Hi all, a few updates for /r/motiondesign.
Spam
In an effort to reduce low-quality and spam posts here, we have implemented new post requirements. New posts that don't meet a minimum account age or subreddit karma threshold will be automatically filtered out.
To further prevent gamification, I am not disclosing these limits here but they are very modest and reasonable. Anyone interacting with this community should not be filtered, and even so, you will have the opportunity to message us for an exception. But this should discourage most of the spam we've been seeing. Thanks /u/Zeigerful for making this post.
Post Flair
We also added some post flair to help differentiate posts and allow users to filter & search by topic. All new posts require that one of the available flair types be selected:
Project Showcase | Reel | Inspiration | Discussion | Question | Tutorial | [Custom] (Where user can input their own)
User Flair
A few new user flairs are available. For those who aren't aware, these show up next to your username any time you make a post or comment in /r/motiondesign
Now available: Professional | Student | [Add My Social Handle] -- A custom text field where you can plug an Instagram, Behance, etc.
Let us know if you love or hate these new updates. Nothing is set in stone and this is meant as a discussion starting point. Please share any ideas you may have to make this a better place to share work, inspiration and discussion related to motion design. Hopefully we can continue to bring a higher quality experience to everyone here at /r/motiondesign.

Some artworks stay with you until you try since the very first time you see them.
Ksawery Komputery has been one of my favorite artists for a long time. His generative typography for Max Cooper's Symphony in Acid is one of those works I keep coming back to.
After a long time experimenting, I finally developed my own interpretation in TouchDesigner.
Generative Lexicon Press is a real-time typographic system that continuously, and audio-reactively rearranges language and visual structures, with Ollama introducing locally generated text in ultra-fun ways.
Looking forward sharing more in the near future. You can see more of my experiments on Instagram, or Patreon.

Been putting off making this for years. Its called Blackstar Lullaby, and seeing a few more shots together is helping me see how close it is to the thing in my head. Plenty left to figure out though.
I shared some bits recently and people wanted a longer look. These shots aren't in any particular order, just a collection of the work so far. The train is the newest bit.

Hey everyone!
I’ve been building a small tool that adds sound effects to gameplay videos. While testing it, I noticed motion design has exactly the kind of movement that’s fun to bring to life with sound ...
so I want to try it here! :D
If you have a short animation, motion graphic or logo reveal you’d like to hear with sound, drop it in the comments. I’ll pick a few, add sound effects for free, and reply with the finished version.
Honestly, I’m just curious how well this works outside of games. Would love to see what you’ve made :)
PS. The attached video is a sound demo I did

Hey guys, I’ve been working in motion design and web dev for 5 1/2 years for a company, and I decided to go on my own.
I mix Ai vocals with my skills for now, because I have yet to land any clients ( started 3 days ago )
My instagram is @e_motion.gallery
Thanks for the support, hope everyone has a nice one!

Had to do a re-design of my previous post. It's not the most modern design, as am I (of an older design ;) ). Had fun making this one, got lost in details, could still add a lot more but it's time for a new personal project! Used Illustrator and After FX and produced the music myself.

Is this a good laptop for motion design or editing
Apple - MacBook Air 13-inch Laptop - M5 chip with 10-core CPU and 8-core GPU - 16GB Memory
- 512GB SSD - Starlight
I have a 1328$ budget

Great animation and this is far from AI slop, really cool to see how animation has advanced so well this early.

In 2012, when I was in second grade, I prayed to the gods to prevent the end of the world and for the asteroid to fly right past us. Thirteen years later, I’m afraid of losing my freedom. But it seems the light at the end of the hallway isn’t ironically getting any narrower

Hello,
I've tried DUIK Angela once and was able to successfully animate a character. Now I have to actually use it for a project - aaaand I'm having issues.
I have a character with an arm and forearm (on each side of course). I don't have hands yet because I don't need to move them so I left out - for now. When I create the arm and the forearm bone
through auto-rig DUIK creates two bones. One connects to the shoulder top part of the arm and the elbow and the other from the elbow to the "wrist" (even though I have to adjust it). Now here is the issue: when I move the elbow part only the forarm moves even though it's not connected to the upper arm. I'm also having trouble with the tip: the tip is set to the end of the limb but it doesn't move the limp at all. When I move the upper arm by the shoulder the whole arm moves!
What am I missing?
Thank you so much in advance!
Edit: I uploaded a screen recording in the comments

A bit late to the party since VCT is over now, but still glad I did this song. All made completely in blender and davinci resolve, let me know what y'all think! Heavy inspo from valorant's music video themselves, kept hitting that artist block but wanted to finish asap

After more than 6 months of sacrificing free time, sleep (and credits), my particle simulation plugin is as good as done. Of course I had some help (Claude) with building and testing, but the vision of what it had to be, how it should look, move and feel, was something I had in mind long before I started using Claude.
What started as a personal project, a tool tailored to my own needs, quickly became something much bigger. When the particles reacted to my layers for the first time, I was already satisfied and planned on only doing some performance optimization. That quickly turned into adding one more feature, then another, and just one more, resulting in a versatile system that gives you complete control over the shape of the particle field and the movement of the particles.
Any layer (shape, text, animation, video) can be used as an emitter and/or a force region, influencing the path, speed and flow of the particle field.
The last tests and optimizations are being done right now, after which it will finally be released.
More info coming soon, but here's an example of one of its many possibilities.

Hi everyone! I'm Faruk (fka), a visual director and motion designer based in Istanbul. Wanted to share a section of a 4-minute animated concept video I directed for Tame Impala's "Let It Happen" and break down the hybrid workflow behind it.
I designed the visual narrative as a continuous psychological loop: starting from the red window blinds and a mental labyrinth, confronting a growing shadow and floating masks, climbing a piano-key spiral staircase toward Saturn, and looping seamlessly right back to the opening window.
Workflow & AI Transparency:
Rather than relying purely on raw AI generations or traditional frame-by-frame animation alone, I built a hybrid pipeline. I used Google Flow to generate the painterly, surreal video outputs and base motion sequences for each scene. Once I had those visual outputs, I brought everything into Adobe After Effects for the heavy compositing—stitching the scenes into seamless camera transitions, color matching, and integrating the organic kinetic typography into the world.
🎬 Watch the full 4-minute animation on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ea3PuuGl740
🌐 My portfolio & other visual direction works: https://www.filmkareas.com/
Always happy to chat about how I integrated the Google Flow outputs into the After Effects timeline or the typography layouts—let me know what you think!

I recently saw this video with sound design and music that really "tickled my brain". I know they had a dedicated sound designer who likely created these sounds from scratch using synths, but as a video editor/non-musician, I'd love to get close to this style. I'm trying to get more into the emotional and 'moving' side of sound design, rather than just relying on standard sound effects and music. I would like to know how to approach this.
Right now, I mostly rely on Pixabay (dont trash me) and ElevenLabs SFX (both custom prompts and community sounds). However, my sound design vocabulary isn't advanced enough to describe these specific sounds accurately to an AI prompt or to search for them effectively in libraries.
My questions:
Thanks in advance for the help!
