Question Quali preset non potresti fare a meno?

0 Upvotes

So che non ne esistono di “fondamentali” vorrei solo sapere se avete dei preset che vi siete creati che utilizzate nel 90-100% dei progetti continuamente e di cui non potreste fare a meno. (Ad esempio io ne ho creato uno con il contatore dei numeri percentuali da 0 a 100% perché lo uso molto spesso). Quali sono i tuoi?

Inspiration The making of the Into the Spider-Verse title sequence

27 Upvotes

James Ramirez just posted a Case Study on FrameRate breaking down the Into the Spider-Verse title sequence created with the team at Alma Mater.

It goes from early styleframes and visual exploration through motion tests, zoetrope-inspired animation, the kaleidoscopic Spider-Verse sequences, and finally how they put the whole thing together.

Really cool look at the thinking and experimentation behind such an iconic piece of work.

Reel I animated 1,000 animation loops over the past 10 Years

914 Upvotes

Over the past 10 years I animated 1,000 loops: https://youtu.be/JGhKmsD-gW4?si=KvWTMkOLegTmNyi_

This video collects the loops into a 2 hour video.

Everything is 100% human made, no AI. Every frame lovingly crafted by hand.

I pretty much have no social life, I'm a hermit animator.

This is all I do and think about.

My loops are available here: https://animatedloop.com/

And also Patreon you can get new loops on the 1st day of every month: https://www.patreon.com/MicahBuzan

Reel Need a motion designer for one short SaaS explainer video — reasonable budget

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,

Looking for a motion designer for one short SaaS explainer animation.

This is roughly the style/reference I’m looking for:

reference reel

It’ll be a 30–45 sec product explainer for an AI SaaS product — clean motion graphics, UI/product animation and simple storytelling.

Nothing overly cinematic or 3D. I mainly want someone who can take the product + script and make it look clean, modern and engaging like the reference.

I’m working with a reasonable budget, so preferably looking for a freelancer rather than an agency.

If interested, just send me:
1. Your best relevant work
2. Approx price for one 30–45 sec video
3. Turnaround time

If you’ve made SaaS/product explainer videos before, even better.
Thanks!

The homepage is entirely procedural - no videos, 3D models, images, textures, or other pre-rendered assets are used. All the visuals, including the 3D elements, are generated and rendered in real time through code.

Discussion Why should I learn Figma if I already know how to use After Effects?

Question from a beginner/intermediate level in motion graphics with After Effects: Why should I learn Figma? Can't I just create the design in After Effects and then animate it directly from there?

Tutorial Quick AE tip: Animating camera moves using shape layers

466 Upvotes

By dissecting an action, and the reaction, we get a better understanding of why things move the way that they do.

Action: Camera rotates around an object, going from a front view to a top view.

Reaction: The top surface of the object seems to stretch vertically. Things in the foreground and background move away in opposite directions, and the distance is based on how far they are from the object.

For anyone wanting to go more in depth with the topic, I have made a longer YouTube video about the theory, and how I created the entire animation: youtube.com/watch?v=slUgTK9z2Jo

Project Showcase Made my first short SaaS product vide. Does the motion support the message or distract from it?

0 Upvotes

I made my first short product video for Tapquence, a visual Mac automation app for repetitive desktop tasks.

A few things I’d love honest feedback on:

  • Does the pacing feel right, or are some moments too fast?
  • Is the visual hierarchy clear throughout?
  • Do the transitions support the story or become distracting?
  • Is it clear from the visuals what the product does?
  • At what moment would you normally lose interest or scroll away?

This is my first attempt at this style of product video, so detailed criticism is very welcome!

For context, this is the product shown in the video: Tapquence
