It’s a bit late to share this one but… 2026 is the year of the horse in #Chinese #Zodiac. #Character #animation with scrolling background is not as straight forward as you think! I hope you enjoy the 8bit-ish #music I made. vimeo.com/1173687620

2026 is the year of the horse in Chinese Zodiac. Character animation with scrolling background is not as straight forward as you think! I hope you enjoy the 8bit-ish…

Oh thank you for using my tools, Jeremy! I’m very new to that platform and I don’t have any invites now.

Okay I managed to get it from great #mographer @alboardman.bsky.social and here’s my account on there. So please follow me on #FrameRate if you’re also on there. framerate.tv/profile/beat...

Shinsuke Matsumoto @beatgram.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

So does anyone give me an #invite for clean & shiny #FrameRate? I’ve been searching for the #vimeo alternative for years… I need the same old #animator #community like in 2010’s.

#Adobe kills #Animate. #Canva acquires #Cavalry. #NativeInstruments bankruptcy. #Anthropic upgrades #computer-use feature… Can I #survive in this #digital big #waves in 2026? Anyway, long live #AfterEffects!

You should check out this great article about #animation / #mograph industry by Emanuele Colombo to get started the discussion about our future if you’re an animator / mographer. Yep, it’s “not just an analysis”! www.brandsinmotion.xyz/resource/ref...

Thanks for your opinion. I’m familiar with #bodymovin plugin in #AE and it’s time consuming task but I can manage Lottie properly if I have enough turnaround time. I feel Rive is better for future but animation features are still too simple for AE #animator like me.

Shinsuke Matsumoto @beatgram.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

I’ll deep dive into #Rive / #Lottie in 2026. #RiveScripting is powerful like #Flash & Lottie got #StateMachines finally. Rive is better for future but Lottie is integrated with #AE. What do you think about Rive / Lottie, #animator friends? rive.app/blog/scripti... lottiefiles.com/state-machines

Is this a beginning of the new era? Learning curve is a bit steep for old boy like me, though… #Affinity vs #Adobe

Shinsuke Matsumoto @beatgram.bsky.social · 01/09/2025

Thinking about #sharing all my knowledge of #AE #expressions on YouTube or somewhere. Anyone is interested in it? Maybe I will share my #scripting skills in the near future…

Hello folks. I’ve still been searching for the safe & nice #platforms to share my works / wip etc. And I noticed #LinkedIn is a fine & clean place for me these days. I haven’t got an inquiry from the site though, I want to connect with more #animators on there!

I always select b) to achieve the best result with my skills. Occasionally it’s waste of time, though.

Hmm, this #AE #error crashes my #PC several times when I close AE or #purge all cache & memories, I guess. Is it just me? I updated Nvidia #driver to 576.40.

Shinsuke Matsumoto @beatgram.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

And received an email from #ToonBoom team today and it says they have a plan to #release #ver25 this summer. I look forward to it too!

Shinsuke Matsumoto @beatgram.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

It’s already 2025 but now I #updated #ToonBoomHarmony to #ver24 finally! I need to check new features like #ShapeAware #deformer but I feel so good already.

Shinsuke Matsumoto @beatgram.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

Thank you for the info! Hmm, I see. It’s not the safe platform for professional animators. 🤔

Shinsuke Matsumoto @beatgram.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

It’s sooo nice to meet #mograph people again here on Bluesky! 🙌

Hi blue sky fam! I have a brand new website, with honestly, probably too much yapping & haikus for what is considered professional. But I hope you have a peep! Open to new work opportunities at the moment ✏️ 🩷 www.lisavertudaches.com

Shinsuke Matsumoto @beatgram.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

Thank you for your input. I still use Vimeo too but we animators really want an alternative in 2025, I feel.

Shinsuke Matsumoto @beatgram.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

Okay, updated my #starter #pack again. If you’re #mograph related person, this might be helpful when you kick start your journey here on #Bluesky! It will be greatly appreciated if you repost this. go.bsky.app/PVYUmUa

I’m so happy to follow your work here on Bluesky, Al! I hope nice & fine platform will appear in the near future…

Shinsuke Matsumoto @beatgram.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Yeah, I can’t pay that ¥¥¥$$$€€€… But I’m relieved a bit because you guys are looking for alternatives too! This is not a small problem for us animators, really. 🤔

Shinsuke Matsumoto @beatgram.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Thank you for your input! I’ve never heard of it.

It’s time to completely say goodbye to nostalgic #twitter and I should be more active here on #Bluesky in 2025!

Shinsuke Matsumoto @beatgram.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

Hope #animators / #mographers #community on this platform will grow gradually like on twitterverse a decade ago. go.bsky.app/PVYUmUa
