If you told me a months ago that After Effects would be my ticket from Argentina to California, I wouldn’t have believed you. 🇦🇷 ✈️ 🇺🇸
Grateful for every keyframe and every late night that led me here.
The journey is just beginning. Thanks Contra 🖤
Congratulations
meeting you there soon😊
Thanks! The journey is worth it!
That’s amazing, Jere — congrats! Love seeing how dedication to the craft can open doors like this. Wishing you the best for the journey ahead.
Thanks, Abhiram! It’s definitely been a grind, but seeing it pay off like this makes every hour worth it. Really appreciate the support!
Yes mate Congrats once again !!!

Thanks for sharing Jere! I know that many freelancers balance hope with doubt every day. Stories like yours remind us to keep pushing, believe in yourself and enjoy the journey! 🙌
Thank you! You’re so right, the freelance path is a rollercoaster of doubt and hope, but moments like these make it all worth it. Appreciate the kind words!
Congrats on this new stage!
Thanks, Franco! Excited for what's coming. 🙌
Man this sounds so good to me in the journey lol, i just need to have a moment with you
Thanks, Adeal! It’s been quite a ride. 🚀🤘
After Effects as a one way ticket from Argentina to California. That story is legendary. Keep going!
Thanks so much, Stephanie! It still feels a bit surreal, but those keyframes really did pave the way 😃
From Argentina to California through keyframes — that's one of the most inspiring things I've read today. Keep going Jere!
THis is inspiring, keep up the good work champ
Thanks, Tolu! Keeping the momentum going. Appreciate the support!
Out of all the disciplines & tools, framing in after effects takes it's toll on processor power, patience and all those late nights.
I take my hat off to the ones like this, but I also hope you get to enjoy some of that Californian sunshine <3
Haha, you know the struggle! My processor (and my eyes) definitely earned this trip. I'm definitely making sure to soak up some of that West Coast sunshine. Thanks, Matthew! ☀️
Such a long but exciting trip, congratulations! Saludos desde Argentina
Gracias Anita! haha yess! so exciting :D
Thank you, Hanna! Wishing you the same on your journey! 🙏

That's really cool you've shown the BTS of it. I mean, I'd have just thought you created them through only effects otherwise, which is also cool, but seeing the work behind it actually hits different.

Small community note for everyone in the Zo Computer Challenge on Contra.
The submissions so far are genuinely impressive — a lot of creative, original, and technically strong work already.
One small tip: I noticed many people are using just strictly Zo Space as a deliverable, which is completely valid, but Zoo Computer also has a Hosting option that seems worth exploring.
With Hosting, you can build a proper full-stack web app using JavaScript libraries, npm packages, frameworks, backend logic, and deployment patterns closer to a normal Linux VPS or production environment.
Not a criticism at all — just a practical hint in case anyone missed it and wants to push their submission further.
Hope it helps someone.
How 18 hrs left? It is supposed to end on 26 April at 11:59 PDT
