Day 3 – Do you even lift, bro?

by //

Ladies and Gentlemen, Day 3 has arrived. I’ll let you see the GIF first and then I’ll ask you what you think I did this morning.

Day3 - Lifting
Day 3 – Do you even lift, bro?

Well, can you guess? Core day at the gym.

I took today as an opportunity to play with Rubberhose. I’ve only really used it a couple times, generally opting for Duik instead. I do really love this Plugin though and how quickly this one was able to be put together (less than 15 mins) is a testament to the usability of this little gem.

I also whipped out OC eyes, another plugin that makes character animation just way too easy.

#15minmograph Challenge

by //

So in the past week, I came across a little challenge – #15minmograph.

It all started in my School of Motion Alumni group, one member, Ryan Plummer, challenged himself to create something in 15 mins and posted the result. I was totally struck by the idea. I have wanted to create something daily, I even toyed with the idea of a vlog but I don’t necessarily want my personal business up online more than it is now and wanted something more motion design and animation based, as my love for the field is only growing. This was perfect. Even on my busiest day, how can I not find 15 mins to create something small and creative? And so, I joined in.

The rules are pretty simple and whilst on a couple of occasions, I have broken them, which I will go into more details about day-by-day, the restriction amps to the creativity.

I will try to maintain this daily for as long as possible, I won’t beat myself up if I don’t get to it or skip a day, but I will try and I will post the results here and on Instagram. Feel free to click through to the post going in-depth at each challenge day.

30 Days of AE – The Predki

by //

Jumping ahead – not because I didn’t do the tutorial but because I didn’t like the result – to Day 8 of School of Motion’s 30 Days of After Effects.

This one show a technique dubbed “The Predki” and is described as the go-to technique for bouncy and fun animations.
