Im going to be honest, I NEVER EVER bought a course online, but after seing this video and looking at their website to see their logo animation course at 50% off I had no choice, just take my money you guys. Looking forward to improving my skills!
Amazing tutorial! Watched it a few times and saved it for later. Used the first three techniques already. Love your guys' content, and love your courses, big thank you! Keep them coming!

Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge. I was scratching my head trying to understand how the liquid stuff was achieved, with my only knowledge being of the basic stroke technique you led with/Cc mercury/ and vauge knowledge of vegas.

Guys why are you sooooo good?
thanks, this a cool
you guys are DOPE .. the sound designs are very cool thou alongside with everything else
much love ❤
at 11:26 the Latter g is actually a path, I'm really curious to know how did you make it that perfect?
"ordinary answers not allowed" 😂😂😂😂
Sensacional! 🇧🇷
Wonderful
Damnnn this is awesome
Great video! Could you do a tutorial how to create moving collage animations like in 13:29? :)
I am currently self teaching Motion Design. And this video came acrossed to me is like a blessing in disguise. Why is this even free? Thank you. You earn a new subsriber. 😊
Can you explain drop letter and bouncing letter in detail? What effect did you use?
wow! cool
I like very much what you can do with After Effects. For me as a non-professional artist, the pricetag of Adobe is too high.
Indeed, there are quite a few alternate, even free programs about! I'd very much love to see you take on the challenge of animating text with for example Krita. I know you're very skilled already so I hope you won't let us down. ;-)
hanks For amazing guide, also looking for this kind of sound/vocal effect can you guide please. 1st at begining 2nd is one at 5:34
OMG SUPER！！！
How can I get subscribed again? this video it's pure gold
Thanks
Does anyone have tips about rhytm section?
How to control the speed of each layer? That will be helpful
please make a part 2
You gotta pimp your motion, you gotta pimp your motion 🎵
Do you know any examples or how to go about animating lettering with a thick outline stroke? Should the outline pop out from the letters after it’s written on? Thanks!
How do you make the bouncy text after doing the write on effect? wouldn't the masks being moved reveal the areas without the write on?
Another episode pliss !!!!!!!!!
What affect do you call the opening sequence? the shots rolling down like that please?
Nice
great video
thanks, we're doing our best
What plugin are you using to search and apply Effects to your layers?
Is there a possibility that soon you would make motion designs using Davinci Resolve... That would be really nice. I currently take your tips and try to replicate them in Davinci Resolve... It's super slow to achieve but turns out fairly okay
How to you easily search effects in that search bar on bottom left at 1:08. Saw it somewhere but can't remember. Need that workflow hack because going to the effects panel to search every time is slow and clunky. Thanks!
gold
Bravoo!
Bravvoo to you :)
niceee
How did you make the brush shape at 2:44? Is that multiple shapes in that one shape layer?
I'll just send this video to my client and tell him to do it on his own..
