Not exactly sure what’s going on here, but this is a secret handshake I don’t think I’ve ever learned.

Here’s a sneak peak at a product I’ve been working on. Tidy your AE projects! Sort by format, aspect, resolution, and even custom tags!

I’m a year behind and never saw this. What a creative way to solve a problem. The walk behind still needs some work, but I think it makes the solution way more attainable.

@prolost.bsky.social have you seen this?

I’ve got three proposals out and nothing locked in through the end of the year.

If you need an experienced motion designer, vfx artist, product manager, pipeline architect, or drumming personal chef, let me know!

So who needs tags/metadata in After Effects?

I got myself down a bit of a scripting rabbit hole this weekend, becoming a tad obsessive about the lack of user accessible tags and metadata in After Effects.

I'm doing some research. Show me your project organization structure! How do you keep organized?

Hi Folks! Been a while since I used this introduction for a tutorial...

Coming soon. In my spare time as an unemployed artist, I have delved into the world of script utilities. Inspired by my frustrations with a recent freelance job of needing to make lots of arrowheads, I wrote my own utility. 1000 lines of code later, Quiver is almost ready for release.

Greetings BlueSky! It’s a new day full of new opportunities. Make today count! (Or go back to bed. Who am I to judge?)
