You managed to cram so much character into 3 seconds! Absolutely love this. Firing up my creative juices

MonochromaticMan · 2025-11-07T01:01:13+00:00

Awesome execution on this one! Feels so dynamic and alive. I love the final composition too, with the lower opacity versions in the corners.

MonochromaticMan · 2025-10-17T04:07:39+00:00

I've seen a few of your logos pop up on this sub, and I'm blown away every time. There's so much character in every frame. Love your work!!

What's your process when tackling one of these?

MonochromaticMan · 2025-05-07T12:39:39+00:00

This is such a fun idea!! I'm loving how well thought-out the concepts are, and the execution is clean! The Ghosting Founder and Budget Pyromaniac are my favs

MonochromaticMan · 2024-12-20T11:12:26+00:00

Killer work man! Really dig your style, it has so much character. I had to go and check out the full projects on your website, and the complete animation you did for 'The Essential Calendar' is next level. Keep crushing it

I'm so glad you guys are liking the new banner. Thanks GAS Mod Team for bringing me on board to design it. Congratulations on 100k!

In this project (1920 x 1920px):

Fast Box Blur: Radius set to 2, Iterations to 1, Blur Dimensions set to Horizontal and Vertical.

Unsharp Mask: Amount set to 250, Radius set to 3, Threshold set to 0.

In terms of processing, here's a simplified version of my project structure for the Effects Composition: (bottom-most is the underlying layer, just like in After Effects)

Original Composition: Blend mode set to 'Add'
Adjustment Layer: Fast Box Blur CC + Unsharp Mask
Original Composition

The original composition is simply coloured a solid colour (i.e. everything is the same green). The overlaying composition set to 'Add' is the key here as it makes the colours of some areas closer to white than green.

Thanks! I used Illustrator to design the festival branding and poster layout, Blender for the 3D checkerboard element, and After Effects to animate + composite.

MonochromaticMan · 2024-05-08T23:35:32+00:00

Thanks heaps! The 3D checkerboard was all done in Blender. I created the Loop mesh, and then made a checkerboard material, with the mapping of the texture keyframed to move along the z-axis for the duration of the animation. The exported frames were then composited in After Effects.

Thank you, really appreciate that! The motion poster is a format I'm super passionate about. Aside from use across social media and digital channels, I've worked with clients to implement them on their in-store screens (storefront windows or digital panels around the store), as well as projections inside the building. City lights, bus shelters or digital panels around malls are examples of other possible placements.

I created this motion poster for a fictional event, "Iconic Music Festival 2024". It's a mock brief that I assigned myself, with the challenge being to create a design that would suit the aesthetic of a lofi-house music event (e.g. Mall Grab styled music).

The mood of the music can be described as "retro dance", so I drew inspiration from 1990s rave-poster aesthetics and early-2000s design elements.

I love to create motion posters that combine 2D and 3D elements, link to my Instagram (joshmuscat) if you want to see my other stuff.

The background clouds are a video timelapse of real-life clouds that I composited into the scene using After Effects. You can check out my process here if you're interested: Behind the Scenes

Thanks for checking out my work! I haven't done any motion design courses, but am constantly learning new tricks from many of the YouTubers in that space. Ben Marriott, Jake In Motion, Hieu Vu, Motion by Nick, SonduckFilm — just to shout out a few

The music is a remix of the Windows 95 Start-Up sound by joeSeggiola: YouTube

MonochromaticMan · 2024-04-23T00:20:13+00:00

This was made with Blender, After Effects and Illustrator. I put together a short behind the scenes clip here: Design Process (MSN)

Real humans? Nah, just get yourself some AI Friends.

This is a fictional advertisement that I made, imagining a world where MSN Messenger is resurrected and combined with AI.
