I can’t believe this is available for free, I’m so grateful.
hi salma
I love seeing your thought process on this kind of stuff... I wouldn't have thought to accomplish this in the way you did, love it!
Thank you! Cheers!
i actually can't believe how simple yet effective it is
As someone who constantly watches tutorials, I can confidently say that Ben is one of the best at explaining everything in super understandable and clear manner. Kudos!
Delivering the goods as always Ben! This is something everyone wants to learn. I wish this was around a few years ago so many hours trying to do frame by frame stuff.
Thanks so much! :D If you were around earlier you would have saved me from some terrible contracts too haha
thank you for making it free
You're a freaking genius. I've been wanting a purely Ae, no plug-in tutorial on cartoon explosions for years, thanks so much Ben 👍
Could you use the roughen effect for easier "dissipation" of the smoke near the end?
Oooo, roughen edges is a very good call. thanks my man! :D
This is easily my favorite MoGraph UA-cam channel. Thank you for producing the exact content I want and need at such a high production quality!
My wife just sent me this video and I dont even know how After Effects work but damn... Thats was a great tutorial. Really well made. Nice done, mate.
What cool ideas do you throw up from seemingly such simple figures! A couple of circles and POOF! Spark! Explosion! Madness! Thanks for the super video!
I was smiling and headshaking during some segments of this tutorial. It's so simple yet so clean looking. You sir, are a boss. Keep up the good work!
I really appreciate all the support and help I received from you!!!
You are a wizard, Ben
Might be one of my favourites of yours yet!
Boom!! Explosions!!! Love it, can’t wait to throw this down on something fun
Thanks mate! Throw this over anything, if your client complains tell them I told you to do it.
@@BenMarriott well given I’m my own client, I’ll let me know that you said for me to do it to myself :p
BEN, you are a saint mate!! The remapping trick is brilliant :)
This is exactly what I needed for a current project - trying to make a thought bubble disappear in a pleasant way. I gasped when I saw your IG post advertising this tut. Works like a charm!
this is so cool!! all your tutorials and techniques are super interesting and creative, and your videos are always so well produced! thank you for posting them ♥
Thank you so much for watching, I couldn't do these without you all. I really appreciate the comment too :D
Crop to region of interest... I'm happy already after learning that shortcut! :D
Such a life saver :D
@@BenMarriott Top class as always Ben, Thank you!
Use the autocrop plugin, it doesn’t reposition the layer if it’s a precomp after cropping!
@@alexbarnet6982 cant recommend autocrop enough, it works so seamlessly. Game changer.
SUCH a good solution. You are once again proving why you're a master. Great shit.
Loving the work Ben! Best tutorials on UA-cam!!
Are you SO genius... I DO LOVE you💓
That was a masterclass on After Effects effects.
Thank you Ben, you are such a creative guy. I would've never thought that it could be done just like that!! I've seen one of the art works from motion design school about the hair wave , and it's honestly time saving, thank you for the content!!
Oh man that's so awesome to read! so glad it's been useful :)
So clever and cool!
Nice. I didn't know about Extract, that is super useful, cheers Ben.
Huge like to this video! Really really useful and easy to make. Thanks a lot.)))
U so talent, Ben!
Mannn this cut out with noise idea is brilliant. Thanks!
You are the MAN. Thanks. Keep up the awesome work.
Man, this is great! I'm currently working on a project that draws heavily from 2D animation and it's great to see how a little ingenuity goes a long way. Thanks so much for sharing your process and tips!
Amazing! Thank you
That's so good Ben! 👍🏼✨
This is brilliant! Especially love the idea of using noise with the extract effect to break up the smoke.
If you envision a certain look and then determine that you would probably need three days of grinding before reaching any kind of result, the real value of which will only become apparent after actually spending that much time, it is always worth considering spending said time viewing, no STUDYING Ben's videos instead, as it will certainly lead to something way better. What an amazing chanel. I deeply envy not only the artistic creativity at play, but even more the procedural ingenuity.
You are a lifesaver as always! This is EXACTLY what I needed!
The video was actually very good
Thank you for the amazing tutorial!
12/10! Gotta say, your teachings are a *blast* to learn from! Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge, it’s super inspiring!
Great tutorial again! Can't wait to see the course you're working on!
Incredibly smart and elegant process! Thanks so much Ben, you're a monster!

Great work flow, i love your channel
Really, really cool tutorial. Great to see you get so much out of a simple circle animation, maintaining control while achieving a very traditional cel animation looking result. This could be applied to so many effects like this! Good inspiration, thank you!
Wow, this is gold Ben! Very useful technique and easy to implement. Thank you for sharing as always!
Very good explanations, you won a sub, mr.
