We all love Trapcode Particular! But one thing it cannot do natively is emit multiple different particles through a single emitter. Imagination Creations shows you a great flexible work around to emit any number of different particles with just one emitter! Check out the video for a detailed tutorial with many tweaks and settings, but for those who want the shorthand, below is a quick step by step walk through.
When I'm not out filming or meeting with clients, it is a safe bet that I'm in my office editing. That means I'm switching back and forth between Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro. (Not to mention some related Photoshop and Illustrator files as well as the odd Google Doc.) For someone who spends so much time working with files in After Effects and Premiere Pro, a way to make the two work together is a highly valuable tool.
There is nothing more rewarding then being able to put your skills toward helping a charity. Produced for Life Vest Inside, The Science of Giving is an animated explainer video that scientifically proves to the world why it is good to give!
Inspired by 'Designed by Apple', completing this project was lots of fun, but it didn't come without its share of challenges. Telling a story with a series of dots takes much imagination and creativity. On the technical side, a lot of thought went into how to animate the various scenes to make the video feel natural and consistent.
Imagination Creations founder, Ari Grunzeweig, has just been selected as a Creative Cow Leader! Creative cow is a leading peer based website where creative professionals and amateurs alike turn to in order to learn, find solutions to challenges, or just see the cool stuff people are doing the the creative world.
Creative Cow has been a great resource for me throughout my career. Their tutorials and user forums are always very helpful and generally provide fast answers to your technical questions. My two tutorials, Green Screen Billboard Compositing and After Effects Handwriting Tutorial are now featured on Creative Cow. I am hoping to be able to create more soon.
It is very exciting to be a leader amongst cows!

Augmented reality is a technology where a user sees a static image come to life by looking at it through their phone or other enabled device. The challenge presented to me by my client was to simulate this technology, with out having to rent a city billboard. This was a fun project to tackle as it covered a number of different concepts and effects. Due to this, the tutorial is a bit long, but I think you will learn a lot!
