Thanks Eddie, I’m glad to hear we helped you on your path. It’s easy to forget how people in every corner of the world fell in love with After Effects, and yes, it’s so much easier now to keep in touch through the web. In the very early days, the only good forum was the “CoSA Cafe” on AOL.

Wow, this was amazing! I remember asking my parents to buy me the first edition of the book from one of their trips and bring it for me to Ecuador. Those days the internet didn’t have as much information as now an for a young guy in a third world country was very hard to find the right path to follow. I just want to say thank you to Chris and Trish for being the best teachers I had. I really hope you could come to Ecuador one day and share your knowledge with us.
Of course thanks to John for such a great series.

I’m kinda flattering myself comparing myself to this funny and creative couple,but I drove the same road from music production into the world of motion graphics and after effects pretty smoothly I have to say.Coincidence or just creative mind working the same paterns…
By the way I still have tons of articles and pdf files from DV.Great stuff.Nice people.Definitely Guru.And you,John,my friend,have to be less shy.
You definitely are modern MegaGuru.Your series of MILG 6 are mindblowing!!!
Also thank you for this unplugged series as well.Watched them all.For people who live and breathe this industry,seeing these wonderful people(and not only hearing their voices) is totally like it is for most people meeting Michael Jackson alive(!).

Hi Roy, the interview was too long for one part so I split it in the middle ;o) Best, John.

“i saw they can explain really in detail.which easy to understand.”

I think a lot of that comes from teaching “live”: You get to see whether or not people are understanding your explanation (whether they are writing down notes, or giving you a blank, puzzled stare), and as a result you either know that explanation connected, or you need to find a different way to explain a concept. I keep those faces in my mind when I record video training…

Actually, Ultravox was one of my inspirations for 3D and motion graphic design. They did a tour where they painted all of their instruments and set pieces gray, and used lighting to give them color throughout the show. That has inspired me to texture a lot of my 3D elements to be white or gray, and use lighting to colorize the scene. (It’s a variation on using colorful abstract footage blend-moded on top of other footage to add lighting to those shots.)

I’ve still have my original book from 98/99 (bookmarks & dogeared pages intact). It came with a cd of ‘goodies’: templates, projects & plug-ins(free glow!). I remember thinking that I had the inside track learning their tips & tricks — especially w/the newer tutorials that came out in DV magazine(couldn’t quite afford Brian’s tapes).

I still use a lot of their recipes & it was definitely nice to see them again. They deserve alot of respect plus they bring a sense of camaraderie & history to the AE community.

Thanks, John.

Hi John,

What an abrupt stop at the end… Can’t wait to see part 2! I was glue’d to my chair once again, watching your very interesting interview with Chris & Trish. Lovely people.

By the way, I’m a little jealous because it’s summer now in Australia. Greetings from the cold and rainy Netherlands.
