I love the part about understanding graphic design principles. I would go further to say, if you can make a frame look pretty, the viewer can be a lot more forgiving when it comes to the motion. Animators animate for other animators- most people don't care about the tiny little chroma abberation you put on that tiny grunge pixel in the corner lol. Get good at graphic design or illustration, and you'll stand out from the other motion designers who are "technically" good. Just my opinion though...
everything is subjective.
there are moments and scenes where the rhytm, sound design and overall feeling of the animation is much more satisfying them what it is actually made of and how it looks in still frame.
Good graphics and the overall "integrity" of the frame, really important, but often to succeed in their project just lacks quality motion, details and little things that will make the overall experience more interesting and memorable. In some products this is the only thing an expert can do. but that's just my opinion too xd
Good tip. That sounds like a trap that's easy to fall into!
Awesome tips. I love the idea of having 'keywords' to focus the style of the design.
I also learned "backwards" going from needing video elements as an editor to embracing motion design to finally actually studying design.
Hey George, you're quickly becoming a huge design influence/mentor for me. Just putting it out there, would you ever consider releasing an advanced design course, or advanced motion design course? If not, it would be amazing if you could even walk through one project from the beginning and hit the highlights of your process. Maybe post it as a series? It would be really helpful to see your process, and how you make the macro and micro decisions and how it all comes together in the end.
Very good advices, straight to the point and a impeccable taste in design. You've earned yourself another subscriber, keep up the good work !
Same!!
Thank you so much for these tips! I'd love more in-depth videos on animation concepts like how to achieve a certain style and hierarchy, maybe through critiquing a piece of work and analyzing these concepts in it,.. like why we were able to focus on this element instead of that, why this certain movement gave us this feeling, etc... Or even walk us through some of your work an explain the thought process behind your animation decisions.
I don't find lots of content about that online, one that goes into the conceptual skills behind animation and its relation to design, and how to establish both hierarchy and a "mood" with animation, rather than just the tools and how to achieve a certain technique.
Really good information. Helps those who don't know where to start, I know I worked a little backwards as well, but there is no cutting corners if you want to do it right.
your videos are super helpful for someone like myself whos fresh out of college looking for a desig job, thank you so much!
The first tip is absolutely the most valuable one. If you can design very well, your animation will drastically look better. Even with simple animations!
This video was incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for putting this together 💜
oh yeah, this is gonna help me with my current motion design journey
This solidified my understanding of some of the things i already did and some new things i needed to know as well,. thanks man!
Awesome content. I'm a graphic designer who's entering motion design world and your tips are super useful! Thank you! +1 subscriber
Impressive! I don't even wonder about how much effort you've put to produce this video. Incredible quality, thanks for sharing. :)
You did such a great job simplifying something that would otherwise be a very slow process to understand through trial and error, which I think a lot of creators without formal education go through. Definitely saving this one!
thankyou for your vids it really help me as a newbie in this field.
Really succinct, no bullshit. Packed full of very practical ideas, all under 5 minutes. Great video!
Great video! Thanks for sharing it here. It's so helpful for me as someone who want to start graphic design and animation ^^
You are amazing, I just switch to soft softs and I am loving everytNice tutorialng about it. It much easier then my last program.
0:21 Rules of graphic design also apply animation (master the principles of design graphic first)
1:15 Importance of creating context & themes in your animation (create 3 key words for reference)
1:56 Learning to lead the viewers eyes with your animation (where do you want them to look so they can digest the info one piece at a time)
2:39 Not everything needs to move (you avoid animating objects that can distract the viewer & disrupt hierarchy)
3:14 Tools and Resources (free and paid)
Bro timestamps a 5 minute video?💀
@@vasurao7587 why not? it helps to see something in particular from the video
This comment should be pinned!
Thanks man.
Great tips, and awesome style! Love them.
Your work makes me excited to work. Thank you.
thank you for this straight to the point video
Officially starting my journey for motion this was helpful
Exactly what i wanted out of the video. No clickbait, just solid concise info about art direction. Ty!
Respect to your good work, thanks a lot
Some solid tips here, well done 🙏🏿
It worked for my 64-bit PC. Thanks a lot.
thanks for this video bro, really apreciated
Great tips, thanks for making this!
Really interesting and refreshing tips !
subscribed! i'v been working on motion from 2002, started with macromedia flash 5 and hell yeah learned few new things ^here^
Great advices, totally agree !
Solid tips man! Been at a large advertising firm as a Motion Designer for a few years and I'd second all of these
studying more of your videos to begin to get comfortable. Thank you!
Damn! Worked like a charm! Thank you soooo much!
Thanks, this is very helpful!
Just about to transition to a motion design role and really appreciate your video coming up in my feed, have a sub! Learnt a lot from our boy Seso too! 100 Thieves knows the talent!
Not everything needs to move-similar to how in graphic design not everything needs to be complex and if you have a strong enough design it can hold its own.
I actually like this I took motion graphics classes in college, but I struggled with them. I think because 1. My skills weren’t there and 2. I overcomplicated everything
I would love to get back into animated stuff now that I’m more confident in my work. It’s sad how I feel I’ve learned and increased my skills more through my own projects and CZcams videos as opposed to what I did in school… I feel like I’ve had to relearn a lot of basics because they weren’t properly taught to me.
Thank you for sharing the plugins! For those glitchy effects I remember having to hand make them, which isn’t hard, but why work harder when you can work smarter??
And I’ll be checking out those learning resources.
school in general sucks for creative work like design, languages, crafts, etc. Anything that's not math, science or one of the major degrees, you're genuinely better off studying at your own, unless you want a community for it; that's what arts school should be for.
Great advice!
Thank you for sharing
In regards to theming it's also really important to get a "what" question from your client. As in, what are they trying to convey; having a theme in mind based on pre-existing design work is nice, but make sure to get specifics.
Thank you!
Excellent Advice
TNice tutorials man is so good at explanation ...since I have been watcNice tutorialng soft soft tutorials , tNice tutorials is my first ti to really understand it . I love soft
I like your Style! Keep it up!
Reaaaaally usefull tips man. There also something important... Storyboard!
Thanks needed it!
I always try to think about what story am I trying to tell with this animation. It helps with creating a script for te motion so you know where to start where to lead and how to finish.
Wonderfull video and loved the tips. 😋
Great video!
This video is helpful!
love the music in the background - Jinsang 60 degrees
Always top nodge ❤️
incredible possibilities to those who master it. I am almost done with my first track, but there is so much more to discover and learn. TNice tutorials
Nowack with the banger content!
great video i agree with the most of the things you said
You must mention about "Principles of Animation". A lot of motion designers overlook it because they think it's for cartoons, but it applies very well to anything motion. You talked about thinking which one should move first, it's called Staging in animation.
Master Oogway I really loved your After effects tutorials!
Спасибо! Очень полезные советы.
i learned new stuff thank you
very, very nice!
Thanks man 👌🏾
Nice man!
It's a very good video ! Thanks :)
Really informative! TY
Happy to help 🙏
Great tips! I would also add learning the 12 principles of animation.
Absolutely Yotam
Great video
Awesome!
so good!
Just found you while typing in Motion Design into CZcams! I feel like you're gonna be the next upcoming Motion Design content creator!
This comment made my day! Thank you so much Zak.
Nice tutorial,
Thank you so much for this contect
great content
Nice!
These are geniunely Great tips as a begiinner to Motion Design. I use apple motion and finding resources to teach specofic to the program is hard so i'll learn the actual art first though any tips will be appreciated
Great video! Sharp, sweet and to the point.
Thank you
nice one!
Totally agree with the rule no. 1
I am loving everytNice tutorialng about it. It much easier
I basically know everytNice tutorialng there is to know about soft soft but I still watched tNice tutorials through just because of how good you explained
So interesting i always thought motion designers started off as graphic designers first and then niched down to motion
thank you for the hierarchy tip..
seems like you broke the first rule of fight club telling us all this shit, but thank you this has helped me tremendously, feels like i got a 5 min lecture from a professor
Instant subscribe 🤩
Wow you are so underrated
Fx console is the best thing to ever download. God sent
Great video! But i have a question. What about the softwares? Should we master some other softwares before we start to use motion graphics software like after effects etc?
tip 4 is gold
03:35 especially thanks for free resources 🤩💛
Wow I didn't realize you did all that amazing graphic work for 100 Thieves! consider me a new subscriber!
My town was two small to really quarantine we only had like 25 infectious people.
great video! you should use some color grading to your videos. It would definitely finalize them
u should make a video on how you did that pixel distort transition thing at 2:25 in your 100T gg graphic! love that
Wave warp, make it really dense and then turn the type to noise and mess with the settings
@@valthvisuals thanks bro def gonna mess around with that!
tutorials on exercises for beginners? I really like the content, subscribed :D
Yeah I can definitely do something like that!
Nice video
It was the sa for , In the GMS I switched the "Program" to "Analog app 1 TE"
🔥🔥🔥
Good video George H. "Nowack Design" Nowack 🙂👍
一、掌握平面设计的基本原理（节奏、对比、层次、结构）有助于动态设计。
二、设计之前可以创建3个关键词来构建主题，并以此联系动画的上下文。
三、尝试用动画来引导观众的眼睛。
四、并不是所有的元素都需要运动。
五、时常访问行业内的一些网站和工具，保持好奇心。
