2 Years In 2 Minutes🔥

I Made this 2 years ago when i was really getting into replacing movie characters with myself using VFX in mostly After Effects and Blender.

And guess what, this was made in 1 month and all of my clips were shot with my old Cheaaaap Android Phone but i maximized the camera quality by using a dedicated camera plugin which i used to tweak the phone camera setting with its terrible Noise reduction algorithm disabled.

Then i would only record clips between Exactly 4:50pm to 6pm over the course of 3 weeks to get all my clips and takes ready.

And after that i used AshleyGPT 7 PRO (Me and mybrain😂) to crunch out the editing in After effects, i used planar tracking, Ae's 3D lights and lots and losts of rotoscoping and masks to get this result

Impressive VFX range, especially from phone-shot footage.

For Sienna Rhodes, I designed the homepage around one idea: the portfolio should come first.

Photography clients usually want to know one thing before they read about your process, your packages, or even who you are: Do I connect with your work?

So instead of opening with a traditional introduction, the homepage leads directly into the portfolio and lets the imagery make the first impression. The supporting copy and details come later, once the work has already created that initial connection.

I’m curious where other designers and photographers land on this. Do you prefer a portfolio-first homepage, or do you think the photographer’s story should come first?

Portfolio first, every time for photography. Nobody hires off a process paragraph, they hire because one image stopped them scrolling. The story matters, but it lands harder after the work has already made the case. That start here slider does the pitch by itself.
