Nodes to dog filter

I’ll be honest with you but I wasn’t looking forward to this at all. Making filters isn’t my thing and needing to do a sample video and post them literally on tiktok was something my anxiety wasn’t enjoying. It still isn't. I hate looking at my face I hate just altering it even with funny stuff I just don’t like looking at myself but it got better as it went on. Still was not happy about needing to use myself as an example but I just got it done and didn’t look at it again. It was fun though using blender and finally learning how to work everything. Effect house is also fun yet just as challenging. I tried to stick with an animal theme so I did a spinning and bouncing static dog, deer ears, and some dragon horns with jewelry. It was to help challenge me with new objects and sculpting but also carrying things over from the bird project. Originally the deer would toggle between female and male so male would get antlers but I was overwhelmed and scratched it. Dragon horns would have had dynamic moving jewelry but I don’t think it would have carried to the effect house so I scratched it too but made up for it with face effects. People seem to like it. It has almost 30 videos so it makes me happy. The dog was the same as it was when I thought of it. I just wasn’t able to get it to spawn on a flat surface naturally like those kinds of videos you see where you try and find the dancing guy and sometimes they’re huge or really small or behind you. I was hoping to get to that but found no tutorials anywhere so I tried to do what I could. If you tap it it will slowly vanish but the moment you stop he comes running back.
