    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.

    Just came across your channel few hours back and its super amazing. I've been studying graphic design and also some motion graphics and always use certain channels. But this channel firstly has such good branding, be it the video openings, the layout in social media and most of all the content is crazy, like the grain and the crazy ai stuff is just different. Illustrations are also consistently awesome. Very helpful, I'll watch a lot of ads in your channel so you get paid more lol
