Thanks to your lessons my love for AE grows stronger.

I've legit been waiting for the 2022 motion design and animation review. Thanks Ben!

[@travisbuechner1384]

You've done it again Ben! I love how you get so detailed in what you like about each piece and explain a bit about how they accomplished specific parts of each project. Amazing!

[@harmeetsingh4299]

This was fun. Would love to see more of this type of videos

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks Harmeet! I'd love to make more of them too :D

Great video Ben. Nice shout out for Haewons illustration work as well. Having worked with her, I agree she is an incredible talent and a fantastic person to boot.

[@808owens]

Wow!!!! I love the lens universe example. What a great collection for inspiration. Thanks for sharing!

[@violetta2964]

They are all so beautiful, creative and inspirational. Love them.

Right?! I wish I could make this video an hour long. So many amazing projects to keep up with

[@maze2299]

@@BenMarriott Then please do. I would love to see that. This feels like national news but for illustrators. Haven't really seen anything like this before. I was glued.

@@BenMarriott oh yes please !! 🤘😆

[@tomermalcov2510]

Great video! thanks for that. The LINE studio is definitely my fav since discovered them, worth every drop o credit

[@MotionHatch]

Some pretty amazing work here! It's always good to be inspired by others work but not compare ourselves. I like to look at my past work and ask if I have improved since then.

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks Hatch! That's a great reminder. It's no fair to compare our work in progress to someone elses greatest hits.

[@LeadSwitchKick]

Don’t forget that a lot of this is made by big teams with big budgets, who also have been working in the field for years. Can’t compare yourself to that.

[@giovannigiovanni.7220]

@@BenMarriott I was wondering could you make a tutorial in after effects on the MCU Defenders intro?

[@jpi_1990]

Amazing video, Ben. How to overcome the fear of thinking that these are way beyond our capabilities?

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks JP! It's always good to remind youself that these are done my teams of people, some with 2 dozen credits who are all spciallists in their field which might have taken months to complete, and not compare that to your own work that you'll likely be the harshest critic of.

[@toxibeet]

@@BenMarriott how do you think the work like this is distributed in those large teams?

[@btn237]

@@toxibeet in any manner of ways. Could be that specific tasks are taken care of by specialists (illustrators illustrate, animators animate, editors edit and so on), or different sections might be handed to specific artists to work on. Or a combination of both. The larger the project the more granular specialisms will be e.g character animation is a specialism, visual effects is another specialism, compositing, art direction, graphic design, and so on.

[@toxibeet]

@@btn237 interesting! I almost always work on similar projects by myself or animating somebody’s designs. But since lots of shots are smoothly transitioning one to another, I’m wondering how would two animators work on them… I’ve never worked in big studios.

[@btn237]

@@toxibeet it’s definitely a challenge if all the scene transitions are seamless. I’ve actually undertaken such a clip where, even though there was only two of us working on the project, the work needed to be divided in such a way that we both work on all the scenes. In some cases there was no hard cut between scenes. It’s good if you can set a seamless project up in such a way where there are separate scene files, because most software is terrible at allowing two people to work in a project file at once (it’s certainly easier though if your software of choice is better at doing that). If you study closely you’ll probably be able to find locations in these clips where there could be a mask from one section to the next. Or they might be using similar tricks from live action to disguise edits in what appears to be one seamless take (lens flares, fast pans or other occlusions for example). On the project I mentioned before, those are the sorts of things we did, where you find way for one ‘scene’ to end and the next begin, with some overlap in the action and camera motion.

[@TheFPSChannel]

Awesome collection. The bar is set high.

[@saemranian]

Great, thanks for your compilation.

Thanks Ben, for this mindblowing compilation.

[@ultravioletidea]

What a cohesive review! I love your analysis, showing what sets these animations apart and popping into Ae to show how some of the things are done. This is the best of your animation reviews, and the others were great, too!

Thank you Ben! It's a really well made video. It makes me love animation more and more :))

[@cheekybikerboy]

Thanks Ben, talk about eye opening. As a newcomer to all this it's truly incredible to see what can be done, even if I have no clue how to do it! That being said, if I want to have a sphere with animated gradients I can do that now so thanks! Hands down one of the most inspirational youtube videos I've seen of any sort in a long time.

There are so many great motion designers out there! Thanks for sharing. Do you think you'll ever do a video about exporting videos in ae. I'm having such an issue with it! Apparently not that simple

[@AndrewMarston]

Jake Bartlett did a great video about quickly exporting with Anubis recently that you might find useful.

[@Artic-foxx]

@@AndrewMarston thank you! This did help me :)

[@shnaishnfx]

incredibly work

[@imiy]

You know what would be awesome? If you made a series of videos on how to make some of those outstanding animations - like you made with the gradient in this one. For example, how to make those texture lines. Could be an exact replication or just a technique demonstration

[@RYANHVIDEO]

How on earth do you make these in after effects? Some of them look like they were hand drawn. I'm stuck here moving scale and position of basic images and shapes...

[@AndrewMarston]

I know for Minima there was some frame by frame cel work.

[@wotntarnation3012]

Literally watched the last one yesterday and thought "I wish he would make another one of these"

[@chauncyduan9522]

Wow, great video, thank you! How do you discover them all?😯

[@BenMarriott]

I had the wonderful @andrewmarston help me research this one :)

[@AndrewMarston]

👐 Mostly from following studios and talented people on Instagram and Vimeo. If you haven't already, I highly recommend following everyone listed in the description on Instagram. When you click follow, IG usually recommends related accounts. It was extremely hard for Ben and I to choose which to include.

[@alex_paterson]

Great video, such amazing animations - thank you for sharing them! I really liked the idea of Austin's live streams - is that something you would ever consider? It'd be good to watch an entire process in real time and see things that are often cropped out of pre-recorded tutorials, e.g. your process of figuring out how to animate something complex, watching your workflow in realtime, or seeing any mistakes made and how you handle them etc.

[@TabletsAndTemples]

Could you teach us how to do some of that amazing animated texture work you highlighted in OF?

[@onteractive6688]

Spline is actually webGL so it's still running in your computer tho, not streamed. They make amazing and optimized shaders and that's the magic.

[@MouseGuardian]

I love your videos and I am a huge fan, Ben! I was wondering if you could do a video where you talked a bit about time, how long different animations can take to do, and so on. How fast or long is it reasonable for a client to get something done, based on style, length and complexity of the product, if you are part of a team or alone.

[@sallyren6603]

love it!!!!

[@JustinPunio]

Ben do you have an alternative recommendation for FX Console? It no longer works in AE 2022 after the update on Mac, cheers!

[@AndrewMarston]

I believe Quick Menu 3 on AeScripts works and is more robust, but paid.

[@slimdilly_]

Can someone give some insight into how Ordinary Folk created the visuals for the webflow animation. The blocks and 3D assets are insane

What are the names of the web based 3D animation softwares?

[@sandyfebri6028]

Perfect tutorial, I just bought it and tNice tutorials helps heaps

[@dude5037]

hi sir i have a question please: in 3d softwares there is a shortcut (F) , when you navigated you're scene and accidentally you lost your stage (scene) you press it and it will jump (Focus) into it. or even if you select a layer of your 3d model then you hit (F) it will jump into that part . is there any same thing for after effect?

[@charlesentertainmentcheese6663]

I think you misunderstood what spline is and does. It does not do any rendering in the cloud. All the computation runs in your machine. It is just a very simplified and limited 3D software that runs in the browser. If you think you're going to be able to animate complex scenes with this tool you are wrong.

[@heljoz]

is everything made with ae??

[@sarahhalawa5926]

[@jippalippa]

Watching videos like this makes me unbrarably depressed. I have been working as a motion designer for 8 years and I can't make something that's even 5% as good as what I'm seeing... I'm also not so young anymore. Fuck me...

[@AndrewMarston]

For what it's worth, these are the best of the best from what teams of top tier talent can create with big budgets. The fact that you've worked as a motion designer for 8 years means you're already better than most.

[@toxibeet]

You are not alone…

[@vuxanov]

Spline is ok but very limiting. Blender is much more powerful 3D and 2D tool, it’s completely free and runs on a toaster.
