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
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.
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!
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)
I just loved all the tips that you provided. I was really having the hard time learning motion designs, but after watching this video I have a confidence that I can improve myself.
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.
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 RUclips 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.
That’s an excellent point I didn’t consider to master graphic design principles and it makes sense how I was having issues with coming up with a composition
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.
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.
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!
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.
Didnt know I need this information so bad - great video thanks! also nice its compact and well explained. :) especially the thing that you need to see it from the viewers eyes. also love your esports motion design^^ great work!
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.
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.
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
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
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

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!
wait for me to have a career in motion design, what college course should I get?? Multimedia art or animation? I need answer, I'm about to go to college soon 😭😭
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?
Here are a few tips for you: Set clear goals and create a plan of action Build a professional portfolio Market yourself effectively through your website and social media Determine your rates and don't undervalue your work Communicate effectively with clients and provide regular updates Stay organized with project management software or apps.
Hi im a graphic designer, now back on market for work. Lot of the jobs I see say needs motion graphics - does this mean I should learn Ae and do some projects?
I can't decide whether to purchase a beginners School of Motion course of After Effects or just collect free tutorials to learn the basic and grow from there. Any suggestions? I'm already a visual designers with an academic background in branding - and interactive design. Want to add animation to my branding work now.
@@godwinledwaba7837 You know of any alternatives for AE? I just do not like the idea of monthly subscription... and really considering on getting Moho since I plan on mastering 2d animation (a specific type of it any way)... I think I can incorporate it with other software that are more effective for motion design/graphics.

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。
Solid tips man! Been at a large advertising firm as a Motion Designer for a few years and I'd second all of these

Some solid tips here, well done 🙏🏿
Can someone Explain me the animation at 0:48 how does it does that and looks smooth and cool is this done by rotation and scaling?
it can be achieved by add a simple wiggle expressions to the position property of the layer.
Thanks, this is very helpful!
