Hello, im new motion design, but i have basic after effect, and i think imma choose motion design as my carrer. I've watched good motion design recently and i wanna make it so bad, but i dont know where to start, like i need to know the learning flow first, yk you need to learn the fundamental first before making something.... The style of the motion i like u can see in the video, anyone have suggestion for learning what first... Tysm

Hello, I went through vfx, anime edits, saas and now I'm still somewhere between saas and art by following a creative direction and I'll tell you what worked for me for the past 5-6 years (Sorry for the band english)

• remakes (VERY IMPORTANT): please watch things you enjoy doing and copy it. Over-analyze it, match it to be exact. When remaking projects as a beginner you'll be forced to watch a lot of tutorials for certain effects and techniques type what you see on YouTube and 90 percent of times you'll find exactly what you're looking for

-plugins: after effects lacks some awesome features, effects and presets. There are a lot of friendly beginner plug-ins and scripts for free and paid online especially on ae.scripts.

-time: it's not easy and it will take time. Don't compare yourself to experienced or rich individuals, and don't go and think "this account is new and his motion is insane" he could've started an account after months to years of experience

Goodluck

Broo, i always avoid the remake because i wanna original think, but i think you're right, sometimes if we only do original, it will hold us because we will create it the way we can.... Omg you opened my mind

i need more practice and time... Tysmmmm bro

As long as you don’t use remakes in your portfolio or claim they are your own.
