you don't need to animate less because sometimes if you Wanna see your skills on editing you need to animate more and if you got the experience and you know your just so good you don't need to.

[@ohohohha]

You're an absolute genius.. I really loved this video :)

[@brian_hermelijn]

Oh wow. The first step is exactly what I was looking for, as I have struggling to understand whato to do to add almost similar look of my end result illustrations! Thank you again Ben for the wonderful tips.

[@BenMarriott]

You're welcome pal! It's a bit repedative over big scenes, but it's so satisfying to see come together :)

[@ItzSylvan]

So good Ben!

[@mohabbatart1734]

Great tips!

[@oalexcs]

You're amazing, Ben! Cheers from Brazil.

[@bamcameback]

Ah that glow effect is exactly what i need!

[@BenMarriott]

It's worth playing around with radii of the glow more than anything. I probably should have made the first 1 smaller than the default 10, but I find controlling with the curves so udeful. You can also animate the curves property as well to change the glow even more easily.

[@jakeynoobs5388]

Thank you!

[@timber951]

Brilliant !

[@noiseworks]

excellent, great tips!

[@mikeprice25]

that glow effect was so simple but so genius

[@MarcCardwell]
