	Been a while since my last tutorial(s). Since then have figured out a few little tricks and other ways of doing things. Thought I'd put together a new tutorial for it. It's mostly aimed at those who are already familiar with AE and this tutorial does not go over the rotoscoping process, just how the workflow goes and how the comp(s) are built, etc. I might do an auxilary tutorial explaining the process of rotoscoping as well, for those who are getting started, but mainly wanted to share the 'new' method for those who are interested to see, and try out for themselves. I find it has it's advantages.

	I really like this new method, gives the user alot more options and is a bit more organized. From what i noticed it takes a bit of tweaking, as always, exepcially the first and second blur layers. But great work as always Ryan. -----signature----- aim/videomik3 http://www.MichaelFrisk.com It is possible to fail in many ways...while to succeed is possible only in one way. -Aristotle

	Thanks. Yeah, the blur numbers are always different. The opacities also will often need to be played with to get the right look. -----signature----- http://www.RyanVsDorkman.com http://www.twitter.com/RyanWieber

	Wow awesome tutorial Ryan. I didn't hear you say thrice though. I guess the new joke could be that "it doesn't matter which is on top" -----signature----- http://www.freewebs.com/podprofilms God's final message to his creation: We apologize for the inconvenience

	Nice, detailed method here. Perfectly explained. It's always good to have a new tutorials out there. Very interesting ideas, I'll have to try them out soon. Overall, excellent tutorial, and highly recommended. (By me.) Also particularly liked the ILM reference. -----signature----- Ross H. J. I met Derren Brown at Stevenage!

	Y'know, In my head I imagine you look like that cool guy with a beard who had those double-bladed lightsabers in entry #10 for the last choreography contest. Great tutorial BTW, What would be cool though, If you'll release a tutorial to how to make ROTS lightsabers, Because those really have various shades of color dependant on how close they are to the camera and sometimes they have volumes of different blurs (For example the part in episode III when Mace Windu holds the Lightsaber directly to the camera). -----signature----- Member of the Official Darth Vader Fan Club

	That's what you call inconsistent quality. personally, I strive for consistently good. ...but let's not let this become a ROTS saber debate. -----signature----- http://www.RyanVsDorkman.com http://www.twitter.com/RyanWieber

	Well, I thought it was okay, and was wondering if you violated any clause of your NDA with LucasArts to bring us these secrets. -----signature-----
