Motion Design Process in After Effects Illustrator & Photoshop - Tutorial

[@ianaamauba6547]

Your videos are FABULOUS! To the point and fun to watch so thanks for sharing. I like that you went through your process, for example using bezier warp to make the cameras spin, I tend to do everything the hard way so stuff like that is always a plus to learn. And the fact you're always integrating texture with things is really cool too!! Under #1's leaf is probably the same thing you find under a Ken doll's pants--NADA! (ha!)

[@BenMarriott]

Thank you so much! :D I really appreciate the time to took to write such an awesome comment. I wish I had learned about the bezier warp years ago. It would have saved me so much time keyframing shape layers. :D I think you might be right about under his leaf. He's got to be compensating for something.

[@anthonytonev1357]

Under the leaf there is a percent (%) symbol

[@BenMarriott]

Haha, so good!! ;)

[@JoshKeatonFan]

I would love to see more videos like this! The workflow and the process are the best parts!

[@worstever5151]

You're literally the No.1 !!

[@BenMarriott]

:O Thank you so much!

[@johaneriksson22]

Probably a like button underneath that leaf!

[@BenMarriott]

Haha, he his given full written consent for it's pressing! :D

[@gauthamcode]

Loved this Ben! 👍

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the support

4:22 - creating pattern background You could use expressions with sliders to space them out to the size of the composition. Have 10-20 icons per row, per layer shape. Add expression to each Shape layer so that when it's duplicated each layer (with X amount of icons) will go below and shift slightly to the left/right to create offset. Your method is a lot simpler but each time you want to change something you have to re-do it. With expressions you could have sliders to adjust X and Y positions of each element. I don't know how using that many pre-composes affects rendering. But for something as short as that animation I would probably use the same method as you did :P

[@BenMarriott]

Amazing! Thanks so much for leaving such an awesome commend. This a great technique. Perfect when dealing with a larger scene or a client that loves changing their mind, haha :D

[@wasted1350]

[@coilt]

Did anyone tell you how amazing you are? Because you are, and I think I'm going to watch all of your videos eventually. I learned so much it's always inspiring to see how others approach tasks, even if I'm into more Kyle Cooper/David Carson-esque style.

[@BenMarriott]

Haha, thank you so much for your amazing support, Alan! I hope you'll enjoy all these tutorials! :)

[@ALI-wp6tj]

Cool project

[@msongz]

you deserve 10B subscriber!

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks so much! :D fingers crossed haha

[@WalrusesAreTheOne]

obviously, I think he has another "number 1" under there ;)

[@MrFlamerFuel]

The leaf is of course covering up NUMBER 2!

[@samiadawy7988]

Very nice thanx a lot... I hope u make a tutrail about complete project from storyboard in AI to Ae.. It will be so helpful as i'm confused from where can I start to finish I'll appriciat

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks so much for watching! :) I got through that process in my live stream I did with adobe last year: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqHLmHSAdpufjrs That might help a bit :)

[@PresencePhotography]

There would be a smaller '1' under the leaf.

[@robertcampbell8604]

Exactly one of the things I need to share with my students. Curious why you didn't use the Repeater to smooth the process of making all the cameras? I guess it's hard to say which way is more efficient.

[@hronolog]

Number 2 is under the leaf :D

[@dasham1995]

Genius

[@BenMarriott]

Thank youuu!!

[@psychod74]

so cool

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks so much man! :D

[@ilyabirg]

like! good job!

[@havardhestetun1390]

Great stuff! Why are you using posterize time instead of creating a project that is already 12f ?

[@MrFlamerFuel]

You good Sir, now have your own folder on my (D:)

[@MotorsportsTamizhil]

Can you help with a face rig (say in Duik Bassel) that can rotate it's head and have grain shadows? Thanks for the videos! They're awesome!

[@Goku-jk1hs]

nice !

[@ivo87]

Really nice :)

[@emanuelporic]

More tutorials please :)

[@BenMarriott]

Awesome! thanks so much. Got more coming your way :D

[@Darkrun30]

Hey thank you so much for such an amazing video! Do you mind me asking what brushes were u using for the grain texture in photoshop?

[@ernestopiovesan1229]

Hello awesome video! Could you tell which are the best setting for exporting the animation? thankss

[@aronaronaronaronaronaronaronar]

There is another 1 under the leaf

[@jg3317]

An unlabeled layer is hidding underneath the leaf

[@BenMarriott]

Noooooooo! The horror.

[@leomazzei2176]

Hi, Ben! Amazing video. Just wanted to let you know the link in the description leads to a different AE Project named Drop Shadow (The one with a cute little water drop)

[@BenMarriott]

Thank so much for the heads up! Mustn't have updated from the last video, haha. Here's the correct link: bit.ly/2XOq07w

[@JulijaJan]

Super

[@oshojesho8233]

Thank you sir

[@BenMarriott]

Thank you so much

[@imiy]

Could you share your opinion on using touch screen for animating/illustration? I'm thinking of getting one for myself. I imagine it'll be much more pleasant process.

[@BenMarriott]

I use a Wacom Cintiq or an iPad pro for the sketching phase and for frame by frame animation. I don't use a tablet for anything inside after effects. Plain old mouse and keyboard are what I prefer. I know lots of people who use a graphics tablet instead of a mouse for that, but I haven't been able to really get a hang of it. :)

[@maxmagnus777]

Nice video. I have a question. I am ok with AI and AE and I am looking for jobs in motion graphics. What should I learn to do in Photoshop in order to aim for these jobs? My guess is that healing brush mastery on pictures of supermodels is not the way to go, still there are skills in PS that I MUST HAVE.

[@territong4620]

good！

[@juancastillejo600]

😍😍😍 man, your vídeos are fucking gold!! U are the number 1! Keep going pls... i follow you and i love your work

[@BenMarriott]

Dude..... Thank you so much!!! That's amazing to here. I really appreciate you taking the time to make such an awesome comment. :D

[@mladennikolov5637]

Hey man great tutorial, but instead of duplicating and arranging layers in bricks format, you can use "CC RepeTile ->Tiling -> Brick . Have a nice day guys and Subscribe this awesome channel!

[@BenMarriott]

Thank you so much!! I'll give the method a try :)

[@nic.animation]

Great man! How do you import files from ai to ps?

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks so much. In illustrator select File/Export As .PSD will be an option and make sure to tick the checkbox that says "maximum editability" to keep your layers. That pops up after you click save. :)

[@nic.animation]

Ben Marriott great! I usually import in after effects and get the look from there

[@psclip3309]

for motion graphic illustration..is good to use Illustrator or Photoshop...?

[@BenMarriott]

Both are great to use. I found illustrator more intuitive at the start because vector elements are easier to animate.

[@masterpo1465]

We love your tutorial... But can you make it completely slowly so that beginner can understand....

[@janetteyssy5721]

The leaf is covering a number 2...oops...

[@hitenmitsurugi3225]

How do you export this with lossless setting and low file size? I followed your grain animation tutorial but the exported output isnt the same as the preview in AE :

[@RedRumble14]

How long it takes to make a motion design with texts and schemes?

[@RohitGupta-ob4mr]

Is it necessary to have a great sketching skills for motion design?

[@BenMarriott]

Not at all :)

[@Virunesart]

he never wink uwu But YOUR WORK IS AMAZING *-* i would like to make my own animations like you ;-;

[@BenMarriott]

Haha, thank you, Vanesa! :)

[@kenamvs7977]

Onho

[@zoejiang4372]

has to be a piece of the chicken nugget underneath!

[@BenMarriott]

Haha, an excellent theory. :D

[@michalbotor]

little one. ;)

[@BenMarriott]

Haha, you might be right :D

[@brycebobula4762]

I don't know what he is hiding under there, but I do know that it's a small leaf😂

[@acanto191]

FIRST COMMENT !! FUCK YEAH !!!! :D :D

[@BenMarriott]

Haha, Congrats!! :D

[@hamedm9241]

Why are you so cute?
