[@BenMarriott]

Thank you to everyone who made ANY animation or motion design this year. I've been so inspired by the work I've seen. It's one of the few things that's kept me going this year and I'm very lucky to have a platform where I can share some of my favorites.

[@DesmoSaze]

What ? You didn't put yourself in any of these categories ? I'm in shock ! kidding, thank you so much for all the work you've share with us this year. Even tho i'm not making too much motion graphics lately, I still enjoy watching your videos every now and then. I sincerly hope you will keep doing it for a long time.

[@felipewrany]

You really inspire me to be a good artist! Keep the good work, maybe one day you'll show here some of my art!

Felix Colgrave made another masterpiece by the end of 2020 - THROAT NOTES It's great on so many levels.

[@dementedpenguinz]

Great video Ben, and an awesome wrap to a handful of great motion design projects from 2020. I'm super keen to see what you and the community at large give us next year. Happy holidays Ben! PS Is it bad that I absolutely adore the animations for the Microsoft content? 😅

[@arka.prabha]

❣️ I was here in 2020.

[@BenMarriott]

Me too!

[@artificialcolours9719]

Bootiful 👌

[@idontknowWhatTosay8]

this is so inspiring.

[@alexgraffart3046]

I’m new to the whole motion design world and don’t know much about it but I’m super interested!!!! Are all of these videos done for indie companies or for smaller projects or is there a platform to see work like this ? Like a film festival or smt ?

[@omrozsoy]

Happy new year everyone🥳🥳

[@killercon2735]

what software did the majority of people use to make these?

[@BenMarriott]

Most of the 2D ones will be made in After Effects, with some frame by frame possibly in Animate or TV paint. The 3D one's likely in 3D. A lot of the workflows probably have a few different software, but the majority will be After Effects.

[@meskahmusic]

GIMP {jokes}

[@ghiaccio1384]

2:09 WHAT'S THE MUSIC TITLE PLSS!!??

[@MissDarcy12]

It's the Spring of The Four Seasons by Vivaldi.

[@torgo0869]

Nice

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks Tomás!

[@barbecuebae1728]

Hey Ben! I just wanted to say thank you real quick. Nothing cliché, just honest thoughts. Anyway, I discovered you I think at the beginning of this year, when I wanted to pick up editing again after a break. I must say, getting back to editing didn’t really work out, but dang your channel definitely inspires me to do so again. Because of you I now know what I want to be when I grow up: a motion graphic designer! You have inspired me so much, and I think that counts for a lot of people here! Thank you for doing what you’re doing, and being the honest and funny person you are. As well as on KZbin as on Instagram (omg Kimchi has my heart) PS: do you think you have time to check the email i sent you? It is titled ‘Explore The Arts’ if I remember correctly, and you would help me out a lot! Thanks in advance :) The best (new year) wishes from the Netherlands :))

[@AI_00]

Damn

[@stevenory3282]

Am I the only one who thought that Giant Ant piece was unfocused, to the point where it was attempting to "say something about how we live now," but didn't actually say much at all? The design and animation were fantastic, to be sure. But to me the "message," if there was one, was vacuous and banal.

[@NiRudraws]

Someone animated Morgan Freeman, lol

[@alibabaei5968]

Hey Ben, I make 3D animated TVCs for top famous brands, LG home appliances, and Nokia phones, to name a few, but since my country is being sanctioned, I can't make money out of YT, so first, I need someone with whom I can make a team and second get the money for me. If it's ok with you then I can forward you my works to see the quality.
