Oof, it feels as if I had pirated a paid course. Really well done job!

Man, Jacob. I'll echo the sentiments from others. You really explain the process extremely well. There's tons of info here that other presenters will gloss over but you are thoughtful and extremely elaborate in your explanation. And the infographic was much needed.

Please do more tutorials, of all levels.

We all could learn a ton from you.

I'm really so impressed with this. So much information here, I'm going to have to go through this more than once to fully process it all. Amazing work!

Wow this is awesome. I loved how hype the music got towards the end haha

I can’t believe it took me this long to find you. The “quick tutorial” trend was great for entertainment and inspiration but not so great for a beginner. This is well explained and oh-so visually pleasing. Your narration and presentation skills are incredibly high, really defying the whole “if you can’t teach, do” stereotype. I expect to spend a little while binging everything you’ve made!

[kumarthecowboy]

Are you serious.. this is perfect tutrial i ever found with covering every single detail. How is this available for free lol. Tbh i had to wrote down every point you said and rewind the video to understand better. It took me 30 mins to understand everything purrfectly. You are awesome.

[jascrandom]

WTF! This could completely pass as real! If you just show the final result and never say its CGI, nobody would realise it! Its Perfect!

[mindseyepr]

Dear Lord I had no idea VFX tutorials could even BE this good. Please make an entire series like this, charge a decent price (you're worth it) and just take my money.

[fiveoneecho]

You actually gave people some information about viewlayers and masking things! Came to see what was going on, stayed for the pleasure of watching a good tutorial. Very well done!

[IanLetarte]

Dang... this tutorial must have taken so long to make. Well done. Real good stuff. I'll be honest, I was thinking I'm just gonna skip through this 18min tutorial and get the good parts. It was all good parts though, so I didn't skip anything. :D
