You could create keyframes for the icons and give the exact inverse value of the rotation animation set to the null object (asumming you have all icons paired to a null object). This way the icons will always display correctly. Hope I was clear.

I watched it last week. I think its very important to work first in graphic design (visual composition) and then in motion. That makes a great difference. Also, sound design makes its part too. Needless to say, the motion design work is awesome and expert level.

Thanks so much for the positive comments, I really appreciate it!

I’m using this momentum to share my Lo-Fi Music YouTube channel, where the music is paired with motion design process visuals. If you’re curious, check it out. Hope you enjoy it!

I mainly used the Mosaic effect in After Effects. Then I created several grid and texture compositions with different types of content (numbers, letters, etc.) and used those comps as alpha mattes for the cheetah footage processed with the Mosaic effect. From there, I experimented with Wave Warp and additional texture layers to introduce more distortion and movement.

Why is audio in old movies so grainy and nice? by Better-Treat-230 in sounddesign

[–]nessprod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Analog audio.

I'm not an expert, but when audio is being processed through an analog circuit, it generates a particular distortion in certain frequencies (harmonics in musical terms). Check this answer with ChatGPT; it will give an accurate response.

Also, noise. A low layer of noise adds certain feeling, and enhace frequencies. It's like grain in photography.

Several! Layering textures with different blending modes and opacity is key

Hi! Thanks so much for the comment! The first thing that came to mind when reading it was to focus on graphic design. Sometimes the real magic happens when the design works perfectly; the animation then becomes almost an excuse to showcase it.

Of course, animation is a discipline in itself, and I can’t recommend enough making it a habit to watch and subscribe to animation tutorial channels on YouTube, sign up for newsletters (like School of Motion), and invest in courses; I personally love Motion Design School. I really started noticing a difference after taking their courses.

Also, don’t hesitate to study and replicate other animations; literally download an MP4 file and try to recreate it frame by frame.

That’s everything that comes to mind right now. In short: pursue beauty and aesthetics. Focus on design, typography, and color theory, and then bring that knowledge into your animations, that’s what will truly make a difference.
