Freelance animation, illustration & motion design
I made it! Day 10!!! What’s 15 x 10? That is how many minutes I have spent on this #15minmograph challenge.
This week Ryan Plummer (the originator of the challenge) suggested focussing on patterns, so I did. I only had 10 mins realistically today so I kept it simple and tried to build the pattern on it a way that draws the down the image, by offsetting and cascading the motion. It is simple and clean but I like it.
This time I was inspired by fellow members of the School of Motion Alumni group. At this stage, 3 members have tackled the offset stroke look for their #15minmograph submissions and it works so well. With little effort, you can stylise your design and amp up your follow-through animation.
On top of that, it was nice to get back to bounces and then, inspired by the fact that the last few submissions have ignored the resolution restriction, I played with the space itself, the barriers of the 1000×1000 square forming the barriers of the trap.
I knew what I was going to do today. I had recently seen a tutorial by ECAbrams (definitely check out his tutorials) that bound lines to track points in moving footage and used this as a text reveal. I have always wanted to pull off this effect and so I dove in very excitedly. I’ll admit, I gave the tutorial another squizz before searching for my footage (again found on Pixabay) and opening the comp. I also excluded the time 3D Camera was analysing and mapping the footage, which is fair, I was just sitting there waiting and it took precious minutes. In the tutorial Abrams used Plexus, which I have not made the leap to purchase, I opted for using Beam effect to build the lines and a couple expressions to anchor each end.
The results…
