“Comfort zone: where self improvement goes to die” what a golden nugget of wisdom ❤
The main problem with watching tutorials is they are typically specific case. This form of memory or repetitive learning is an easy way to learn, But it can also be a hinderance to your growth. Especially if you want to go beyond what you have practiced. What I mean is that yes practice makes perfect, but it's important to remember the reason you are practicing. If you just need to do something in after effects once and never again watch the tutorial. But if you want to be a professional graphic artist or even just a hobbyist . It's important to ask why. Why do I add this effect here or why am I doing this. If you can understand the program, the effects, and how they function you can apply that knowledge to any job or project. This applies to anything you want to learn as well. whether its design, music, school, work. It is always better to understand first and then practice applying that knowledge in a variety of ways.
wow very true... i have the same views about the tutorials for specific case
I really needed this like 3 years ago... this video is a beautiful masterpiece. No one ever talks about this thankss
It is impresive the professional advice that he give us, THANKS, really THANKS
Needed to hear this, thank you for uploading
Bro, you are a legend, aside from your amazing tutorials, this video was so on point and is something very neglected by many, thank you for speaking about these stuff, great stuff man keep it UP!
Damn i needed this. This is what I'm at right now. I'm too stuck in watching tutorials and hope that overtime it will improve my skill. Thanks bud!
This was truth spoken in this video!! You gotta get your feet wet then go all in if you ever expect to get better 💯💪🏿
Thanks a lot. That's exactly what I've been thinking about for the last years of my work, and you helped me realize it
I was just thinking about THIS. Thank You man.
This was inspiring. I've been a professional photographer for nearly 20 years, but I am new to video and have been serious with After Effects for less than a year. I learned exactly though the method you describe here, copying a tutorial and then trying to recreate it in my own projects. Thank you for making some of those tutorials I learned with.
Thats awesome to hear!
Love your work so far brother. ❤️
Great conversation. Thanks bro!
thank you for your thoughts, great points
This is very deep!
I can relate what you said to many areas that are not anywhere to motion graphic!!!
Great tutorial ! Thank you lot
Thanks buddy, love it
Very good advice. Thank you
Real Talk & Well Said, Bro
Great Explanation 👍🏻!
By the way, I think you are sitting too close to the camera because your eyes moving towards your scripting screen is observable and even that screen reflects on your glasses sometimes. 😊😊😊
Sir i am new in the animation feild, this was waht i need to hear and this things i am aplying in my animation what i am doing now a days thank you so much sir
GREAT POINTS, especially the 3rd one. I loved it how you described skillset and mindset. Most of time We all mayhave skills to do something new but our mindset is stuck in between same things and we never progress. We don't want to try new things and we just live in same bubble. Thankyou for your words, Sometimes we just need a reminder to do new things, Even though we had skills we cannot do anything new if we don't try new things.
Well put Zeeshan!
very informative video. please keep on posting
this guy deserves more subscribers
hahah usually i dont like videos on youtube but you got me there, totally deserved it!
THANKS
That's a great mentor right there .
Thanks boss
You are most welcome!
These're exactly my problems! Especially the third one. I was just saying yesterday that every time when I want to come up with some new project of mine, my brain feels like dead. The lack of skills always constrains my ideas. I won't do something because I don't know how to do it....Really need to challenge myself! Thank you so much!
How is that? I remember the time when a technician had to come to the studio, physically install something in the workstation and only then you can actually use 12 layer instead of 8 layers in the prehistoric After Effects.
Just take a paper sheet, draw on circle at the bottom. That's your project. In the beginning are your current skills. Start drawing small circles, those are the things needed to be done. What are those? Rigging? Shading? Lip Sync? Draw a line between the circles with sources you get the information.
Now you got a plan.
Start creating.
@@ErikRicardoLC Thank you so much!
Lol trying something different and stepping outside of comfort zone really hits home. Currently reverse engineering a faux 3D technique l’m trying to figure out and the mindset to expect friction and embrace it is everything for me.
Awesome to hear. Be resilient...if every problem was easy to solve, it wouldn't be worth solving ✊
I mostly stumble upon tutorials when I'm doing an animation, I think to myself "there must be better/faster way to do this thing I'm doing right now" and that's how I broaden my techniques and tools though I'm definitely guilty of just sitting there and watching the tutorials and doing nothing about them BUT I at least get in my head that certain things are even possible, so I grow my inner visual library of possibilities at least
I am with you about the point 3 but the problem is limited time in projects that even when i work all the weekend it is not possible to execute all in my mind
Pretty sure a lot of animators that may be accused of stagnating in a company or studio is because they are not encouraged to experiment or think fresh if it impacts pipeline and deadlines
Hilarious. Intelligent. Packed with wisdom. Thanks bruv
yeah, only time i learned something was when doing a project and went "well, i wanna do this, can i do it? how do i even do it?" and went to saw tutorials to the thing, and suddenly i do the thing all the time now, this is the biggest tip, just do the thing man, think about what you wanna do and not how you gonna do or if youn know how to do, chances are, someone did it and posted a tutorial on YT anyway, no need to think much into it
*GREAT VIDEO!!* 0:34 I'm still stuck at this point. LOL My problem is I'm not consistent enough on performing the tutorials I watch and when I do it takes forever to go through one. Because of being so excited to do a tutorial that interests me I don't understand the reasoning behind it and if there is a different or better way to do it. I'm just following someone else's habits which may or may not be correct. Sure it gets the job done (by following the tutorial) but at the end of the day it's like I copied someone else's homework. You can't learn by doing that all the time. Well, I guess you can if you do it enough times but is it the best way? I know it is my own fault because I have never taken the time to learn the core foundations first. I should probably do that. I do like your style of teaching so I will subscribe and follow your tutorials. I look forward to more of them. 👍Oh, and as far as Idealization/Conceptualization skills I have absolute ZERO talent in this area. Never have and probably never will. I'm more of a fix it guy then a design it guy. Maybe one needs to attend a few psychedelic retreats to gain some insight in this area. Some people have the talent and some don't. I am one of the latter. As far as people just doing the same thing over and over again that is just pure laziness on their part. Never stop learning. If you don't keep up you will not last very long. I can certainly attest to that.
brother, been a huge fan of you, please do some tutorial on design aspects for us normal beings. having finished the basic already now facing the most challenge to create design and perspective based elements/styleframes in illustrator. You could probably make a mini series on it and it will be mega hit! Nobody teaches about this part of how to design for 2D motions! thank you for consideration!
Thanks! I do agree with you and I will keep this is mind for future content!

That's a quote of the day
Love it! 😄
Amazing
So true.. you have to do your version of all the tutorials that you see on you tube . From your tutorials my friendI have learn morphin and match cut.😂 .
Remember, a stone sculptor uses tools to create works of art, not magic...
A stone sculptor works hard to achieve perfection...
So true about the usual tutorials you find on TH-cam - they walk you through the steps to get one specific result, but almost never bother explaining the "why" of anything. I used to enjoy Andrew Kramer's tutorials (Video Copilot), because he delved a bit more into the theory behind using certain effects, which I found helpful... but I think the last one he did was like 5 years ago. Maybe he's dead.
Damn I hope not
He's been swallowed up by a busy schedule in Hollywood
I hear you and I agree! I would say @JakeInMotion is also very good at creating deeper and more comprehensive tutorials as well.
When I move my shape layer, I can only see the end result after I release my left mouse button. At 2:17, how is it you move your layer's position and instantly see the preview inside the Composition panel? What settings am I missing?
Interesting, I tend to do these things anyway because generally a tutorial won't have exactly what i'm looking for but something close.
what software is this?
Why you are talking about me😂
I do need to start implementing and practising what I watched
Real advice 👍
i am just watching tutorial after tutorial and not creating something of my own. i am watching reels videos and I want to edit like that but there is no tutorial like that. what to do
Love how the guy oozes 70s vibes
But one has uo start somehow and somewhere! I dont hv anyone to teach me but i really love to do editing and motion graphics
Bro, the whole video was awesome and so helpful, but I noticed that you kept looking back at the screen again and again. Was there a script that you were reading?
Yeah, its usually unnoticable but I changed my setup recently and I haven't worked out all the kins yet. Apologies if it was distracting.
Great quote: "Your ideas are limited by your skillset" I'm going to use that on my students. ;) they are more eager to do the same pony trick then learning something new.. ha ha ha.
Mostly, on TH-cam or Facebook, they teach you free stuff only to find you have to enroll to their masterclass to find out the HOWS and WHYS
Did you just use "settle" in a sentence? Wonder who coined that one ;) Great stuff Cam
😁
💖
Really helpful bro🔥🙌. Just one concern. You take pause on every one or two words. Sorry to point out. Just in case if you didn't noticed. Content is amazing
I think you’ve gotten used to hearing Ai voices in shorts, reels and tiktoks, because I don’t hear anything wrong with his speech pattern. Dude’s got to breath at some point 😅
His cadence is fine, everyone has a different way of presentation - plus it's a conceptual explanation video, he's not pausing and stalling on a tutorial f.e
Hey, What If I decided to take a break for 2 weeks? then come back? Would I lose a massive amount of skills and education??
it depends more on how well you've learnt those skills...If I take a 2 week break, it will have 0 impact but if you are very new to it all and it hasn't been ingrained yet...you may have to relearn some things but I wouldn't worry too much about it. Thats the process of learning...
@@MotionXP I've been studying adobe after effects for 9 months and I've been 7 months consistent!
looking good Cameron Shan here
Thanks Shannon! 😁
Sucks for your video analytics... but honestly, after the first few sentences of this video. I'm about to close TH-cam, and open after effects to start practicing.... But I will watch this tomorrow. Hopefully making it past the first 30 seconds.
i just need a tutoriel about how u did with like Button when you tell us to hit it 😂😂
best
Don't watch tutorials....proceeds to give us tutorials. 🙂
the thing is, you follow tutorials, not just watch them
😂😂
🤦♂️
😂😂💀
Sometimes it is hard fo me, cause i work on a daily based tight time scale... all my animations must be done the quickest as possible, so it put a limit in my own develop! cause i need to think on the quickers soluction problem, cause my client is a dickhead... and the company i work dont seens to care about improving so mutch the quality, so i kinda feel stuck on my on skill sets with hardly space to improve ( at least on my actual job)... it is frustrating!
I can sympathise with this as I have experienced it as well. Once you hit the ceiling with the type of content the company wants to produce, there not much more you can do. It is very frustrating indeed! The best suggesstion I have are to use your time outside of work for personal projects to build up a portfolio. You can then use that portfolio to find another company to work for where you will be able to progress.
Thank you for the inspiring video and for the answer! keep doing an amazing job!

I Like the Practice quest, but when converts Dollar to Real, make the course expensive :(
Drop me an email or message me on instagram...I would to create equal access if I can so if you are serious, I'll see what I can do.
@@MotionXPwhere can i get motion design briefs for beginners?
bro ask chat gpt or any AI to play the role of a client, you can even make chat gpt adjust to your skill lever so if u felt the brief given by chat gpt was too tough for your skill level u can ask chat gpt to give u something easier, it's really good try it out, it's also good because it's interactive rather than just getting a brief with 0 elaboration@@jirehla-ab1671
Sexy, intelligent and relatable
Do not go out your comfort zone, enlarge it instead: subtle difference.
Because you are the best IN your comfort zone.
The first approach just create frustration and bad results.
I think thats an interesting distinction. Thanks for sharing!

So this guy tells you not to watch tutorial cause you don't learn anything, but him self giving you tutorials? 😂
This means you didn’t hear a word he said.
That's a smart advice rarely found in tutorials 😂
Are you an ai character of what kinda looks like that 😅
I've literally watched 55 seconds of this and was enough for me to acknowledge how stupid this video actually is.
I want my 55 seconds back please, thank you
lol
The problem is the number of AE "teachers" on TH-cam. Nowadays people are lazy, AE "teachers" make everything magical in AE...
Example: Anime on AE in 3 minutes...
Screw AI. Have some respect for fellow digital artists.
And I'm highly recommend you to stop watching 80s movies.
Stop watching Ae tutorials!
Watch ours instead!
I am kinda not fan of you reading your spiel. It is very noticeable. I hope you memorized it if you can't talk spontaneously.
Lol I never spend 10 minutes on such a bad way. This video does not contain anything worthy to know, and won't help you at all.
What nonsense is this 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️....we watch tutorials to practice so what nonsense is this
Waste of time this video is.
I've been an animator for 8 years. And yet, to this day, I have to google Math.round every. single. time.
