    Nice stuff nick.
    I’m glad i started watching your Vblog when i did. I feel its going to be a good daily dose.

    What i’m looking forward too, even more then the tutorials, is the little 5 sec projects. This as a feature on your blogs will really bring new and old motion designers posting and contributing together.

    Many thanks for giving your time,

    You sir, are God.

    I really didn’t know it was so easy, I’m pretty excited to start playing around with it.

    Quick question: what software would you recommend to model and/or animate in 3D?

    Keep the AE tutorials coming! Love em!

    Although I know the basics, I watch because you never know what you may throw in for good measure. Plus, we have to always remember the basics in order to do the complex. I would like to know how you did the final piece of your Layer Tennis volley…that was cool to the hilt! DK rules my friend.

    I am actually posting a “behind the scenes” Layer tennis cast tomorrow.

  9. thegorilla on March 10, 2009 said...

    I’m definitely planning on doing some C4D Tuts. Stay tuned.

    great video, one big frustration for me is camera easing in and out. i still dont really know how to use the ease grid. you touched on it just for a second in this video but why does the camera sometimes flip out when you ad easing to it? thanks for your help nick

    more C4D tuts! I think they’re fantastic. Also, I love the walkthroughs. Design tutorials are genius because it’s lacking in most colleges and other website tuts. Keep encourage people to build their eye for design.
