That's pretty damn good for a first try!  Looks like a professional commercial.
That's Mr. Deception to you.

Hmmm, I may have to get into some after effects.  I like the blurred text look!  Is that a built in effect?

Yup. It's called motion blur lol. All you have to do is flag the layer to accept motion blur. And that's it. quite nice.

Before, when I thought of After Effects, the first thing that came to my head was an extra add-on for Adobe Premiere. F*ck that! AE is wicked powerful.

One of the coolest things about it is it's not actually 3D. It's more like 2.5D. You can do some REALLY amazing things with it that makes it look 3D... and in a sense, it is. Think of it this way:

Photoshop has layers to make up one 2D image. Well what if you were able to rotate those layers and give each of them a Z-axis? You could then create a cube. Cool. After Effects does exactly that + animation. You can even import a photoshop document and manipulate those layers. It's awesome!

Haha, I saw you try to sneak in "beer" and "sex" there at the end and have it whiz by real quick so we wouldn't see it. You can't fool me, I know what's on your mind! ;)

Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

Haha I actually tried to slow them down some, because they are pretty hard to make out, but I wanted to have the varied speeds in there too, so I left them as is

Wow, Tibs has actually contributed something quite useful. I'm impressed, those tutorials seem very well done indeed and the price can't be beat. I did notice, however, that I had to disable AdBlock in Firefox to let the tutorial play properly.

I just noticed in Tibs' signature he OC'd his 2.4ghz AMD 4000+ to 2.5ghz....do you need water cooling with that?  I mean 100mhz is pushing it to the extreme!  j/k
That's Mr. Deception to you.

Funny I didn't have to. It just played outright, and it is active.

I'm using AdBlock Plus with the Filterset.g Updater add-on, so my AdBlock settings may be a bit more aggressive than yours.
