MILG5 - Official Tutorial List
Hello my friends. We are getting closer and closer to finally releasing MILG5 as promissed. I thought that I could share the official tutorial list with you, so here I go:
Create a cool-looking gyroscopic element completely within After Effects. This tutorial includes extensive use of Shape Layers, parenting and simple expressions to create a technical look using almost no keyframes.
Create a slick push pin toy effect as seen in the Radiohead “House of Cards” video. This tutorial shows you how to combine regular footage with Trapcode’s popular Form plug-in to create an eye-popping 3D effect.
Create a reusable retro-style computer terminal animation. Harness the power of expressions, including some undocumented features to change the text content and look on the fly. Learn how to turn a simple typewriter effect into realistic DOS-style computer readout.
Create a realistic and detailed Jumbotron-style video screen. This tutorial includes must-know keying techniques, tips on creating volumetric lights and presets, and ingenious workflow for creating complex looks on a single layer using the CC Composite effect. The advanced CE Screenify effect is also included in the download exclusively for Making It Look Great 5 viewers.
Create the stylish effect where a character suddenly bursts into hundreds of butterflies. In this lesson learn how to create a smart butterfly rig using Trapcode 3D Stroke, control Trapcode Particular particles using dispersion maps, build volumetric backlighting using Trapcode Lux and use the amazing Avidion MotionGrabber effect (not included with the download) to automatically track a layer’s alpha channel.
Master fast and precise color correction techniques using standard After Effects tools including Colorama and CC Composite. In this tutorial learn how to fine tune a look using the Colorama effect as a range selection tool, allowing adjustments to specific aspects of the footage.
Create an infinitely zooming spycam look. This tutorial starts with basic techniques for creating a simple slide show then covers amazing, time-saving techniques for automating transitions between layers using expressions.
Create automated subtitles based on layer markers. This short tutorial demonstrates how to automate subtitle creation.
Create a realistic dripping blood effect without using keyframes or expressions. This lesson includes a great study of precomposing and demonstrates how to use a Photoshop-style brush with the CC Time Blend effect to paint text onto the screen.
Create a funky disco-style animation based totally on sound. This lesson includes a slick technique for creating running lights using Trapcode Form together with the Colorama effect, basic camera movement, techniques using the CC Time Blend and Wave Warp effects and plenty of simple expressions.
More details will be available shortly in the upcoming free introduction video, so stay tuned.
Really looking forward to this!

Very cool!! But can i buy this with paypal instead of using a credit card? (like with the other MILG series)
WoOoot said this November 17th, 2008 at 9:41
Sales system is still being set up, so I can’t really tell, but I think that will be the case.
Maltaannon said this November 17th, 2008 at 10:20
Yes, this will be available via Paypal. Best, JD

omg i couldnt expect this MILG5 to look so interesting!!
i might have missed the info but is there some date of release for this one?
great to hear from you again Jerzy
hope we can share a cigaret someday :p but we’d better quit smoking and share a beer :p
Chatton said this November 17th, 2008 at 11:21
Sure. Just let me know when you’re in Poland and we’re sure to have one ;)
Maltaannon said this November 17th, 2008 at 12:10
Hi,
In previous MILG’s most of the tutorials required Zaxwerks plugins. How about this edition, apart from Trapcode, do they require other 3rd party plugins?
Michal said this November 17th, 2008 at 12:10
Yes, Finally you did this my friend. My sincere congratulations George ;) Keep it UP
PS: All AE users including Gurus must have this release of MILG
fReezEr. said this November 17th, 2008 at 12:57
There’s no Zaxwerks involved. It’s all in the tutorial descriptions and in the previous blog posts on this subject.
Maltaannon said this November 17th, 2008 at 13:17

Awesome! I’m going to look out for this!
Blake said this November 17th, 2008 at 17:37
Sounds pretty cool….shame I can only do a few of the things on there.
I don’t have Form or lux….so I think it isnt really worth it unless you want to use everything…sorry mate :(
I’ll look into it though ;)

Cool, is there a minimum system requirement to do this tutorial?
vianz said this November 22nd, 2008 at 10:03
Uuuuh it looks good. Hope you’re well Jerzy, looking forward to the DVD. Best wishes.
Janus said this November 22nd, 2008 at 19:56
Can’t wait!
Looks like you have some fun insights.
I know how to do all of this- but its your workflows that always blow my mind. Your use of expressions and tricks inspire the hell out of me.
von pixel said this November 26th, 2008 at 17:39
Thats exactly the point here. Most of the effects are well known, and I decided to reinvent the wheel if you know what I mean.
Maltaannon said this November 26th, 2008 at 22:29
awesome dvd, can’t wait!
