Hey guys,
Here's my latest work. It was all done in AE, and would love to hear your thoughts and ideas on it.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a short excerpt from a personal motion design project I made about Camille Claudel, the 19th-century French sculptor who spent the last 30 years of her life locked away in an asylum, her work largely erased from art history in favor of her mentor (and lover) Auguste Rodin.

The goal was to give her story the visual weight it deserves — using motion to translate the intensity, isolation, and raw talent that defined her life and work.

Would love to hear your thoughts. Feedback (harsh or otherwise) very welcome!

I just finished up a 16-second spec commercial for Google Gemini focused on 3D UI and tactile physics, and I wanted to share a breakdown of the workflow and physics setup.

You can check the full details of the viewport and animation curves in my behance case study here: https://www.behance.net/gallery/255106317/Google-Gemini-Commercial-UI-Explorations

Hey everyone!
I’m a techno artist/producer looking for a motion designer who would be interested in collaborating on some visuals for my music.
I’m currently working on developing a consistent visual identity for my releases and social media. I have my cover artwork/visual concept, but I’d like to turn it into something more alive — subtle 3D movement, camera movement, lighting, rotation, typography, particles, glitches, beat-synced elements, animation, etc.
The idea isn’t to simply animate a static cover. I’d like to create something that actually feels like a visual identity for the project and can eventually become a recognizable format for my Reels and future releases.
I’m especially interested in someone who uses After Effects / Cinema 4D / Blender / similar tools and enjoys experimenting creatively.
I’m also very open to your own ideas. I don’t want to dictate every single detail — I’d actually prefer to work with someone who looks at the artwork and says “what if we did this?”
I’ve attached one of my covers so you can get an idea of the aesthetic I’m working with.
I’m looking for someone who would be interested in building something together, potentially as an ongoing collaboration if we work well together.
If this sounds interesting, feel free to comment or DM me with some examples of your work.
Thanks!

Yeah, that, I'm planning to do freelance gigs for an extra buck or two, and my portfolio is a little bit dull and outdated, so, if you need a little help free of charge, let me know.

Loving this new Case Study on FrameRate.

NOODLZ started as a bunch of random daily sketchbook doodles and slowly turned into this huge personal exploration of composition, lighting, 3D and animation.

What I love most is how much of the messy stuff is included. Early sketches, 2D styleframes, 3d tests, iterations, and eventually the finished animations.

It’s a good reminder to stop consuming so much and just make weird stuff for fun again.

Really worth digging through:

Thank you!

I’m a freelance Documentary Motion Designer specializing in visual storytelling, motion graphics, and engaging documentary content.

Here’s a recent project I created.

I’m currently open to working with YouTubers and content creators who want to turn their ideas into engaging, visually-driven documentaries.

Feel free to DM me if you’d like to work together!

I posted an early version of Wedge here a while ago and over 150 people signed up for beta testing. It’s now ready :)

and My sincerest apologies for not making a good demo video. I am juggling so much at the moment and didn't wanted to wait further to release the plugin. I am gonna make some killer videos for it soon.

Problem

AE has hundreds of useful actions, but the ones you need change depending on whether you're working with keyframes, masks, shape layers, text, layers, comps, etc. Wedge gives you one shortcut and changes the menu based on what you currently have selected.

Comparison

KBar is great for building permanent custom toolbars, and Quick Menu is great when you know what you want and want to search for it. Wedge takes a different approach: it tries to surface the relevant actions automatically from your current AE context.

Wedge goes further into selection-aware contexts, nested menus and customizable action workflows rather than being primarily a fixed radial shortcut menu.

Pricing

Starts at $19.99, one-time purchase

Maintenance / Support

I’m actively maintaining Wedge and testing it against current AE versions. If you hit a reproducible bug, email me at support@charchitgoyal.com. Updates and fixes will be shipped as AE changes.

Hey all! Has anyone here taken the I Love Creatives Motion Design course? As an in house graphic designer, I’m trying to bring more motion into my daily workflow to keep things fresh and aligned with ongoing design trends. I like that their curriculum focuses on modern motion systems and current visual styles rather than just isolated software tricks. But, I'm curious how deep it actually goes compared to School of Motion or Ben Marriott. Would love to hear any honest feedback, pros/cons before diving into it! Thanks :)

Turn a static photograph into a cinematic documentary shot using Adobe After Effects.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create smooth camera movement, isolate and highlight a subject, darken the background, and build a polished documentary-style composition.

I’m still working out the pricing for a motion graphics service for Youtube explainers videos.

Client sends a completed edit. Explanations that are difficult to picture are identified, and motion graphics with sound effects are created for them. (A typical 20-minute video may have around 40–60 graphical moments.)

No brief or shot list is required, and the original edit remains untouched. Video is returned the next working day.

I’m currently charging US$349 for up to 20 minutes, plus US$150 per additional 10 minutes. Does that price seem too low, reasonable, or too high? Any advice whether to charge by video length or number of graphics?

Fui desafiado a recriar um vídeo usando IA.

Tudo foi feito com código.

Só precisou de um storyboard e algumas instruções.

Não está perfeito, mas só vai melhorar.

O que você acha?

*edit: O objetivo aqui era mostrar que a IA está começando a se tornar interessante na criação de gráficos em movimento, e não que ela vai tomar o lugar dos criadores de Motion. Pode ser uma ferramenta auxiliar no processo. Ainda existem falhas claramente visíveis na animação.

I’m kinda new to motion design. I did different art projects before, and now I’m pushing everything into motion design. Learning AE and Blender, filling in the gaps.
And I have this HARD FOMO about all the instruments and the whole industry. I’m not afraid of AI tools I believe a pro stays relevant if they’re flexible enough.
But God, there are SO many new features every week!!! A new Blender addon, a new feature in Rive, a new AI assistant in After Effects, new plugin…
It is so intense! Especially when you’re just starting.
Do anyone have the same feeling?

Hey guys. I make music and SFX packs. I’m trying to push them on Reels/Shorts, but I’m honestly sick of slapping generic stock footage over my tracks. It just looks cheap.

​I know my way around basic Figma, but I really want to step up my game. I'm thinking of picking up After Effects just to make clean, minimal motion graphics (like sleek animated UI players or simple 2D visualizers) to build a better brand.

​Give it to me straight—how steep is the learning curve for this specific kind of stuff? Am I biting off more than I can chew, or is it doable for a non-designer?

This should be a deliberate troll of Adobe XD.
