In day 3 of the training Markus demonstrates how to construct an interconnected After Effects scene from many different animations. You'll then learn how to track a moving camera to the scene.
This is the final video in the "Be Water" tutorial series, and should leave you with all the techniques needed to create a similar style of typographic and animated video.
Requirements: Adobe After Effects.
Instructions: Click the bottom-right button to view tutorial full-screen. Click screen to pause, click again to play.

Very nice tut for AE………but I just got one question that’s bugging, What version of AE are you using??????
After seeing the many tuts, it inspires me to kick myself in the you-know-what and get moving to learn AE.
( )mini W January 18th

( )u didnt mention in the tut!

Markus Gustafsson January 18th

Cheers! Markus

Awesome…. TQ for tutorial…
( )Branden January 19th
I really like these tutorials. The only gripe I have about this particular video is the end with “Be water my friend.” I think the water should wave a bit longer as it’s very short and can be easy to miss. Other then that though I love it.
Job well done Markus

nice tuts but the video system is not really good…. I mean we can’t ALT+TAB from the video and AE without exit the fullscreen mode…
not confortable to use… Why not add a buton “WTACH THE TUT” and then open a window with large view ?

( )Philip Rawson June 25th
I recommend downloading the .flv tutorial video and watching it within your main media player (I use Window Media Player Classic). This way you can treat the video as you would any other, so Alt-Tab-ing to and from AE or another desktop screen is seamless.

Very Good Tutorial
( )JohnM. January 24th
Nice Tutorial! Why is it that when I render my Comp my radial ramp comes out choppy?
( )Can anyone give me any advice on how to properly do it?
T.Baurain January 25th
Not to sound like a broken record but the graphic files associated with this tutorial would be great!

Hey I loved this tutorial! It was very complete and showed a lot of great tricks!
I tried a little typographic design of my own! To watch it:

Great work!
Aetuts should open a flickr group now that flickr allows all users to post video so that we can comment on others people attempts to these aetuts!
This site is wonderfull!!

Sweet tut…..but the audio could have been more clear and crisp.
But hey….keep the type tuts come’n
( )Irving April 15th

looking forward to more tuts

Thank you Markus! I have been looking for a tutorial just like this one for a while. I am an AE beginner and I found it fairly simple to follow. Even though some of the files are not provided, thats ok b/c the main ones are and I created the other ones myself. To make it more my own, I made some changes to my project by extending or shortening the different variables (instead of following all of the tutorial settings). This design project may not be the “next new thing” but, its new to me and I enjoyed learning some skills from it.
P.S. The Tuts+ network is AWESOME & PPL that are choosing to gripe on the tutorials should either make a better one (since their skills are so great) or SHUT IT
!
