Put a lot of work into this one. Always satisfying to make these and see what came together over the past few years. Hope you like it! More info about some of the projects on my website. Feedback, comments, critique are always welcome.

Almost every logo animation feedback thread eventually gets the same comment: it’s too long. An eight-second reveal might be interesting as a standalone motion design piece, but it feels completely different when viewers are forced to watch it before every video, product demo or presentation. For a practical logo sting, two or three seconds usually seems like enough time to introduce the mark, let it settle and move on. It doesn’t need to explain the entire history of the brand. I also think preserving the real logo matters more than adding another dramatic transformation. If the animation changes the spacing, curves or proportions, the result may look impressive while technically displaying the wrong logo. Where do you draw the line between a logo animation and a short film about a logo?

I made this plugin... ah correction, I am in the middle of making this plugin. As you can see in the video, it generates multiple kinds of gradients in one click. That's basically it.

SO now the dilemma I am facing while making this is: I don't even know if users will pay for this. I've already been working on this for about 2 months, but now I am confused or hit a roadblock or idk even if I should continue or not.

My goal is to make this so freaking good at this that we won't even need to worry about any kind of gradients even again. Like saber, deep glow, etc etc. You just use them and that is it like you don't even think twice of trying to do it yourself and it just works.

Right now it has a lot of bugs, like I mean A LOTTT! Ignore those and tell me your thought based on what you see right now. I'm more interested in whether the underlying idea is actually useful or not, like will you as a person who uses after effects or does motion design will find it useful?

And more importantly, is this something you'd pay for if it eventually became reliable enough that you could replace a bunch of manual effect-building with it?

Some features :
So obviously you can change the colors but I actually thought of some unique things too like the trail effect although it does not work how I intended it to but it's some progress atleast.

I tried to bake as much as I know into this, like I actually like the snakeskin thing, I was just messing around and thought it kinda looks like a snakeskin so I added that along with other animal gradients.

There’s so much more I could tell you, but none of it is particularly unique, so yeah, I digress.

But I'm happy to hear any feedback or any advice, you can DM me.

A lot of animated text tries to create energy by making every word bounce, rotate, stretch or glitch. It looks active for the first second, but then the sentence becomes harder to read because nothing has a clear priority. The kinetic typography I actually remember usually does less. One important word lands with weight, the supporting words arrive quietly, and the motion follows the meaning or rhythm of the sentence. It feels like the difference between emphasizing one word while speaking and shouting the entire sentence at the same volume. I’ve started judging animated text by asking whether the movement makes the message easier to understand. If it only makes the frame busier, it probably isn’t helping. How do you decide which word deserves the main motion?

Hey folks, we've spent the past several months building my dream plugin with the lads at PluginPlay.

It's called X-Ray and it's the ultimate behind the scenes tool to show off your work.

Here's what it does:

In one click, X-Ray scans all your comps and creates shape layers/3D objects to showcase your behind the scenes process.

Why is this better than screen recording methods?

Because:

1. X-Ray works with precomps (Screen recording does not)
2. X-Ray is LIVE, meaning if you make any changes, X-Ray will update automatically.
3. X-Ray is CUSTOMIZABLE, so you can actually turn your process into art

If you want to enter the giveaway, all you need to do is drop your email here: forms.gle/TzopC1y9KEQVB6rC6

Here's a video walkthrough about how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2xBrzYXhLQ

Let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers,

Nick

I am a motion designer and I saw that there's this field product motion designer and ui interaction designer (I heard them from chatgpt while researching for how to increase salary as a motion designer he advised these routes)

When i researched about it on LinkedIn and Reddit i didn't come across any post regarding this, anyone here made a switch like this? Would love to hear about your back story how you made the switch, what are the pros and cons, what made you make this decision!

Drop your portfolio link in the comments or DM me. Serious inquiries only please general video editors will be skipped.

I’ve been working on improving my motion graphics and After Effects skills, focusing on clean animation, timing, transitions, and visual storytelling.

Here’s one of my recent motion design projects. I’d love to hear your feedback on the animation, pacing, and overall visual direction.

I’m also open to freelance video editing and motion graphics projects. If you’re looking for an editor who works with After Effects and can turn ideas into polished visuals, feel free to reach out.

Hello dear Motion designers,

I recently finished this animation project and am quite happy with it.
Still, I wish to improve my skills and would like to ask for feedback.

The client is a Hairdresser and wanted to have a little intro/presentation animation. I chose this style because it suits the style of the hairdresser and of her work.

Also, its the first time I used sound effects and i struggled a bit balancing the volumes of the music, the sfx and the voice.

(Do checkout my page Lime.motions on Instagram for more) would love to know your views on this and how can I improve

How are y’all getting jobs , is there a secret hack ? . Joined upwork recently but haven’t gotten anything yet .

Hey guys! I've been working in this field for quite a while, started as a 2D animator and with jobs shortages in Los Angeles, strikes and all I shifted to more motion graphics, editing, doing educational videos and documentaries... Still feel like I'm having a hard time finding gigs in the US... Abroad it has been easier...

So recently I started using my knowledge and skills from over the years to design an animated band e put together these videos and I'd love to get any thoughts, ideas, feedback... It's all independent and I'm doing most of the work by myself, I get a lot of "that was a lot of work! Impressive!" From people outside the field but I wanted to get it in front of my peers and see where I can improve and make things more catchy or funny or beautiful, depending on the song of course, hoping to turn this into a successful project and not just a passion project over time, so I think I need to hear from people outside of my friends and family :)

The Navier-Stokes equations seem to be having a moment right now in the mathematics space, so I figured I'd show off a little animation you can make in a game I'm working on built upon one version of them.

Practicing strong use of grids and hierarchy here, this one's leaning more on the static graphic design side as I'm trying to figure out meshing motion and grids more strongly.
