      @@jakejancook I did already, but i would really love to see what the experience that Texturelabs provides would add to the process :) He always amazes me so much, because he really understands the technicalities behind all of his techniques but also has the eye of an designer to know what to use and how to apply it to tie it together. I am really into 2.5D atm and watched a lot of tutorials on that, i know how to technically do it, but to make it immerse and add the last 5%, I feel like @Texturelabs would be the one to pull a tutorial off. Like adding grain and fog on your visual effects composition, just in advanced 😂

    this is great!
    Quick tip: you can precompose the Adjustements layers together and set the precomp to Continuously Rasterize, then use that comp in every precomp you need to apply that effect, this way you can adjust later on the effect globaly. Thanks for the tutorials and Textures, they're great!

I have made some progress in learning the basics of motion graphics/ graphic design on my own for the last two years through online classes. But discovering your page is like the advanced course I needed. I understand the work and time to put together these kinds of videos. I would love to support your channel by any means that I am capable of!

    Wow! The sheer depth and breadth of your Adobe suite knowledge is staggering. I've been using After Effects for years, and this is one of the most creative AE tutorials I've ever seen. This technique looks so much better than most of the write-on effects out there. (And you started with a simple linear wipe, which is just mind-blowing!) The way you incorporated all the textures is awesome and so helpful to learn-especially that halftone trick. There really aren't enough good texturing tutorials for AE. I'd love to see more After Effects tutorials on your channel! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us.

Really great teaching.

    I started with premiere but I quickly went to Photoshop after I had trouble learning or having enough content to even create anything.. Been about 3 months of PS and feel like I'm ready to adventure back into Premiere, and maybe into After Effects?
    Did you find yourself growing and just learning all the applications? (or the major ones) I feel like a lot of the techniques are similar which makes it hard not to want to learn more!
