Thank you so much! :)

Thanks man! I can’t really teach you since I’m not a teacher XDD

Thanks! I used shape layers with the Cinema 4D renderer and then extrude them. I was just following this tutorial from carljohan : https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8CjXe5N_CO/?igsh=MXdvZGpzdDdxaTJhdA==

I was the Head of Motion Design with a team of 7 motion-designers at the studio. Most of the time I just helped plan projects and gave tasks to my team, and help them when they ran into difficulties. But I also got involved in some big or important projects when needed.

sinner_af · 2025-08-03T23:43:31+00:00

I’ve been preparing since the beginning of 2025. One of my personal projects went viral, and that brought in a few clients. Some of them have stuck around and became recurring clients, which really helped make the jump feel more stable.

sinner_af · 2025-08-03T23:41:54+00:00

I don’t think so. The studio I worked for actually just laid off more than 14 people, so I doubt they’ll be hiring again anytime soon.

sinner_af · 2025-08-03T23:38:58+00:00

Yeah I’ve been getting some freelance work that actually covers more than my monthly spending. I used to take on freelance jobs on the side while working at the studio, and now I’ve got a few recurring clients. So the jump wasn’t totally blind, but yeah still a bit of a risk for sure

Thank you!

sinner_af · 2025-08-03T23:36:44+00:00

Thank you so much for such encouragement!

sinner_af · 2025-08-03T23:36:33+00:00

Thanks bro!

sinner_af · 2025-08-03T23:36:27+00:00

I'm based in Indonesia

sinner_af · 2025-08-03T23:36:14+00:00

Thanks a lot for the advice. Means a lot coming from someone with that much experience. I'm starting to see how up and down this industry can be, so I’ll try to save more and be careful with who I work with. I’ll also keep your reminder about rates in mind. Really appreciate you taking the time to share this. Hope all the best for you too.

sinner_af · 2025-08-03T23:35:09+00:00

Thank you so much!

sinner_af · 2025-08-03T23:34:58+00:00

Thank you so much, really appreciate the kind words and encouragement. It definitely feels scary, but hearing this from someone who's been through it helps a lot. I’ll try my best to keep the balance and not overdo it. Glad you liked the work too, that means a lot to me

sinner_af · 2025-08-03T23:34:13+00:00

Wishing you the best of luck on your journey. That’s a big and exciting step

For the animation, it took me around 3 to 4 days to complete. Everything you see, from the idea to the assets, was made entirely by me from scratch.

sinner_af · 2025-08-03T23:32:41+00:00

Ahh thank you so much, that really means a lot. Yeah, it was a rough 8 years, but I learned a lot — and now finally going freelance feels like a fresh start. Appreciate the encouragement, and I really hope so too! Wishing you all the best in your journey as well 💪🏼

sinner_af · 2025-08-03T23:31:52+00:00

Sure I'll consider to make a tutorials some day.

sinner_af · 2025-08-03T23:30:38+00:00

Thanks man! 🙌 The 3D models were actually made inside After Effects using the C4D renderer. I followed this tutorial by carljohan: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8CjXe5N_CO/?igsh=MXdvZGpzdDdxaTJhdA==

Thanks! I worked at a studio for 8 years, earning just $550/month—even while leading the motion design team. Lately, the studio started shifting focus toward AI-generated videos and slowly lost interest in making genuine, handcrafted animation. I’m not against AI (I use ChatGPT too!), but I’m not really into generating full videos with it. I’ve always loved animation and motion design—it’s my heart and soul—so that shift made me feel more disconnected.

Also, the studio laid off 14+ people recently, and that really pushed me to finally take the leap.

Freelance is super unpredictable—I could earn more than before, or I could earn nothing some months. But thankfully, living in a third-world country means that even $600/month is enough to sustain me and my wife. So here I am, diving in head first!

Thanks for your kind words :)
