This is incredible! Hands down best neon lighting I've seen in AE yet! Thank you for putting this out there. So great!

[TheGardengroove]

Thank you so much, I actually went ahead and made my project come true step by step, following your every click. Only in the very end I realised you offer the project files :D Could've saved a ton of work for a little hobby project, but in the end I am glad I clicked through with you, because I learned a lot. For me as a bloody beginner you put just the right amount of detail in your explanations so I was able to follow and understand. Awesome work, thanks again!

Wow!
Did you know you're a genius in your workflow especially on stacking effects on top of each other?!

your tuts are a little bit advanced so you don't get as much views and subscribers as you should and deserve because most of the viewers in youtube are more beginner and need more basic stuff,

but don't get discouraged and Just keep doing these amazing tutorials!

I've been using AE tutorials since VCP's "Demon Face" tut (for reference of how long I've used resources such as this video for learning). This is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen.
