pretty cool effect, i’ll try it right now!
thx markus, thx aetuts, keep sharing, we love it! ;)
I saw this in your short animation where’s your head at. Cool Short as well as tut. Thanks Markus
great work dude downloading it right now
Nice looking effect. I’ll sure try it sometime…
Cool! I’ve already seen this effect in various videos, but using the idea of the tag with a true head is awesome! But this hear is kinda famous! I’ve seen this head before…
Anyway, awesome tutorial. Love Basement Jaxxx’s song “Where’s your heat at”!
Where’s your head at! Sorry, typed wrong!
thanks for the hint! i was thinking about the song name, but didn’t recognized it fully. now i think, i heard that song in a fatboy slim remix!
and to markus: superb tutorial!! thanks!
Can learn a lot here.
That’s really cool. I like your style a lot. Keep em coming!
I had some trouble downloading the Head.ai. I found a quick fix by just going to the link in Internet Explorer and erasing the “%20″ that appears at the end.
Other than that, great tutorial!
Great Tutorial, Thanks a lot!
What format is: .ai
:P
Nice looking.. Thanks again.
.ai stands for Adobe Illustrator. ;)
Vector. Illustrator
Nice tutorial.
Markus, i would also like to add that you have a really nice site.
Keep up the great work!
Nice.
The download link for the Head.ai file is broken.
Needs to be fixed.
Thanks for catching that. Link has been fixed.
another great tutorial thanks’
This is great and exactly what I think we should have more of.
Nice one i like it
thx masta!
At first I thought lame but I watched it till the end cause I wanted to know why this tutorial is so long. Now I can say the animation is still not my favor but this tutorial has some potential. Very good example and explanation of how to use the wiggle expression. Overall a good tutorial even though I don’t like the outcome.
One think I please every author to consider:
Watch your audio level!
Sometimes it was simply to quiet (middle part). I couldn’t hear everything clear with my MacBook build-in speakers at full blast. I had to put on my headphones.
Perfect! Thanks for sharing.
Greetings from Brazil.
Cool but nothing really ground breaking. All we can really do is recreate what you have already done. We need more techniques to apply.
Thanks for the tutorial, I appreciated when you put in the array since learning how to more fully control animations with expressions is something I am studying/trying to improve on. I created a similar wiggle-expression driven animation that is somewhat related, http://vimeo.com/5242026 – thanks again for the work and for the tutorial!
And, whats so special with this?
I enjoyed watching this tutorial and I learned a few things as well. You have a nice presentation style. Keep up the good work.
This looks like one of Andrew Kramer’s recent tutorials using a plug-in called twitch or something like that, that he used for a dvd title menu. Still cool…
Un poco inútil este tutorial, pero en fin…
Great stuff as always by marcus. your work is inspiring & you are a great tutor.
