[@krishawes]

The art of good motion design - using simple tools to great effect

[@JVG16]

No talking, just pure creativity and animation. LOVED IT!

[@stabfacer]

I just have to say thank you for this and for all of your other tutorials! I've been following your work for awhile, and just being able to look inside the process of another artist is incredibly insightful. Please keep up the amazing work

[@MichaelLuckhardt]

Dude, clever use of the particle emitter to create little splashses that fall off. I'm subbed to your channel now.

[@iradmanovac]

This is the best tutorial ever

[@ema_colombo]

Glad it helped

[@agblacky]

@@ema_colombo that was sarcasm, you havn´t showed any shortcuts you used and there is no commentary / text commentary

[@manurecaok]

@@agblacky No need to say it like that. You can easily follow what he's doing with his cursor. I myself was able to follow it and it's the third or fourth time I work with such plugins.

[@koko218529]

Best and quieter Tut. ever, thank you.

[@shalalaanais]

I admire your work so much, I'm watching this tutorial while I'm in a creative block for an animation I want to do, and it has inspired me to keep trying, keep up your good work!

[@jaiminsharma]

That's real smart tutorial.. Thanx man

Wow! it was amazing how "simple" you made it, and in just a few minuts Thanks

[@ericbrunet7474]

[@spencerking5879]

I have been searching every crack of the internet to find a tutorial like this. Find how to do these cell style liquid animations is incredibly difficult, please post more, or share a good resource. Thumbs up and subscribing on both my accounts. Thanks a lot.

[@jonathanreynolds11]

Seriously thank you for this! Saved me so much time.

[@ReBbK15]

Thank you so much! You solved my problem! Great video!

[@AeBlues]

thank you very much sir. very refreshing to see tutorials with no audio and still understand everything. one question: at 4:14, you are creating a comp by highlighting a composition in the project panel and clicking on the icon. it looks like you are not dragging the comp but maybe it's a recording issue. if you are not dragging, I would like to know the shortcut for this, if you are dragging - BTW as of CC2015 there is a shortcut for creating a comp by highlighting the comp in the project panel and that's Alt+\ in case you did not know.

[@chrestian9764]

Amzing tut man! Thanks!

[@BoutaibYassine]

Few will understand how creative what you are doing here! it's too sad people recently are just looking for superman flying effects and ground shatter -__-;! Good job emanuele!

[@ema_colombo]

Boutaib Yassine Thanks Boutaib, you made my day!

[@footballskill19]
