  • A breakdown of my favorite transition technique, Match-Cuts. I show how they're used in editing a film making, and how we can take that as animators and use them in Motion Graphics using After Effects. I show how I've used the method in my previous personal projects, and commercial work and how the students of my advanced animation course have used them to great effect.
