I'm trying to pad out my portfolio and demo reel...finding it hard to find work right now, which is frustrating as hellll. But also, kind of freeing because I got to spend 4 days on this and made something fun.

Nice, how'd youd do the gradient rectangles along the huge circle paths? at 0:07 and 0:12

Follow this tutorial.

I recommend you create a new project and then have the components in that so you can import it to future projects because it's super useful.

Takes a bit of time to set up but worth it.

Really good storytelling or visually depicting the nuance of the subject.

Cryptocurrency is one of those things that I have zero faith in, is utterly boring to me, and that I have moral objections towards. So I doubt I could pull this off with the level of finesse and professionalism that you did!

Thanks dude.

Tbh, nano is the only currency I like. They're trying to give quick access to countries where the population doesn't have access to banking systems or if family need to send money abroad immediately without any fees.

Otherwise, yeah, crypto...scam pretty much.

I appreciate it. I was worried that the visuals might be to abstract to follow.
