My Manim Post-Production Workflow and Tips

5 minute read

I have recently finished publishing a series of animated Linear Algebra videos on inner product spaces, which were created with the animation tool Manim and in collaboration with Animathica throughout three whole years. For each video, I wrote a script, directed a team of undergraduate students from UNAM’s Faculty of Sciences as they began to animate each scene, polished both the script and animations into their final form, recorded the script narration and background music, and edited everything together. I now want to write down some of what I’ve learned.

Thesis Writing Advice (Before I Forget…)

6 minute read

Published:

I recently finished writing a somewhat long Master’s thesis (~200 pages) in a fairly decent amount of time (about 13 months passed in between the day my advisor shared the two main articles it was to be based on -which appear cited as [Büh10] and [NP19]- with me and the day it was officially registered after being approved by a jury of 5 -without including my advisor), and learned a ton while doing so. Since many of my friends are currently in the process of writing a Master’s or undergraduate thesis, I wanted to write down some advice that can hopefully be of use to them and to others (including future me!), starting with advice given to me by others and then moving on to my own learnings.
