News - The After Effects Edition

VFX Color Grading in After Effects - a quick tutorial for After Effects users showing how to create more dynamic images by adjusting multiple copies of the same video.

Animated Font - Franchise
This is sort of cool; an animated font. The Type Face was designed by one person, then animated by 110 animators in After Effects.

"The file contains all the keyframes, expressions and artwork from the artists. This makes it a great learning source for motion students and professionals."

Panasonic G6 Review – the GH2 Redux | EOSHD
The G6 achieves a certain yin-and-yang. With the GH3 now occupying a higher position in the line, the G6 has moved up to occupy the position once taken by our much loved GH2.
