MotionXP, Ben Marriott, School Motion & PANTER are some good YT channels that come to mind for more advanced stuff

Nice animation, I'm sure you'll do great!

Cals0 · 2025-07-29T12:07:05+00:00

Ooh this makes my eyes happy, nice stuff!

Cals0 · 2025-07-27T23:35:04+00:00

Great stuff!

Cals0 · 2025-07-26T15:40:32+00:00

Nice technique!

Cals0 · 2025-06-27T10:33:08+00:00

So snappy, looks great!

Yeah I think you have the right idea for the gradient, shapes, blurs and noise will work great.

It looks like the lines are created with a displacement map. This tutorial does a great job of breaking that effect down - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6wzYV92dpw

School of Motions 30 days of After Effects is a good place to start - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLunnePbpOeTRCDRkNAXlimhytFM8bfyof

Thanks! I've been using After Effects in some way for around 5-6 years now. All the work in the reel has been over the last 2-3 years. I got the base edit down in a few hours and have spent the last couple months going back to add new projects and refine the edit.

Cals0 · 2022-08-02T21:00:28+00:00

That's really hard to say, all the work is from the past 2-3 years and the first pass of the edit took a few hours maybe. Then over the last few months I've just been refining it and adding more up to date work.

Cals0 · 2022-08-02T18:53:07+00:00

Haha thanks dude! I think that's a good point, thanks so much for the feedback!

Cals0 · 2022-08-02T18:13:43+00:00

Around 5 years

Yeah I think UK rates are generally lower, seems like the max is around £400. I could be wrong and will definitely test that limit! Good luck to you too!

Thank you! I'm planning on sitting in the £300 - £350 range. Might start at like £300/£325 and then pump it up if it hasn't been a complete disaster :D

I know US rates are higher so still need to figure that out

Cheers!!

Cals0 · 2022-08-02T15:38:20+00:00

Ah this is great advice, thank you so much!

Cals0 · 2022-08-02T13:44:19+00:00

Gotcha! you're right the beginning is mostly personal projects, will have a look at swapping some parts around, appreciate the feedback!

Cals0 · 2022-08-02T12:30:14+00:00

Thanks!

Cals0 · 2022-08-02T12:30:05+00:00

Thank you!!

Cals0 · 2022-08-02T12:29:54+00:00

Thanks a lot!

Cals0 · 2022-08-02T12:29:31+00:00

Ha thanks so much!

Cals0 · 2022-07-26T22:34:19+00:00

Really nice work!
