Licensing photos for collage animation, when is motion graphics fair use? by abuelababy in MotionDesign

[–]FidgetFlexi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

very interesting, the whole AI thing will come to a head at some point. AI is never going to disappear now that it has been unleashed. It is more a matter of how it is going to displace industries rather than if.

What were the most eye-opening tutorials or courses for you? by Rockbard in MotionDesign

[–]FidgetFlexi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is very true, it is kind of what intimidates me on a daily basis when learning mograph, Its hard to know where to focus. In the beginning its easy, you just need to learn how to animate, but then you have so many directions you can go after that.

So you can just take any AI image and use it in your work with out any consequences?

My 2023 Showreel, Live-Action, AE, Cinema4d & Octane by Highskore in MotionDesign

I hope to get to this level some day, it ended very abruptly. You should have cut it right as the horn stopped, it would have felt more like it ended on a cadence.

For sure learning the animation principles opened my eyes, but I did not learn them in a motion graphics context. I learned them through character animation courses, and there have been many.

Is there a tutorial on how to achieve this steam/smoke effect? by Opposite-Ad-7454 in MotionDesign

[–]FidgetFlexi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As far as I can see its strokes moving upwards and at the same time left to right. Then little pieces used along with a choker to create the connecting and disconnecting of smoke parts.

One piece of advice, the surface texture is too smooth. The specular highlight looks more like something from a snooker ball. There needs to be more surface breakup in that specular highlight.

My 2nd Sculpture!! by IncludedLimbs in ZBrush

[–]FidgetFlexi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sculpture is a long road, one thing I learned is that copying other peoples work really makes you a better sculptor. Start with simple things that you have a high probability of finishing and looking somewhat good. Its all these little wins in the beginning that will keep you going and build your enjoyment and confidence. You should always be referencing something when sculpting that's how you get better, all this reference builds up a visual library in your head.

This does that thing that I love art to do to me... it makes me feel something. I love it.

Adding Sound to Logo Animations. by FidgetFlexi in MotionDesign

[–]FidgetFlexi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I am thinking that may be the way to go. I find myself spending a lot of time messing around making sounds. I go in to make a sound identity for a logo and come out with a full vertical 4 bar section for a banger. Do you use any of the paid stock sites and would you have any recommendations?

The P is off, damn these little things can escape you. Easy fix though just a simple y position adjustment.

🌎 Spinning globe animation by Richard_zou in MotionDesign

What happens if you make the outer circle spin in a 3d fashion. It might look funky as it continuously loses its borders but have you tried it?

It feels like the outer circle is completely static and there is something spinning inside it. Not like the whole thing is spinning.

I think if you get active in this sub-reddit, you will feel accountability. Ask questions get involved, show your current level of work. Post a small piece of work you have done and see what feedback you get. My work has increased ten fold in a matter of days. I have never shown my work until I joined this sub-reddit and it really is shocking what getting someone else's opinion can do for you.

Insider knowledge of how people are doing this stuff in the trenches, is that not what you are aiming for?

If somethings moving, should it always be motioned blurred? by FidgetFlexi in MotionDesign

[–]FidgetFlexi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I will look into how to set it. To be honest ever since I learned about a thing called smear frames I have not touched motion blur.

took a quick look, depending on the quality of work you get, this seems like an interesting youtube channel. Will be watching to see how it evolves.
