Somewhere around the middle of the first one I started feeling grumpy about how digital it was, when you bought out the actual TV I pumped my fist in the air, and when you broke out the freaking _plasticine_ I was all just like sickos.jpg. There's still just something so satisfying and impossible to replicate about analog media. Nicely done sir
Haha, thanks so much! Yes, I love getting my hands dirty and combining the two. It taught me so much about what subtle things are missing when it's all created in the computer. :)
Wow. All of them looks great! In that third animation, it was a pure example of using the right references, understanding them, and using them in a right way for me. You're a great artist and storyteller. Thanks a lot for sharing your workflow with us.
you put so much love into these videos and it shows. i get the sense at some point around when you dropped the butt bat intro that you said, "okay, forget what has been done, how can i simplify and distill these video to deliver the highest value at every moment?"
Dude! I'm from Germany and BABYLON BERLIN's opening bothered me so much, you pointed out what I as thinking everytime I watched it. It's an incredible title sequence, especially for a german show, so I'm still happy we have that, but that weird zoom in the end is so wrong! :D Thank you for pointing that out!!
Haha, I thought I was such a pedant putting in that section. I know it won't affect 99.99999% of those watching but your comment let me know I'm not alone.
Massive appreciation for these videos, particularly the parts when you show that you don't always get to your desired result immediately and that the spirit of experimentation and iteration is key to getting across the finish line.
for animating the blobby paths at 1:27, if you select the rotobezier check box with the pen tool, you don’t have to babysit all of the bezier controls to keep everything perfectly smooth!
The second one reminds me of a project I did for work. We were doing a different decade theme every month for our social media content and when I got to the 70's I went with a CRT style. But, being a neurotic perfectionist, just adding some scan lines etc wasn't enough. I remembered watching a video on Technology Connections about how those TVs actually worked. I went down the rabbit hole and built up an overlay for the video that actually mimicked how the phosphor dots displayed color. Took a week of my own extra time to make it, but worth it. Now I need to find that project file so I can try and convert it to a template.
This video is INCREDIBLE Ben! Absolutely love the amount of effort and use of different mediums. Entertaining yet informative with some great tips throughout!
Dude, this is hilarious and ridiculously well edited/paced. The humour hit! I laughed pretty good at "not gonna pay any taxes.” Well done and thank you.
I was so disappointed by the last animation not because it wasn't good it was my favourite one but because it meant that it was almost over! Love your work!
I'm just so happy for seeing your videos. This one in particular really kept me hooked exactly for the problem solving matters and the way you handled just made my day. Thank you once again for the stupid amount of inspiration
Love all 3 but no2 gave me that warm fuzzy feeling, completely nailed the look of tech from my childhood. Another amazing video Ben, so much love and care, and just a joy to watch and be inspired by.
This video was so fun to watch, I absolutely enjoyed every last bit of it. I bet you had more fun making this video, this idea in itself is so refreshing, it makes you appreciate the journey of where we came from, what we got and where we are headed. Thank you for this Ben 🙌
Amazing work! Love seeing how fun the design process can be, and really admire your focus on stepping away from the computer for part of the process, you can really feel the difference
Wonderful practical solutions Ben. There's no question for mine. The muted tones of the psychadelic plasticene marble cake was not only the most creative approach - but also the most visually interesting. Great stuff. Your channel and work always impresses.
I love this animating-logos format, it's entertaining and educative, and the results are always super cool! Also I love that you introduce more and more "real"/analog stuff in the process

Gracias Dude! se aprecia el proceso, más allá de la técnica y formación didáctica en tu canal. El compromiso por mantener vigente esa curiosidad, seguir experimentando y compartiendo tus resultados son inspiradores.
Ben, no3 my fav! There is so much in it, very artistic (99 AE youtube channels lack), but still you have kept it minimal. You nailed the colours! Cheers mate!
Getting the notification of a new Ben Marriot's video always bightens my day/week! I think I like the second one better because I am a sucker for CRT. Thank you Ben for making learning about so many things other than animation so enjoyable you are by far one of the most inspiring people in this platform.
I love your subtle tech commentary in between your motion design videos. Keep it going. I believe that as creatives, despite being eaten by the heavily homogenous industry, and the software and hardware we all use. It's important we don't all lose that ability to criticize and make commentary in our art. Especially that Motion design as a practice is so digitized, productized and corporized these days. If you'll ever create a separate RUclips channel that intersects tech, design and overt industry commentary, whether in a form of a video essay or podcast. I would subscribe to it
I could just feel the TLC you put into each explorations. ✨ It was fun and insightful seeing your progress in achieving each art style! I love the second one. But the last one was a TRIP! I was cheering you on with each addition and milestones you made with it. Felt like i was making it with you haha When you said your project files are available for download my jaw dropped. You are the absolute besttt! 😭 Can’t wait to play around with it. Cheers, Ben! ❤
All this work is beautiful, Ben! The dedication to experimentation was inspiring. Literally getting your hands dirty with it. Stay Bentastic, good sir! Honored to continue to be able to enjoy your content. -The Other Ben
My friend, another great one for the books! That second one was my personal fave, but the techniques on all of them were great! Thanks for making them!
I've missed your videos, but it's been worth the wait! Absolutely stellar work as always. There is something about the way you go through your process (and your humor) that makes it feel like I'm in the room with a friend while they show me their cool work. 😘👌
😂Loved this episode. Apart from that, I was 17 when that iMac ad came out and it was SO breakthrough. I still think is great. She comes is colors everywhere🎶
Wow, always so much to learn from your stuff! And so much great homor thru here too. Absolutely loved all these and showing your motivations from dift years. The first logo design was kinda all i wanted from ae when i first started. Lava lamp style visuals with music visualization by maybe making the blob bounce. Must come back to it, & getting the light just right 👌 Loved the transition from 2 to 3 too and crazy techniques on the third. Such an artist, nice one as always 👏
Love the video as always. I do wonder how it would have looked had the plasticine started with a solid block of colour and then had colours and patterns introduced over time, but the effect still worked
All three are great! But I feel like my favorite would be the third one, I don't know, applying psychedelic effects to a logo motion design seemed so refreshing ! Though I also really admire the second one, brilliantly executed :)
Awesome video! I am considering getting into professional video editing/motion graphics, and this video was really inspiring. You just gained a subscriber!
always loove you outdoing yourself mate! the thing for number 1 that would've been chefs kiss is a bit of blurry transparency so you can see the bg a touch. other than that stellar stuff.

the last one is my fav! so dope
Very dope of you to comment ☺️ thank you
My favorite by far is the old Tv those extra glows around the aperture grille hits different, right into the 90s
Dude, I have huge respect for your work. It's an absolute masterpiece of a video.
My word, thank you for such a kind comment!

taking the inspo from the lava lamp to get the bite snapping into motion is brilliant
The second is my favorite! Love your work :D
Outrageous choice! I coukdnt stop looking at the close up phosphor dots in the CRT. Had to give them an extended moment
@@BenMarriott how do I get that effect without a old display?
Style 2 was beautiful. The CRT dots really brought it together.
I loved the CRT one! ❤ Amazing works as always!
I absolutely love the combination of analog and digital effects you gave these logos animations!
Massive appreciation for these videos, particularly the parts when you show that you don't always get to your desired result immediately and that the spirit of experimentation and iteration is key to getting across the finish line.

The lightning port goes deep my friend...thanks for being our guide! 🎉
I LIVE for this series, please continue making it!
I’m always a fan of a good liquidy hand-drawn blob. Also a 90’s baby. #1 gets my vote!
Dude I hope you're aware of how much of a genius you are. Truly masterful.

did u make it using this guys same video on “how to recreate crt effect”?
This video is INCREDIBLE Ben! Absolutely love the amount of effort and use of different mediums. Entertaining yet informative with some great tips throughout!
I mean, all your tips are beyond amazing, but the pop culture references are where you completely have me
Holy heck this video! You nailed it. Absolutely love the merging of analog animation with after effects. Big ol' JOB WELL DONE, BEN!
my favorite motion designer of all time
Dude, this is hilarious and ridiculously well edited/paced. The humour hit! I laughed pretty good at "not gonna pay any taxes.”
Well done and thank you.
The last one Ben! Given the amount of turns and the way all the learning process lead to the result, it was my absolute fav. Mixed arts for the win!
Bruh you put way too much effort into this and I absolutely love it
legend. Also second one is my fav. Love that it's so stylish and authentic, yet so simple to make.
the plasticine slicing animation idea is so cool! love how you applied that
Love the CRT one. It's just so tactile
I didn't want this video to end. Awesome video. I like them all. If I had to pick one, it would be the first.
I was so disappointed by the last animation not because it wasn't good it was my favourite one but because it meant that it was almost over! Love your work!

Btw I loved the second logo most, retro aesthetics really are so captivating.
Ben’s videos feel like watching your favourite show but at the same time watching a tutorial 🙂 awesome
Very very very very very goooood
I am not religious but I do know that the project file is going to be my holy bible.
the psychedelic one is SICKKK!! love that

those linear keyframes had me in horror at first but it works so well for the style! legend.
Not just the animations are amazing, also the writing and editing of the video itself. Love the transitions and the music!
Danngggg, that's pretty sick ben🎉
loved the retro CRT look
The psychedelic one turned out amazing
Gracias Dude! se aprecia el proceso, más allá de la técnica y formación didáctica en tu canal. El compromiso por mantener vigente esa curiosidad, seguir experimentando y compartiendo tus resultados son inspiradores.
somehow you are able to achieve a new look for 100000 done visuals. The best!
i may have started cheering when you mentioned strata cutting HELL Y E A H
Ben!!! You legend!!!
Ben, no3 my fav! There is so much in it, very artistic (99 AE youtube channels lack), but still you have kept it minimal. You nailed the colours! Cheers mate!
what a great video
Your videos show how much DIY-able many so cool looking things are!
Second and third blowed my mind. Thank you for showing us your experiments, its inspiring and definitely demanded nowadays
The last one was amazing.
Just Amazing! Thanks so much to share your creative process!
Ah man I was all excited to learn how to do that crisp CRT effect. Didn't expect the answer to be "buy a CRT" lol
Getting the notification of a new Ben Marriot's video always bightens my day/week!

Nah newton would agree. That's friction, baby.
You're right Alex. I equivocally deny that that blob was in a vacuum!

you're the art teacher we need!
13:45 well said. I like that analysis
your videos are so great, i recommend you to anyone that wants to learn after effects
This is epic! The last and second to last are so cool! Love your work
wonderful experiment, great art! thanks for the inspiration!
Incredible! I cant even choose
GLORIOUS! This made me smile so much

Loved the transition from 2 to 3 too and crazy techniques on the third. Such an artist, nice one as always 👏
Thanks so much! Applying all that shading on number 1 was very rewarding seeing it get all glossy after working with it in grey for so long.
@@BenMarriott i bet, was super satisfying to see the end result & can only imagine it'd be that much more satisfying to actually do ✌️❤️
Love the video as always. I do wonder how it would have looked had the plasticine started with a solid block of colour and then had colours and patterns introduced over time, but the effect still worked
Brilliant.
I'm always happy to see your videos and the huge effort you put inside them. You make learning so easy and fun :)
The last style is awesome one, when you made somethings from real life and blend it on software it will be really lovely.
Very impressed by your creativity !
All three are great! But I feel like my favorite would be the third one, I don't know, applying psychedelic effects to a logo motion design seemed so refreshing ! Though I also really admire the second one, brilliantly executed :)
Very good Ben. The plasticine result was my favourite. Well worth the effort. I can't stand the oily residue of plasticine.
you're just too good at this 👏🏻
i really like the clay logo
I WAS TORNED why i laugh so much xD
