Very very good tutoria!
Cheers!
Du redest gut Englisch für einen Deutschen
tja gäb’s ein ae.tuts.de …wäre deutsch ne gute idee
Looks really great nice slow motion effect.
I’ll definitly give it a try, without explosion.
Great, but I highly recommend purchasing Andrew’s great products, those shouldn’t be missing in your collection.
Nuts! looks really brill
Thank you very much, freed!
I know….here goes the Maestro of negativity (and the obvious)….but wouldn’t a blast that rips the doors off and sends them flying down the hallway have damaged the doors? I think they would be bent and crumpled significantly. For this effect to work you’d have to create the door in C4D or 3dsmax and then show damaged doors in slowmo. Also, as was already said by someone else, VCP’s stuff would add an element of realism to the blast and fire that is missing here.
Hi Billy,
thanks for your comment. You’re actually right which what yiu’re saying, but this tutorial is created to give people a start to create such type of animation and how to solve some issues that my occur. Of course, the doors can be built in a 3d application (which they should be for a high quality animation), but what people make out of the tutorials is left to everyone themselves.
I don’t understand tutorials in way like “Cool, I just copied an effect”, for me it is to give ideas and leave a good space for your very own creativity and ways of doing some cool stuff. I would be happy to see what you might create from this, maybe even with some 3D integration.
Cheers!
You can easily bend/crumple the door with DigiEffects Freeform AE, no need for C4D, 3DSmax or any other 3d software.
Great tutorial man. I loved it.
Luka
Yeah dude, thas cool B)

• Composite actors in front of a large explosion
• Create camera shake
• Add a nice displacement scene effect
• Use parenting, null objects, and transfer modes
Thas cool man, you’ve managed to find a tutorial you can pay for
I’ve managed to find the tutorial that is too way similar to the Mr. Kramer’s tutorial. I thought there is a rule here not to post the tutorials that are similar to the tutorials posted on the other sites. Am I wrong? Then I’m sorry…
flashback, why so unthankful?
Thanks Oliver.Thanks for your time man. )
I think these tutorials achieve a similar effect, but they are still different tutorials. This one focuses on different things.
Awesome tutorial, Oliver.
You’re right, there actually is such a rule. Fortunately, the site editor shares my opinion that the tut is all fine.
Sometimes you can’t help overlapping technical content (it’s technical stuff you referred to). Arguing your way, there wouldn’t be any new tutorials out there, since nearly all things were shown in a way before. But I would be happy to see such a mindblowing tutorial, maybe from you?!
muy bue tutorial
What an awesome birthday gift;)
i feel like ive seen this tutorial before elsewhere before, maybe on youtube.
You sir, are right. This is on youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z1RWPUJL-4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRdOBg7EzMM&feature=related
and one author states: “Testing something learnt from a tutorial”
There is also a tutorial that teaches almost the exact same techniques…I’ll try to find the link. Now to the credit of the author of this tutorial, it appears one of the youtube videos is his from about 2 years ago…so he may have just refined his techniques before posting it.
Seriously guys, you should hear yourselves talking…
very fluid animation well done !!
Awesome work.
Two things though, watch the length and really try to slam things way less, it does gets annoying when you slam the keys or the mouse around.
Amazing job anyway.
Keep it up!
I’m sorry, I tried to work in some kind of a dynamic way =P
Thanks for your comment!
bro, awesome vid.. cool! U ROCKS!
Not bad but the outcome is imo not so satisfing. I can clearly see some kind of a CUT between normal footage and explosion.
Good job anyway
Holy S*** !
nice!!
Great work Oliver… the end result looks awesome….
Thanks!
The slow motion effect and the whole explosion looks amazing…. keep up the great work!
Cheers Ben, you’re welcome!
