GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ Some Freelance Animation Work :)

Posted by: Todd Simpson Dec 18 2014, 08:06 AM

Thought I'd share a bit of animation/graphics work that I'm doing of late. These are "graphics bumps" for a client @ Cal Arts (an Art School in California). Let me know if there is one you like best? Curious what you guys think?

I"m using the SHOUT tune as the backing Anyone else do anything graphics related?

Very nice Todd! I can't really pick a favorite because they are all pretty sweet.

I used to dabble around with Adobe After Effects in high school for film projects but nothing ever turned out like this

What do you mainly use to do all these?

Thanks! This is all done with AFTER EFFECTS CC. I downloaded the FREE trial version!

But for the SPECIAL SAUCE to do all the spiff particles/animaton/explosions etc. I"m using the RED GIANT TRAPCODE PLUGIN SUITE!! Which is also available for free trial download

As someone with absolutely no knowledge of doing anything 'graphics' I think they are all pretty spiff!!

Well thanks dude!! The client is happy so far so I"m happy too

Those are all pretty awesome. I think I like the spacey looking one at about 2:10. How long does it take you do make something like that?

Hey Todd, looks awesome. Trapcode is very powerful. I work with it too. I recently started my own company for making audiovisual productions.

From scratch it would take quite a while. Depending on the skill of the Artist it could 5 to 20 hours. I"m using bits that I either built previously and modified and / or bits that I've collected from all over the web. So it was about 3 hours each building/rendering/tweaking each one.

Cool stuff!! If you ever need a freelancer who is good and quick, shoot me a message!!!

I often sub contract work to give the principal artist more time for other stuff.
