Overview
I got my first job at an American start up through Twitter, because I shared my work there.
Guillermo Rauch reached out to me on Twitter as well, and that’s how I got my job at Vercel.
If I wasn’t posting my work on Twitter, you probably wouldn’t be taking this course right now, as you wouldn’t even know I exist.
What I’m trying to say here is that building in public is incredibly powerful. If you don’t have a job yet, it’ll increase your chances to get one and if you have a job already, it’ll strenghten your position on the market, or, if you want to start your own thing, you’ll already have an audience.
What does this have to do with animations?
This is a homework lesson. I’d want you to craft an animation based on the things we’ve learned, and share it on Twitter or send it to me privately. You can tag me in the tweet and we can have a nice interaction there, I love seeing your work.
If you would want me to review the animation first, you can email me at e@emilkowal.ski and I’ll make sure to give you feedback.
How to record animations
Here are a few tips:
- Focus on what you want to present, zoom in, make the motion easy to see.
- Record in light mode, stands out more on X, looks cleaner, and motion looks better.
- If on MacOS use Quicktime instead of Cleanshot or any other screen recorder for better smoothness.
