Relearning After Effects - Rolling Cylinder FX
8/6/25
Ok, now THIS one was a lot of fun to mess around with! Not only did this require me to experiment more with the value graph and keyframes within After Effects, but it also required me to get more comfortable with using Illustrator.

Relearning After Effects - Infinite Scrolling BG

8/1/25
I almost forgot to post this😅. Alongside the liquid Fractal Motion BG and the liquid fractal typography FX, I was also focusing more on scrolling backgrounds and improving the timing to make them loop seamlessly.

Going back to the "Drip" post I made, I wanted to experiment further with using my own liquid fractal motion FX (from last post) and try to apply it back into this FX.

I wanted to experiment more with fractal noise since I found it to be extremely crucial to many different motion graphic effects. I followed another amazing tutorial by @sonduckfilm (On YT) that highlighted how to create this fractal map!

Relearning After Effects - Water Text FX (Part 2)

7/4/25

After messing around with the effect some more, I found that changing some settings in the CC Mr.Mercury FX can change the overall water text effect drastically. This was made by changing the X and Y Radii settings🔥

Starting in July, I continued to work on different types of motion graphic effects with different typography. During this, I found another gem from Pelle Sjoberg (on YouTube) showing how to create a waterfall-esque effect for typography.

Relearning After Effects - CC Sphere & Looping Grids

6/19/20

😅This is kind of a continuation of the last post, just with the addition of the “CC Sphere” FX. Instead of rotating the grid, I left them on the sides and adjusted the tile center from the “Motion Tile” FX.

After learning about making a glitch transition FX, I wanted to learn more about other FX that After Effects had to offer. The next steps I took led me to learn more about creating both gradients and dithering effects within After Effects.
