Happy to finally launch this! It's the first episode of a new youtube interview series. Every two weeks I'll be uploading an interview with an industry artist, from studios like Riot, Blizzard, Disney and more! Recorded in LA a few months ago. Made possible thanks to a grant from the QLD Australian government :D
Blender Guru its great.I am 15 and i am in india.There's no scope for vfx in india.If you have ever seen a bollywood vfx you will know it.I want to become a vfx artist.I even don't have proper pc.It does not have graphics card.I know after effects and blender.Well i don't know much about blender.its but tricky.What should i do for vfx?
Perfect start Andrew of this interview series! I'm a big fan of Andrew Kramer! Can't wait for the others!
Tell riot to give us 100 rp every month.
Sounds like an epic series. Absolutely pumped
Superb! This peek into a perspective of a person pushing the industry forward is very intriguing. Looking forward to the next video! I also wanted to say that the new strategy you're taking, in the tutorial composition, of cutting out just the tips and techniques is very enjoyable and of course, all the work centered around the community and the creators is very impressive! Keep up the good work!
I started my career 11 years ago with After Effects and videocopilot tutorials. We used to watch some tutorials and have NO IDEA what was happening but Kramer was so entertaining we'd just watch them over and over again and dream of all the things we could build.
Now I'm the director of video production and editing at a digital media advocacy studio doing awesome stuff every day!
The man that changed the VFX industry.Thank you, you (Andrew Kramer) also changed a lot of peoples lives for the better.
Andrew Kramer - My Uber driver was discussing that he was entering a career in IT, and I showed him the motion graphics/animation/vfx work I'm doing now, and he was like... "how can I get started with all that?". I told him to visit your website first, as it taught me so much, but more importantly, inspired me to pursue this line of work, and now maybe even my Uber driver. Thank you for everything. You are a modern day hero, saving people from boring jobs :) Much love, from South Africa
The laugh "BLENDER GURU" had when Andrew krammer said "I want to do blender tutorials next" at 36:55
Soooo cynical laugh...
#love from INDIA to both of u guys.
Andrew² !
3x(Andrew²) !
age of andrews 😄 my two favorite teachers.
hey you again
This has been on my UA-cam watchlist for 13 months and I finally watched it. Definitely worth the two hours. Thanks Andrew (Price) for creating and releasing this invaluable interview, and thanks Andrew (Kramer) for your life-long dedication to quality VFX education.
Andrew Kramer is awesome, really cool dude, really hard working, and still manage to have his integrity, and not forgetting where he came from. I'm truly inspired, and carrying on thanks to people like him.
Whoa! Can't believe you just interviewed my other favorite Andrew! So happy this finally happened!
Whaaaat? This was so VERY unexpected. Guru meets Guru. Oh this is just special.
The great Andrews finally meet!
This interview is one of the best, I have seen Andrew Kramer in some talks but never pay attention good his expressions are and how accurate when he tries to describe things, I am excited to meet him next week here in London :)
It doesn't matter the exterior, only your mind, your work....... I loved it !!!!! That's the truth!
my two fave tutorial gurus in the world...in one video.... Love you brothers...thanks a million!
It's so great to see interviews like this. My interest is in modeling for 3D printed Jewelry, but to see into the minds of industry experts and how they start, this is truly a gem. Thank you both Andrews!
I have based a lot of my company on both of your journeys and companies 🍻 This has been quite informative and inspiring, thank you for making this
heyy whatup Matt, loved your interview on The Futur!
Hey Matt! Any chances on getting Cine Designer for Blender? Cinema 4D is way too expensive for just getting your product!
Perhaps, I started with Maya + Arnold, but I go to the DCC or Game Engine that best serves the film industry's needs.
1. UI/UX is a big part of that as most Cine Designer users are NOT 3D artists but film industry people. C4D UI is most visually straight forward to learn. Most DPs can get up and running the first day. It's very similar to FCPX, Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop. Blender is weird, weird enough to scare away new users.
2. The indie film industry is already very C4D centric. A surprising amount of directors/DPs already use C4D, the free version with After Effects or the demo/student.
3. DCCs and Game Engines are just places to view and work with 3D models at this point. But I want the DCC with the best off the shelf render engines, plugins, etc. Redshift may make a Blender version but it goes Maya -> C4D -> others with them. If a new GPU render engine comes out or new Xparticles etc. comes out the chances of it coming to Blender are very low. That means my users can't take advantage of it.
4. Cinema 4D + Xpresso + Python is a lovely development platform that has a great community of developers who make user facing plugins and the Instagram/Online community of users is incredible.
5. Especially after watching the video interview with the founder of Blender, I don't feel comfortable making my company based on open source software. My relationship with Maxxon/Nem is very straight forward and my company helps keep their company in business. I need to understand how Blender stays alive.
That being said EVEE looks great and Cycles looks great too. I could build a Blender version in 2 months, but I could also make an Unreal Engine 4 or Houdini version or just keep making the C4D version better.
I understand that Blender would mean a lower entry cost for users, but I am also hesitant to release into the Blender community that is not used to paying for software. I am watching the Redshift 4 Blender release very closely and I know their devs.
Cheers!
Matt
Cinematography Database Good head on ya shoulders lad
For the first time in 5 years. I have mo camera or lenses. Gonna buy your game and previz my the shit out of my stories
"UI is so important for the experience. With good UIs you don't feel like you're working, it just work as fast as you're thinking."
Andrew Kramer
I like that!!!!
I like when he says (You have to love the idea of creating something from nothing).
I have followed VideoCopilot for over 10 years and the thing I love about Andrew Kramer is his true artist spirit. He aims to creative and built his business around that instead of the other way around. I will be forever grateful for the education I have received from the progression of his career.
Video Copilot was a turning point in my career! Even though i am a game developer now, I started things there! ANDREW KRAMER unforgettable name. Thanks!
After the Corridor Crew video with Andrew i found this interview wanting more of him and I'm not disappointed. Absolutely fascinating guy.
Andrew Kramer has the clearest most efficient tutorials. He's also entertaining and funny.
Andrew Kramer's tutorials are the *best*
SDG Danny After the ones from the other Andrew :D
I don't even use Blender or After FX but I still watch both of these guy's videos for workflow ideas
Andrew Price's tuts not bad either :D
That's a bold claim for someone subscribe to Blenderguru haha
Thank You sir!
Big fan of Andrew Kramer since 2007, and Big fan of Blender Guru about 1 year :) thanks for all great things you doing Guys :)
Me too lol Ur not alone
I was like "good, I'll listen 5 minutes and maybe watch some other day" but have already been 35 minutes (and counting). Quality content, as always
This is really awesome. I learned After Effects from Andrew Kramer’s videos 6 years ago and just recently finished the Blender beginner series from Andrew Price. Thanks for all you’ve given to the community!
both andrew's are deadly artistic being. kramer is such an open book and a really honest person.
This is sooo great to see this kind of videos. Kramer is one of the top artist that influences the whole cgi industry. So it’s really good pick to interview Kramer! Thanks Andrew for creating this video. So inspiring for us!
A real jewel of an interview. Many UA-camr`s talk about how inspirational they want to be for their fan base. Andrew Kramer and Price do really hold up to that promise. Great job thanks to both of you for being that candid.
Video Copilot is best youtube channel for After Effect tutorials. Thanks, Andrew Kramer.
Plot twist: Andrew rented that office for the day, just to look professional for the interview, when in reality he still works in his basement
which andrew?
Chessguy He works for Bad Robot. If he worked in a basement it would be a million dollar basement.
LOL!
hahaha
@@NerdsPlayhouse You clearly didn't watch the entire video. Watch it, and you'll understand why this joke is funny.
I love Andrew Kramer!!!!!! He's a genius!!!!
"Whats up guys! I'm A.Kramer and welcome to another very exciting tutorial!", i'm gonna rember this untill i die..Thanks Andrew!
Andrew Kramer, man I'm a big fan of yours. Been following you since mid 2000s. Thanks for all your hard work man, you've contributed so much to my personal success as a designer. Thank you!
Very cool interview. I live near Andrew and actually ran into him while shopping in a grocery store in Murrieta (California) once. I stopped and pointed (like a fan) and said, "You're.... Andrew... Kramer!" He smiled, put the palms of his hands together and did a humorous little bow greeting. His tutorials are the best. Love this interview. Very cool hearing some of the back story of Video Copilot and his experiences. Thanks for the video.
That’s a great statement you’ve made: ‘how many wanna be vfx people actually make a short or even a sketch’ to apply (or gain) their knowledge. As a filmmaker and vfx Guy, I encounter dozens of colleagues who have never even edited a film! A lot a big budget vfx guys have no idea how cameras work (even people whom studied film don’t even know the physics behind optics!, or what that little circle with the one through it is in their camera). Then you work on an indie film and you see enormous multi talented people breaking boundaries to solve problems. As an engineer by trade that’s when I feel most at home. And probably that’s why the indie film I worked on keeps raking in awards because of the hard work everyone put into that project.
I like the recommendation to start learning by doing your own project. Totally the right approach.
One of the best tutors ever, he's funny and keeps you engrossed.
No way OMG !!!!! Two Andrew's in the same video this is overload for me , i love you both guys keep up , specailly your tutorials
shoutouts to andrew, this guy deep down actually cares about the young kids trying to learn these programs, he deeply cares about his customers and helping them improve and reach their artistic goals, thats why he's so successful, thats the key
One thing I like about this interview is how it doesn't feel scripted like the other ones, the exchange of questions and answers were so natural that I felt like I was in the room with them and not watching a UA-cam video.
Why the hell did 62 people downvote this. One of the most inspiring interviews I've seen.
It's a rare day when I can sit & watch two talking heads for more than 15 minutes. This ranks right up with Letterman's "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction", on NetFlix. Well done!
I love video copilot and blender guru my fav channels for AE and Blender
Andrew Kramer... one of my favorite people on this earth
I love this guy! I litteraly got my first job in one of the biggest company of my country and I made a lot of money right after school through his tutorial. Adrew Kramer is amazing
I'm SO happy this happened! I missed Andrew Kramer and I love Andrew price so this is the best of everything!
So inspiring and insightful. Andrew Kramer's tutorials really opened my mind when I was in middle school.
Great series, SO inspiring. I've just discovered a few of them and I can't wait to binge watch while I work on my side projects. Blender Guru, you're doing a great job.
I can´t thank you enough for this interview! Andrew is such a great guy. Nice, talented, fun, inspiring. He has changed the lifes of thousands if not millions people.
"Make a movie quality shot" is really good advice. I got inspired to become a VFX artist by Andrew and have been doing it part time for the last 5 years besides my studies, and really finishing a shot teaches you to focus on the details. The basic technique is often easy to understand, but fixing all those edges and getting the key REALLY clean under less than ideal conditions and similar stuff takes a good eye and bunches of roto/painting/pulling your hair out. Knowing how to solve these problems really advances your skill.
I work as a graphic designer with Blender every day.I can relate to the things being said about swapping out assets that don't fit the scene. However I also think it is very much true for creating music as well. Sometimes I sweat to make this cool bass synth, but then when I play it I realize it doesn't fit the rest of the track. I either have to mute it and leave if out, or mold it into something different that will work with the composition.
Anyway - very inspiring interviews you're making Andrew - thank you!
2 hours already? That was fast, these two can go on and on for days and I wouldn't tire listening. There should be a PODCAST by now right? RIGHT??? Who's with me?
Andrew Kramer changed a lot in my life, I found myself in motion design through several years following his works and tutorials, Great Interview!!
I've only joined your channel about a month ago and from that moment you got my attention the way Andrew Kramer did, what a pleasant surprise it was to watch the two of you together. Great video, Thanks!
How to learn VFX? Shoot a movie yourself and learn on the job. That is SUCH great advice. I love this guy!
yea the release of Saber was amazing. And know hearing it from Andrew you just realise how just incredibly nice guy he is. He just wanted to do a nice thing so he released this huge tool for free because he is nice :)
We need more people like Andrew
Andrew you are an inspiration & just an overall decent human being. My respect and thanks goes out to you/Videocopilot
That smile in Andrew's face during the entire video. :)
Lluc RB bisexual 😂
I absolutely LOVE this guys attitude and mindset. People like him make 3d possible for the rest of us
Two of the greatest Andrew in the same place.
I had a major passion for VFX in high school but recently got back in to it full fledged with an emphasis on 3D modeling. I just wanted to say I'm excited to be another Andrew in the field!
Andrew Kramer is just such a funny and nice person to look at and listen to. I really enjoyed this interview!
It's so crazy to see both of these guys in a room together, I remember watching Andrew Kramer's tutorials since the very first tutorial he made a long time ago. Fast forward a few years and this interview happens. Glad to see this interview happen, Kramer is always so funny. Also the irony of you both being named Andrew is uncanny!
Andrew Kramer is a true hero, thank you
This man was who got my 15 year old ass into visual effects and editing. Thanks for doing this interview!
Andrew , I start my career because you. You bring me in !
My two favorite tutorial makers... Are in the same video, talking for almost 2 hours. 😀
nahh no way i found u back here, your petition short is the best bro.
art as business and business as art Andrew Kramer managed to keep his integrity and still made good
My two favourite tutors finally together in one video. Cool staff, Andrews :D More videos like this! I’m really interested who will be the next guest :)
Andrew and Andrew; the masters of UA-cam VFX.
Andrew Kramer改变了很多中国的视效从业者，很多人都是看着AK的教程学会的AE,在中国他被称为AK大神！是整个行业从业者尊重的老师！写这个评论主要是没看到有中文留言，而且我的英文是真的差，但对AK的热爱是真的溢于言表！
Oh, Kramer. Many sleepless nights have been spent with him. :D Tho it was very funny how you were so surprised about the blender bullet tutorial because you were talking about that with him on your podcast interview some years ago. But I will forgive that, because of the cinematic effect. :P
Yeah I forgot about that until seeing it in the edit haha.
Oh, that happens to us all sometimes. :)
Hi Sorbias! i love your tutorials!
Love it when Andrew does an impression of himself
I was watching your tutorials thinking 'man, this guy is like the Andrew Kramer of Blender!"... then this video showed up. Great stuff:)
I'm only 15 minutes in and I can't believe how great this is !
It's not dry, it's informative and really entertaining!
Andrew Kramer and Andrew Price are the best.
I really missed the interviews and podcasts you made Andrew, so glad they are finally returning. They are perfect listening material for me while I work. Keep 'em coming!
Absolutely true that you need a project to learn properly. You can't just say "Oh, I'll skip this bit" if it's exactly what you need to move your project forward.
This is one of those special moments in space time history.
Man.. I can feel the energy in the room.
Thanks for having done this, Learned so much
Wow...just wow. I remember watching Andrew Kramer's tutorials 8 years ago when I was in high school. I am the type of person who wants to learn different types of knowledge every single day so I taught myself many "useless" skills including video editing and vfx. Little did my parents know that all of those "useless" skills I acquired would help me through college as an architecture student.
I love both Andrews
I first recgnized Andrew Kramer then Andrew Price
They are amazing teachers and programmers
Andrew you’re an explosion of creativity.. Every video you’re in is very inspiring and interesting and i love the way you talk..
ahhhh this is so surreal! i watched both your tutorials and videos religiously in highschool and to see you both in the same room is just amazing x'D
I only wish I could click the thumbs up multiple times! Awesome work Andrew P. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to more in the interview series.
you might as well call this interview, "the blend of great minds and its after effect!!"
I used to watch Andrew Kramer in elementary school! I loved his videos and he got me into tech. I'm currently at Georgia Tech learning game development with Blender Guru
HEY WHATS UP, ANDREW KRAMER HERE
Thanks to him I learned so much in AE and I miss new tutorialson the videocopilot site :/
My whole After Effects Foundation was brought to you by AK and Video Copilot. You helped me beyond belief AK!

Two Andrews in the house!
Legendary video on UA-cam!!
I can't belive it, 2 of my favourite artists in one video. After seen Ryan Connoly and Andrew Kramer, I can finally see also this Combo!
Its so great to see two so intelligent people in a conversation. Even the Joke Andrew K. does are so fast thought. Id listen to a podcast of you too all year ! Even though i know Andrew is pretty busy and Andrew is also...
Where my passion for motion design all started, Videocopilot.net! Thank you Andrew Kramer!
I have job an career because of Andrew Kramer he inspired me to create my future :) thanks Andrew will meet you some day

This video is literally the most exciting video on youtube for me.coffee set,time set,lets hear the MASTERS!! 🤗
I think its funny to note, how amazing the quality of this video is, and WHERE he is. So much nerding out on all levels, video, editing, business, and even some ad-lib acting, I LOVE IT! thanks a ton for this and all your videos, I have learned a ton!
