Motion Graphics

Today we learnt the principles of animation. The three main principles were:

  • Squash and stretch
  • Anticipation
  • Staging

We were set to do a preject of a 15 seconds + motion graphic film in After Effects, creating shapes, working with layers, animating, keyframing and working with the graphic editor.

Things to consider: Colour, Duration, Transition.

Screenshots of my process

Simple text
Line repetition and duplication + Twist with added animation
Object distortion – Fish-eye effect
Masking with 2+ objects – The hardest part – Error message as seen
Liquid effect
Here is the first version of my masterpiece XD
My final version!
