"this song is not a metaphor" After Effects Walkthrough

Hello! This is the final shorty (for now)! And I don't have much in the way of bloopers, so instead, I made a 35-minute walkthrough of each of the 102 layers I used in After Effects in order to make this 51 second video. That's an average of two layers per second. The video equivalent of a high-speed croissant.

I've been meaning to make a little walkthrough in order to show all of the nuts and bolts that go into the short videos I make, and BOY OH BOY did it take a lot longer than I thought it would.

Let me know if you'd like to see more walkthroughs in the future! I don't know if I can do one for all of my videos, but it was fun to talk through everything.

ALSO: Expect some other Patreon posts in the next month. I've got a VERY LARGE project that's coming out in October (hopefully ~3-5 videos in late October), along with a few other posts of videos that I'm not sure will work out anymore. That said, I'm also moving at the end of this month, so things are gonna be a little wild for the next 50 days or so. Thanks for hanging in there with me!

A great bts video! I don't know if Brian has been watching the sitcom Ghosts, but his current moustache is giving off big Pat vibes

This was a cool behind the scenes video

Does your facial hair have a common name? Like, is it something you can go to your barber and say "I want the thing" kind of thing? Because if not, it should be the Japanese temple.

It was super cool to see your process!

This video was wonderful--thank you for the laughs and the great song!

Pan, the "tying financial transactions to fun facts" is specifically to stop me from saying fun facts literally all of the time always. They're the mental equivalent of ankle weights for me: once I take them off my facts are unstoppable and my conversational partners are dreaming of a change of topic.

Isi you mustn't give facts outside of stream

always, always love a walkthrough. Nuts and bolts are delightful. Eminently in favor of those, though of course if time prohibits it may not be practical to spend 35 minutes on every 51 seconds just for a perk.

I don't wanna break your heart but beetles also go through metamorphosis and I doubt that their larvae have any idea what is going on either. Thank you for the video! EDIT: bees also go through metamorphosis. A lot of insects do! I am straining to contain the bug facts EDIT 2: that’s a butterfly in your video! You can tell because, drum roll…. It holds its wings upright at rest! EDIT 3: the scary spikes on those leaves are nail galls! Mites lay their eggs in leaf cells and irritate the surrounding leaf, causing it to rapidly inflame around the egg and create a home/food store for the developing larvae.
