Every year, Marques and our motion designer Michael work together to create a new intro animation for the MKBHD channel. This time, we decided to film the process, and even add some sound design to the mix.

@Karthikch913 Жыл бұрын

I know right? In the same boat as you. My process feels really messy to me but apparently that is how everyone does it. By messy, I mean, sometimes you just find something as you keep playing with the shapes and layers you have on screen and just starting to move stuff around will lead to something that works. And that's what I see here. So, this was really relatable to me as well.

@dealkill2396 Жыл бұрын

I feel like the fun vibe it gives off is really good for the hard and fast impression/review videos of tech (especially in the hectic tech-tember/tober) while having a more subtle and quiet intro animation would add weight to the more slow paced and thoughtful discussion videos. I know having separate animations for different types of videos would at least double your workload on that front (depending how many “types” you have) but it’s an idea.

Just wanna say that this Pack, and the style in general, inspired me to finally learn how to use Davinci Resolve just so i can use these plugins. It's been 1 year now and my Video quality has improved drastically and the numbers prove it. I felt a bit stuck and had about 2.000 Subs last year, now im at 10.000 Subs and almost 3 Mio views.

The existential moment he has at around 13:45 - 14:07 when he says he looked back at the footage and saw how he exists in the world everyday and that's a wild experience... I understood. Even though I don't vlog or talk to camera or film myself talking to anything... I also have massive respect for him telling us about the process while working on the project. That's so hard to do. To think and focus and figure out your creation, and then talk about it in a cohesive way, and to a camera, is very impressive. I can't talk and work at the same time when it's very focused work. Such a cool video and I loved the animation when I saw it for the first time in video intros. Huge congratulations on the animation 🎉

Totally relate to the whole “hands” thing. If people are around when I’m working on an animation it probably looks weird, but it’s the best way I’ve found to help me visualize a sequence before I commit to spending time on it.
