In This tutorial, we finish the Olympics Ice Cube tutorial in After Effects where we use fractal noise, blurs, glows, photos, text, and curves to complete the animation, compositing and color correction.

sweet. great work.
Great stuff Nick.
Will watch this later and do the project all in one go hopefully.
Many more bananas to you.
Wow, just looks like the original one
Gonna try it soon!
i really like the “looks like the original” style over here lateley! Great job Nick!
That was a pretty simple breakdown of the Olympic bumpers… which is great! But I guess what I’m wondering is how would a designer make something for broadcast that is both cool, visually legible (not too dark, all the intricate details can been seen, nothing too subtle), and also “generic” enough to make one for each sport bumper?
they should just rename “gotham” to “gorilla”
In my opinion, I think 3D letters would look better along with the fancy 3D ice cube flippin around. It kind of drops into the 2D background and makes the ice cube separated from the rest.
Just saying
GREAT TUT.
that was really sick thanks for that
Great tutorial Nick!
It inspires me a lot.
I also realize, I need a faster computer
Nice. Looks very much like it. Just a quick question, do you think the designer(s) worked on it at 32bit? I noticed the original the glows are white with blue halo. Is it easy to fake using 8bit with just doubling the glow and changing colors and resizing the glow? Or maybe plugin? Just wondering.
Great tutorial. It came in handy..

isnt it illegal to pull images from google without permission?

Sure is. That’s why I made a point in the tut about when to do it and when not to.
Where can I order some Greyscale Gorilla is God t-shirts?
Excellent tutorial man! Great work and thanks for sharing
I wish you was baller, just a little bit smaller, i wish i could have you in a drawer …
i want to drink a beer (or more) with you!
cheers, dream brother!
Great tut, Nick. Speaking of seeing something and trying to replicate it. Any ideas how to approach this effect?

I assume a mix of particular and form?

Too big bubbles inside, not so good. But very very useful tutor. Thank you very much.
Gidday Nick,
Thanks very much for taking the time to create your awesome tutorials. I really enjoy your relaxed, ‘off the cuff’ style and think I have watched every one of your tuts a number of times now .. even with the rubbish broadband we have in NZ.
Keep em coming man and good luck with your new Cross Processing iPhone App too.
Cheers

Ashen,
You have some great stuff buddy, Love the IceCube, my next lesson is the IceCube, thanx to The Gorilla ;o)
Awesome Tutorial !!wuju
Te only problem I had is that if you put a 3D logo inside I can’t see it very well because is really dark because I can’t do the trick with the Luminance.
Thanks Nick!

I really like this Tutorial
Just say Gasssian Blur. Love the spelling in there
And I love to see some Motion Graphic Tutorials, just my idea:

Thanks!
Thanks for all the awesome tutorials!
Here’s my stab at this one: http://vimeo.com/9870891
Nick, thanks for being informal and experimental in your tutorials. Love to see your mental process, not just the steps you take along the way.
Why didn’t you make the flares a Color Dodge blend mode? That’s what they did originally (it looks like). Also I would have added a gradient to the sky to give it more depth.

guys, stop complaining, you have to take in to consideration, that the last tuts are being made on a lousy 2/3 yr old macbook (somewhere nice on Colorado mountains)
Nick is kicking ass regardless
thanks Nick, definitely some of the best tutorials out there.

nice tutorial nick, any chance you could do a little mini tutorial on continuous rasterisation? I kind of get it but sometimes when you’r using 3d layers, cameras and multiple comps. Things start to get a bit confusing.
Definitely you’re gorilla thanks man from Nicaragua
Here is my video based on this tutorial:
