VIDEO COPILOT TUTORIALS
Andrew Kramer at Video Copilot has created some very good tutorials for After Effects that cover many of the popular Visual Effects techniques. Asides from being a lot of fun to watch I find them understandable to both industry veterans and amateur hobbyists alike!
If you're new to VFX or simply want to expand upon your bag of Compositing tricks check it out.
After you learn from his tutorials be sure to check out the other products he has for sale. Everyone has to pay their rent!
Cheers,
Mark
