Eran Hilleli’s amazing animation “Between Bears” just won the Vimeo Festival Award for Best Animation. Given the high quality of so much of the work shown on Vimeo, this is a truly standout achievement. We’re proud to say that both Trapcode Particular and Trapcode Form were used in this fantastic short film and we’re glad we were able to contribute to helping this talented artist bring his vision to life.

From Nick on greyscalegorilla.com:

“I recently posted a new preset over at RedGiantPeople for Trapcode Particular. It’s called “Sparkler” and it is based off of images of writing your name with a sparkler. You can see the example below. In this tutorial, I wanted to show you how you can write YOUR name with the preset using After Effects and Motion Sketch. By the way, If you don’t own Particular, what the heck are you doing with your life? Go Get it!!!“

Thanks Nick!!! This is awesome! Folks – Get the Free preset right HERE.

Just saw this fun video spoofing the Smoke Monster from Lost, by Seth Worley, using Trapcode Particular.

Lost Promo Contest – “The Only Mystery Left” from Seth Worley on Vimeo.

About the video Seth says:

“I made this as a submission to ABC’s “Ultimate Lost Fan Promo” Contest, but ABC never posted in on their site. I emailed them to find out if they even received it, and just got back an automated reply. Oh well. Enjoy it here.”

Well, Seth, we at Red Giant absolutely loved it, so we’re showing it here. If we could have voted, we’d have voted for you.

By the way, Trapcode Particular was actually used in “Lost” – you can read more about it here.

Episode 32: Feature Film Title Treatment
By Chan Bonanno

In this episode of RGTV, Chad Bonanno shows you how he created the motion graphics titles for the feature film “Dreamgirls.” These titles were also used in the broadcast ads and trailers for the award-winning film.

Hey folks – Another great Episode of Red Giant TV coming at you this week. This one comes from Rob Birnholz of Absolute Motion Graphics.

Episode 20: Creating a 3D Picture Montage with Trapcode Particular

In this Episode, Rob Birnholz shows you a great technique for quickly creating a 3D picture montage with Trapcode Particular. It takes just minutes to set up, but can save you hours of work.

Transporter effects, and binary transitions are cool and fun, but very rarely do we have a tutorial with a project that can be used in so man situations, and help you really make money. This one will be great for anyone who has corporate clients, but it’s applicable to so much more.

You can watch the episode here.

BTW – the episode opens with a sneak peak at Particular 2, so don’t miss it!

And, as always, just for watching the episode, you can get a discount on Trapcode particular (with free upgrate to particular 2) here.

Episode 19: Creating a Transporter Effect
Hosted by Eran Stern

In this episode, Chief Engineer Eran Stern works furiously to get his Starship’s transporters back on-line to rescue a fellow crew member trapped on a hostile planet. But time is running out. Will Eran be able to build the transporter in After Effects before it’s too late?

You can watch the episode here.

And, as usual, you can get a discount on Trapcode Particular, Knoll Light Factory, Key Correct Pro, and Magic Bullet Looks, but going here.
