Jake,
Over the last few weeks I have seen you more than my girlfriend. but that's ok, you don't nag. I have bled (lesson 25 is evil), I have sweat (lessons 1-34) and i have cried (effing lesson 25 again) but I have prevailed because you're an incredible teacher, coach, and you never yelled at me. If you subscribe to Malcolm Gladwells 10,000 hour rule great, bc I do, and I am an expert now on just this one project. I have no talent, but I love to create, I want to be a guru someday, not sure where it will lead, but learning AE is fun. Thank you good sir, you are the GOAT!
