I am finally getting around to doing my first “how to animate like” on Dodford. Great channel that utilises a lot of really subtle but super effective effects. In this particular video we cover the fundamentals of the animation style and why it works so well. We will be looking at blur maps/depth field, photo animations, article animations, and much more sauce.
As always, thank you for watching!

woah I used to watch these types of tutorials religiously not long ago, now there's one for me that's WILD the result is dope man. I'd personally have less chromatic aberration and edge blur (subtle is always better) and posterize time is where the sauce is really generated. for the blur moving around, it's not a shape layer with turbulent displace - it's fractal noise, which means you don't have to keyframe anything ultimately my principle is always you can't save bad assets with cool effects. my priority is always finding and generating the best archive and images possible, because that's the difference maker as opposed to all of these fancy effects. you killed it though man, great video 👏

Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to comment and share a little peak into what goes on behind the scenes. I couldn’t agree more about the assets and it clearly shows in your videos. I always preach that using high quality assets is way more important than you think. I’m upset that I didn’t think about using fractal noise to drive the blob instead of the animated shape layer. I’m even more upset that I cut out the part about posterize time… I wasn’t too sure about it so I decided to cut it from the video ugh Again, thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. Insanely valuable!!

Special thanks to Mapal for enabling the creation of my new video. I'm truly inspired by Dodford and Magnatesmedia's remarkable video editing style, and I aimed to replicate it. Without Mapal's channel, my video wouldn't have been possible. I'm thrilled to share my new video, all thanks to the encouragement and resources provided by Mapal's channel.

Seen all the little tricks you do visually to get the end result is really amazing. There’s a lot of steps that go into it I hadn’t realized. I wonder if there is a case for making a template so you don’t have to keep redoing this for each scene.

@UnforgottenTales1 5 ай бұрын

Quick question, you seem to be editing in frames like (00:12f, etc). How do you know that these correspond to in the timeline of the video you're editing, perhaps in Premiere Pro? How do match your After Effects animations to a music soundtrack or VO, for example? Because Premiere Pro works off of seconds, I'd like to know how you match them up

@mapal 5 ай бұрын

If I’m animating to something like a voice over or a piece of music I will have that in the composition as well. I’ll have to do a video about my workflow!
