New cool video online!

Sun, 28 Mar 2010 22:07:16 +0100

This is a new video made using only native plugins in Adobe Aftereffects. The video uses a very simple yet powerfull plug-in called "CC Ball Action" Many people overlook this great tool because of its simplicity, but you can see here that it can be used to create some very cool effects. We may or may not include a video tutorial for this in our particle training series "Modicum". If you would like a tutorial please let me know!

Over the next few weeks we are going to start a new video tutorial series entitled "Modicum" This video series will be focused entirely on creating and manipulating digital particle systems in programs such as Adobe Aftereffects, 3DS Max, as well as other compositing, and 3d apps.

In this 10 part series, we will be creating digital snow, rain, sparks, smoke, clouds, and dynamic motion graphics.

MDS Blog Online!

Sun, 28 Mar 2010 22:09:42 +0100

We are proud to announce the launch of our new blog page here at Mind Drop Studios. This page will be updated often with a wide range of content. We will soon be launching a series of tutorials covering everything from general video production workflows, to detailed motion graphics and visual effects techniques. We will mostly be using applications such as Adobe Premiere, Adobe Aftereffects, Autodesk 3ds Max, Vue, ZBrush, and more.

In addition to our tutorials we will also be discussing the latest industry news, technology, and developments within the visual effects world. We will try and update it as often as possible, hopefully about twice a week. We will be posting a new tutorial every 2 weeks. These will be free for the most part, although a few of the more involved ones might only be available for purchase for around $1 each.

Stay tuned, and we hope you enjoy the new blog!
