So awesome of you to give a shout out to the Texturelabs channel... You're a wizard and a great dude! Excellent vid as always!

[@BenMarriott]

You're the wizard my friend!

[@JosBlomsma]

@@BenMarriott @Texturelabs You BOTH are breathtaking!

[@lucasmoreira2487]

These tutorials are like watching magicians explain their tricks: at first you don't have no idea how that's possible, than you start to get it, and after watching it looks so simple that you feel dumb for not getting at first. Thanks man!

[@PiyaliD]

It actually takes in depth knowledge about the subject to make it look simple.

[@sirhumbleproductions4093]

Ben coming in clutch with the snazzy effects

[@BenMarriott]

Snazzy as ever! Thanks for watching :D

[@ECAbrams]

The Rolls-Royce of blurs and the Rolls-Royce of tutorials. Lovely stuff mate.

[@hvntr]

I watched the PS tutorial about this a couple weeks ago and it's nice to see the community's skills and techniques being shared and implemented across the different programs and platforms! Cheers!

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks so much dude! :)

[@ultravioletidea]

@@BenMarriott @ECAbrams Have you gents considered doing a collaboration video?

[@VideoGameAnimationStudy]

As if Ben's just giving away _amazing_ tutorials for free. *FOR FREE!!*

[@jeser]

we need a time-lapse/speedart of you making an animation ( doesn't matter which one ) and commentating over it talking about the ups and downs while working on it !

[@BenMarriott]

Ooooo, that's a great idea. I love it

[@TheDannycoyne]

Good shout.

[@BryanSchultzitis]

When I saw this Photoshop effect from texture labs, I tried to make something like this and it didn't work well. I think your method is better than the one I can up with :)

[@_joncat_]

Hell yeah! Last time you pumped out an effect like this I used it in 3 separate client projects! Can't wait to see who I get to do this kind of stuff for! 👀

[@fishbone-thestoryteller]

I'm mainly self-taught when it comes to motion graphics, and your channel has been one of the biggest parts in my learning journey. It helps me a lot in creating contents for my channel, and for that, I can't thank you enough. Always look forward to your fantastic tutorials! ❤️

[@tomotion]

Class work, Ben! Saw Texturelabs' vid for the PS one, great interpretation of it in AE.

[@aaronpatterson4944]

Right? I got so confused seeing this was a new video when I thought I must have seen this before.

[@davesgud]

This is exactly how a tutorial should be! No fluff just good information. Thank you

[@Maximmaximmaximmaximmaxim]

And yet it still amazes me how simple parametric effects can create so many different styles

[@legends389]

why is your work awesome?

[@BenMarriott]

You're too kind!

@@BenMarriott well that was quick

[@ric.malleo]

Ben this is just mindblowing! Thank you for sharing this tip!

[@Unbreathless]

Ben Literally gives me ideas for music videos with every tutorial. so good!

[@ahmaddanialahmadrizal7351]

Wow!! The "Find Edges" effect really makes a substantial difference. I never knew it existed or what it does.

[@markon1g]

ultra useful thanks Ben

[@kittfarrell]

Ben! Thank you so much for this. I saw that texture labs video last month and I was trying to do it as an animation. I went with the janky way of saving the image after each "action" and importing them as an image sequence in premiere. Your method is so much better I thank you, love your videos.

[@justynaromul3262]

Rolls-royce of blur

[@BenMarriott]

I wouldn't want to blur with anything else

[@UttkarshBhagotra]

He is amazing, I really love you. I was making a poem about watercolors and this is perfect for my poem intro. I WILL LINK YOU IN THE POEM.

@@BenMarriott thx for making AE so easy 😅😅

[@JOHAN_PERJUS]

Best After Effects tutorial channel I’ve encountered. Period.

[@juligvazquez]

I was waiting for this tutorial since I started using Fresco! You're amazing, your techniques and easy solutions are incredible :D

[@chaardewar]

Yeahh... New tut time ..... Excellent effect 👍☺️👍☺️

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks mate :D

[@davidzorob]

That find edges is AMAZING

[@RipBea]

It's videos like these that make me want to be a better and more creative animator!

[@bigogle]

YES M8. Thank you so much for doing this - I was blown away by the original and was just too busy to think about trying it in AE. I think I'd do the find edges slightly differently - possibly by manipulating the blur map instead of the final output. Good job 👍👍

[@BenMarriott]

Oooo, that's a clever idea!

[@stonecole9153]

I cannot wait to use this. Thanks Ben!

[@mattebling4518]

this is absolutely genius. Thank you so much

[@PeppermintGentleman]

TextureLabs love! Clicking on the video, I was hoping it'd be something inspired by their tutorial. So glad to see the love here!

[@azizakhmedov]

fantastic result

[@cicada_circle]

Definitely a useful video, your videos are always very informative. Thank you very much Dude!

[@ben_grubb]

This tutorial is superb! I can see myself using this technique A LOT! Thanks so much, Ben!

[@gillesdillenseger6472]

That's a pretty clever way of using the caméra Blur 👍

[@Eliphosys]

this is sick! i saw the texturelabs one and my mind was blown, thanks for translating it to ae!

[@smaddiem9492]

I absolutely love this. I've made myself a custom Stream Starting & Ending screen using it and adding some drips I recorded of ink running down paper and it looks amazing. Thank you so much for your tutorials! They teach me so much!

[@worthlarose]

Been waiting for a selective blur tutorial, didn't realize until just now that this is it!! THANK YOU BEN!

[@tajender_singh]

Thanks Ben, I'd definitely use it in my project!!

[@babylilacforever]

Great tutorial Ben!! Excited to use this.

[@alexdib3915]

That looks really cool!

[@aminataylor6137]

Omg this is literally so helpful! I would've never thought to do this. Thank you for the tutorial!

[@TPToE]

That is just brilliant! I'm a huge fan of Texturelabs, but the displacement map method creates a certain amount of banding (even in 16 bit), whereas using the lens blur instead bypasses that issue entirely (albeit adding some waiting time to the processing). Liked and subscribed!

[@heavyrain77]

OMG ! you're a real wizard. ✨💕 your tutorial is magnificent as always

S Tier Tutorial! Thanks Ben!

Thank you Ben i just graduated from art school and your tech helps me get paid

[@BenMarriott]

This just made my day! Get that bread

[@jorgefernandezdebobadilla3056]

I just have to say it: You are SIMPLY and without any effects and a whole bunch of complex layers and keyframes, one the greatest comunicators, teachers of animation I have come across. I was looking to make an effect such as this for a commissioned job for a client, I opened up a few tabs on chrome to videos explaining watched a couple and discarded, got to yours, and I without knowing it was you I said: Damn this is really perfect! Looked down saw your name and logo and immediately said: OF COURSE! IT'S BEN! Actually I said it in spanis and spanished your name which made me laugh: PUES CLARO! COMO NO? MI QUERIDO BENITO! ( Which is exactly: Of course, who else!? My dear Ben) Thanx a lot man, you are doing a great Job and truly can't wait to do one of your workshops.

[@BenMarriott]
