WOW!!!
stunning

Cool Tutorials

greate tuts i like it very much.
can u upload project file this tuts

Hi John. Thanks for the great tutorial. Please consider doing a tutorial on some of those great interference techniques from the longer video somethime.

cheers

Really great tut. thnx for sharing.

Great tut, thnx for sharing.

I like the effect. Will check tutorial later.

Holy F*!

Brilliant! Thanks for the tutorial

F*CKING Brilliant!

Geats Tuts!
but please don’t swallow… change the mic position.
Thank’s.

This is nice and all, but Video Copilot has the tool you need for this. Their plugin, Twitch, will do the same thing, but you can control everything so much more. Blur, light, slide, color, everything.

Cool, can you make this a multiple part tut and show us how to make the extended video

John….at 6:50 in the tutorial you say that you are going to include the song and the PNG’s for the project on the website….but I don’t see any. I made up my own, so it’s not a big deal but was wondering if you are going to put up the song?

Very cool tutorial….working my way through it right now!

Very cool! Thanks very much for sharing!

how did u make that back and forward motion in your longer video ? starting at 0:55

Just got done with it. Great effect….but I would have liked to see you put together more of the finished product. I know….being greedy. The shake effect is cool but it isn’t what makes your final product as sweet as it is.

Also…no project file. That would help.

Thanks John! I’d love to see more from you!

you should offer your videos as podcasts too. would be great.

Guys when he said the project files, he messed up, when AETUTS Launches the plus section all will be available to download.

hey nicetut.
For the wiggle you dont need to create a variable?
if you enter a simple wiggle(5,pickwiptheslidercontroller) it will do fine?No?

@tillimanjaro…..that is correct….or you can just type it out.

What I am interested in is the camera movement throughout the longer preview. What variable is he controlling? You can create camera movement through the triangle by increasing scale of the null but is there a better way?

I think probably the final touch that makes it interesting is the interference effect. For those wondering how to do it, one way is with Tinderbox plugins. They really work like a charm (I think it was called ‘bad tv’ or something)

Whoa! Very impressiv piece.

THAT WAS SICK!…..MY GODODNESS…..the final product was really really awesome…thank you so much…

WO HOO!

Stunning effect!

I wonder why you did not convert the audio to keyframes. If you first do some EQ-Settings and cut off all higher frequencies, you will get some very accurate keyframes for bass & Beats.

one of the greatest videos i have ever seen … Great one

reminds me alot of aphex twin or autechre. very reminescent of autechre videos. Love it!

oh man,i really like the Untitled piece! very nice!

WOW, amazing!

I’ve a title for this masterpiece: the “Butterfly Beat”.

=)

Thanks for sharing!!!!!

AH, there are a way to make the shapes “glow” with a formula, like you did with the shaker?

Thanks again!

cool Tuts, Thx

but i cant Set marker with RAM preview or audio-only preview
coz as i hit * key the RAM preview Stops
HELp psl

Dude like I said before AWESOME tutorial, but you see when I made that comment I hadnt seen the actual tutorial yet, I only saw the final video and assumed that in the tutorial thats exactly what we were going to see.

Just please show us how you did everything else…wed really love to see that…Im sure some other readers know how to do it and other ones such as myself can guess how you might have done it but we would still like to see the master do it…Im sure there’s a lot of tips and tricks and what nots we could get from you…

So pretty please brother…

Thanks in advance

i agree with modisana

Is that beat one of your own? I’d really love an audiotut on how to make such dynamic and revolving sounds.

great tutorial
thanks

Seriously, this was really bad! You needed 21 minutes of my life to show me a simple wiggle connected to a slider?

Jeez. This was not good at all, no offence.

This could be done much quicker with Trapcode SoundKeys (if you need to isolate individual frequencies) or just by using plain old convert audio to keyframes. You can even tweak the audio with an effect or two, and then convert it to keyframes (in order to isolate certain sounds) then drop the effects. After that a simple expression using linear() based on those keyframes will pretty much do this for you for any song, without you having to have any rhythm or take any of your time.

Overall this is a pretty good tutorial to explain the concept, however.

Cool tutorial, I thought there would be some downloads for this, as mentioned in the tutorial – thanks.

Great Tut!

John can you help me? How do you Render/Export your composition because when I render it out as H.264 my Radial Ramp has “steps.” In other words it’s not smooth. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I’m doing this right now >:D

But, no project file?

what music is this???
really amazing music

Hey John!

Great video concept and execution! Great tuts to go along with it, too!

Could you please show how you made the “double lines” that sometimes go around and behind the triangles? Did you use trapcode stroke for that?

Also, could you pleeeeeeease show how you made that bright center of the “solar system” or whatever it was? I would love to see what went into making that, and THEN also seeing how you went about making it glow and over expose. Does this make sense?

Thanks so much!

patapon lol

….YOU ARE THE MAN…(speechless)

The final product is high quality level, but the tutorial doesn´t correspond or doesn´t live up to that quality level

Also,

I love how bassy and distorted and industrial the bass sounds in that song. Do you have any suggestions of other songs or artists who use a similar sound?

Would be great if you did a longer tutorial on some of those distortion effects and camera movements as they are fantastic.

Going to give this a go this weekend and add my own bit of jazz to the equation.

hi
please someone can help me with that expression. im getting disabied

shakeyCam = effect(*Slider Control*)(*Slider*);
wiggle(15,shakeyCam)

thanks

for some reason I tried putting the expression in but it keeps giving me an error ^o).

The expression im writing is
shakeyCam = effect(*Slider Control*)(*Slider*);
wiggle(15,shakeyCam)

what am i writing wrong?

Please help!

Ps. The Error Says

After Effects warning: Expected: )
Expression disabled.

Error occurred at line 1.

The two comments above me…
Replace the asterisks with double-quotes:
* –> ”

The expression should be:
shakeyCam = effect(”Slider Control”)(”Slider”);
wiggle(15,shakeyCam)

Sorry for double posting, but there is no edit function.

As said earlier, you can simplify the expression by pickwhiping the second part for the wiggle which will get you the following:

wiggle(15,effect(”Slider Control”)(”Slider”))

thanks

what song was used in the full video

wow .. this is a great tutorial

Awsome tutorial. I am going to try that variable out soon.

Thanks man!

I’m getting an error…

After Effects warning: Syntax error
Experession disabled.

Error occurred at line 1.

Whats up with that?

anjeeng keren banget…fiuuuhhhh
thats meaning, oh my good veryveryvery impressive,interesting,inspiration, very good,great tutorial, thanks

i agree with petter, 21 minutes and the only thing in the tutorial is the camera shake… sorry but i don’t think its’ a good tutorial..

awsome
tutorial

realy nice one

Hey John, whats the song in your untitled piece called?

Project file?

I liked the tut and the concept is amazing.

Only wish he would pull through with the files.

I honestly think this tutorial is just a waste a time. I think the actual project is pretty cool but the tutorial is just too simple and it deals with only one effect and the background creation. Its just to show off his piece. John, I applause your wonderful piece but will appreciate more if you explained a little bit more and didnt waste 20 min to explain one little effect.

Where’s the audio from?

I thought this was a great tutorial! He took it nice and slow and I was actually able to understand exactly what he was clicking and why. Okay, while he could have shown us tons of other elements seen in his ‘untitled’ film, I think the purpose of this tutorial was only to show the camera shake effect really. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to see how you brough together all the other elements too, but I certainly learned quite a bit just from the wiggle technique (including how scripting is applied!) Great work! Thanks!

Where is the star key???
if i press * the music just stops, and nothing happens
plz help me!!

yes i like it this tutorials is to good

Great Tutorial. Thanks! Really well explained too John. Keep up the good work!

what the heck is the star key! when his demonstrating how to place a marker on the beat of a song he says to simply press the star key to mark a certain part of the song. what the heck is a star key! I have an iMac with AE 9….can someone clear this up for me please. it’s driving me crazy! I’ve tried press 8 key and shift + 8…but it doesn’t do anything.

pls tell me how to make looking like smoke line~ pls
thankyou~

Great Tut. Thanks a lot

As to the song you can download the (John Schlemmer’s ‘Untitled’ Piece) Video from this very page and then with premiere you can isolate the song in an MP3 form

Thanks again

Great tutorial thanks

Los tutoriales son increíbles…saludos desde Argentina!

I used the techniques you taught in this to create my own version:
