Simple yet powerful explanations. Also the calmness of the animation, smooth voice and calm music makes it even more impactful.

As a newbie to Character Animation, I find this video very helpful as I now know where I made mistakes and how to improve.

Thank you for sharing your work Kristina.
I always wanted and needed to learn AE but never got comfortable with it but for the first time in 15 years I wasn't intimidated by AE after watching your work.
While imitating your video for practice, I learnt and familiarise with the concepts of trim paths, masking, accents and movements.
This feels so much empowering and good and all the credit goes to you for inspiring me and making me work hard and loving it too.
thanks a ton!

[@exeasy]

Thank you SO much for your feedback! It really means a lot to me because it's YOU, the audience and your stories that inspire me to do smth. Knowing that your work has value to someone is a big deal :)

[@undeuxtri]

Thank you for making this video! I usually create motion graphic without planning, and end up feeling burn out. Pre production is equally important as production :)

[@exeasy]

Glad it was helpful! :) Agree, pre-production is key

Wow this it’s really useful thanks🙏

Good day Kristina! Your clips and your style is the most simple but attractive and stylist I've seen! Thank you for your tutorial. And as you can see, I am useing the same Software as you are. And i really do like your style. Is it ok for me to copy something from your style?

[@Von199X]

where do you get that background vid?

[@exeasy]

sorry, what do you mean?

[@theks_gamer]

How do you record voiceovers?

[@exeasy]

I usually don't, most often the clients delegate this part to voice actors.

[@theks_gamer]
