]
30 Million Taos
In the motion graphics business only one thing is true: Everything comes back – sometimes with a vengeance – every few years and just like lens flares will never die out (I’m already expecting another onslaught of fan made videos heavy on this stuff after everyone has watched the JJ Abrams-ified version of Star Wars), […]
Alive and A-Dead?
I know that when he’s so terribly quiet, he’s usually terribly busy, but for a while there even I was getting worried about Mr. Kramer. After all it’s been almost three months. It’s good to see they left him out of his dungeon working on Star Wars – The Force Awakens. To be honest, though, […]
