Cool. Some nice looking stuff on Rampant's site and nice tutorials.

And looks like they one upped Digital Juice with the instant download purchase option. I can't count on both hands how many times I've been running up on a project deadline and found something in the Juicer (that I didn't own) which would work perfectly if only I could have gotten it before the day was over.

Misspelled "Rampant" in the thread title though.

You're correct, he is a clone of the Video Copilot guy right down to his humor.

Thanks for that. I just watched the tutorial here and it was great to watch a master at work.

Although he's using AE there's nothing in it that cannot be done in Vegas. There's a bit more work due to the lack of expressions so you've just got to manually keyframe some things. The important part is how he adds the extra displacement map, wobbly zoom and loss of focus to sell the final result.

Bob.

Nice. Like the zoom/de-focus wobbly camera work. Its in the details where it counts.
