He has been using After Effects since version 5.5 (2002) and during his career has worked with clients ranging from multinational corporations and government institutions, to unsigned musicians and start up businesses, and all points in between. Freelancing is one of Evan's great joys since it connects him with new and interesting people, businesses, projects and ideas that he finds fascinating. He currently specializes in motion graphics and kinetic typography. Other fun facts about Evan: he is a 2nd\u00a0Dan Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do and he grew up in rural Ontario Canada next to a The Big Apple (a novelty truck stop). He is a huge fan of DIY projects and he holds a BA in Communications form Ottawa University.\u00a0 To get more of Evan in your life check out EvanAbrams.com, subscribe to his\u00a0Youtube Channel\u00a0or follow him on\u00a0Twitter.","sameAs":["http:\/\/evanabrams.com","https:\/\/x.com\/ECAbrams"],"url":"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/author\/evanabrams\/"}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/3d-edge-thumb.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pab9JK-akj","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39699","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39699"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39699\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39715,"href":"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39699\/revisions\/39715"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39788"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
