Why I'm Animating A Million Beans | Motion Design Workflow

- In this video, I'll be walking you through my design and animation process of creating an animation using Adobe After Effects and Illustrator. We'll start by designing in Illustrator, importing and organizing our assets into After Effects. Then, we'll dive into the fun stuff - animating our illustrations and adding effects to bring our project to life. This animation is for a collaboration with my students which I'll be revealing in the coming weeks.

Implying you need an excuse to animate a million beans
Otherwise the whole cherade falls down in a million pieces all coated in a sweet tomato based sauce
@@BenMarriott I eat beans with orange juice

The excuse is “because you can”
Thank you Ben for not destroying the space-time continuum with the detailed beans
You are welcome. And to think... 99.9% of the world will never know how close we came to complete annihilation.
after effects and beans, my two favourite things 😍

You are a kind soul. And one who shares so many of my interests :)

I was just fretting the other day that I needed to make pebbles for my fish tank in After Effects, but no one on RUclips understood my niche need...
*two days later* Ben Marriot: Hey! I made and ANIMATED a millon beans that look alot like pebbles, let me show you how I did it!
Thank for being that one RUclipsr that understands what "niche designer" means 😂😂😂
Amazing! Crazy how it works like that sometimes. Good luck with your pebble journey. The time to make the pattern seamless in the beginning is definitely worth it in the end.
the editing and pace of the video is godlike, truely a masterpiece
your editing is so professional and eye pleasing, i love everything you make
You’re too kind, thank you.
most subtle "flick the bean" of all time
Gotta be sneaky to get it past the censors!
Thank you for another cool beans video! I appreciate you including your experiment that crashed Ai, feels reassuring that it's not just me breaking things. Hope you have a good new year! To everyone else too!
Thanks! Since getting into the bean niche I was never sure it was the right decision until this video.
the best heinz beanz animation I've ever seen
Now this is what motion graphics is all about. ❤
Okay, Did it really take 12 weeks!!! That's insane ... Highly appreciate what you teach here on youtube for free man. Thank you.
Bravo! Best yet! Thank you for sharing Ben!
Enjoyed every moment of this... Thanks Ben you're a real one.
Bean Marriott, the master of the bean world! May the beans ever be in your flavour... or something like that.
I think he filled the criteria very well, awesome job!
You know, I look at the beans on my desk every day. But I never thought to animate them. Clever.
People who are skilled at design amaze me! Cool project.
One way to do an easier "detailed bean" would be to use the radial grandient with Highlight, Light, Shadow (+ Light again if you fell like it) colours, in that order.
That way you move the single gradient sphere and all the colours follow, and those can even become eliptical for a different effect.
But overall;
🍲Great Beans🍲
This is 100% the content I am here for. Also, excellent job again with the music bed Ben 👌
Thanks Cody! The first track is my favorite yet. Still working on it for the full collab project which should be out in a week or two. Don't listen too closely to the mix I have no idea what I'm doing XD
Beans! Thanks for the fabulous content Beany Ben. It's much appreciated.
These videos are super interesting. Your breakdowns are very insightful. Thank you.
It's beautiful.
And I learnt something.
Awesome!
New Ben Marriott video.
Cool beans.
The best thing about the can planet is that it allows a round earth, a flat earth, AND a hollow earth. Everyone wins!
Hollow earth! How could I not think if that. The can is truly the shape of the people
Doing any sort of work in After Effects and not going insane is worth a pat on the back.
So good - you aced both criteria! Enjoyed the vid tremendously. Also nice that more and more of the animation terms are making sense to me now as I tackle the task of mastering AE (with lots of help of course!). As always, your contents is inspiring! Thanks, Ben!
I'm so glad I'll be part of the Lord of the Beans amazing collaboration 👏👏
1:02 that is one neat transition
that was amazing, love it!
now this is art
Who else was excited to see Ben animating beans
oh just me? okay.
Hi Ben, I got an advice for your problem in assigning the texture to all the beans in the same time in Illustrator: you need to reset the beans orientation coordinates, so just create a merged object with all the beans, then separate it again (by selecting the whole new object and deselecting just one beans, then doing a simple cut and paste in the same position...). Let me know if this could help...
And of course thanks a lot for your brilliant tuts!
Genius! Thank you
It’s my birthday today and this was an amazing present to wake up to
That's some gooooood beans!
Desk Beans are often a good source of inspirations.
To beans, or not to beans, that is the question
Beans, always beans. That is the answer.
Love your videos! Keep it up!
Damn I love beans and Ben sm
I want to be honest for the first part if i were u i will jump to blender u can do that in 2 min with scattering objects using geometry node any motion design should use or implement blender in thier workflow that's being said the result looks fancy as always
I would have just as soon suggested, if he wanted to keep this in After Effects, that he use Trapcode Form-but he purposefully laid out the beans in such a way that there are intentionally no overlaps, so I'd guess either programmatic solution might not reflect what he was going for. That said, totally agree, this is a great tutorial.
Exactly! xD
@@SUSLTD working with a big amount of duplicate objects needs preclude work flow and animating every thing buy hand is a painful experience. And it is also possible to not overlap them at all and in a random matter as will as make their scale falloff from top to bottom using simple proximity
@@SUSLTD i dont have any knowledge of programming in aftereffects but it should have something for scattering and loop
@@jamaldpeat7950 oh totally! In agreement with you there-there probably WOULD be ways to programmatically animate this, but it'd likely have to be C4D or some other 3D-native program. I just know that particle systems isn't something with which After Effects natively has any prowess, so I get why OP took the route he did!
love it
Cool!
Perfection.
i imagine blender being added on that part of workflow that beans with cartoon texture will be just fine
Like the humour in your demos, Ben.
Cool!!!!!!
I wish my teachers did interactive exercises like that
Stopped watching your videos for a while... But like all good things, if it's yours you get it back. I love this so muchhh!!! Haaahaha! Beans
really cool
Realy good
Good tip about googling war crimes - will be using this hack for all my upcoming animations in after effects
Very cool ✅✅
The prophecy is becoming, Beans Marriott
This is some good beans.
Big fan of flicking beans myself Ben
Never thought I'd see someone flick their bean on RUclips, but here we are!
When you're out with the boys, scouring the multiverse at 3AM looking for BEANS!!!!
We've all bean there
Everyone is talking about how good this was but who realized that he RANDOMLY hat a can of beans on his DESK.
client note: can you make the bean juice on the cursor come off after the collision, like water off a windscreen, so that way the cursor is clean in the first loop. and it'll look better in subsequent loops.
nah, that actually makes sense, it''s more an art director note. it's rare that clients actually provide logical notes.
Beans. Well you’ve got my sub
this is what i aspire to become
"At the time of recording" 😂
Gotta cover myself and stay ahead of the news
I read the title "million bears" and thought the picture shows the mid process of making bears.
My mistake, but I don't regret watching this video. Cheers!
Idea was amazing!!! GOOD
Bean Marriot with the win
Thank you good sir for animating me
awesome
Immediately subscribed 💀💀💀
I'm animating a transition, with fishes swimming across the screen. It's basically the same fish in different sizes. Is there a repeater for compositions so I won't have to copy/paste them all? I've tried RepeaTile and Motion Tile but there's very little control options to make it look random (spacing, for instance).
you are amazing
you should make one of these for the public where we can all compete
clicked and liked for merely this title alone
twparso will be proud and grateful
MORE MORE MORE !!!
This may sound harsh but im just starting in adobe , no experience before and you can get better results in 10 mins not 12 weeks on the beans , or unreal engine would be even quicker with lumen and rtx
This should be used for a Heinz Baked Beans advert.
Nice work, ever tried using substance designer? It could have saved you a lot of time for the beans texture.
I’m not a designer by any means but I figured there must be some tool to help simulate 2 dimensional lighting
because its cool
great video 😂😭
Yes you did 🥰
prior to ben posting this, i watched a video of somebody replacing 3D texture assets in Iron Lung. One of such attempts was to turn an ocean of blood, into bean soup.
my god this is tastey i like your style bean mariott
Thanks my friend! Do you prefer baked beans in tomato sauce.... or ham sauce....?
@@BenMarriott tomato sauce for sure
how to get good in after effects im still learning
Would it not have been possible to use a light in 3d space to light the beans? Great vid btw!
Right? Or maybe a flat texture with a normal map?
Good Beans.
something you never animated before: something good
🫘 wow! So many beans 🥣🫘
This must've bean stressful but it paid off!
You can bet a celebrated with an ice-cold pint of beans that day after work.
The beans. There is a way to do on Photoshop using smart objects and saved FX presets using gradient and shadows on Global Light.
Cool beans
Now Thats What I Call Beans
As a bean gang member, i approve
Mmmmm Beans, Beans, the Magical Fruit! The more you eat, the more ... Toot 🤣
I ate beans alot so this is dope XD
it feels like some kind of NFT
Needed to have the bean-sea mirrored above/below, and change colours, AND occasionally flip to vertical orientation, along with 'MY GOD, It's full of beans' somewhere.
you're a mad man
Wow, this is so cool! If it were me, would've separated the Sea of Bean into 3 or 4 different layers to add a bit of a parallax effect.
*"Sorry teacher, I couldn't finish my test, I was animating a million beans"*
Because you can hehe
I might have to make a follow up video just to include this joke. This is wonderful
"Heinz beans war crimes"
I like your funny words, magic man
