A run-through of the Keyframe Kid intro sequence. In the video I’ve shown the project file and what it is comprised of and what each of the layers are doing. There is a lot going on in the comp so I try to keep the detail sparse but giving enough information to knows going on.
Point-by-point here are some of the topics I discuss:
- Workspace optimisation to maximise workspace - Adjustment Layers - Working with 2D layers and 3D particle generators (Trapcode Form) - My workflow and how I could improve it, mainly descriptive layer naming
Just a little suggestion, you may like to go full-screen for this, some of the details are subtle.
If there are any areas that you want to know more about or if you’ve got any questions just ask and I’ll do my best to help. If you’d like to get in contact about anything then feel free to use the contact form or to keep up-to-date on the daily happening of the Keyframe Kid then you can follow me on twitter where I am quite active.
Hello everyone, how are you guys doing? My name is Youssef Sarhan and welcome to my latest endeavor, KeyframeKid.com. I’m a graphic design student from Dublin, Ireland. I have set up this website to learn more about motion graphics and visual effects. In my line of education and work I mainly focus on print design, which I love, but I am hungry for motion. You can read more about graphic design over at WhiteInk Blog, where myself and my friend Tim Phelan write about all things graphic design. I believe that there is a close method of thought between all fields of design, and I hope I can bring my experience with print design into the world of motion design.
I have always being amazed by animation; I remember making stop-motion videos with a video camera as a kid; seems strange, when I could have just recorded it. But I loved the idea of creating the animation frame by frame. I would set up the toys and record for a second, the move them and record another second, and so on; this resulted in a 1fps animation with no sound or music. I would rewind, then play and watch the tape in total amazement.
Ok so this is a short intro post, I hope to keep the posts snappy with a main focus on the video. I hope to do tutorials, some general chat about motion, about specific topics, showcasing work I like or find, anything related. So I hope you guys sign up and let me know what you think.
Hey, my name is Youssef Sarhan and I'm a graphic design student. I am from Dublin, Ireland and I'm studying at The National College of Art & Design. As a graphic designer I mainly work on printed design but hopefully this will serve as a platform to explore, share and discuss motion design, lets all get involved and share our experience.
