    I just finished it the other night, I’m now just trying to see if I can get someone to host it for me. Either way, I’ll try to have it online before I leave for Siggraph on Sunday.

    The smoke video was a couple of tests I did to show a client how to do some sort of ghostly dissolving effects, like in The Haunted Mansion with Eddie Murphy.

    It’s really just the same principle as the disintegrate tutorial, the biggest visual difference is that I used a looping smoke curl sequence as the shape to give the particles a different feel, and faded the video clip of myself out over the course of 30 frames or so in After Effects before adding the smoke effect.

    The one where the smoke turns into me was a little more complicated. I animated it straightforward in pI, but then reversed the clip when I brought it into After Effects for final compositing.

    Just in case you didn’t get my email, wanted to let you know that there’s plenty of room in the cow corral. Just send me the files, and I’ll be happy to host it.
