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. It's affordable, and they have a really great library. You can view all the music at this link.

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.
