Know Art

Welcome everyone!

Hi there! Really moving reactions to the video. Thanks a lot. All of you!
Really glad to have you here. I'll keep it short as I'm currently traveling in China for an upcoming video.
I'll keep you posted. Feel free to join the Discord and share some projects of yourself or ask questions or s...

Patreon re-launch

Hey everyone,
Tomorrow I'll re-launch the Patreon with a proper video for it. Very different than my normal content, but I think you'll find it an interesting story. It's about my past and our plans for the future.
Let me know if any last minute changes are needed.
Love,
Aldo

My longest video yet!

Any last minute changes? let me know!

This video was an absolute blast to make. I've been working on it off and on for over 2 years. On my holiday to Colombia at the start of the year I happened to come across a cotton museum. Then the game was on to get this video done. And everything cam...

Office chairs

Today I cut open the cylinder of an office chair for my next video. Pretty neat!

Any office chair facts I should include in the video?

Some behind the scenes and why there was no early access to Secrets to precise movement

Hi there!
It was a bit of a tight line between having Xeryon give a green light for the footage (in order not to leak company secrets) and actually making the deadline that skillshare had set for the video. In fact I already asked for an extension. Hence there was no early access on "the secre...

Why Tractors Don't Have Suspension

Hi there,

Here's the new video! Happy Christmas holidays everyone.

Any last changes? Those are always welcome

Thanks

New short! Lens Caps

Hey Y'all I've been super busy with the long form content. Guillotine part 2 is coming along nicely. Should be done this week I hope.

Haven't had a lot of time to do shorts. So I'm working with an animator friend of mine. This is his first one!

Let me know what you think :)

lov...

a little treat

new video one of these days, thought to upload the sounds-only version for everyone here. Full version here for paid members in a little bit

Telescopic mechanisms!

Hey y'all! New video is here.

Curious what you all think

Guillotine video!

Hi y'all,

This is the most youtube-youtube video I've ever made! I built a guillotine with Jón from Proper Printing and we tested different blade shapes. And put a couple watermelons under there of course.

It's going live on wednesday, so some last minute changes are still possible i...

Ratchet strap - behind the scenes

I've actually recorded this last video about ratchet strap twice. Once on location with unsavable audio, barely any script and uh... not the best hair. So now you get to see some of that trash fire! haha (I like the intro though)

I was so done with it this stupid video stuff that I choose t...

hello free members

Hi there! I noticed that there are quite some free members hanging out here.
I'd love to know more about you.

Who are you, what do you want/expect? I just saw this talk from the CEO of patreon about how he wants patreon to be a place not just for the superfans that are actively in the mo...

Speed of sound

This video is a collaboration with Levi McClain! he did the sounds and you can baarely see him in the reflection of the metal. In his video that'll be more obvious

Ratchet strap short nr 1, sounds only

Hi y'all,

Hope you're all doing well. Here's a sounds only version of the new video!

I'll be making 2 shorts (so one more) and a long video about ratchet straps, so buckle up

Now with music!

Music too loud/soft?

What about the title and thumbnail?

500k Q&A stream

Invisible on youtube, but I thought some of you might still enjoy, so here's last night's stream

500k Q&A

Gonna do a Q&A stream on youtube later today (probably)
Any questions to start the stream off with?

Patreon update incoming!

I'll be updating my patreon tiers soon, with some patreon only merch and some stuff like that.
No worry if you want to stay where you are. You can just stay in your current tier. The old tiers will just be hidden.

Here are some of the different color palettes I tried for the poster. Feel...

How I write my scripts

I'm not often asked how I write scripts, in comparison as to how I make my animations, but I think the script is actually just as important, and possibly quite a bit harder. That's because it's not immediately obvious if you do something wrong.

The method changes a lot from video to video. ...

Vibration (early access)

"Hard" sponsors

I like to talk a little bit about sponsors on here sometime, because for the foreseeable future they are the only way that I can make these videos full time. And I like to keep you all in the loop on that stuff.

Some sponsors are harder to incorporate than others. Sponsors for short fo...

Longitudinal waves (and some more animations)

Sound waves are often shown as a wiggly line. This line shows the change in pressure (usually air pressure). High points are higher and low points are lower pressure than the ambient air pressure.
It's a great visualization and it's so widely used for good reasons, but it also has two big prob...

Beatings

Two waves with slightly different wavelengths will produces so called 'Beatings'.

In some spots the two waves add together, while in others they cancel each other out. We perceive this as one sound that gets loud and quite in quick succession. In fact, the frequency of the change in amplitu...

standing wave

when two waves with the same frequency travel in opposite directions, they form a standing wave. A standing wave oscillates, but its peaks and troughs don't move. Their nodes and anti-nodes stay in the same place.

I've made these animations for the master thesis of my gf. They are free to ...

Noise Cancellation

I was supposed to collaborate with a saxophone player, but he's stopped responding. Gotta find someone else or do acapella sax-noises myself, lol. That would actually be hilarious now that I think of it

Springs 2

Why some springs are in fact made from square metal. The music/sound effects are still being made, but it might go online later this week

SAW filter short

Here's the short, which will also go live as soon as the music and sound effects of the long video are done :)

The tiny crystals in your phone

This is the first version of my 6 minute extravaganza about SAW filters. Music and sound effects are still in the works. 

If you have any feedback, let me know!

4K Wallpapers!

Was making some waves for my next long form video and thought these would make for some nice wallpapers. Paid members can request colors!
