Wow. Didn't expect Andrew to make me tearing up a bit in the end. The Feels.
I also want to thanks you for this inspiring speech. It's motivating me especially the "waste time" part. As I am watching this, I should be working on my design assignment for the university which I need to hand in in 2 hours.... Oh boy. Let's get the work done now haha :) (but seriously, it made me think twice about time management)
I know those feels bro.
Agreed. I love the end when he's talking about his parents. Best. Keynote. Ever.
the AE teacher of all of us
anybody know why he was so emotional when talking about his parents? they passed away?
I think it was just the passion and perhaps the sacrifices they may have made and how much the encouraged and supported him.
When you talk in front of crowd everything is magnified--He loves his parents!!!
More like the AE God.
I opened this just to save it and watch it later, but I couldn't stop watching!
Great stuff Andrew.,
EXACTLY Same thing happened to me, I found myself staying up at 7AM watching it..
Exactly I was going to bed ,, But I start watching it and I couldn't stop !! He is really awesome..
Indeed. I was going to do something else, but decided to watch it anyway.
Hussain AlMarkhi
Completly the same!! Just to watch it another day or something, then boom, just dont skiped it
I was going to say the exact same thing!! I've just experienced the most productive 47 minutes of work today.
Definitely caught the feels at the end.
same
Andrew Kramer for President
I teared up at the end.
Me too, man.
Same
Unexpected
ShaXCwalk Especially when the whole video involved sitting on your chair without falling to the ground laughing.
To be honest me too ..
Words can't express how inspiring this was for me. Thank you Andrew. :)
Amazing Key Note Speech! Andrew you've always been a huge inspiration!
man... you are an icon for a lot of people, including me. Ill be talking to my kids about you one day ;)
Thank you for this video, Andrew Kramer. I'm glad you were able to share your passion for this medium with us. In just a few short years Video CoPilot managed to inspire and guide a whole generation of people through the world of VFX and Motion Design. I think it'd be fair to say this, we all cut our teeth on those Video CoPilot tutorials from back in the day. Be it shamelessly recreating what you did and passing it off as our own in the sort of way that youth naivete permits, to learning and grasping the fundamentals that the tutorials were trying to instill and making our own things, taking it down a new path. You made After Effects accessible, and for that, I cannot thank you enough.
love this guy. He is a ture inspiration for me. got tears in my eyes at the end.
So few keynote speakers make me laugh, this was a pleasure to watch.
I know right? I love how funny he is!
Timestamp please!
This was amazing. I know, as you said, that these motivational videos kind of get you on a quick high but not actually help much in the long term, but I genuinely feel inspired after watching this video. I've been following your work for years, the first tutorial I ever watched from you was how to make reflective water, and watching as you and Video Copilot grew to take on these massive hollywood projects has been amazing. I found myself getting kinda emotional toward the end haha, all I can say is that this video and your work as a whole is simply amazing. Short version: thank you!
Agree with u bro...This Man is Amazing...#Respect :)
Awesome, you're a true inspiration
I took a lot from this Andrew. I really liked that you showed your reel from 2002. It showed what hard work and talent can evolve into. Thanks for everything you do for us.
Loved the video. It's always a pleasure to watch Andrew talking about situations we all face one day or another, both with his natural humor and his insightful advices. The 20% of lensflare part is priceless, as well as the ending. If I didn't spoiled myself by reading comments before seeing the end, maybe I would have been tearing up like several of you. This is a powerful motivating speech. I salute the guys at Video Copilot for their amazing response and help, as a customer. Probably my favorite company, probably my favorite graphic designer.
Andrew, I hope you realize that getting choked up at the end of your lecture connected so many people to you on so many levels. Your love for your family, your art, and for the ones who inspired and supported you will take you beyond any tangible reward on this earth. Keep up the love brother.
Oh my god that last part.. My heart!
Andrew, you are an inspiration for all of us, thank you so, so much!
I need to create more, this last year of procrastination ends now. Great presentation.
this is amazing. in 20 years of using the internet I never found a person as inspiring and motivating as andrew. thank you for all you did and do.
This is simply one of the many videos on youtube that I will never forget. Andrew Kramer is the best!!!
I remember the day when I was following one of your tutorials. You were explaining what is the time watch in After Effects and you showed that you could key frame all the values to create animation. At that time, I realized that After Effects is AMAZING!!!! You can do anything with it. It is crazy!!!
Now... I'll just go back on my chair and continue the drawing I was doing.
Wow... nearly 10 years never seen him that emotional what a fun loving guy. Great outcomes comes with great past learning experience. This speaks and tell us that where he is now his parent must be proud of him. What a hardworking guy, teacher, giver he is. Love him. I and we have a job and intrested in this field just for. You are the best and thanks a million
Thanks, Andrew Kramer. Over the past 4 years, you have empowered and inspired me to do things with videos that I never thought would be possible. Great keynote.
I started watching you in 2007/2008 when I was like 13 years, now i´m almost 20 years and you are my idol, now I´m studing game developer (Environment 3D Artist) and you opened my eyes, you change my vision of the "normal world" and you maked me to saw the world with more creative look. I know you will not read this comment ^^ but if you are reading this... THANK YOU
Dear Andrew,
I've watched your whole lecture and wanted to tell you that it was great!
I discovered VideoCopilot and your tutorials many years ago and since then I'm following your work. For me After Effects is Andrew Kramer, and Andrew Kramer is After Effects - You and this awesome software are bounded for life!
Keep doing what you do best, enjoy every second of it, and keep sharing your talent for many years to come. You're the best inspiration to all of us! :)
Best regards,
Gal Shemesh
He is the only guy who can teach AE better. I'm not much into special effects, but I watch his tutorial only to listen to his voice. He's got a great sense of humor. love you Andrew.!!
I'm learning AE just for fun for a project at work (I work at a large bank). I've become addicted to the video co-pilot videos and spent my last week on a RUclips rabbit hole on them (to the point of stopping when it's a dude overseas in his bedroom doing tutorials). This one I'm sending around, this stuff resonates to everyone. Now I'm fully hooked.
Every time I need that deep motivational drive, I come back to Kramer. You are a good man!
I was telling a couple of friends that I was feeling incredibly burned out at work and with all the freelance stuff I've been taking lately, I loved that you touched on that, thank you so much!
Wow! One of the videos that made me stay and watch the whole 47 mins. Such awesomeness this guy is having.
great.! no words... I'm still a beginner in vfx in Brazil, here I don't have someone to be inspired, just when I saw the first video of Andrew Kramer, I got future view to where I could reach in that AE programm one day. I just have to thank you, Andrew, to give me the opportunity to know a genius in my life even beeing so far, Brazil, I don't know if I will be able one day to build my own stuffs but at least you made me to believe in it. in the end of this video you just showed us how connect you are with what you are doing. I hope to shake your hand one day in person. thanks a lot to share your passion with us.
Hey Andrew, this was truly expectional. It was your masterpiece tutorial... on life!! Thanks for posting it and thanks for all your tutorials to date. They have really helped a countless amount of people, present company included, do what they do!!
Man oh Man! This was time well spent! I remember watching your tutorials when I was working as a post-producer on a Cable TV station. There were sometimes when your tutorials helped me take on a new perspective of things and eventually making my work more useful to my bosses. Really, thank you for sharing your knowledge so openly and with your unique humor. Keep on moving man! Hugs from Ecuador, South America
Probably the most inspiring speech that I have ever seen. You have the "Gift of Gab" which keeps so many focused on you when you speak. Your video effect skills are unmatched. Thanks a bunch Andrew! I always look forward to your new material.
Awesome all the way through, just like your other work! I'm a sound engineer, musician and hobby photographer, and now I'm suddenly producing all of the visuals and my entire live show thanks to you! Never stop learning. Just great, thank you so much for spreading this infectious joy of learning.
You also crack me up, hahaha
This is the best speech I've ever seen. Thanks there!
The feeling at the end... I know that feeling. He didn't even have to say more. Thank you Andrew. 5 years late on discovering you but you've been guiding me for the past few months.
I'm glad your work and all of this means a lot to you. It means a lot to all of us. Thank you. The world needs more Andrew Kramers!
I was an engineering major back in 06 when I ran into VideoCopilot. Some buddies and I were making a short film during down times and I fell in love with the craft. Andrew's tutorials were so mind blowing and fun. I quit school then went back a few years later and got my degree in film and have been persevering ever since. Andrew Kramer has been one of my biggest inspirations. His vulnerability at the end gave me so much inspiration. Love you man. Thanks for your hard work.
Andrew Kramer = GOD of After Effects
God Bless you Andrew, my wife and I watched this over breakfast and we both teared up in the end, so much passion with what you do it's really inspiring
That ending though 😭 you can tell he had really great and supportive parents that mean a lot to him. What a guy.
Every a few month when I feel I need some pushs I come back to this video to refresh my mind and my life too .. Thanks Andrew
Andrew, thank you for sharing this with us. I'm an indy filmmaker and I completely understood your struggles and the sacrifices your parents made so that you can continue doing your thing. I have bought all of your products and because of YOU my stuff has a higher production value. Thank you. I will be showing this to a group of filmmaking teens that I teach the fundamentals of filmmaking. Great job.
Man this was great, the message I got from this as a young guy trying to get into the film making world was no matter what your skill set is with persistence we can all make. Very inspirational Andrew, thank you.
Truly amazing. Andrew Kramer and Videocopilot, we just can't thank you enough. Keep up the great work and be an inspiration to all of us.
Andrew, I just wanna say thank you. You've helped me in so many ways throughout my teenage life, I remember watching your videos when I was 15 going along step by step trying to remake the graffiti tutorial. I actually used the same technique just the other day for a motion graphic... man you're great, and you've gotten me into an amazing industry. I'm now 21 with an Interview with Cartoon Network as a graphics artist done and dusted, I didn't get in unfortunately but the fact is I got that far and you helped me get there. That was only last week.
Thanks man. Seriously.
Thank you, Andrew, for this fantastic presentation! I have been using your products and following your tutorial videos since around 2010. Starting an audiovisual arts channel with my wife as of less than 2 months ago, I found this at the perfect time. This is such an inspiration and positively affirming challenge to step it up and keep growing, working hard, and moving forward! :)
What incredible motivation you give Mr. Kramer. Just when my current motion graphics job is getting somewhat dry due to the topic of the video I'm working on (not to say I don't love what I do because I certainly do), you fire up a furnace within me. Thank you so much!
Watching this in 2019.
And I'm so sad not having seen it since 2014.
You're so incredible!!!
Congrats and long life to you!
I never would have expected to cry in the end when he was talking about his family and how lucky he is that they had supported him. Not every parents do that.
I really take my hat off to his family and OF COURSE to Andrew Kramer. Man, You and Your family... You are awesome. I really hope it stays that way.
This guy is the best :) Your presentation was so inspiring. Thanks Andrew! I have been enjoying your tutorials for many years now. They are among the best and, surprisingly, the funniest tutorials the net has to offer. It's nice to see you have the success you've had. You deserve it!
My inspiration meter is officially through the roof. Thank you Mr. Kramer.
Andrew, i don't know if your going to read this, but i just want you to know that you inspired me in so many ways to follow my dream of being a production house. When i'm in my car listening to music i emagin video scenes and effect that i learned from you in it. And when i look past the products and content you bring , i see a really nice guy that anyone would get allong with in a instant, with a nice wife and kids. When you got emotional in the end i felt it. Please keep on doing what you do, we all love you for it. Respect.
Standing Ovation...Great and wise words...that's keeping me motivated to learn more and more every single day...Thanks Andrew Kramer...
Wow, ... this brought me comfort. Being new to the vfx world, it's a bit overwhelming, but this really helped Andrew. Thank you.
Thanks Andrew. Your tutorials are very helpful. I've only been following you about a year, but I have learned so much since then. I am so glad I watched this speech. I have been struggling in sticking with my video editing and this has helped me realize what I need to do to get back on that. I guess that is a good thing since that is what I am majoring in haha. Thanks again!
Man! What a heartfelt ending! I never expected that. Thanks for sharing your passion to us, Mr. Andrew! More power to Videocopilot!
Keep doing what you do Andrew. The amount of talent that you show and share with the world has had and obvious impact in the motion graphics industry. Hold that head up proudly and know your parents are looking upon you with huge pride. You deserve all the success that has and come to you. Your hard work displays in everything you do. Thank You!
THIS SPEECH IS OUTSTANDING.THANK YOU FOR THIS,ANDREW.
The best speech about CG I ever heard. That was a huge kick of inspiration. Thank you very much Andrew for sharing your knowledge and experience with so amazing attitude. Learning from you it's pure fun.
I don't use AE for long time but I still watch your tutorials because I can transfer your ideas with my creativity in to almost every software. Even when I used AE as main compo tool, I wasn't able and never wanted "Copy&Paste" your tutorials in my pipeline. I always wanted to translate it in "my logic" and make it plausible with my knowledge and taste. It's prove what you said about how to apply tutorials' knowledge in smart way and stand out with own style and taste. Otherwise that would be only a competition of "Who is the biggest CG Cooking Book" but fortunately world doesn't work in that.
I didn't know what to expect from this but it was so insightful and worth the watch. Thanks Andrew.
The best keynote that we watched ever. Simply awesome.
I've always looked up to you as an artist and generous hard working man, but at the last minute of your keynote it hit me: I freakin love you Andrew!! ;D Thank you!
A great inspiration from an Idol I adore so much but I teared out at the end because my young wife was very supportive. But I lost this year 04/27/2018. I wish she was here to watch and be successful together. Great one , thank Andrew.
Awesome Andrew!! The ending is unexpected and heartfelt. All the best !
Mr. Kramer, you are such an inspiration to me. Your genuine heart and wisdom just pours out of every word you say. God bless you dude.
I was skulking around on video copilot and just watched this video from almost 7 years ago, but it is super helpful and inspirational, especially now. Thanks Andrew.
Thank you Andrew, I have learned a lot from your tutorials and have been inspired to be creative due to your work and the way you explain things!
So happy to see this, I follow you since videocopilot began, and like many others I've read here, I had the opportunity to learn and apply that knowledge in production until the present day. I identify a lot with your stories and see this keynote was very important at this moment in my life. I would like to thank you and say that you are really a transformative person.
same here :)
Incredible, best speech i've ever seen on any topic ever! Ofcourse I don't watch a lot of speeches, but I'm sure I'll watch this one again and again whenever I need the motivation.
You got me teary eyed at the end. Thank you for everything!!!
I've always just played with After Effects as a hobby. 99% of what I've learned was from watching Andrew's tutorials. I've watched as his website has grown to the mega site it is now, and have supported him how I could in buying his products. Nothing but respect for someone who devotes so much time into helping others for free.
This is great. I'm a CSUN graduate who majored in Cinema and TV arts but have struggled in the last year trying to freelance. This was a good motivational video that kind of just puts me in the right direction. Its one of those things where you know its not easy to break into success but hearing from a professional and tell you his break into Hollywood just makes you feel better. Also, its a great speech covering the fact of not wasting time, don't stress too much, and just work hard.
Really great keynote, Andrew.
Very nice to see you show your passion for your work.
That is something that I greatly respect!
love andrews sense of humor. finally a "not a dead" audience, love it. I always love watching these speeches
I almost cry at the end :(
I love you Andrew!
Andrew your work has always inspired me from a young age! I've always been worried of what I was going to be when I grow up and with all that I developed depression. The only thing that held me together was the idea that one day I might accomplish something within film, your videos helped me strive towards my goal. Thanks to your inspiration I have finished my high school "Media Studies" with an A, and I have started my first week of University in "Film Technology and Visual Effects" in Birmingham, UK. I want to thank you for being an inspiration to not only me but everyone else! Much Appreciation!!!
truly inspirational. not only making the best plugins, stock & tuts, but offering to all of us that life experience, wisdom and philosophy. with the sense of closeness of a friend. Chapeau Andrew. (Also i laugh a lot the out of the box from the calling really made my abs hurt)
Andrew is such a fantastic person and this is such a great stuff, very inspirational even for me who have already been working in this industry for about 8 years. And this video I think is a must see for everybody, not only designers or editors, it'll fit for everybody. Thank you, Andrew, for doing all this :)
Wow Andrew! Thank you for uploading this video for all the world to see! -Cody
Truly inspiring!!! Thanks Andrew!
This was great. At the end I wanted to go up there and give him a hug. So touching. Aww Andrew :) You inspire me.
damn man. i just watched this thing all the way through. i can dig almost everything you went over. a lot i already do, and a lot i have been procrastinating on and whining about instead of just doing it. you have done a bunch that kept me inspired over the years. and helped so many of us. thanks Andrew. see ya on the other side, compadre
This man is directly responsible for all of the success I have had in motion design and video production. I cannot say it enough, THANK YOU ANDREW.
Fantastic Keynote Andrew!
I've always wanted to get into VFX and Video Copilot has been a great source of inspiration.
I honestly had no idea that you were involved with Fringe, Star Trek and Bad Robot etc. but then your tutorials have always been of a high standard so it came as no surprise.
Very emotional at the end.
Keep up the fantastic work!
We love you man, the things you love to do made people all around the word discover what they want to be.
You are simply original, Love from Yemen.
One of the best inspiring and amaizing people I have ever seen :)))) Andrew Kramer thanks a lot!
Superb presentation. I shed a few tears at the end there
Thank you Andrew for all you work and hearth you put into VideoCopilot. I have always dreamed about being a director. Film school was too expensive for my parents so I decided to do it differently- learn myself. Back in a high school I started recording my own videos and doing VFX for them. I really sucked. I tried to do my best but they were really bad. I was thinking- "maybe I should reconsider doing something else...". One day I found your website. All those tutorials, the knowledge that was just right there... It opened my mind. At the same time I was still thinking "I will never be as good as Andrew Kramer!". I decided to do my best and try, just try, to catch up, to try being as good as you. Whenever you released a new tutorial I was doing my personal check: "I learned something new from Andrew, it means that I am still behind him". Today, after a few years I am an employed VFX artist at small game company. I do all the effect and movie cutscenes. I also realized that in some areas I started to catch up ;) Next year I want to open up my own business where I can do games and share my knowledge by doing game VFX tutorials- just like you do. Also, what you say about knowing own priorities, realizing that family is the most important thing in the life is something that should have been told earlier. I know many people who chase their dreams no matter what, they work too hard and eventually loose their loved ones...
I would like to thank you again for everything you do. You are a truly inspiring person and unrivalled idol of mine.
This can be related to so much more than just movie making. This can be related to everything you do ! Such a great lecture !
The stuff he was talking about wasn't ground breaking, and there wasn't a whole lot of content for a 47min speech, but I just couldn't stop watching. I've seen all his tutorials and I have great admiration for the guy. He can make anything sound interesting, and he is just a real genuine guy. I have a lot of respect for him and I wish him nothing but the best. Looking forward to seeing what he does next!
I love seeing the old demo reel... we all have those older reels that look pretty damn funny these days.
*****
At 16:25 Oldschool 2002 stuff. I should post my reel from 1989... Funny how far we have come.
Love this speech! Thanks Andrew for keeping us inspired and motivated! More powers to you and the Video Copilot Team!!!
Wow, what a fantastic video. Thank you for all you do for US! You're such a great help to many people!
This was very insightful! Thanks for uploading Andrew! And it's so amazing that you made the Star Trek intro, I never even knew that, it's amazing! And the ending really messed with my emotions, but almost in a good way. :') You're such an inspiration to me!
Just watched the entire thing. You are a funny guy! Love your tutorials and this amazing talk. Keep up the good work Andrew!
speechless, motivated, reflective and so many other feelings! Well done !!
