My Quest to Create the Perfect Youtube Graphics...

[@FBI-io9pv]

This man has a great sense of humor

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks FEDs! You're my favorite Bureau

[@valeriapomales7211]

Indeed great

[@joinspire_studios]

@Ben Marriott 😂 Every Pun intended 😂

[@elikintisch1046]

Very British

[@justarandomwoof2247]

THIS IS THE FBI. HANDS IN THE AIR. ... ... ur funny

[@TEK-]

I don't know why but sampling colors directly from old 90s anime was something I never even considered, that fourth one is definitely my fav.

[@madetomake-tk5661]

I was NOT ready for that first transition-it literally had me in stitches. This was awesome

[@TheJazzbassjazz]

The arrow dissolving is sooo satisfying, it suits the last animation so well !

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks Jazz! I'm glad I got to include it in this video. It's totally canon, if not the final version.

[@youtube_fantastic]

@@BenMarriott I felt the opposite! The one without the arrow is so calming. I wish I could like this video 4 times lol

[@funworldtonight]

seemed like an afterthought that wasnt cohesive with the rest

[@TheDarioxGamer]

Was that a Shinji reference? 🤨

[@chad-leeb]

I'm watching and smiling because of how good you are, and how much you inspire me as an artist. Amazing work Ben. ❤

[@sloganwade4994]

The goblin finger one had me gasping for air! Lol. Thanks for that. Just the idea of that animation played out slowly over 8 minutes keeps making me giggle.

[@Rufnokable]

I've learned so much from your videos, everytime there are little techniques that you explain so clearly. We're always here for the monty python

[@BenMarriott]

I'm glad you like the asides for techniques! I couldn't let the video go by without multiple adjustment layers and animated grain

[@doseofmotion]

Ben is the David Attenborough of motion design. love the narration.🙏

[@damienboneham2754]

The button press bubble pop is pure satisfaction.

[@tregdemedia]

I’m really digging the lofi retro / surrealist take here. This is totally my vibe

[@jenniferholcomb9300]

When are we going to see the full 8 minute long video WITH Katrina & The Waves? The people demand the Marriott cut, Ben! 🎥 Fantastic work as always - liked! 👍

[@BenMarriott]

The Marriott Cut exists! I have dozens of hours of extra scenes I animated with that finger, that the fat-cats upstairs didn't understand my vision for. The people have spoken

[@matvte]

This video is stupidly simply good.

[@BenMarriott]

The stupid came easy :D

[@matvte]

@@BenMarriott thank god then it became simply awesome

[@amirfld6375]

This is the most satisfying and intresting video I've ever seen, specially about a subject that is very crucial to success on KZbin but none has made a video about it like this. Love your subtle and detailed animations as usual and yeah please do video essays from time to time. Good job Ben 👍

[@mugg8516]

i was surprised by the sudden "FLY ME TO THE MOON" (7:16)

[@davidkonevky7372]

I really love that last version, it's familiar yet still fresh

[@GamerReality]

That second animation was hilarious to me. Now I’ve got to do something like this with a claymation art style like my VR game has.

[@itsthecopyright]

Your videos are always so unique, instructive and fun to watch! Love your channel :D

[@BenMarriott]

That is the kindest comment you could say, are you sure I didn't bribe you to write this?! :) Thank you

[@jasonh7194]

No one mentioned the ending. Great storytelling!

[@CodyNitcher]

Ben is getting more and more meta and I'm here for it 😂

[@xinyusunny]

I absolutely love the last option and its retro somber esque looking!!🎉🎉

[@verygoodfreelancer]

graphics are so important! consider how much the UI and “graphics” of chat gpt will inform everything from how seriously people take its responses to whether people think it’s conscious! love to see you doing these topics

[@BenMarriott]

You're right! Thanks for watching a slight detour on the channel :)

[@verygoodfreelancer]

@@BenMarriott i LOVE these detours!!! i want ben marriott documentaries

[@BenMarriott]

@@verygoodfreelancer Thanks for the encouragement :D

[@sMsRaven]

well i liked the video

[@BenMarriott]

Mission Accomplished :D

[@timbmedina]

I made a cameo in the video at 5:48 ! So funny! Appreciate the small shoutout! (Tim Medina on Dribbble)

[@BenMarriott]

Love those graphics!

[@ijui]

man.. your content is soooo good! So creative, so unpretentious, and charismatic! very very good job!! It is always a pleasure to watch a new video!

[@Samanomark]

@benmarriott you are a genius! I’ve learned so much from watching your videos, your philosophy about animation shows a true love and respect for the craft.

[@SenorBreak]

welp that weird strategy to make me like and subscribe worked so congrats, you're a genius

[@trevorwilliams401]

The Eye is absolutely my fav. But loving all of the composite techniques on the final idea as well.

[@TheUnderscore_]

Thank you so much for this! I'm planning to use every single one of these at the same time on my videos today forward.

[@EdaliaDayCreative]

i love how detailed your process is. i never have enough time for that in the kind of motion design work i do. it’s a delight to witness that level of fine crafting

[@AINEET]

This video was inspirational and enjoyable. The eye and the finger were my favorites, but the work put into the details of last one was damned great

[@shonthelawn]

I was the 500th like and it was very satisfying watching it go from 499 to 500.

[@adrianrey8270]

I admire your work, creativity and what you give to the community ! Thank you Ben ! For all of what you give us !

[@Toot_tube]

I instantly liked this video like the good little algorithm goblin I am

[@BenMarriott]

We Goblins must unite!

[@TheUnderscore_]

You playing Fly Me To The Moon for the last animation was perfect 😂

[@ryanc3772]

great video Ben!

[@YoucefKuray]

Your content is a pure piece of art, I'd watch it over and over the whole day, keep it up buddy!

[@johannesssssssss]

I want an 8 hour version of the second one

[@Arthad]

I wish I've had this creative mind, the lack of creativity is my biggest flaw

[@micheliochoa2085]

I'm not here for motion graphics anymore, I'm here for the entertaining

[@TheNailPolishHound]

Love the long finger animation!

[@MotionXP]

This is absolutely Brilliant!

[@aidofska]

I really love the eye animation

[@LeBeaBae]

I love the fourth one so much!!!

[@modulated_]

dude your editing for these videos is so fucking good - i loved the old ones too, but these new ones have all been going so hard lmaoo

[@marykirmo]

Refreshing!!! Hilarious! Unexpected!! Siskel and Elbert give this video two thumbs up. Goblin finger for me.

[@ayzhienturtle]

oh, how unexpected i would find such embodiment with *this* out of a zillion other things...

[@OhGoshJosh]

this was beautiful, and my new favorite way of learning new things in AE

[@freudijpg]

Unlimited love for your adjustmentlayers!

[@davidyanko1062]

You deserve all the likes and subscribers, man! Great work as always!

[@vibhuprasher6135]

damn, you really made me like the video

[@Vethorzinho]

man, i love your videos

[@arthuravagyan4568]

Hey Ben, great content as always. As a suggestion, I think it would be awesome to see a video on the use of "Slider Control" effect. I heard it makes the whole process faster with some animations, yet I have trouble understanding its full potential. Thank U!

[@tverdyznaqs]

This video is such a mood man... It gives off this sort of "person with artistic ambition forced to create meaningless dribble for the algorithm to make ends meet" angst and can''t help but relate to that

[@aaliyan2]

Excellent video!

[@travisking5555]

Two really good ways to make someone like something is to add a powerful graphic AND a New Order song.

[@BenMarriott]

Can’t stop hearing Gregorian chants now 😅

[@SkucciMusic]

My favorite animation is the anime one, absolutely love the aesthetic

[@laurentpastorelli1354]

the best as always!

[@Neurotypique]

You made tutorials actual entertainment

[@possiblycoolperson]

The first graphic kind of looks like PilotRedSun.

[@kikon78]

Impossible to choose. You took my love and what made me get more into after effects by using the cut out animation of terry gillian and then what is currently my goal to achieve a 80/90's anime style look... Ben I have to ask...are you the voice of my inspiration wispering stuff?

[@bklydesign]

me vibing listening to blue monday 🕺🪩

[@williamdeyoung]

Love the humor omfg lol so hard on the bust people stared at me 😂

[@iandiaz9101]

i have never had such an urge to like a video like this before...

[@mugasarooney4369]

Couldn't wait to subscribe.

[@elenajimenez]

I was not expecting that goblin finger at the end LOL

[@mikko0846]

ill tell you, the last one is the best (in my opinion)

[@FelipeEspinosab]

Lover your videos!!!! Excellent editing, and also I learn so much. You are a fantastic artist.

[@deanmaj]

Love love the popping finger animation. Would have definitely liked and subscribed if i hadnt already clicked the bell icon a long time ago

[@OMAR7]

That Spider scared the shit out of me lol

[@Maarten-Nauta]

This is definitely inspiring me to make one myself haha

[@blep8707]

i like that last one

[@sajjadabouei6721]

Keep it on ben, nice 👍👍

[@baalernaruto]

the real question is, how does he know about my goblin fingers? 😮

[@BenMarriott]

You can tell by the cadance of the sentences. Very few characters that are close together on the keyboard.

[@valthvisuals]

I loved the last one! Great video ♥️

[@CoreyLaFleur]

Why did this make me cry??

[@ifeanyiekeoma3432]

This is so fun....

[@michaelmcwatters]

Animation video, or homage to Katrina and the Waves? Both!

[@bogbert7019]

I AM a goblin-like creature slithering through youtube. You understand me well

[@PaulEnoch]

0:26 I see you😂

[@matheussantanna3924]

The first one reminds me Gustavo Horn, a brazilian filmaker, opening sequence, but his isnt an animation, but a puppet.

[@gimpyio]

Was that an instrumental rendition of fly me to the moon?? 💀 nice touch

[@jeorc]

I love that finger slowly sliding through the screen like trying to remain unnoticed but very noticeable. I thought it was hilarious!

[@iCookMe]

Wonderful as always!!!

[@634n5]

hereally did rig an explosive to the likebutton!!!!!!!!!! this guy is good

[@Apoint5]

Graphic 3 is like amongus flipped

[@carmenschweiger1330]

YOUR ANIMATIONS ARE SO COOL AND YOU SHARE EVERYTHING SO I CAN MAKE ALSO COOL ANIMATION, I LOVE THAT! AND I LOVE NO EASING YEAH

[@n_aislamicstudio]

Ben Marriot you are a vvvv good teacher 👍👍

[@alexandreorion2253]

I don't even work with animation (yet) but your videos are sooo entretaining! Keep the good work.

[@im_skrunkly]

i love the last one but it feel its too shiny to feel like a retro anime, or is that just me??? great work though.

[@godwinyo5206]

I love this experimental stuff you do :)

[@andreasvarousiadis9464]

PLEASE DO A TUTORIAL ON THE LAST ANIME ONE IT IS AMAZING!!!!!

[@m4r_art]

4 is definitely the best one, should have Cruel Angel Thesised it.

[@o_2731]

What is that vid essay you showed when talking about evangelion? I can't find it by the name only

[@zulmianah]

You are so talented

[@Unndeadcat]

yknow what, i like you

[@setresetfilms]

Well your Jedi mind tricks just got me to like & subscribe and I’m not even mad about it ❤️‍🔥

[@orenlevi4329]

I know how hard it must be to tell jokes into a void. Just know you are cracking me up here.

[@Hix066]

I slithered here under duress from an Algorithm, I pressed the like button and I still have me finger intact. I want my money back! In other news the sense of humour here had me guffawing like a shorts trader.

[@gustavotavares7061]

man, the scary finger made me laugh so hard LOL

[@Anal0gH0rr0rPhil]

3:25 Me: the nuclear one? Him: no. me: THE URGE Him: wait.. No! No! No!
