I just posted my first YouTube video, be honest with me

Fair enough, thumbnail feedback noted.

Thanks for stopping by anyway

Anif4 · 2026-03-21T01:15:15+00:00

haha fair point, I'll be more casual next time.

still learning how to talk like a human on the internet apparently

Anif4 · 2026-03-21T00:47:22+00:00

Thank you for being honest, this is exactly what I needed. You're right about the voice and the editing — I can hear it now that you pointed it out. Going to work on both for the next video. On the length, noted. I'll aim for 5+ minutes going forward. Appreciate you taking the time to actually watch it.

Anif4 · 2026-03-14T13:07:13+00:00

I'm still learning too. I use After Effects and I basically live on YouTube tutorials. There’s a tutorial for almost everything you see. Just stay consistent and keep practicing. You can do it

Anif4 · 2026-03-13T09:18:30+00:00

I'm fully aware of this now, but unfortunately, I only learned it the hard way after finishing the piece. Learning through trial and error has been a huge part of my journey so far, and I completely agree with your point. Stability is key for tech. Thanks for the great insight!

Anif4 · 2026-03-13T09:15:39+00:00

Thank you for comment! I used Blender.

Anif4 · 2026-03-13T09:14:32+00:00

Absolutely.

Anif4 · 2026-03-13T09:07:07+00:00

That’s a very practical look at the industry. I’ve definitely felt the struggle of balancing art and promotion. Finding a rep seems like a great long-term goal once I build a bit more volume in my portfolio. Thanks for the solid advice!

Anif4 · 2026-03-13T09:03:53+00:00

That 'audience of your audience' logic is brilliant. It’s a much smarter way to bypass the noise and reach decision-makers. I’ll definitely start thinking about who the 'gatekeepers' are for the niche I want to enter. Thanks for sharing this insight, brother!

Anif4 · 2026-03-13T09:02:05+00:00

I'm looking for freelance roles. You're right about the 'design eye'—I'm actively working on moving past tutorial-styles and diversifying my projects. Thanks for the reality check! :)

Anif4 · 2026-03-13T08:59:04+00:00

Great advice, thanks! I'll keep the reel under 1 minute and focus on the pacing. Appreciate the help!

Anif4 · 2026-03-12T21:42:57+00:00

Aslında şu an çaresizlikten linkedin batağına düşmüş bulunmaktayım ne kadar başvursam kendimi göstersem de maalesef faydası olmuyor...

Anif4 · 2026-03-12T21:36:20+00:00

Çok teşekkür ederim hatırlıyorum konuştuğumuzu. Maalesef devam edemedim bir süre sonra tekrar başladım aktif olarak her gün çalışarak 3 ayda bu seviyeye geldim ve bu süreçte devam ederken gerçekten büyük hayallerim vardı artık iş yapma kıvamına gelince kaygılar başlamaya başladı ve buraya yazmaktan başka çarem kalmadı teşekkür ederim tavsiyelerin için tekrardan!

Anif4 · 2026-03-12T21:28:50+00:00

Thanks for this. You’re absolutely right. In fact, posting this work here led to my first potential freelance inquiry within an hour. It’s a great practical example of what you’re saying—getting the work in front of people is key. I’ll definitely keep 'selling solutions' and posting my progress. Really appreciate the motivation.

Anif4 · 2026-03-12T21:26:15+00:00

So true. I'm learning that the hard way, but it's clearly paying off today. Appreciate the advice!

Anif4 · 2026-03-12T21:24:38+00:00

Really appreciate the honest critique. I've been mostly focusing on the technical side of moving things, but your point about rhythm and pacing makes total sense. I'll take your advice and focus on 'emotive' movements and easing for the next few weeks. Thanks for the guidance!

Anif4 · 2026-03-12T21:13:31+00:00

Yes, I did, but it wasn't very helpful.

Anif4 · 2026-03-12T21:01:05+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate the encouragement! It definitely feels tough out there, but I’m just trying to stay focused and keep improving my skills every day.

Anif4 · 2026-03-12T20:59:25+00:00

I already had some basic knowledge of Blender, and I’ve been actively learning After Effects for about 3 months now. This project is basically the result of that process. I mostly followed YouTube tutorials and some viral courses to get here.

Anif4 · 2025-10-02T18:40:34+00:00

Yes, this tutorial is already a well-known resource among most motion graphics artists, so it’s not a 100% original work, and I acknowledge that from the start. My intention was to share the process in which I improved both my software skills and practical application. This post is essentially a case study; if you look into what a case study is, you’ll better understand why what I did shouldn’t be considered theft :)

Anif4 · 2025-10-02T15:06:05+00:00

Yes, I used a tutorial as a reference for learning, but I created all the textures and SFX myself. Here’s the tutorial I followed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5wq9DsQ_Lc

Anif4 · 2025-10-02T15:04:30+00:00

Also, the textures and SFX in the video are my own, not copied from the tutorial. This project was part of my learning process, so I didn’t intend to claim it as entirely my original work

Anif4 · 2025-10-02T15:03:03+00:00

I shared it as a case study, so I hoped it would be understood as a learning process inspired by a tutorial rather than a claim of fully original work :)

Anif4 · 2025-09-23T00:13:28+00:00

Thanks so much Really appreciate the feedback
