@paramountplus.com How is it your interface on LG TVs is so bad compared to others? I'm on fiber and images still load at a snail's pace. There's a ridiculous delay between clicking and the menus responding. And WHY does the playhead stay visible for SO LONG when a show resumes after commercial?!?

Can we just put a moratorium on the record scratch sound effect? It's far past overused at this point, not to mention there's a fair few generations of people too young to get the gag anyway.

Can we PLEASE stop it with the "20 weird facts about" videos?!? I'm sick of these low effort videos with the most click-baity yellow-arrow-pointing-to-nothing-related thumbnails growing like mold over my feed.

Don't mind me, just being a responsible freelancer and patching the error in a precomp that cascaded down to 13 deliverables at 2 in the morning. I miss having a render farm.

This started as a self-challenge to create a DNA helix procedurally in Blender. I ended up with this abomination.

I loves me some Element 3D, but sometimes it's just not an option, so I created this templated 3D phone animation for a gig that had the flexibility of changing the screen content, phone UI and overall motion using AE's native 3D capabilities. Modeled a generic phone in Blender and got to it.

This started as a static image entry to a contest on r/Blender 6 years ago. I decided to revisit, and animate the whole thing, adding particles, character rigs and working in a linear color space for the first time.

26 yrs ago, I recorded myself with a pool cue around in my yard, and roto'd in the FX, frame by frame. Today, I used AI to uprez, AE to color correct & recreate the FX & Blender for the 3D (Model by: Eddie Roach - tinyurl.com/trainingremote).

Revisiting an old for-me project for learning #blender3d Geometry Nodes, inspired by my favorite movies. I built a series of hallway sections and used them as randomly applied instances in a straight line. I'd like to incorporate T junctions for more variety and ultimately animation the lighting.

Another day, another attempt to take advantage of my unemployment status. Scammers posting on otherwise legitimate sites pose as recruiters promising a job with good pay and benefits only to want to interview by text chat only or needing a SSN before proceeding. Disgusting dregs.

#Dobly 's Audio Visual Pathways are unique #mograph challenges with stunning results. This piece for #Disney 's live action theatrical Aladdin uses dozens of layers to achieve a walking parallax and is my first foray using Superluminal's Stardust particle plugin.

One of the most ambitious projects I've worked on, #Marvel 's theatrical release of Thor Ragnarok. This massive digital display at the now closed Arclight Sherman Oaks, took days to render and looked amazing in person.

By no means am I giving up motion graphics, but I am trying something new and it's about as hobbled together as it gets.

Another piece for #Disney 's A Wrinkle In Time, this time in partnership with HP. Plenty of roto work, some puppet warping and a hefty dose of #RedGiant 's Tao.

For the theatrical release of A Wrinkle In Time, I was challenged to recreate the flowing 'waves' of spacetime scene throughout the film. #RedGiant 's Tao proved the perfect tool for the job, accompanied by my fav, Fractal Noise.

This is what I would consider among the first professional #mograph pieces I created. It's nothing overly complicated - some copy, shape layers and a basic particle system, but it clearly conveys the brand name and what it's about in less than 5 seconds.

For the home video launch of #ReadyPlayerOne, I was tasked in helping to create the retro-synth-wave aesthetic of the movie for social ads. Old standbys like CCBallAction and Fractal Noise were used with more modern effects like #Element3D and #OpticalFlares.
