I'm 37 and since COVID, I've had to pivot and make a complete career change (I was running a sports bar). I've decided to enter the realm of video production and expand my talents from photography/videography/drone into a more dynamic venture. I've gotta say your videos have really helped me come ground myself. Really appreciate the informative vids my man. Keep it up! I'm a life time subscriber.

[@BlackMixture]

Best of luck! I'm glad I can help, feel free to reach out on our IG. Welcome to the fam♥️

man you're SMART smart..... mad respect to you for actually giving us the knowledge instead of just showing us what to do

[@BlackMixture]

Thanks Serena! I appreciate the kinds words and happy to help any way I can!

I love the balance you strike with the pacing of your tutorials, they are always slow enough that I can clearly understand what is going on but still edited to be snappy and entertaining!

[@BlackMixture]

Awesome, i love that!!! thanks for the support

[@JCVCrawford]

Seeing this video remind my how blind I was when I started, and how much I improved about the time, work and practice. This medium can be the cliche "easy to learn, hard to master" and I just love it. Hope someday I get closer to the level of the great digital artists.

[@ironmoneyapproves]

As a primarily print and web designer, looking into learning motion graphics finally. And looks like i found a good foundation with your channel! Love that you showed your old stuff too. How far you've progressed. Doesn't make me feel as bad starting out. Good work, good vibes!!

This video honestly is what convinced me to go all in on learning how to do this. The way you take things as technical as graphs and keyframes and relate them to things we see in everyday life is super impressive. It really helps me get it. Great work, man!

This was a dope video, I'm a graphic designer and I've been kinda losing my drive to continue doing graphics but I remember being back in school where we had to do a few motion graphic projects and I actually liked the process of creating those and seeing them work, they weren't the greatest but I still had lots of fun. Idk maybe it's the artist in me that just doesn't feel comfortable being a graphic designer. I'm definitely going to check out your tutorials and try to see how I feel after making a video. Thanks for those awesome tips.

[@BlackMixture]

I feel you!!! Its okay to feel that way. Take some time for yourself and let yourself make things that you love. You'll be back creating in no time! You got this, we gotchu! 🥰🥰🥰 sending u love fam

[@Nanilley_Jordan]

Hi Nate! This video was super great, thanks for sharing! I'm wondering if you could point me in the right direction~ In athe video project I'm working on, there is a patterned wallpaper I'd like to add moving faces to but I have no idea how to start. I've tried making a basic face in illustrator to import into AE but that face wouldn't match the pattern of the wallpaper I envision it extruding from. I've tried drawing simple shapes in AE but my skills are not advanced enough to go much further than that. My next idea is to try masking every individual shape into something 😱😱😱Is this something that I'm just "not ready for" or are there steps I can take to execute my 'face out of wallpaper' idea? Thanks for your help!

Something you should mention while discussing tips for animation is for someone to slightly know the 12 principles of Animation. While it's commonly taught on 2D animation, having an idea of the twelve principles of animation can kinda give you a good perspectivo into animating anything. You sorta mentioned it with the Graph Editor in how everything in real life has a wind up before an action and this can be covered in the 12 principles as well. It's good info if you're serious about animating.
