How I Made This Advanced Animation (Process Breakdown)

This is the process video of the proudest piece I've ever created! I used Cinema 4D, After Effects, Illustrator, and even Procreate!

[@redautumn-qk6nx]

love you both!!!!

[@nicolas.kannov]

As much as I know a step by step tutorial has its place and it helps a lot sometimes, for example, to learn a specific technique, I much prefer a breakdown like yours, it feels so much more insightful to know your thoughts behind the piece. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge Emonee! Also, I loved the animation and design! 👌

[@EmoneeLaRussaTutorials]

That truly means a lot! That’s exactly what I was hoping to do and the fact that it’s hitting makes me so happy❤️

[@andrearieta8291]

I saw this posted on reddit. Was it you? This is amazing work. This kind of content is great because there are lots of basic motion design tutorials on youtube and after almost two years learning I'm starting to reach a point where I feel like most of them don't really teach me much anymore. Watching the actual process of artists who're more experienced than me teaches me and inspires me so much more. Thank you, I'll be waiting for the next video.

[@EmoneeLaRussaTutorials]

That makes me so happy that this is helpful to you! Seriously! Thank you!!

[@Lobstrique]

this is SO COOL!! Thank you so much for walking us through the creative process! it's the thing I struggle with most, it seems, coming up with ideas no matter how much reference material i look through. love your process, once again, thank you!

[@ImTerasHD]

Such a satisfying animation, omg 😱😍

[@EmoneeLaRussaTutorials]

Thank you so much!!!

[@offlimit7517]

Emonee, you are going to be an inspiration for a new generation of artists. Mark my words!

[@EmoneeLaRussaTutorials]

that means so much! Thank you!!

[@boyeddy4974]

You never lied! I’m just here getting amazed.

[@simoneblax]

This video was mind-blowing! I've never realised I could recreate roughly a scene in c4d to use it like a perspective reference. And Danny Stern plugin? whaaaaaat? Thank you so much for making this. ❤️

[@apzzpa]

This is GENIUS. You are one clever cookie. Creating the scene in 3d and then tracing over the top is just *chef's kiss*. What an amazing technique and the result is breathtaking. Well done!

[@glynnurquhart4694]

Love this! When I first saw the animation on your insta I was blown away. Seeing this breakdown is so helpful, inspiring, and makes me feel like creating work of this calibre is much more achievable. Thanks for this!!

[@EmoneeLaRussaTutorials]

Awesome! Thank you so so much!!!!

[@bryanroth5310]

Loved the process! Glad to see you back here :) keep it up, you truly inspire us all!

[@zackbell8284]

Thank you Emonee. It's super interesting to get a look at your creative process. The animation is beautiful, but the process itself is also beautiful.

[@tiagopesce]

just love the influences you bring on that!

[@ignaciomotion]

This is great stuff, I'm just getting into cinema4D and creating mockups for tracing with shape layers is a great idea! That stairs look so great, will definitely try that.

[@hvaranhvaran]

This is phenomenal content for somebody with technical skills. Especially the pre-production part. Thank you!

[@EmoneeLaRussaTutorials]

Thanks so much for watching!!

[@michaelmcmahon7274]

You are so wonderful for sharing your process with us. It is a beautiful piece!

[@GabrielHR55]

I love that your sense of peace has a lot of dark aspects to it! This definitely resonates with me for sure. I so get it, even like traveling through the door, it looks like one of those dreams you try to run but the door gets further, i can feel the anxiety with this rush to the door and the bath extending further. The body being filled with the dark space like just becoming one with the universe. Your perspective of being filled with mindfulness.. Love this when you do this you definitely find things to become greatful for and the expanded awareness, 👁‍🗨 . Love the whole breakdown and where you get your inspiration it is so you! 💟 Beautiful work 🙏

[@MaxDiamond]

Yo thats was INSANE. I would love to learn to animate like this. Love your work Emonee!

[@EmoneeLaRussaTutorials]

Thank you so so much!!!

[@jo69123]

this is IMPRESSIVE, so much talent and creativity, I'm amazed. Amazing work!

[@federicoparravicini8403]

Sooo glad you're back, amazing video, can't wait for more 🙏

[@pariahgaming365]

Hi Emonee! I’ve recently decided to have a major career change in my life from music to motion design. You’re one of the first modern artists I’ve learned about and I’m not just extremely impressed but also also inspired and motivated to get the ball rolling with my new adventure. I have a question for you, what school would you recommend I go to to learn the programs that you use? I’ve been going crazy looking for a school but it seems to me the internet is very vague with precise information. Thank you again for all the motivation and inspiration! God bless!

[@exorcist3d99]

I am so happy that you not only have NFT's but are also killing it in that field. Incredible work, doing incredible stuff with your platform- keep innovating!

[@EmoneeLaRussaTutorials]

Thank you so much! Means alot!

[@louierubbish8374]

this is crazy gooood! you made it seem so easy

[@wokeaf1242]

What you accomplished here is amazing. And the different steps and the process was. . .wow. I don't think I'll get to that level. (At least not until I get a better computer with a much better graphic card. I was wondering, how long did this take overall, from concept to finished animation. I already overloaded my brain learning Premiere, Illustrator, and After Effects. Don't know if I'll ever get to Cinema 4D or Procreate. But it was awesome to see the possibilities.

[@EmoneeLaRussaTutorials]

Thank you so much!! This whole process took me about 2 1/2 weeks to complete beginning to end!

[@Riaan1906]

Wow what a great breakdown video!!

[@themindinvisible]

Genius! So good! Love that esthetic so much. 😆

[@maxcue5578]

Amazing stuff! Mesmerizing for the eye and mind. Well delivered and inspiring too. It made think to some David Blaine's opening credits seen on TV. You are magic (like him).

Thank you!!!

[@jakobe234]

Really helpful video! Glad u posted!

[@Chrisc_210]

Just getting inside the mind of an artist and understanding their thought process and focus when working through a project is always valuable knowledge, even if you don't use the same medium/tools as them. This video was also generally super insightful, thank you! Also thank you for that explanation of a vertigo shot! I've tried to reference that before in conversation, but never knew the name of the technique of how it was done.

[@EmoneeLaRussaTutorials]

ABSOLUTELY! so glad someone appreciates that!

[@fonsecxv]

wow that was an adventure! great great work

[@jgmjmalvoxmattelol]

That’s fantastic, very useful breakdown

The idea to use 3d softwares to create references is a game changer.

[@TheSilvering4]

Thank you for that process breakdown! I'm learning Blender atm, a great free alternative to C4D. Now i have a new use case for Blender in my worflow! 😍
