Today on Video Copilot, Andrew Kramer takes us on an exhilarating journey into the world of creating stock elements for visual effects and motion graphics. Drawing inspiration from iconic shows like Stranger Things, the team sets out to craft original textures for creatures and aliens. Armed with ingredients like Nutella, marshmallows, and industrial slime, they embark on a quest for the perfect alien skin texture.
