luved the beam effect!
but why didnt you use preComps..?
( )Ben McEwan September 24th
I did in the original (the preview file), and it’s just annoying having to pickwhip/write expressions between comps. I thought I should do it all in one just for simplicities sake. It’ll be easier to understand for some.

where is billy the worlds most infamous AETUTS critic
( )Ben Morgan September 23rd
lol, i been wondering the same thing. It’d be great if he was drafted in by the greyscale gorilla as there’s currently a series of “Hardcore Motion Reel Critiques” being released. Billy should get involved as thats his particular special niche in the AFX world….
obviously, this is to be taken light hearted Billy. No beef

and by the way where are the sound F/x’s?
( )Ben McEwan September 25th
The sound effects are up to you to create with your mouth
( )cabs September 25th
Can you elaborate a bit more on why you had to link the end of the beam to sliders instead of linking them directly to the position of the null? I mean I saw how they got moved to upper corner, but why that happened?
Best,
( )Ben McEwan September 25th
If you link them directly to the null, it didn’t seem to stick to the middle of the crosshair. When I was making the preview video, that’s how I did it, but things when wild when I made the tutorial
