How Fujimoto showcases Loss in Chainsaw Man

IT'S FINALLY HERE!! After 500+ panels cut out and animated, the eventual wait is no more - my video on Chainsaw Man (of which, was one of my Patreon goals, that, thanks to you guys, I had reached) is now available to watch!

I haven't really seen anyone cover this topic as such on youtube for this manga - and there is a lot of videos on this series - so I hope i'm able to bring something n...

Chainsaw Man progress

Hello everyone! It's been a week and a half since I released the Everything Everywhere video, and I've since gotten straight to work on my upcoming Chainsaw Man video. I'm wanting this to be some of my best manga editing work (as always, I like to try and top myself or try new editing techniques).

But for this video I wanted to start off with a bombastic intro! The whole video itself will...

Everything Everywhere All at Once - How Should We Regard Life?

Hey all, back with my second video in August! (I know, i've surprised even myself!)

This one might be a little more personal at times in the video, but only because the film touched me so much, so I hope the messages I try to convey aren't lost in that. It's such a heartfelt, emotional, hilarious and bombastic film that deserves any and all praises. And I hope I've done the film ...

VOD Birthday Livestream

Hey all, sorry this is me being late on my end, and not having set a reminder to do this earlier! But in case you missed the livestream on my main channel a few weeks back for my birthday - you can now access it here!

Hey everyone, me again! Thank you for the lovely reception on the Skip and Loafer video as well as the birthday wishes - appreciate them all ☺️

Skip and Loafer - Slice of Life Manga at its Best

It's finally here, woohoo!! 🥳🥳 It feels like this video has been a long time coming, and I couldn't thank you guys enough for the patience, support and excitement you have all shown for the video. With over 500 separate manga panels edited and animated, this manga video makes for the most complex one I've done yet. Phew!

I know there's quite a few of you who started reading this man...

Lines in Motion's Resources for Video Editing, Design and More!

Hey all,

I spent a bit of time collecting all of the resources that I use on the daily for my video editing and design work. I've had a few questions on Discord or via Patreon, or you may have asked during a livestream, about what resources I use. So I thought I'd collate all of my links together and show you what they do and how to use them! 

There's a wide variety, so I'll pu...

Skip and Loafer video update!

Hey all! It's been 2 weeks since my Heartstopper video and I just wanted to thank you all for the lovely comments on here, discord and on the video itself! After the release of that video I was on holiday for a week - I haven't been abroad for over 10 years, so I felt it was about time haha, also it was a graduation present for my sister.

But! Now that it's been a good while since returni...

The IMPORTANCE of Heartstopper

Hey all - the video is finally here! As some of you may have seen on the Discord, basically i'm on holiday 20th-25th June and knew I wouldn't be able to get the Skip video done in that time. It still has a good 4.5 weeks worth of editing needing doing on it (manga editing really does take so unnecessarily long). So! I thought I'd do a compromise and create another video idea I...

Witch Hat Atelier: Visual Storytelling through manga panelling COMMENTARY

Hey guys, I'm back with another commentary , this time for one of my all time favourite videos on the channel! Had a lot of joy revisiting this one (even despite having to listen and cringe at my past mispronunciations).

In many ways, this was the video that got me """"known"""" to some within the anitube community, and was pretty vital to the growth of the channel, but even outside of th...

Poll winner - Skip and Loafer

Hey all, thank you for picking your favourite out of the poll I set a few days ago if you did. The results are in and you guys voted for the Skip and Loafer video to come first! Super happy to start on this video, as it's a series I love dearly.

Keeping in mind that it's a manga video, the editing will take longer than what the previous 2 videos took to make in...

Next video poll!

Hey all, hopefully you enjoyed the Mob Psycho 100 video - the feedback I've received has been nothing short of lovely. 😊😊

I did say at the end of that video I'd be doing a video on Skip and Loafer, however I've done some thinking over and thought, "hey, why not let my patrons decide, actually?". So, I recently hit the first patreon goal, of which the reward was a Chainsaw Man video...

Mob Psycho 100 - When Kindness Prevails All

"I wanted it to be something that feels kind." - ONE (Mangaka of Mob Psycho 100)

To quote from my video "Mob Psycho 100 is a favorite show of mine because its protagonist is kind to an unfaltering degree. He knows everyone suffers differently, people come in all degrees of faults and issues because the world can be harsh, but decides to be kind anyways."

Mob's story is so beautifull...

Masking Tutorial in After Effects

Hey all, so I was asked by one of you guys how I go about masking in After Effects, and thought it'd be a good opportunity to do a little tutorial to post for all of you! It's a very simple thing to do, but so effective when used properly. Hope this helps anyone out!

And if anyone ever has any questions about editing, I always try my absolute best to answer with the most help I can manage...

Voice Over Audio Improvement Tutorial

Here's a little tutorial of the effects that I use to try and get the best sound out of my microphone using Audacity. The mic I'm using is the Shure SM7b, but this can easily apply to all microphones across the board. 

Make sure to wear headphones/earphones to really hear the differences!!

Arcane - Perfecting Environmental Storytelling

Arcane is one of the most beautiful, well-crafted and thought-provoking series I've seen in a while. Not just in animation. But as a series in and of itself. I could make thousands of videos surrounding this series, but I've yet to see massive discussion on the way the creatives at Fortiche so perfectly drove the narrative within a development of careful decisions regarding Arcane's environment...

Which Art Style is “Better” Stylised or Realistic?

Hey! I'm back with another manga video!

Quite often online, especially within the twitter space, I'll see a tweet asking "Which manga has the best art?". It's more a question that can be answered based on your own opinion and taste, but more often than not, I've found the answer is.... Well, predominately realistic and detailed art.

With Berserk, Vinland Saga, One Punch Man, Golden ...
