  • In this After Effects workflow tutorial, I breakdown my easy process for creating this liquid reveal animation. I'm using this amazing illustration from the wonderfully talented Pierre Kleinhouse.

    Ben, thank you so much for pointing out at the end how long it took to animate this scene. It's a super important reminder to all those people that thinks that creative work is all about talent only and completely forget the amount of labor involved in it.

    • @BenMarriott
      @BenMarriott  4 роки тому +30

      Thanks man! I'm going to start doing that at the end of all my videos. I remember being baffled when I learned how long some animations can take, even really simples ones.

      This information is gold! I always think I take too long to accomplish my animations. This shows me not only that I don't, but I can confidently estimate timeline for clients without guilt. Thank you!

    @sherifmuhammad4635 4 роки тому

    Oh wow this is a great process video! It's nice to see the thinking behind all the little details. Normally I would approach this thinking only about the major stuff like the matte and liquid motion but the small stuff like the line on the liquid, bubbles, skull jaw, smirk and so on make this come to life and takes it to a much higher level. Thanks for sharing, Ben!

    You are a genius when it comes to both animation and motion knowledge. I'm a rookie in animation, so when I see how much detail you put into your animation and all the subtle, secondary movements that you add that brings more of an illusion of physics, I'm just blown away! And it's one thing to know what to do but to be able to do it so simply I am in constant awe of that as well! And I always love how precise and concise your videos are. I realized that's a little rare. Cheers! PS: I'm a big fan.
