motion design reel from last year #motiondesign #aftereffects

@harpriiya @a16z @speedrun incredible. just realized that we first connected here on DMs too, full circle moment.

I can finally talk about this!! Hotbox is backed by @a16z @speedrun :) I spent the last 14 months in Korea and now I’m back in SF, where it all began. My entire career exists because of social media. From early NeurIPS papers, to working on ranking algorithms, and then building viral playbooks for startups. The thing I kept coming back to is: every company has no choice but to become a media company. To distribute. To get attention. That is the next generation of entrepreneur’s biggest challenge. That’s the next single person unicorn’s moat. Hotbox is built for that next gen entrepreneur. Businesses run entirely on social now. Hotbox is the sales infra for the social economy. more to come. sign up on our waitlist & lmk if you’ll be at the a16z speedrun demo day 🤫

@thenickpattison incredible work man

New brand for Relace. Americana adventure, but in the wild west of code. We reference old science books, 1960s trail maps, and created a loop mark that doubles as a lasso.

@gizakdag Well this is the best thing I’ve seen all day!

I’ve started sending my proposals to clients with custom stamps I created in Midjourney.

@AviSchiffmann Getting “PMF is the greatest entertainment” tattooed on my eyelids

@Chen Too many launch videos these days! So much opportunity in putting the same effort/funding towards sharing people actually using your product, as that seems to be in shorter supply these days… PMF is the greatest entertainment

i find each of these pieces @AviSchiffmann drops to be captivating. many are saying this is a "launch video", which it is not. this is the third of a series which all brings texture to who seem to be real customers. i'm a massive proponent of more videos like this over the cinematic, frenetic motion graphics we see every day. also strange that others are calling this "dystopian" as if this is some made up person in some made up world? sure, it's probably deeply unsettling to a safe tech coastal audience but this makes me feel more than some glossy commercial set with actors roleplaying artifical user behaviors, in artifical scenarios. yesterday i saw a meta x oakley spot where an extreme biker wipes out into a puddle of mud, smiles, and goes "meta, is it okay to eat mud?". like what? at the end of the day, i respect those who have the courage to try something different. documenting real customer stories should also not have to feel different?

@AviSchiffmann 🎯

@jai_mansukhanii @generalmagic_ai y'all really managed to level up everything here. congrats on the launch!
