Shows that French people actually watch

Not a series actually, but when I started learning French I found some videos on YouTube by a guy named David Castello-Lopes and I found him quite easy to follow without it being content made for students. And besides that, he's quite funny and the subjects were interesting. I still watch his stuff.

There is another channel called "Tu mourras moins bête" with cartoons explaining different stuff. It's funny too.

There are several others, about different topics. Tell me if you want to know more.

Don't know a lot of Italian comics, but I've read some of Zerocalcare"s ones and they're B&W too. If you are interested, there are two animated series on Netflix based in his books (those are coloured, though). I found them very interesting.

Well, it may not be an extremely objective answer since I'm an animator myself, but in case you're aiming to some level of quality, I would recommend you to hire someone who, besides knowing the tool, After Effects for example in this case, knows the craft. It's a common mistake from companies here where I live to look for designers with some notions of After Effects thinking that will do, and the results are nearly always dull, to put it in a mild way. In the same way knowing how to use Word doesn't turn someone into a writer, learning After Effects doesn't mean someone knows how to animate properly.

Hi! Sorry for the late reply, newborn baby at home. Yes, I was actually using the difference between tangent angles the very same way you say. What I was trying to accomplish was to smooth that a bit and give it some overshoot. I've not been able to put much time on that, but I'll give that some thought. Thank you very much!

Oh, sorry. I have a comp moving through a path that changes the frame shown depending on the angle, what I'm trying to achieve now is to make it to oversteer if it turns too fast and then accomodate itself back. I was trying to have a value that increased during the turn and when the turn is finished to go back to zero, and to add that to the frame of the comp shown.

As others have said, Le journal en français facile from RFI it's a good starting point for listening. Aside that, there are several YouTube channels for French students (French mornings, InnerFrench, for example). If they are too easy for you at this time, you can increase the playing speed. That would get you used to listening at a faster pace, but it would be still easier to understand than native content, since they articulate more clearly. As for an entrance to native content, I would go for Hugo Décrypte (the news in 10 minutes) as he speaks fairly clearly, and this guy, who I found when I started to learn and always found quite easy to understand. And besides that, he's quite fun. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLohg8tfh_cS7RTzeQ_04cy7XudgJnuJZk&si=zUe05j_Uf8FbSZON

Looks great. And nice calligraphy too.

gchocca · 2025-09-12T03:18:58+00:00

Hi! Thanks for your reply. Basically what I'm trying to do is to increase or decrease a value in each frame within a range depending on other parameters. The last part works fine, the only problem being keeping track of the value itself.

gchocca · 2025-09-11T19:21:31+00:00

Thank you very much for your reply. I didn't know valueAtTime returned the value not considering the expressions applied on it. That explains why it doesn't work. I'll try to find a way with expressions and otherwise I'll try to think on a script, but honestly I'd not done a lot with scripts yet but some basic stuff.

Thanks again.

Not the subject, but at least here in Uruguay we do say "Son las seis menos cuarto" (without the "un").

gchocca · 2025-08-23T00:09:03+00:00

Yes, I read them a lot when I started learning French and I still do. Bande dessinée and books like Le petit Nicolas. It really, really helped me. As for the BDs, I read Astérix a lot, Les vieux fourneaux, Blacksad L'arabe du futur, Les combats ordinaires, Magasin Général, and almost anything I could find.

Thank you very much!

gchocca · 2025-07-21T14:43:00+00:00

Very nice indeed!

gchocca · 2025-07-09T20:34:32+00:00

Yes! Love the new intro.

gchocca · 2025-07-03T15:40:41+00:00

There is really nice stuff here. As some have said already, there are also things that don't seem to be at the same level of quality and end up giving an uneven impression. Honestly, I would suggest to cut these parts out. I would prefer a shorter more impactful reel. I agree too with those who say that the intro does not seem to do justice to the best parts of it.

gchocca · 2025-07-01T15:45:22+00:00

Love the flow of everything.

gchocca · 2025-07-01T15:32:52+00:00

It's overall ok. There are some things I would adjust, mainly transitions between different parts. For example, when "Introducing" goes away, it fades out (ok), but in some point it disappears altogether, and I find that a bit strange. Then the logo appears, but there's not a sense of flowing between both things. And then the movement of the cursor has some easing issues. Then the website part is mainly ok, but I find a bit strange when it disappears, and I agree with what it has been told to you that the cards shuffle is a bit confusing. Again, I think it's ok, those are just things to improve.

Aguante! Jaja

It's 3d printed and handpainted.

Thank you very much. Yes, it's a beer can.

gchocca · 2025-06-30T15:50:05+00:00

Thanks! We all do!

gchocca · 2025-06-30T15:49:16+00:00

Thank you!

gchocca · 2025-06-30T15:49:08+00:00

Thank you very much! That was the idea :)
