1940s Magazine Animation | After Effects Process Breakdown

Рет қаралды 24,225

Күн бұрын

This is a process breakdown video for creating a 10 second looping animation, inspired by mid-century graphic design for a motion collaboration.
Although I discuss some techniques, this isn't a step-by-step tutorial. See the full workflow breakdown in the linked videos below.
In this video, I dive into the creative process, collaborating on motion design projects, and managing tight deadlines. Pro tip: don't wait until the last minute!
I used Irving Harper's magazine cover artwork as inspiration for the animation, which had a 4x5 aspect ratio.
All the animation was done in After Effects, with some basic asset creation and model separation using Blender.
Enjoy!

Such a great reminder of how important the research is. I remember hearing someone talk about sites like dribble and behance as design porn. You don't get anything out of it but it feels good to look at. But all those new connections you gained from researching the career of Harper brought so much inspiration to tell a story rather than just make something look cool.

That's a good comparison I'm ABSOLUTELY going to steal for a future video (if only to have fun with the film clips). But yes this was my main takeaway from this exercise was the magic of research. Doubly so when you absorb it all and let your unconscious brain do the work for you. No time for that on this one though

Lovely stuff! I had never found an approachable and convincing method to replicate that Halftone / CMYK Newspaper Print texture. Not for still images. And especially not for video. This one looks pretty good. You mentioned another method that didn't work for you [how can we find it?]. I bet the textured dots were too big, ruining the visibility of the shape layers. Not to mention the small thin text/letters....

@TheVideoShopLondon 4 ай бұрын

Both Ben and Jake have halftone tutorials, both similar if I remember correctly. Also this one (and this channel needs the subs so I'll link to him!) also he has a few other interesting tutorials on different looks which are worth looking at: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q6qZeZqW1Z3Mh2w.html
