Being a #AdobeStudentRep and #brandpartner for Adobe means that I am sometimes offered challenges, in order to test my creativity. 🎨 One of the challenges offered this month was to create a #Olympics graphic, based on a #Paris2024 sport. When looking at the various #SummerGames available, I found out #Skateboarding was an event hosted, which I thought was the coolest of the bunch. 🔥 Using #AdobeExpress, I created this graphic using neat #Skate assets provided in the editor. I think it turned out great, since the software was flexible in terms of lighting and positioning adjustments. 😄 Do you have a favorite #OlympicSport? 🏅 If you are currently a Fanshawe College student, you can use Adobe Express and other #Adobe #CreativeCloud products for FREE. Use the link below to find out how (see "Get Adobe Creative Cloud"). ☁ https://lnkd.in/gaytezWP **NOTE: My view is my opinion and is not representative of Adobe's view**

The juice is loose… When face paint isn’t an option but you have access to WebXR. Practicing what I preach and trying to spend more time putting some of my more creative juices into the tools I spend my time building marketing strategy for. So here is just very quick and simple face paint style filter inspired by one of my favourite films built using Procreate and Mattercraft and viewed on live preview. #webxr #facefilter

What would I say my actual secret sauce is? Spending thousands of hours from 2011-2015 on AR forums helping/listening to other creators. Providing/fixing code and even making apps for competitors. I was never in this to win a space. I was and am in it to build the entry point. Keeping things simple. My secret sauce is that I am a creator that lives on the spectrum and my passion is what I do... I listened to my fellow creators and every single thing we did was to provide simplicity in getting in/out of the software to get on with the day. I love the possibilities of AR and where it can and will go - and while I knew it was a slow burn - I decided to build what was being asked for by creators - not what influencers or one-off marketers looking to pad their wallets think they want. I had many compare us to Adobe Aero, etc over the years. Over a year ago I made this video to do the fairest comparison I could - our system is no reaching the 5-year mark... it was like this before the comparison and remains the same today - as does Aero and others that have received significant funding. I was lucky to get "just" what we needed as well as bootstrap via projects and recurring monthly revenue. I am now at the point where I am raising $$$ - if you have any interest - DM me and we will build parts of the future. https://lnkd.in/g84wxafE

When it comes to hashtag #GenerativeAI we see a future in which thousands of different and customized models emerge, each strong in their own niche. By supporting the growing ecosystem of video third-party models over time, much like we do with cameras and formats, we ensure that customers can incorporate or generate any footage within Adobe’s applications and are only bound by their imagination. https://ow.ly/4Pea30sBQHo

Giving back to the LinkedIn community that has helped me so much on my Motion Design journey. I thought I'd discuss how I produced this DAZN inspired sports-animation using a Google Sheets spreadsheet... no seriously! (Can you tell I really love German football?) This is pretty much entirely designed within After Effects, but all of the cool automation stuff happens with Dataclay's Templater plugin. As you'll see in the video, using the dropdown menus in Google Sheets, I'm able to update an entire weekend lineup of games in around 5 minutes total. This 100% isn't an ad for Templater, but for me this is up there with Overlord in terms of plugins and tools I use almost daily in my career, I couldn't imagine myself without it. If you're looking to automate data for your motion graphics, sports or otherwise - check this out I go in depth here to explain what's happening to make this sort of automation possible, but if anyone has any questions (especially on the expression side of things) be sure to reach out and let me know. I'd be happy to connect and discuss these things with you.
