The world is pretty weird at the moment, but now I've got free-time to make videos again :) I'm rusty at making tutorials, but had a lot of fun with this experiment. Proxies, RepeTile, Dynamics, tricks and tips!
Anyway, during this quarantine/lockdown I've made a ton of throwaway visual experiments out of boredom, and finally recorded todays. One of my main gigs a couple years ago was making concert visuals for EDM shows, and now I find the process really relaxing without setting a ton of keyframes or thinking a lot.

OTHER STUFF (note about channel)
\/ \/
Sorry I've been gone for so long! Real videos on their way! I've been changing a ton of things, but also have been spending a ton of time animating.
A bunch of new things happened this year, and it became hard to keep up with YouTube. It felt weird to stop uploading, because it was so fun. But I also needed to focus on becoming a better motion designer, and decide what I'm "really" doing. So I moved out to Denver, and have been figuring it out : )
Last year I got to develop a ton as an animator, designer and tool builder. Which means I have a lot to share with you soon! Over this year I also teamed up with some buddies to make even better tools. More on that another time ...
Anyway I've got a chance to immerse myself in the world of motion, and it's been awesome, but real weird to be gone.
I can't wait to share new stuff with you, and thanks for sticking around. See you soon — and thanks for supporting Mt. Mograph. -MattSummit 83 - Net Neutrality Effect - After EffectsMt. Mograph2017-12-08 | It's important to keep our internet open, it brings everyone together.
Net neutrality keeps ideas and content uncensored or restricted. Throttled connections, sites hidden by paywalls and censorship is a step backwards. Ain't nobody got time for that :)
* Oh yeah, I finally have some sweet new content landing soon! I took a year to figure out what I wanted to do career-wise, and settle down in Denver, Colorado. It's been a pretty busy last 12-months, and it's felt strange to not been around to upload.
Anyway, I've got the move figured out and can finally relax and start uploading again! I'm psyched! I'm bringing some badass new techniques I've learned over this past year, and hopefully it will be a good time.

Thank you to the awesome people who suggested the better solutions!
Today we're going to explore a way to "hack" strokes in After Effects. Sometimes working with strokes is no fun — and sometimes just plain annoying. Check out this simple way to 1)nerd out and 1) fix two odd issues with Strokes and Scaling.

This is a new series that isn't a typical start to finish Summit (full project). So, just like climbing a mountain — there are stops along the way. Instead of restocking supplies, we'll be restocking our tool arsenal. Don't forget to stick around for the Brain Blast for even more complex/advanced systems! Hope you enjoy the views at Camp 1: Particle Peak (a made up place on a made up mountain)

Today we take a look at 're-learning' the basics. Along the way we'll build an Apple-esque text animation to go over some examples. It's all about saving time with motion graphics! Thanks for watching!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Summit 79 - Creating Silky Smooth Eases in After EffectsMt. Mograph2016-04-03 | Summit 79 - Creating Silky Smooth Eases in After Effects
Today we'll look at two easy tricks to put your keyframes at ease (full of jokes today). I've always found that setting up a 'base' animation is a great to way to make headway on a project - especially with a tight deadline. Then I like to circle back and use these two tricks and expressions to "sweeten" up the animation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Summit 78 - 5 Underground Tricks for After EffectsMt. Mograph2016-03-30 | Summit 78 - 5 'Underground' Tricks for After Effects

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Summit 77 - Cloth Simulated Fire - C4DMt. Mograph2016-02-24 | Summit 77 - Cloth Simulated Fire
We're back! Today we'll tackle creating a versatile fire animation inside Cinema4D and a touch of After Effects. This is a great way to start creating cloth simulations and dynamics.
If you liked this video or found it interesting, leave a comment or like below! Thanks for supporting Mt. Mograph!
Today's we will take a closer look at using Expressions and code to optimize our animations. In this example we'll create an "auto-rig" for a stylized shadow. The shadow will automatically move and resize based on the code we write!
Although it's a simple example and simple code, it has tons of practical uses! From characters to motion tracking, you don't have to be a nerd to love saving time!
If expressions and code are something you're interested in, leave a comment! Thanks for checking out Mt. Mograph!

Finally! In Summit 75 (can't believe we got here) we're going to go over a technique I use for setting up pseudo 2.5D/3D head turns in After Effects. We'll go through general character setup, work our way through a couple methods of the head turns,, harness expressions for easier animation and use a FREE tool called Animo to bring it all together!
Thanks so much for supporting Mt. Mograph! Every comment, like or view truly means a lot! I can't even put it into words - but sincerely thanks for watching, you guys always brighten my crappy days!
Today we're going to take a look at the fantastic Rubberhose tool for After Effects. A unique way to create characters without the hassle of Puppet Pins and hundreds of layers. We'll go through a basic overview of the tool and how to set up a character using a couple cool tricks!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Focus - AVAILABLE NOW! - A Reimagined WorkflowMt. Mograph2015-09-08 | Focus - A Reimagined Workflow!
[ABOUT] Focus was developed to answer the question, "How can complex animations become easier to manage?" Throughout development it became clear there was no easy answer. So Focus has been packed with features you won’t find anywhere else.
At its most basic, Focus is the “solo track” of audio programs - reimagined for animation in After Effects. Dig in deeper and you'll find tons of powerful tools and functionality tucked beneath the surface.
Focus is packed with features you won’t find anywhere else. From a infinite custom Tagging System, to variable Focus Depth. If you have a deadline to meet, a difficult animation, or a project that has your head spinning — you'll find it helps to Focus.
Today we're kicking off new Mt. Mograph videos in style! Let's create an intricate and complex "greeble" build on effect for your Logos and Text! I can guarantee you'll have fun with this video. I'm pretty sure I spaced off a couple times looking at the animation haha

Today's Summit covers a ton of fun little things - from small little keyboard shortcuts, to hacks to get tools to work better! Enjoy!
What's up fellow mograph peeps! Today's Summit goes over a sneaky little trick to speed up realistic looking renders. Using a Cloud PNG, or any PNG object, we'll cut down render time! Using the Alpha channel and a couple other tricks to add a little "magic" to our animation!
In today's Summit we're going create a high-end network identity for a fake company. We'll focus on using simple tricks and fast timing to make this piece pop!
We'll start getting into using Expressions to enhance our animations, staggering an animation and using the Set Matte tool to cut corners. Although those are the main points we'll cover a bunch of little tips along the way!
In today's Summit we're going to use C4D and integrating it with After Effects. We'll use these two programs to cut down render times and create "complex" animation.
First we will create a simple scene to get a base. Then we will use the Camera Object to shortcut your animation to the next level. You might have seen this style on networks like Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network. Create kid friendly dynamic animations - or at least get you started with today's Summit!

Since the initial launch of Motion V1 in August, the feedback and support from the motion graphics community has been incredible! That's why I've worked so hard to bring an update that will truly show how much I appreciate the support.
QUICK LINKS (in the spirit of speeding your workflow jump to any section!):
The update to Motion V2 includes 20 powerful tools to put the power in your hands and the punch back in your keyframes. The new interface is smaller and the code is faster. The goal with Motion V2 - was to create an "animation wingman". Motion V2 is here to speed your workflow and give you tools to help bring your projects to life.
