Hi everyone,

Long story short: I really want to learn motion design -whether it be to start a creative career or just as hobby- and have recently decided to just go ahead and do it. However, I am looking for a good course in graphic design to get the basics first (I don’t have any experience in the creative business). I send a email to the Futur to ask which of their courses they would recommend for a complete beginner. Their recommendations were the lettering, logo design and grids and layout course.

Now I am not going to lie, their courses seem pretty expensive for the amount of course hours you get. They also have a book recommendation on their website.

What do you guys thinks: should I take their courses or buy the books and learn that way or do you guys have other recommendations?

Good afternoon, everyone. At the moment I'm not working as a Motion Designer, I am working as a generalist designer for an agency, so I'm studying how to create more visually professional posts. During the night, I study motion. Do you think that this type of study ends up helping to develop better projects in the area of motion?

Hey everyone! I am trying to break into the motion design industry. Graduated college last May and have been focusing on Motion Design ever since. I finished my first reel, but I would love a second look and receive any commentary before I edit it. I'll copy the Vimeo link if any of you would like to look at the credits as well.

Parallax Photography After Effects - by Gabe Robertson

Hi fellow motion designers,

I'm currently working on a short documentary that uses a lot of archival footage.

I am looking for elegant 2.5D / Parallax Photography references. I have images in my head from WWII documentaries and title sequences, but I'm having a hard time pinpointing these.

The example video is from Gabe Robertson's 'Parallax Photography After Effects' on YouTube.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I want to showcase my 2d and a 3d motion graphics reel. I have been working for a agency as a junior mostly creating content for social media and now I would like to get started as a freelance so any advice here is welcome.

Quick backstory. Department is in the middle of building out a video for our marketing team. We've combined live action for title sequences and have relied on DCC (Blender + After Effects) for product features. Products lean heavily towards military.

Caveat. We're struggling with building an intro that showcases our hardware.

Currently, intro is just 3D turntables of each larger system on transparent BG and comped in AE. Some systems are as large as a ship and some the size of a missile.

Looking for ideas on presenting real world objects of varying scale for a roughly 15 second intro. 3 major concepts with 5 pieces per.
