Getting Started with Motion Graphics: Shape Layers Keyframe Academy 2021-08-13 | Shape Layers in Adobe After Effects are the backbone of motion graphics. Learn After Effects here: keyframeacademy.retrieve.com/store/#In this video I share everything you need to know to get started with shape layers. Shape layers are one of the foundations of every motion graphics piece. Since shape layers in After Effects are vector based, they are ideal for animation. Shape layers are used in character animations, explainer videos, transitions and broadcast packages. Understanding how shape layers work is important to becoming a creative motion designer. In this video, we go over the types of shape paths in After Effects and what is different about the two types of shape paths: Parametric and Bezier. There are distinct differences and it can sometimes be confusing.

Is Bao Bones the king of Character rigs? [After Effects 2021 Comparison] Keyframe Academy 2021-05-25 | #CharacterRig #CharacterAnimation #AfterEffectsThere are lots of tools to create character rigs in After Effects. Which tool should you use? Bao Bones is a great option for those who want to get good results fast!Bao Bones is a lesser known character rig tool among the list of many other more well known character rig plugins for After Effects on the market. 2d character animation is a skill more and more motion designers are equipping themselves with.Among the most popular Character Rig tools is DUIK, a free tool that makes creating limbs with inverse kinematics possible inside of After Effects. Sometimes it can feel like you’re fighting with DUIK rather than utilizing it to express your creativity. Then there are tools like Puppet tool, Limber or Character tool that are all different attempts at simplifying the process of creating character rigs in After Effects so that you can spend less time setting up everything up, and more time perfecting your animation. Bao Bones is a truly unique approach to character rigs in After Effects. Bao Bones is the only character rig tool that is a plugin and not a script. That means that it works faster, has better distortion and is optimized for performance...Or so they say. In this video, I share my experience using Bao Bones on a recent project. Bao Bones was a huge time saver for what I needed on this project and for that reason I feel like the purchase was worth it. But will Bao Bones be my go to character rigging tool for all future projects? I don’t think so. Bao Bones will however, be one of the many tools equipped to my After Effects tool belt.

How To Easily Achieve the hand-drawn look | After Effects 2020 Keyframe Academy 2020-03-25 | In this tutorial I walk through the process of creating the line boil effect commonly found in cel animation. This effect can give your animation a hand drawn look, and it is very easy to achieve. There are a lot of different ways to stylize your animations with in After Effects. Stylizing your animations can help to make them look a little bit more organic as it were. Sometimes animations can look a little too clean, and boring. By using this technique you can give your lines a pencil look with imperfections that come with using a pencil. Line boil happens in cel animation when an object is redrawn for every frame even when that object isn't moving. When this happens, because the lines wont always line up, they have a wobbly, boiling effect. We can replicate this effect in After Effects to give our clean, keyframed animations a more organic, hand drawn look. Like the music? I use soundstripe for all my music.

How to illustrate for Motion Graphics | Adobe Illustrator Keyframe Academy 2019-12-28 | In this video, I go over my approach to creating the illustrations for motion graphics using Adobe Illustrator. You can use this approach to create compelling illustrations.What is great about this approach is that it can be used by those who aren't good at drawing. By using simple shapes to create the basic silhouette of an object, and then use the additional tools Adobe Illustrator provides, you can make some really good illustrations despite not being a experienced artist. The best part? Nobody will be the wiser, and everyone will think you're some kind of artistic prodigy.Like the music? I use soundstripe for all my music.
