She even bought a human-size Buddha statue last year.  I asked her why, and she said it was for our safety.  Que??  Anyway, she begged me to take her to the center of Buddhism, Thailand, last month.<\/p>\n<p>Her obsession over Buddhism scared the hell out of me.  I had to do something.  When we arrived at a big temple in Bangkok, I told her that I had to go to men&#8217;s room.  And I left her alone with Buddha statues.  Then I went to a place where she could not see me.  And I pulled MacBook out of my backpack and launched Adobe After Effects CS3.  In a matter of 8 minutes or so, I created an evil face in the sky.  And I heard her scream instantly.  I went back to her pretending that I knew nothing about what happened while I was gone.  She was terribly horrified and wanted to go home immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since we came back, she hasn&#8217;t talked about Buddhism.  And she has thrown away all her religious items.<\/p>\n<p>The following video tutorial shows steps to design a drawing with clouds, using Adobe After Effects CS3.  The video clip used in this tutorial comes from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.archive.org\/details\/Praha8\">Internet Archive<\/a>.  The original clip is compressed with MPEG, and we re-compressed it with H.264 beforehand.  <!--more--><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<table width=\"460\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tr valign=\"top\">\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/screenshots\/after_effects\/after_effects_simple_creativity_26_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/screenshots\/after_effects\/after_effects_simple_creativity_26_1.jpg\" height=\"165\" width=\"220\" alt=\"Adobe After Effects video tutorial\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/screenshots\/after_effects\/after_effects_simple_creativity_26_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/screenshots\/after_effects\/after_effects_simple_creativity_26_2.jpg\" height=\"165\" width=\"220\" alt=\"Adobe After Effects video tutorial\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<li>Adobe After Effects version: 8.0<\/li>\n<li>VTC version: 1.0<\/li>\n<li>Length: 8 minutes 39 seconds<\/li>\n<li>Video format: QuickTime<\/li>\n<li>Video compression: H.264<\/li>\n<li>Pixel size: 900 x 675<\/li>\n<li>Audio effects: Enabled<\/li>\n<li>Audio commentary: Enabled<\/li>\n<p><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<table width=\"440\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"200\"><a href=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"machouse\/video_tutorials_no_visitors.gif\" alt=\"Mac video tutorials\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td width=\"200\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/vtc\/adobe_after_effects\/after_effects_simple_creation_26.php\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"machouse\/video_tutorials_members.gif\" alt=\"Mac video tutorials\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Please read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/terms_guests.php\">Terms of Use for Guests<\/a> before watching any of the video tutorials.<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\nClick on the button to watch the sample movie. <a href=\"mac\/after_effects_sample\/ae_evil_clouds.mov\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/graphics\/button.gif\" width=\"25\" height=\"25\" alt=\"VTC\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nClick on the button to download a project file (.zip, 40.3 MB). <a http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/02\/download\/downloads.php#ae_025\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/graphics\/button.gif\" width=\"25\" height=\"25\" alt=\"VTC\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\nAdobe After Effects CS3 is a product of Adobe Systems Incorporated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adobe After Effects &#8211; Simple Creativity #26: Evil Face in the Sky I don&#8217;t know how it started, but my wife gradually became obsessed with Buddhism stuff in the last 5 years.
