It's great that you mentioned "don't get too self-conscious" - a great reminder to everyone that we are all at different stages in our careers.

[OrdinaryFolk]

Thanks so much for mentioning one of our projects Ben! We're honoured to have our work included alongside all these incredible artists.

[thesdfable]

hey! a suggestion. I think it would be better if you separate this video into two parts...first with best mograph from studios and the other for independent animators. It would be helpful to see what people do for personal projects, without a team. I also think it would be helpful to find out about independent artists too..to support them. cus I believe most people already know big studios and big names. We are already constantly being exposed to their work since everyone is sharing their work constantly. about the studios..maybe you could also do some research for other studios as well..international ones. not only Australian, American, Canadian or British. But I don't know for example Chinese, Greek, Russian, Indian etc.We are aware that some western studios dominate the whole industry but maybe it doesn't have to be like that you know. Some diversity could be nice.

[Hainesi]

I swear you already uploaded this, feel like I’ve seen you mention some of these before?

[StefanLopuszanski]

The Pray - Monolink was done by Páraic Mc Gloughlin who also did Weval's 'Someday' ... highly recommended if you are interested. Make sure to get an UHD version to properly capture the intensity of the images.

[Comic_Crow]

I‘m ready for inspiration. I want to get creative more often after school and also get into animation.

Thanks for your videos, watched some of them this week. Thanks also for imforming about Milanote. I think I can really use the platform for my projects.
