I'll add to the pile of compliments. Love how the first few seconds of every video show you exactly what you're going to be learning. I wish more people did this!! Love it.

Man, this is one of the best videos I've seen on Youtube in a while. Crystal clear, easy to follow and full of information. Thanks.

Just started learning AE and your tutorials are the BEST I've come across, hands down. I appreciate that you show the effect that's being applied throughout the video, so we know what each tool really does. Such a big difference. Thank you! :)

Hey Ben! Thank you for taking the time to make tutorials. I consider my self as an intermediate/advanced mograph artist, but I always keep an eye on new tutorials for new techniques and methods. And in this one I finally got a better understanding on what preserve transparency does ;) Keep it up dude

I've noticed how usually it takes me 4-5 videos that I really enjoyed before I subscribe to someone. it only took one for you mate. Straight to the point, referencing advanced techniques (always useful for further notes) and you add a bit of humour that doesn't distract. Kudos.

[minipott]

this is one of the best tutorials I have seen. Your animator's intuition is wonderful to see

[joemarvelly]

The stuff you threw in at the end blew my mind...that's the kind of shit you don't tend to get enough of in these beginner style tutorials - thank you

I scoured the internet to learn After Effects to quickly get an animation out and this was perfect! Thank you for the great content and helping with my first ever After Effects project. Have so much to learn from you!

Beautiful stuff!! Love the workflow and the casual vibe of Your tutorials.

[tylerheaton]

Great demonstration. So many fundamental principles captured in a fun tutorial. Much nicer than just arbitrarily working with the individual elements out of context. Thanks.

[Malwens]

So simple but so effective. Thanks Ben!

[Aptass]

This tutorial has to much momentum for me to handle. Breathtaking! Thanks Ben for sharing your knowledge :)

[taljeetmatharu]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! going to try this!

[segunkareem]

Best advance tricks found here. From animation to design. thank you Ben!

[DOSkywalkR]

Your tutorials and templates are really helpful! Can I also say I appreciate that unlike most tutorial guys you don't always show us how to make a new composition unless it's important but only the essential stuff? 😁 (as someone with ADD it drives me nuts when someone with a tutorial of a specific function also wants to show me how the program works)

[kerhatky]

This is just amazing. So well explained!!! Thank you!

[rishabhagarwal]

Great tutorial! Makes a lot of sense to morph shapes that way.

[garydavies]

Clear, informative, quick, witty. Brilliant stuff. Love love love.
