Something I've been trying to work on more and more. Not sure if any of you guys do any motion work.

    Breaking Bad Intro. Overall pretty complete. Still wanted to go back and fix some of the camera work, and mess with the chemistry scene. But I lost my main working file cause I'm an idiot.

  • dougie said about 1 year ago

    Incredible David! Love the transitions of the various elements from one to another, particularly the car skidding across the screen.

  • Kyle Crawford said about 1 year ago

    super nice

  • Smiths Canvas said about 1 year ago

    Thanks man! I'm really loving motion work. It's a whole new challenging world. Still got a lot to catch up on and learn, but it's been a lot of fun so far.

    Cool graphics - but the Music cuts out pretty sharp at the end

    Yup. It kills me too. But like I said above I fucked up my working file this morning. Was actually going to to fix the music and a few other things this morning. Too de-motivated to go back and work off of a render.

    Thanks guys!

    Awesome dude! Love the floating 'dust' and the graphic feel. Way to go. Did you use Flash?

    Nah all After Effects. Haven't touched flash in years.

    How many work hours go into something like this?

  • khay said about 1 year ago

    This is dope! Looking forward to learning AE in later semesters.

    MainframeMedia said:How many work hours go into something like this?

    A lot more production hours than anything else I'm involved in.

    This project was spread over 4 weeks. Actual AE work was around 30-40hrs. Plus all the time actually illustrating and prepping the assets.

    thanks man, that's trapcode particular. It's a plug in, but you can do some pretty sweet stuff with it.

    Ill try to upload some more stuff soon, Id like to see some life in this thread.

    I've messed a little with trapcode. I'll check it out more. Yeah I'd like to see more too from others. Going to try to post a lot more often.

    Do you do this as a job Deal or just something on the side?

  • derekdeal said about 1 year ago

    ive been doing mostly video editing with a little bit of motion graphics full time for the last 9 months. Its what i went to school for but the first time it's been my main discipline. What about you, is this a school thing?

    Yeah school, but something I've been considering more and more to get into after school.

  • JeffByNight said about 1 year ago

    Dude that Breaking Bad intro is fucking awesome, do more

  • heat. said about 1 year ago

    yeah so good, the dexter one was pretty neat too.

  • Flower Children said about 1 year ago

    Looks all really good. Would be nice to see more stuff!

  • DeeDeeKid said about 1 year ago

    Both video posts are awesome! I'm totally into motion graphics but it's always pretty hard if you sit down for a whole day and the result is a 2-seconds-clip.

    I did this for a university class and it was fun as i tried some whole new techniques I've never done before:

    Very dope, AE as well?

  • Smiths Canvas said about 1 year ago

    Since I've had a new found focus in motion work I thought I would start a separate blog to catalogue it. Check it out and follow it, I will start updating it regularly with new work/experiments/inspiration.

    I wish I still had the videos I made back in the day, so much fun putting shit to music, you've got me inspired to get back into man, thanks.

  • Jandro said about 1 year ago

    does anyone have experience animating characters? It's something I really want to get into and was just wondering what the best software would be, especially if I wanted to make the animation in the more traditional hand-drawn style.

  • Jandro said about 1 year ago

    the only thing I've done was as a gif piece by piece in photoshop.

    Not a whole lot of motion work going on here. Mostly my amateur video work. A little promo for one of the JC shirts I recently did.



    *What's the trick to embed Vimeo content?

  • Serji Gold said about 1 year ago

    Just post the URL.

    Looks incredible man! If you don't mind, what kind of camera did you use/how'd you do that crazy bokeh transition?

  • Smiths Canvas said about 1 year ago

    Thanks Serji. That's odd I thought I did just post the URL. Whatever.

    @Drew It's just a Canon T3i. Bokehhhhhhh. Ha the transitions are just some lights me and a buddy filmed on the way back from LA with a super low F stop.

  • Serji Gold said about 1 year ago

    Yours seems to be coming from https for some reason, so I'm guessing that's the reason. Lovely video regardless!

    Yup that did the trick.

  • DeeDeeKid said about 11 months ago

    I finally finished this animated short I did for an university course.
    Hopefully I got the time now to post more often on here again.

    Put on some cyan/red 3D glasses if you got a pair at home:



    (I also made a fake movieposter for it but I guess it's the wrong thread for it...)

  • monkeyballz said about 11 months ago

    That was awesome DeeDeeKid. Wish I had 3d glasses here at work.

  • Jason Carne said about 11 months ago

    That was awesome - I wish I could find my 3D glasses though.

  • Killer Napkins said about 11 months ago

    wow that was super cool man!

  • devinandaniels said about 11 months ago

    All of this work is amazing! I'm starting to learn AE. Do any of you guys ever mess around with kinetic typography? Like lyric videos for bands.
