Time to update the @AdobeAE showreel... it's been 6 years. Mostly compositing and visual fx. #aftereffects #vfx vimeo.com/263817480
The latest video on @AdobeAE #aftereffects color management looks at how to deal with Corporate Branding Colors in an ACES project. As ACES becomes more accepted in corporate video production, this will become increasingly relevant.

Many @AdobeAE #aftereffects users work with brand colours, and worry about those colours changing or looking wrong. In this video, I look at why this happens and how to fix it. Every AE user should watch this! #motiondesign #motionGraphics

Do you know 3D? Do you know how to test software? We have an opening for a QE/QA on the AE team. careers.adobe.com/us/en/job/…

Rest in peace my friend. Legendary Visual Designer Mark Coleran. He made film-UI (FUI) an art form worth caring about.
HDR formats can be confusing, so I try and de-mystify the different terms here: provideocoalition.com/color-… Although it's part 21 in a series, it's also a great intro for any @AdobeAE #aftereffects #motiondesign #VFX starting out with High Dynamic Range and #colormanagement

💡 Fast way to create Advanced 3D shadow catchers in After Effects Beta: use the 3D Camera Tracker!
Select track points, right-click to add catcher/camera/light. Switch the light type to Environment and drop in your model. I like to color-pick a shadow color from the video, too.
Has anyone ever written a song about @AdobeAE #aftereffects? Playing around with #SunoAI I thought I'd see what it could do. I present to you "Frames of Illusion"...
