    Great video! I watched a lot of tutorials about textures before, but the seperation into whites-midtones-blacks definitely was a new approach for me! Gonna use that in my work from now on. I found you because of your work for simplicissimus. Keep up the good work!

    Would be cool to see how to make a travel map kind of effect. Hard to put into words but for example in Harry Potter you have this map that show secret passage ways. Would be cool to see how it would be possible to animate this.

    This is absolutely incredible. I've always wondered about these sorts of textures but never really put the time in to figure it out. You made it so I didn't really need to, thank you so much! You explained everything so well that I was able to follow along in Fusion within Resolve instead of AE (I'm trying to learn and switch over). I can't wait to see your growth here! As for future content, I'd love to see the behind the scenes on some of your beautiful text animations.

    Awesome video Sky! I think this is really useful for someone with a general understanding of animation. Do you also plan on doing baseline tutorials for those completely new to the animation world in the future? As a complete novice, I think it would be great to see general tutorials on After effects, light variations, animation layers, or additive blending moods to name a few. Many of the concepts you covered could be teased out and made into their own videos. It would also add more content hours towards future monetisation requirements as well 😉. Thanks for making the vid! 🙏

    One of the main ways I learned over the years of watching videos is from a mix of difficulties - even early on when I didn’t understand concepts fully, getting little bits from a video added to my knowledge. My goal here is to make videos for everyone, but landing closer to the middle than purely beginner. However, I think over time if beginners continue to watch and see how I do things they’ll eventually pick up some important tools and techniques :)

    Where did you buy the Optical Glow plug-in?

  • @Skymography

    @Skymography

    Жыл бұрын

    Optical Glow is part of VFX Suite which is made by Red Giant. It's part of a monthly subscription which can get a bit pricey, so if you want a cheaper but really good alternative to it, look up Deep Glow on the aescripts website. It's very similar and runs off the GPU but is a one time purchase instead!

    Hey Sky, awesome walkthrough! I've always wondered how you made the "running effects" on the ground in Nathatniel's video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dH93o5qiZNG9cqw.html, if you could comment or make a video about that, I'd really appreciate it! ^^)
