He has time to do vfx and hit the gym like that ? incredible.
+jman add Got to do something while rendering :)
+BayareaJay SO TRUE!! haha
+jman add Here is how he did it: - Get Buff! With After Effects - vfxbro.com/buff/ ;-D
jman add You have the time to do everything u desire. Just depends on your will powed
Gym only takes an hour out of your day. This isn't far fetched to believe.
One thing I'll tell you guys... you will never know EVERYTHING when it comes to VFX... (after effects is just a tiny fraction) there are new boundaries constantly being formed and the industry is always advancing so you will need to keep up with it if you want to be relevant. I've been in the computer graphics field for 18 years now but I'm still learning new methods/tools/techniques... it never stops so u gotta love what you do ;)
Been learning for three years and I know a lot but barely anything at the same time it's awesome
I'm scared so I'll never know? how can I at least be updated in the latest developments?
***** Well you can read sites like fxguide dot com etc... Read the "what's new" info on new releases of 3D apps etc.. Nobody is gonna do it for you :p If you love what you do then you should do all this automatically..
The NerdVerse I'm mostly still figuring out how to do things better and faster..
Advection357 I Have used after effects alot but am still learning new and better ways as they comeout and I'm starting to learn cgi and modelling in Maya etc
You really doing a great job Aaron....
Thanks for the learning tips..
I work at a VFX studio up here in Portland Oregon working on NBC's Grimm and we use After Effects for all of our compositing. We talked about upgrading to nuke but could not justify the massive cost doing so would take. Loved the video Aaron. Gives kids out there a much better grasp on all the aspects of the industry and a good way to approach entering it.
why don't you try black magic fusion? it's free
The Chick's Life - RV Travel how would I go about getting vfx
The Chick's Life - RV Travel please help me with my job
Just now seeing this video and this comment - no kidding! I'm an actor in Portland! You didn't work with a Lisa on the show, did you? She did some work on Grimm but I think she might've just worked as an extra... she works primarily in editing now but mentions AE a lot. Just did a short film with her last weekend. Go Portland!
i think this guy put some visual effects on himself and couldn't turn them off
now he look buff as fcuk forever
i gotta watch more of these king film school vids!!! they're great and im kind of getting into stop motion film making
Great Resource! This video is one of the reasons I started my channel.
Hopefully these tips will guide me throughout my years in school for this course next year. I somewhat got into Visual Effects not knowing what they do exception to 3D and maybe their motions to the video to make it look real. I hope this will really help me, just thank you so much in advance!
His biceps are obviously CGI
Aaron, Thank you very much for your tips and first orientation for beginners on VFX/motion graphics like myself. I got here searching for tutorials and there you were: The same guy who made funny cheesy videos with two rival cats that my little girl loves so much to watch over and over. What a nice surprise and I'm glad that you have made a professional career out of this.
Yes!! Currently I'm in my foundation year and have yet to declare my major :> so far debating between illustration and VFX
Love stuff like this
Muito bom! Ótima série de vídeos!
Thanks Aaron. Good inspiration.
this is it, this was the video i needed. thanks my guy. will start diving into your stuff.
hi since your comment is a year old. i thinking you learn alot in VFX already. can you give us an update on your work?
Its a great video. I am also self taught visual fx artist, and you as intimidating as the field seems, you can learn everything yourself if you are motivated enough. I started as 3D artist and transitioned into visual fx so I can do 3D integration and build scenes that are just don't exists in the real world. Even Studio programs are offered to students for free or discounted prices cause we are not all made of cash especially when were learning. Great intro video.
This guy inspires me so much! Wish i had a chance to work with him. If i could only watch and learn, no money would pay such experience.
Thank you.The most helpful video ever
fantastiche queste illustrazioni
very interesting tutorial for vfx. Thank you! :)
VFX bro got me started on VFX! Thats why im in this industry today. Doing mostly film for corporates and vfx in my own time. Would love to see a "How to plan a big VFX shot". From visualizing to on set and finally the post production work.
Thank you for this video :) Wanna get into this world of vfx.. applying for school this autumn :)
Hey thanks so much man, I kinda lost hope in this Industry, this industry being so confusing but your video did help me. Thanks so much once again.
Man your such a good dude. appreciate the value
I'm still very new to this tho I study a little bit about film but we did not really went into editing, i'll spend my vacant hours watching you videos and hopefully I'd have more knowledge as well. Tysm!
I remember that time square shot you made years ago i tried to do something similiar, that was a great vid too
i luv your works......
thaks you vfx bro I learn a lot watching your video and Zachking video
your explanation is really very nice
Thanks for this man
Thank you
You helped me a Lot. :)
Very Helpful. Thanks.
Good video bro any good vfx schools you recommend?
You're really awesome man! Really!
This was really helpful
Very nice and very professional presentation! Well done, thumbs up. I found this a neat inspirational push for me to really try After Effects out. As i have a ton of projects in my mind's eye to try and do sometime in the near future!
you are the best I understand everything you said making a 100% sense thanks for making this video it has helped me realize my future goals to achieve let's hope and pray that I do achieve them thanks again keep up the good work 😇✓
This video explains me down to a tee... Im only 16 at the moment but I'm so passionate to make a career for myself in this industry!
wonderful bro,
really awesome Aaron, shared everywhere. subscribed to the new channel btw : )
Hi! Great video! I just cant find the link for the beginners pdf anywhere on your website. Did anyone find it?
tHANKS FOR THAT INFO how can we get more one of one
Awesome video man (y)
thankyou brother
Thanks bro 👊🏻
and also if you want to get into editing, please do not buy a £1000 mac.
you can build a desktop for the same price with far more superior specs that will run the editing program better and render videos faster.
I work with Cinema4D, After Effects, Premier Pro and so on. Enjoyed the video
Thanks. I'll go watch a lot of tutorials now.
That was inspiring!
Thank You.
This is amazing. How long have you been doing this for?
Well done.
please can you create a tutorial how you created the time square effect putting your self in it I would love to see that
Hi, I just completed a physics degree. I would like to transition into the visual effects industry but I'm pretty confused as to which route should I take, if I should go and do a graduate certificate course in a college, do short courses in companies that offers them, or just try to learn on my own and make a portfolio from there?
I've started making 3D models with Maya. Any advice on what should I do next? My aim is to eventually be a FX technical director.
Does anyone know where to go to download there free footage to practice with plz?
This guy is so talented.
This helped a lot
woooo incredible
Awesome
hello aaron! im planning to buy a macbook pro 15 inch 2017 for animation and vfx what do you suggest is it fine or can you suggest me a suitable laptop
This video had been uploaded long time ago, but now what would u say about blender 2.8
Thanks
Where did you get that footage of the kid sailing and then the storm part
Your Beginner's guide to VFX is very helpful. Thanks for that :) Good luck with your career, we will see each other soon, somewhere in near future :)
NICE VIDEO GOOD INFOMATION
HEY BRO , REALLY NICE PRESENTATION AND YOUR BICEPS LOOKS AWESOME, SUBSCRIBED YOUR CHANNEL . WAITING FOR MORE GOOD CONTENT.
After effects includes the option to animate CGI?
You are genius Sir
Hi King Film School...........which software is more performant : Adobe After Effects or Autodesk Smoke ?????
You can get a non commercial license version of Nuke for free.
how?
You can get Blender free. Forever. Commercial or Non-commercial.
I like ur video sir....
bro i can you say me about cgi visual effact motion graphics green screen i want to learn about this.
Hey I want to help my country to improve their effects cause here in my country their graphics is far behind compare to another country! Which effects I need to learn and anyway I don't have much know about the effects right now but I really wanted to learn. Cheers mate!
good info...but in that i am legend scene after you projected the images in c4d...did you track that same scene in ae? that would be the only way to track yourself in right? or did you track the camera the same way you animated the 3d camera in c4d? i don’t quite understand that technique..please explain thanx bro
He bluescreened his walking video and projected that on a flat plane in C4D the same way he did the buildings (basically used a video sequence as a texture on a flat 3D object.. as opposed to a single image for the buildings) After that he just animated the 3D camera moving up in C4D... no tracking involved. He may have possibly made the flat plane of his video projection move forward towards the buildings in C4D as well and eyeballed the distance to match it with the distance traveled in the video projection images... he left some steps out but that's my best guess at breaking it down.
Ok, How much ram is really recommended for these types of visual effects, especially using Maya? I would have something pop up about the ram and how slow it will get when clicking to render anything?
hey what is the software, is zack king using in his videos........
nice sir
what editing software is that?
Cool
thanks for this. I will start my career in motion graphics now.
Jay Bacay how’s it going ?
i think he's dead or he failed
good stuff...i think it is with adding that beginners should try working with open source programs to start ...it's a good testing ground and frankly most kids won't have the means to afford the commercial software or the hardware needed to run em...the key requirement for this work is PATIENCE..if a kid cannot discipline themselves with OS..then buying is an utter waste of cash...
please tell app you are using for VFX
I need more advice and I am using after effect

I am a compositor working in Vancouver, BC, if anyone in the area has any questions or advice about the industry i'd be happy to help. I know i had so many questions starting out, joining the comp team at a major studio was very intimidating as a junior, but most people quickly find out how fun it can be working in vfx
Hi ^_^, vfx is my dream and in order to pursue it I'm currently studying Animation, but I'm struggling. Did you start as an animator as well?
Hi, i want to jump in vfx designing and animation but unsure about the job market. what's the salary and i'll be studying vfx in Vancouver too
@alexsandar hardi...would you plz help me out. I'm quite interested to learn these things..but I don't know how to start.....need your advice
..
Aleksandar Hardi what is your email so we can talk sir
Aleksandar Hardi hey , im a junior in highschool and I’m very interested in visual effects or motion graphics .. what should i Major in at college ? And what is the salary?
What softwares should I learn for animation??
Creating complete animated movie??
If you want to do something like the Pixar stuff - Maya would be the way to go. It's industry standart for character modelling, UV, texturing (you need to know Photoshop and Substance Painter here), rigging, animation, lighting and rendering. (you can almost do all of this stuff also in Blender 3D for free - but if you want to work in the industry you need to know that almost nobody uses that....so better learn Maya in the first place)
However you would also need to learn a compositing software. Like he said After Effects is a possibility but Nuke is the standart here. If your movie also contains some sort of simulations - like fire, explosion, ocean waves...etc....you would also need to learn Houdini.
Then you need to master a film editing software for the final edit of your film + global color grading and whatnot. (Adobe Premiere) Still your movie has no sound and music. For that you would need to learn some sort of a DAW like Pro Tools or Cubase.
You see it's impossible to learn all of them. Pick a specific task you want to learn to perfection and then try to get a job in your field. Creating a whole movie on your own is next to impossible...unless it's like five minutes long and you really have a shit ton of time :-D
I can Imagine seeing myself photoshopping to make a background dissappear, but with a video it seems like a whole new level
informative video
How con downlodes this softwear
WHICH SOFTWARE OF VFX EDITING IS THIS??
what is the salary ???
I wasnt able to look at your website.
To all of you who would like to enter the VFX and motion graphics. A good and simple and inexpensive place to start is to learn to draw and paint. That way you train your eye to see while you develop an understanding of colors for compositing later on. It can be good for someone to enter a film or design school to learn and to meet other people you can exchange experience with. Good luck out there.
