I can totally understand that.

Anyways, just know what we appreciated your craft before too. You have taught so much to so many of us.

Looking forward to seeing the pieces you are working on! Love woodworking too, though my projects don't look nearly as polished as yours πŸ˜…

A career Irish Good-bye is about the best description lol.

I thought carpentry was just a hobby you were really into. Now it makes sense the disappearance from the mograph scene.

Your work looks stunning btw! So I know it'll be a success πŸ™Œ All the best and thank you for the teachings.

The most important skill I developed as a digital artist is how to build my projects in a way that I can (nearly) painlessly update EVERYTHING about it, and fast.

A major design shift across the board for the 3rd time in 6 weeks you say? Give me 20 minutes.

Lol.. it's both maddening and reassuring at the same time.

Whenever you feel threatened by technology just remember that my vacuum can't find its way out of the bathroom. Not once. Not ever. We'll be fine.

Wait! When did we get the ability to save posts here?
I've been away too long, haven't notice it.
Yay!

Custom pinning only needed for organization now.

Fellow creatives... how do you juggle the internal struggle of "don't do free work because that's a rabbit hole path" , but at the same time "these are friends that really could use some help and I really want to see them succeed" ?

Alrighty... crazy busy weeks of hell at work are over. Back to our usual programming. Starting off with rest, because you know, burnout is a real thing.

Hey Ryan, thanks for sharing! And thank you for making Keys & Curves real. Like real stuff that happens to us and our industry. The situation sucks, honestly the whole world situation sucks rn. But to answer your questions: yes, a lot of us are spooked and asking what will happen. I'll tag along...

Well then... good to know I jinxed myself... 😩

Maybe get it rendered and hold on to the files next time lol

usiest time of the year at work. You know there'll be long days. You pull a couple long ones on your terms, render 120+ screens to get ahead. Finish templatizing the project for another 325.

200GB packaged and delivered 9 days ahead!

They call: 85% of the in-venue screens are changing.

I'm fine πŸ«₯

Dang... it fills the 100GB I set for it so quick I was thought I was doing something wrong.

Oh well! Good to know! Thanks

Motion Design folks: is it just me? Or does anyone else have to empty their memory and cache from After Effects several times a day? Honestly, some of my larger - full stadium takeovers, might have to even be a couple of times per hour.

If it's just me, what am I doing that is causing this? πŸ€”

I need to get in a habit like that. I feel like I can work so much better too... I can actually see my gradients now πŸ˜…

Just a reminder to go clean your screen. And your keyboard while you're at it.

Yes, it feels like a brand new computer, doesn't it?

You're welcome.

Yep! I double checked and the editor I was sending this to was complaining it was too cumbersome to nail the timing and such when you have to dive into another sequence to adjust the replacement media in the mogrt.

The workaround: add a PP adj layer and it will preserve the transparency!
