Amanda gave an excellent lecture that focuses on how she creates her effects. While she definitely
goes into the details of how the demonstrated effects work, what I am actually taking away from this
is mostly the process for making your own magic. The breakdown flowed well throughout the lecture
and was quite enjoyable to watch.
Sadly, a number of the effects are too specific to the
medium she is using to work for my style, but that is small peanuts compared to what she talked
about.
If you are not into internet magic and you already have your creative process worked
out, this may not be for you, but I found her insights worthwhile.
