Ben, I want to tell you that I recently interviewed with a company and I brought up your channel, specifically your "We always name our layers" line, and the animators in the interview knew exactly what I was talking about. I was interviewing for a motion designer position, and needless to say, I got the job.

Footnotes: 1. Yes, I'm visibly salty about not yet being asked to design an adorable bat companion for a star-wars property. I'm sure Obi-wan would have loved the company & merchandising opportunities whilst waiting it out on Tattooine. 2. In experimenting with different locations to film I discovered that the last one in this video from the lower angle was in fact TOO flattering. For the safety of myself and my viewers in the future, I will not be reusing it without an onscreen warning.

I needed this. Cause finding a job in the creative field in general is tough, but more so that I just got laid off. So thank you so much for putting this in.

Hey Ben, love this style of video geared more towards business. Keep em coming! Also, I can't quite afford your course at the moment. Any word of a DISCOUNT in the forecast? Perhaps a "summer special" 20% off deal?
