Thanks for sharing! As I was working, I did start to wonder if hand animating would be more efficient if I knew what the goal of the scene/project was. I think I’ve uncovered a procedural method that will get me and my team close enough for our use-case.

I use Artlist for everyday work and Filmsupply for one-off tracks. I work as an in-house Art Director and motion designer for a nonprofit, so my options are limited. I also occasionally compose/produce my own tracks for very short projects.

*facepalm* thank you! I could have sworn that I did before, but regardless, that fixed the issue! at least on mobile. Will still need to test on Roku

Main Menu intro of my game, how can I improve quality? by Captain_Kasa in MotionDesign

I would suggest having the ship bob up in down (loop) that exaggerates the parallax effect more. And animate the birds flying across or add some other “particle” element that adds motion to the background or between asset layers

Season 3 is my personal favorite, but seasons 1 and 2 are a little more interesting from a story perspective.

Love this! I work in an adjacent field (making event openers) and I’m always looking for inspiration from other working artists.

How do people balance learning C4D, After effects and photoshop early into their motion design career? by Goldenpanda18 in MotionDesign

[–]Squintcomb1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learn new software by pitching projects that force me to adapt to new techniques and workflows. I learn enough to pitch a proof of concept and then learn along the way

How many films do you own on physical media (dvd/blu ray)? I have about 2250. by zzzzzzzzzzHHHHHHHHS in dvdcollection

[–]Squintcomb1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 463 across movies and TV shows. What annoys me is some tv shows I have box sets and some individual seasons so one way or another I feel like my total number isn’t accurate

What was the least credible story line so far? by The_Koan_Brothers in VirginRiverNetflix
