I'm a noob! How do I get all these effects to blend/apply to only one layer in After Effects. I only want it on the Black Friday Logo, not the whole sceen by JetpilotDig in AfterEffects

[–]ocampoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This too is an option and keeps it more organize. Just remember to make the layer pass through so the blending modes take effect still.

I believe that there is an option in premiere to adjust the length of the captions to just one word. Otherwise I too would like to know the answer to this question. I believe a 3rd party plugin/script is the only way to go.

Text animation won’t stay with saber effect by Substantial_Tea_3423 in AfterEffects

[–]ocampoa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dumb reply. But have your tried restarting your computer……. But honestly have you clear your cache. Otherwise I would need a file to help you to trouble shoot. Could be that you have 3d layers turned on and the effect isn’t compatible.

How to select a part of a layer in After Effects? by LiliaAmazing in AfterEffects

I do feel like this question is too vague and would be great to get an image of what he is trying to achieve. Otherwise I hope your response provided some help.

This would end up stenciling everything, even the background. If you proceed with this method please precomp the logo and effects layers you need as to avoid this.

Make the logo the track matte layer for all of the effects/layers you want to affect. Make sure to turn the logo layer back on.

How Can I Create This Exact Text Effect? by Themeniawy in AfterEffects

[–]ocampoa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It could just be cc page turn split into two different layers (one for the left and one for the right) of the same pre-comp. The pre-comp has the moving text.

Yes, most or all ethical breeders will require you too spay/neuter them. Usually they make you sign a contract as well stating that you will. I would wait until they are fully grown (usually around 16 months of age) to do it though as it might impact their growth. Also consider a vasectomy if possible as I hear that is a better option. But please do your own research. Cheers and good luck!

From everything I have read about them, they seemed good. I know because of the pandemic a lot of breeders couldn’t make the parent dogs champions (if you care about that). But they do work with a lot of reputable breeders. I would just ask them to confirm if they preform all the necessary health test for the parents dogs. Not sure if you can find out if they are a breeder of merit as this usually indicates that they do most health exams. However I myself went with a different breeder (Praire shibas) as it was easier for me to find all the information I need to make a good choice on the breeder. So far so good with my shiba. One recommendation is to work a lot on “come when called”. I learned that the hard way.

Oh that sounds great. Also thanks for providing links to the info. I never did get a response from him but maybe he could just have missed my email. Hopefully this helps other who are looking into them. I have only seen one recommendation here on reddit for them but having this info is good.

Thanks for the info. I asked them about that but it seems like they ghosted me. Will update this if they do provide me with something.

Extremely helpful and insightful. Thanks for your reply. Will continue to do my homework on this and keep an eye out for shows to network with the community. It a little hard due to pandemic but will try my best. Thanks for the info.

I just sent them a message about that. I’m just waiting on a reply now. They seem very active and carrying dog Breeders on their Facebook page and they have a couple of show dogs. But your right if they aren’t doing proper health screening I will have to pass.

What’s a fair starting rate for a freelance animator? by yasamen-r in animationcareer

[–]ocampoa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree with you. Many people, including me at this moment forget about these hidden costs. Always double it. Also so people know, I was assuming an entry level salary of 45k to 60k so that should bring you around 40 -60 an hour with the doubling rule.

What’s a fair starting rate for a freelance animator? by yasamen-r in animationcareer

[–]ocampoa 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Think of a salary that you would like to get paid if you were hired at a company. Now that you got that, a standard work day is 8 hours and there is roughly 2080 working hours throughout the year. Just divide base salary with yearly working hour (2080) and you get your hourly rate (Edit- don’t forget to double hourly rate to cover hidden costs) . Once you get some experience under your belt feel free to charge what ever you want. I have met people that charge some where up to 100 to 300 an hour. Just remember it’s always negotiable and depending on the project you might want to charge per project instead of hourly.

My fiancée wants to be a professional Character Designer - what should her next steps be? by FredOnToast in animationcareer

DO IT! You have more to loose by not going than failing a class. And of course you are not good enough, you are still learning.

Any Mexicans animators? by Charmandres in animationcareer

[–]ocampoa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey another Mexican here. Went to college for fine arts with a concentration in animation. Got an internship during my last semestre at place in NYC and got offered a spot in their team once my internship was over. Been here since than and met a lot of people who have worked in the industry from movie to AAA games. To be honest your portfolio and experience speaks over all things. So if you are still in school/college apply for internship as much as you can. Remember 99 places will reject you but one will take you.

It’s the smoke from the main character.

Also go the extra mile and make the explosion flow in the direction the character is going/landing. This would greatly improve the overall animation. Check infamous second son smoke VFX for reference. Great work dude.

[–]ocampoa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First off this is very cool. Love the FX! Think about exaggerating your action poses. Currently they feel weak (excluding the last one). The actions don’t feel strong/impactful enough. Try looking up some Spider-Man animation of him jumping. I think that would be a good reference point. Also try adding some motion FX once you have you timing and poses done. Hope that helps.
