LIGHTING: Advanced Cucoloris Use Illustrated by a Solar EclipseQ: What happens when you stack several pattern-making devices in front of a light? A: Extreme lighting goodness. Learn why here… I love stacking cucolorii (plural of “cucoloris”) and I thought it was time to write an article about how this technique works and why I like it so much. I was a bit stretched for ideas that would illustrate this concept… and then an eclipse happened. Why that made a difference is a very interesting story… more »After Effects Apprentice Free Video: Rendering a 4:3 Center Cut Movie from a 16:9 Composition...plus an update on what’s next for the Apprentice series.
As we mentioned what now seems like ages ago, we spent a year and a half creating an extensive, multi-course video training series based on our popular beginner’s book After Effects Apprentice. The introduction plus one or more additional videos from each course are available for free preview; we re-posted here on PVC the videos that contain tips and instruction you might find useful. Well, the series is done, and we’re off writing the next edition of the book. But before we go, we had one last video to share with you, which may be of interest to any After Effects user who still has to create both 16:9 and 4:3 versions of their compositions. more »CAMERAS: Food Fights with the FS700You want 240fps 1920x1080? I’ve got your high-speed HD right here… for less than $10K.
When Adam Wilt and I shot “Fire and Ice” together on a prototype FS700 we had no idea that it would be shown at NAB… and that it would be hit.

Edible baseball never looked so good. more »After Effects Apprentice Free Video: Using Parenting to Animate Layers as a UnitTaking advantage of parenting, multiple 3D views, and AE’s built-in calculator to coordinate a multi-layer animation. As we mentioned awhile back, we’ve been busy the past year and a half creating an extensive, multi-course video training series based on our popular beginner’s book After Effects Apprentice. Buried in the shuffle of the release of After Effects CS6 is that we concluded this series with a 3+ hour course dedicated to that book’s Final Project. Several movies from this course are available for free preview from lynda.com; we’d like to share those with you here - including this movie that demonstrates using parenting to group together a set of 3D layers. more »Advertisement After Effects Apprentice Free Video: Working with Nested 3D CompositionsHow you can be two places at once inside After Effects As we mentioned awhile back, we’ve been busy the past year and a half creating an extensive, multi-course video training series based on our popular beginner’s book After Effects Apprentice.

Here’s one that I find invaluable. I remember very little math from my high school days, but what I do remember are the tricks that I was able to apply to my daily life. One formula, determining ratios, has served me better than any other. Here’s how I’m using this formula to create custom frame lines for an upcoming web banner shoot. more »After Effects Apprentice Free Video: Copying Paths from Illustrator to After EffectsRevealing Illustrator paths requires a few intermediate steps, involving After Effects masks and effects.
