FINALLY... got this video done. I have been working on it for a few weeks now. some ups and downs from technical issue but i finally got this done. I'm probably going to post it as is, I wasnt looking for perfection on this video since this was me trying a bunch of new things out. and sometimes you just got to finish up a project. My next one though i want to make even better so any critiques would be great!

Posting this as a W because after a long few weeks, successfully got MediaPipe to control a vortex in TouchDesigner! Check out my case study here! https://www.figma.com/proto/1SGxK4RtOEfQiWvSEbF9gX/VORTEX_PINCH_TD_P1?page-id=0%3A1&node-id=0-3&p=f&viewport=259%2C-364%2C0.1&t=YywRDT5fDyCDQ8DV-1&scaling=scale-down-width&content-scaling=fixed

Alright, the AC Community Script is officially ready for people to record their parts and add them to the video. Participants (in order): @Charlie Hyman @Alessandro Graci @Japey Howarth @Joshua Long @Andrea Cosma @Liana Viveros @Abbie Robots You don't have to add your part to the video yourself. I would like you to submit your part separately with no music in the background so that I can add it to the final edit. Your names are labeled on the part of the video for the section that you have to include your part in. Try to keep your part the same length as the dedicated slot in the video; it will help us edit it and stitch it together more seamlessly. Submit the video via email at [email protected]! The goal is to get this launched in the next TWO WEEKS! Don't feel like you have to have a cinematic recording set up by any means; you can simply use your phone and any light that you have to record your part. If you want to get creative with it, please feel free to do so - we want everyone's individuality to shine through. Thank you again so much to everyone who wants to participate in this video. I feel like it's going to do wonderful for promoting our community and showing how involved everyone has been so far. I'm extremely grateful for your guys' time and dedication to building this out. Let me know if you guys have any questions!

We recently crossed a huge milestone: 100 members in the program! You all have been part of the very first steps of the Asterisk Create journey, and I want to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you for believing in the vision. Thank you for trusting in the mission to help creative professionals around the world find success in their own unique lanes. It’s been an incredible journey so far, and I mean it when I say: I’m committed to this for life. I see Asterisk Create growing into something far bigger, a creative university of sorts. A place where new mentors, experienced creatives, and up-and-coming artists come together to share, guide, and grow alongside one another. A place where success isn't just talked about but taught, earned, and shared. So again, from the bottom of my heart... thank you. I’m deeply grateful to have every single one of you here. And I’m here for any of you, any time. 🌷 Also, I'll be preparing the community script for our upcoming video next week and will post it soon. Be ready to give feedback and sign up for your parts when it drops. xoxo, Jordan

Hey Asterisk Community, I've chatted with a bunch of you guys on here and instagram, a lot of you have mentioned here and on Instagram that you want to learn After Effects. It can look intimidating at first, but it’s not as bad as it seems, and once you understand the basics it can really take your videos to another level. Tutorials on YouTube are useful, but the downside is you can’t ask questions as you go. I’d like to host a live lesson in Asterisk where I’ll walk through the fundamentals of After Effects and answer your questions in real time. If you’re interested, share some general times that work for you (with your time zone). Also let me know if there’s something specific you’d like to learn, like camera tracking, cloning, or recreating an effect you’ve seen online. I’ll prepare examples to cover what you’re most curious about.
