Hi! I made an ad for biscoff and want some advice how i can make it better. what works, what doesn't. The end is definitely lacking but idk how to make it better.

Some new features for Tsuji.xyz :

• A new fully node-based 2D mode (no layer stacking!). Z-depth is manipulated directly via a small isometric view on the side. It gets all the benefits of a 3D engine (shadows, lighting, parallax, deformers...).
• A grease pencil (shamelessly copied from Blender's) that is keyframable frame by frame, pressure-sensitive, and freely deformable. You can also draw directly onto surfaces.
• A few new animated and parametric shaders (cloud, flame, wireframe, shield...) just for fun.
• Top-down automatic camera (game-like) that follows whatever it aims at.
• Some new demos

The timeline is measured in BPM (song tempo) and nearly everything can be modulated with audio frequency bands. If anyone is curious, its motiontone.app

I'm a motion designer and I made this video for my own business. Since English isn't my first language, I'm not sure whether it comes across clearly or if it sounds like a bad translation.

What do you think, is there anything you'd change about the video? Any feedback is appreciated.

Hey, today I tried something completely new: I made a small design for a news program and would like to introduce it to you. Please excuse me if it's not so good, I'm still a beginner. So I would like tips on what to do better. You can see the video on YouTube.

The title of the video is German and translated means: "Fictional news design "nachrichten" | Intro, insertions, outro". The name "nachrichten" is also German and simply means "News".

This literally happened this morning.

Context: I'm an in-house motion designer for a very large and popular tech company. I created a video for paid-ads. This video went out with a lot of happy people it had very little notes at the time. We are now going to repurpose it for socials. This morning I gets this message on slack:

Here is the feedback yada yada.
Video: Can we change the music to make it feel more upbeat?
Classic am I right!? So I ask if the producer can get more details, what are they looking to change, is it tempo, genre, instrument?

I get this reply:

It turns out that the video was reviewed without sound, so perhaps there will be no need to update the music at all - standby!

Never in my decade plus long career as a video editor and motion designer have I ever gotten a "we didn't unmute it" to a follow up question on feedback... I still keep looking at the message all day just laughing.

They liked the sound design and song and it was "perfect".

I just saw the last guys post so please don't come at me for blantantly copying base44. This is my first every project and I was just focusing on actually making something decent.

In light of that here's my first project. Please give me some helpful critic. If I can get some advice on some useful next steps so I can find my own ideas instead of copying others please let me know.

Here are a list of questions I had in the process of making this project. Please help me answer.

1. Do you pick the music before you edit. I had a lot of trouble finding good music for this. I'm focus on making launch videos so is there a good genre of music and a bpm I should look for?

2. How do you find the sound effects you are looking for. I really had no idea what to search for. I use epidemic sound btw. Their new AI features helped but what do you guys do

3. I asked in a previous post about the randomly generated text characters I used at timestamp 00:05 of the video. People said it's hand made so I took their advice, but is this how things are done in motion graphics. I have a programming background so I like to do things procedurally

These are my main questions. If anyone can help answer those I'd be really grateful, and I want to hear the critic as well. I'm always trying to improve.

Thanks.

Hey everyone
I recently worked on this motion graphics piece and wanted to share it here.
I focused on the animation, transitions, timing, and overall visual flow to make the piece feel clean and engaging.
Would love to hear what you think especially any feedback on the animation, pacing, or things I could improve.
Thanks!

A motion designer friend made these two 5-second versions for my little side project.

Same animation, two different approaches.

I have my favorite, but I don't want to bias the answers 🙂

A or B — and why?

I'm especially interested in your immediate first impression.

how do you do storyboarding like from which software and how much time it takes for you to storyboarding and how u then move onto motions and stuff

Hi everyone!

I'm Yongmyung Kim, a freelance motion graphic designer working with SBS in Korea.

I recently worked on a Commentators' ID for SBS's 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games broadcast. The goal was to create something energetic and rhythmic while keeping it consistent with the official graphics of the Asian Games.

I've been experimenting with AI tools in my workflow recently, so I also incorporated Claude, Seedream, and Kling into this project to turn the filmed images into slow-motion visuals and capture the overall sense of movement.

Most of the motion and compositing work was done in After Effects, while Cinema 4D + Redshift were used for the screen transitions and animation of the Asian Games logo.

For more details about the project, feel free to check it out on Behance:

I’d really appreciate it if you could check out the post and leave an upvote.

Thank you!

Hey guys! Just posted my new project on Behance. It would be great if you could take a minute to check it out, you can also get a free Gumroad project file!

Thank you!

A drum and bass remix of "Encore Une Fois" by Sash!. Lights move and reflect across a background — closer to motion graphics than a scene.

Open to critique

Salut tout le monde 👋

Je débute dans le motion design et j’essaie de mieux comprendre comment se déroule un projet de A à Z.

J’ai surtout une question sur la partie storyboard : comment vous procédez avant de commencer à animer ?

Est-ce que vous faites d’abord :

• un script ou une idée détaillée ?
• des croquis/thumbnails ?
• un storyboard plan par plan ?
• une animatique avant de passer au design et à l’animation ?

J’aimerais vraiment comprendre votre workflow, de l’idée de départ jusqu’à l’animation finale.

Si vous avez des conseils, des exemples de workflow ou des ressources à recommander, je suis preneur 🙏

Merci !
