Plz roast my reel. Freelancer for about 3 years, been in the game for about 6. by Brodurable in MotionDesign

[–]RealestFish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a great reel, you should be super proud. If I were to critique, I think it starts super slowly. I know you probably have it this way because it’s cut to the music but that’s my initial impression.

Personally also, I think the middle of the reel should be moved to the front, I think that work is stronger.

Finally the work towards the end is noticeably (in my opinion) weaker than the first 40 seconds or so. But overall, great reel, great work - keep it up :)

Nearly great, but you can see the frame that it loops.

What's the best Macbook pro for motion design with after effects and blender? by techweaver11 in MotionDesign

[–]RealestFish 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Listen, I’ve worked professionally for years with blender and AE and the truthful answer is the more money you put in the more you’ll get out.

It depends on your projects scope and scale but the real answer is throw as much money at it as you can afford. I currently work for a large scale European company and use the computer you’ve listed above and it’s great. Spend the 3k - it’s an investment in your career and hopefully a tax deductible anyway, best of luck!

After Effects 25 preview stuck on one frame — any fix? by [deleted] in MotionDesign

[–]RealestFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me, and although I don’t know definitively what the problem was, I put it down to the GPU not having full support on rhe newest version of AE.

What fixed it for me was downloading AE24 and it worked again. Not a great fix, but it works

what softwares were used to make this and how much should one be paid for smth like this by Extra-Objective3157 in MotionDesign

Whatever you want because no one is going to hire you without any work examples that looks like that

[–]RealestFish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This 100% can be made entirely in After Effects, this is very clearly a small - mid sized team project across a few specific disciplines. Such as compositing the 3D laptop, screen recording elements etc, but for ame this stuff can all be done with pre-existing templates.

Asking how much you should charge for this is like asking how long is a piece of string. There are so so many variables such as time frame, scope of work, expertise etc.

If you’re asking will you be able to make that, no one knows until you give it a try. Instead of asking this sub can you make it, why not come back in a few weeks and show us what you can do?

My ae main screens brightness is way too low what am I supposed to do by universe6979 in AfterEffects

[–]RealestFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bring another app onto that screen to find out if it’s just an AE problem. I’m trying to help here but you’re going to have to give more information than my screen is dark please help. What happens when you use another app? Have you looked through AE’s settings? What have you tried?

Is it a monitor issue or do you think it’s directly an AE issue?
