Reworked a lame dino joke for a Risograph animation workshop with @kellianderson.bsky.social (u prep, she prints & scans, you reassemble).

I've been exploring ways to emulate this vibe in After Effects (+ Photoshop?): this both gave some great insights and was lots of fun! 🦖

A little shift in perspective can go a long way. Today on Motion Design Hotline, @ecabrams.bsky.social & I are exploring perspective-shifting transitions in After Effects.

If motion design edu-tainment existed around the time
@ecabrams.bsky.social & I were born, it would look something like this? This week on Motion Design Hotline, we boot up some retro-futuristic FUI (fictional user interfaces) in After Effects.

If you liked my grotesque turkey animation, but wished it was more overtly political and even less appealing to look at, you're in luck!

🎶 (The Cure: "Never Enough")

You turkeys keep sending us questions about the crazy collage style made famous by Ariel Costa (aka BlinkMyBrain), so this week @ecabrams.bsky.social & I are taking a few nibbles at that recipe.

It's what's inside that counts. Hopefully there's something there.

This week on Motion Design Hotline, @ecabrams.bsky.social & I will slice into collage-style cutaway techniques in After Effects. I cut so deep, I went all the way into the third dimension, but still all done in AE.

I've gotta hand it to @ecabrams.bsky.social - always ahead of me when it comes to posting. I was supposed to be focusing on the glorpy text, but I started diving into details and ... it got a bit out of hand. 🥁
Join us live this morning and let us know what you'd like us to show you!
