It is very difficult to make videos that are entertaining, educational, while also promoting yourself at the same time while being genuine. Your videos are not only a master class in animation, but also for how to run a good and honest RU-vid account. Thanks Ben!

@BenMarriott Год назад

This really warmed my heart, thank you.

@simoneblax Год назад

This comment is the exact feeling I have when watching Ben's videos. He's so inspirational 🔥

@jessefehrcreates Год назад

That sharpen technique is a game changer! It really cleans up my projects when I'm using different elements that don't naturally blend. You're a legend!

@keroboanimation Год назад

Loving the Radial Fast Blur effect, I never think about combining effects like that but it's so helpful 🤩

@MichalToczek Год назад

That trick at 5:10 might be honestly my favorite thing I've seen this year from you. So simple but so creative!

@BenMarriott Год назад

Glad you like that one! I was doing a projects of a light going through a maze from the top down and came so close to doing the shadows manually.

@AmbroseReed Год назад

@@BenMarriott I used that piece in a recent project to create sunbeams and shadows in clouds! No idea how I would have done it otherwise lol

@jirehla-ab1671 Год назад

does School of Motion have an email?

@ArthurDoyleLazerhorse Год назад

I use blur / sharpen exactly the same way all the time. I've never seen anyone else talk about using it the like that until now! Such a useful trick, and you do great job explaining why it works so well. All your videos are great!

One of the most important pieces of wisdom to walk away with from this tutorial. "sometimes it's nice to step away from it all for a bit and remind yourself that your value is not confined to the work you produce, your productivity, or whether what you're doing makes sense to anyone."

@GrantMFletcher Год назад

@mgrecord9814 Год назад

Ben i love you

@CodyNitcher Год назад

Fantastic as always Ben, your tutorials help a ton. I've really been enjoying the music you've been using in your recent videos, what kind of music "genre" is that and/or where are you getting these synth beds?

@BenMarriott Год назад

Ok, your comment made my day. For the past year or so I normally use 80s Synthwave tracks, but in some of the more recent ones I've been using more Ambient style tracks. Ambient, Chillwave, Synthwave, Retrowave are the kind of genre titles that pop up, but they're all pretty loose, and even the folk that make the music & playlists can't seem to agree on a standard definition. I really love peppy rhythmic ambient synth music, that's not so droney and dour. But there's not a lot of that on stock music libraries, so for the past few months, I've been learning to make my own. This is the first video where I made all the music. The main track here is a cover of Blur's Girls & Boys because I couldn't resist another blur reference. My goal was to slip a track in without anyone noticing, so your comment left me smiling ear to ear.

@CodyNitcher Год назад

@@BenMarriott okay, now THAT wasn’t the response I was expecting. What??! Wow, I’m super impressed at your ability to make your own custom music beds. So awesome! I really liked the one you picked for your ‘15 After Effects Tricks Most Pros Don’t Know’ video. Keep it up 👏🏻👏🏻
