@Sabovisual Ahh nice Ben’s class was so good.

It's about the SMOL details 😂

@C_Zambetti So awesome. Love the motion, Great work.

Leaning into the Titans blue colors this year mixed with a variety of Tennessee blue skies and imagery that helps convey the essence of Nashville and Tennessee as a whole

@JohnSwinney15 🤧

The idea

Cinema 4D is one of those rare tools that feels more like play than work.

@lachamade @EnfixedYouTube You should do a patreon or something!

@lachamade @EnfixedYouTube Is this on your current book or are you working on a new one?

Playing with toComp() to offset anchor points. It makes the circle layers pack toward the mask center, kinda like the Apple Watch menu inside After Effects.

@GuitaristOnBass @justme_brentg @lachamade His work with masks and expressions is honestly mind boggling.

@justme_brentg @lachamade Not as basic as that. The size is dynamically changing, not merely masked. It's likely expression driven resizing.

toComp() = the correct position value in After Effects, every time.

New logo animation 🔫

@Oddernod I wish I worked where they pushed to elevate me instead of churn out work. I think it makes a huge difference

With all the fearmongering about Ai in motion design, may I humbly suggest that we need to get better as an industry about hiring the right people for the job... on every single job – and developing talent as a team over many jobs? Working right now on an amazing series of spots that we were told was IMPOSSIBLE by several animation service studios that I was able to bring in the EXACT right three people and... ...they're CRUSHING it to the point of the client sending us more work than was originally requested. • Too much warm body hiring • Not enough cultivating and elevating of talent on new opportunities • Few long-term relationships built of both staff and freelancers towards the studio's goals. The artists aren't interchangeable but damn, as an industry we sure like to utilize them as if they were.

@nansen_ai Would love to make yall some animations.

Earlier this year, we partnered with Parcel Lab to create a product marketing spot that delivered their new suite of features in a sleek, engaging video. Some of the shots in this video with overlapping circles and geometry are *so* clean. Enjoy!

@tameroukour_ I work on something different. Or something maybe more or less tactile. Lunch walks help too

what’s your creative process when you’re completely stuck

@BrandonSpahnArt If you ever need an extra motion hand let me know Brandon!

Sharing this to help other freelancers (or those thinking about freelancing) in the sports industry. This is my most simple pricing sheet - just graphics w/ no brand building. Charge what you're comfortable with. If it's more or less than this, that’s okay. Do what works for you

If agency work has taught me anything… It’s how to work fast. Tight timelines, multiple clients, last-minute revisions and somehow… you still need to make it look good. It forces you to be decisive on the creative. It’s not always glamorous, but it’s sharpened my skills.

@jhallman23 Self employed? One man army?

What terms do people use to describe themself beside "freelancer"? Never liked calling myself a freelancer, it feels somehow cheaper and less professional. Maybe because it literally has "free" in the name. Is there a better term we can use? Do we need to invent one?
