  • Aw shucks, let’s go for nine… Welcome Andrew Kramer to the After Effects forum team

    Hi All,

    We talked yesterday and had a vote here at Cow Headquarters, known as The Barn (especially my office) and during these deliberations, we discussed adding Andrew Kramer to the team of the After Effects forum. “But there has never been nine on a team,” muttered an incredulous and disgruntled Cowdog between mouthfulls of beer-soaked kibble. He then added in his very muffled and dog-jowled kind of way that “It would be a violation of one of our most sacred tenets. Besides, I only have eight claws on these two paws and I can’t count any higher!” I reminded him that he did indeed have two hind paws and that left another eight positions open for each forum. “Imagine the possibilities,” I extoled. Cowdog just rolled his canine eyes and began chewing on his hind quarters.

    Needless to say, Cowdog later cast the only black marble in the bowl and voted against adding Andrew — though truth be told, it didn’t look like a marble and I’d swear that it was a piece of beer-soaked kibble and smelled like the same. Eric, who will eat almost anything, said it also tasted like it and spit it back into the bowl. In the end, Kathlyn cleaned it up decrying: “So this is what it means to be director, eh?” Both Eric and I dodged the whole thing by saying: “It’s not in our job descriptions to clean up after Cowdog; after all, we’re just a coder and a marketing guy — it’s not in our contracts.” So, once again, Kathlyn found out that being the head of a company can also mean that you are the company janitor as well as the president.

    In the end, it was decided, despite Cowdog’s protestations, that Andrew was a good guy and would make a real asset to the Cow Team in this forum and so we have added him. And now that you know what really goes on here at The Barn and how we really vote on things, please welcome Andrew Kramer to the After Effects team here at Creative Cow.

    And this is the way it really happened — honest, you know I wouldn’t tell stories or anything.

    Have fun, all.

    Congratulations Andrew!

    I just hope one day I’ll be good enough to speak english well and do great video tutorials ’cause I have a bunch of things I would like to show to others that can be done in After Effects.

    Looking foward to buy Film Magic Pro!

    Will there be any place for a tenth?

    LOL,
    Put me next to my fiance and then you’ll see some perspective. Not to mention I just went to get some reading glasses today and the EYE doctor told me that although my vision would improve my coolness would drop about 25 percent. She showed me the diagram and sure enough.

    Congrats Andrew!

    I don’t exactly know what kind of superpowers get those leaders above, but just to call you “leader” in the AE field, makes justice.

    Big welcome to you Andrew. I see you as an excellent asset to this Cowmmunity.
