Transcripts

1. About class: Hello everyone. In this course we agree this dope I loop, which will be your final project. But at the same time, my purpose was to share some of knowledge that will be useful in your future independent work. If you're a beginner, I think that this will be very hard for you. Don't worry, I explain every of my stem. Ensure that you are done a great job. Have fun. Let's start. 2. Lesson 1 Create eye: That's the first thing is of course we could weird New Composition. Click here which name will be at I, loop ratio will be one-to-one. In my case, we the hay will the 1500s by a 1500 words frame rate honestly doesn't matter. Duration will be five seconds only background-color LSA doesn't matter. Click OK. The next thing, we create, new, new solid, which in our case will be a background. Background, good for color. American Foundation for this course will be a warm white, a warm yellow. You can go to the Google search for warm yellow hex. And that was actually the first side. Just clip it for example, I like this one. Let's copy this one. It's up here for future in case, for example, because you can't change the color right now after we create the solid. And, but for example, if you'll want you to change another one, you're interested in ethics and Presets, search for fill. Right now we've done the copy. I just show you what you can do in future in case if we're the ones who will change their color, feel applying your solid. And here you can change the color on wherever you want. What's right now we don't use this one when we have our yellow. The next thing is, of course we create new. We create a shape, go here and choose ellipse tool. Be sure that fill is just click on Fill. Let's call her yes. For a solid color, we'll have this hex FFD, BAC, just copy please. And stroke border. First of all, that color will be black and the thickness will be 15. Be sure that you don't click edit your background so that you didn't click on this one here. And create something like this. Let's change the position. The position. Let's place somewhere here in the middle. Right now. First of all, of course, given him, I mean, I let us call this like this men. The next thing of course, let's add a few efficacy because I didn't say that look better. But for our purpose, we need something else. The first ethically them, one of my favorite is there are thin edge apply on your eye shape. And right now you can see the difference of sorry, for quality. Without, with, without. Our settings will be border 12. Edge sharpness will be 2.9. Good. Fructose influence will be 082, which we, the head will be around 2.2, and complexity will be ten. Now, you can see the difference one more time without. The next one will be turbulent displays. Here. You see how the shape changes right now, let's play around with this. Displacement would help if we had a few settings, but we will stay on turbulence with low variable to do this one for amount will be 21 and size will be a fortune. While we don't need a big changes, something similar to our default shape, you create. Complexity will be at 1.7. Right now. Don't copy it, just first of all, look to understand what I do. And after you will do the same thing. If you'll click Play, you see that we have just a shape that state one place, but we need to change a little bit of motion, a little bit of movement to make our loop a little bit more interesting. So for this one, how I see, first of all, just look open evolution options in here you have random seed, tip, Alt, and left-click. Here. You're right. Time multiply, let's say on foot. Just look what we have right now. So you see the movement. If it's something more value, for example, let's say 28 will be too fast, but just let's look on this one. Not in our case. In our case I think four is very good. So this thing is very useful. Let's move on. This is actually a very useful there they usually use in some works and when you cannot create, when you can from aesthetic shape to add some movement. So remember this one and I think heart lay around. And let's move forward with the next one will be globe. Glow, Stylize and Glow apply on your eye. Glow 33. So I didn't know what it is worth. Three is called, we will be 71, something like this. You don't see the big difference right now, but trust me, when we will add a little bit of texture, you'll understand that this is useful effort. Actually, if you don't want you to use no problem. But my recommendation to you, this one for now for our course. Great. Let's move on. We've finished with Maine. I, and I would like to add a little honestly. No, I forgot about one thing. So we have this motion, but she's still stay at one place. We like to, you know, to add a little bit more movement. And of course we can open position and just create keyframes, but it's too boring, is too long. Can you know? No one said that you would like your final results for this one. We have another say this formula. First of all. First of all, look what they do and after you can copy it, again, I'm gonna hear Blues plus left-click, left-click, and you're right, legal. In our case, it will be 225. So the first thing, the first value in response about speed, and the next one is about movement. Let's see what we have right now. You see, she starts to move around. Let me add a little bit more to make you see the difference. But there's two mucus too much for us. That's, for example, add a little bit more speed with ten. Nice, but for our case, but actually our value will be true and 25. So yeah, for me eternal, it just a little moment or Alt. Great. Now what do you remember this one? Let's move forward to the next step would have been a little detail. We will use the same ellipse shape only this time. Turn fill off. So click on the field and the left 19. Okay? This stroke will be fought. One clique, something like this. Remember, you can go always the position, change the position somewhere. Like this as a scale, let's make this one for one node so much. 104. Yeah, I think it's a good understanding right now. You're probably right now it doesn't look very good, but let's add a few effect. Let's say actually the same f or alpha an edge. Let's name this one. Detail. Good. Doc or now you can see the difference. So without honestly, we can change the settings, but the default settings, I like them. Let's stay at this one, how it is. And let's add the next turbulent displays here. And you can play around 21141 complexity yet 1.7. The same thing. All burn Evolution Options. Click out, left, randomSeed time, multiply this time on five. You can see one strong. You can see that this thing started to change here, shape l. So, but you probably notice that, you know, it looked very bad because our main I have a movement around this one. No. We can go to the position L, So wiggle. But we should, should be sure that this one follow that all of them follow the main path. So very simple thing. You just go here, parental link, parent with Maine. I am right now out our eye detail. We'll follow the same path like Maine, I like to change a little bit. They scale, I think the position L, So here this scale is OK, do the position somewhere in the middle. No, it was good. Let's watch one more time once we create so that she was meant I I detailed turn off. Don't copy, just look. So that was our initial shape. And just in a few clicks recruited from this. Something like this. Which in my opinion is way more better. Let's move forward. Like Yeah. Okay. We'll create eye pupil. Again, ellipse tool. The ellipse shape feel torn on. The color will be red, something like this, I think. Yes. The stroke thickness will be ten. Great. We'll create here in the middle. Well, it's a good one. Let's name this eye pupil. Pupil. Let's change the color here just to be more easy for us. Let's say Aqua. Yeah, I mean, it's, I gave you one choose another color. I choose this one. If you click View, head, this one shaped. What do you the name selection tool. Great. Same thing. Let's move more in the middle, in the center. The first effect will be turbulent displace this time without Ralph and edges. Click here. You see the difference, but let's play around. A mount will be 90 and size will be 15. We don't need a big change to something, something like it is. Okay, absolutely. Here, complexity will be iframe, our evolution. So go with that for a second. Quick evolution on. You can tap on your keyboard and it will show every keyframe that you have on. Instead of go here After Effects, search for your keyframe with a lot of space. Just this one and click OK. Great. Go at the final, somewhere close to the final. And here let us say three. Look what we have right now. Even though the quality little bit better, you can see that shapes start to move in all. Timo fly around. Choose the last keyframe. Right-click Keyframe Assistant, Easy, Ease. A great, let me impacts you. Fool. Again. Parental link to them in main I, we actually will apparent everything to them in I. And now you follow the same path like the our main I grade. I would like to add a little bit of shadow inside. So let me put this one a little bit here, a little bit more higher. If you want, you can first of all, look to understand what they do. Actually nothing hard. Just choose chi is comfortable for you or you can repeat after me. You choose people. Right-click. And here we have Layer Style. Great. This is some of the ethics that you can apply on your shape in our case will be bevel and emboss. You can see this thing appear here. Right now you don't see any difference. You understand why highlighter color choose black. And our size will be 43. And now you can see that the shadow appear here. But honestly, I don't like this. 1. First of all, highlight opacity somewhere on five. And shadow parasitical be something like 45. Highlight Mode, choose dissolve. Here. Elsa. I like this grainy shadow way more than that one that we had before. You can play around, but in our case we will choose this one. The rest, honestly everything is good except one thing. Actually highlight color. Let's look white, hot. No. Black like saccade. And three. Yes. So highlight the base steel. This one shadow pasty is this one. It will like to add a little bit of movement. I would like to have this shadow. Make a few circles. So we have angle just go in the first, in the first second, somewhere in the start, and go on and go to the final. And let's say somewhere like two circles will better. Right-click Keyframe Assistant, Easy, easy. Let's see what we have right now with our shadow. So you see our shadows start to move around. If you want to have another direction, just have everything here on minus instead of plus or minus the rate. Nothing hard. Let us see what we have for now. Remember we had to add a little bit of texture. Another thing, this isn't close to our final result. But even with this personal allied, what we have for now, and I hope you enjoyed the process. Don't forget, of course, to save your file, Let's add a little bit of shape. Actually the last one for this lesson, that will be then other pupil we have inside of our main pupil. Let's actually call this one main. Sorry if I don't know the terminology but shape, feel we'll do black, fill color and stroke corners that we don't need stroke so we can put it just on 0 and we want to place this one here. V to choose selection tool. Move this in the middle, have one, look like this size probably I'll make it a little bit bigger, something like like this. Even more like this. Great. This anchor point. If you want to move your anchor point in the middle, you have a degree. In the middle. Reaches selection tool. What do we have? We have only one effect, turbulent displace again. With the same setting. Close 15 if two complexity to evolution. We have from 0, the final three. If you wanted to see your keyframes tab. Right-click where you are. Right-click Keyframe Assistant, Easy, easy. And don't forget to follow the same main. I probably I think I pupil. I didn't understand why our position is here. Now his grid and let's parent or let's give a name. I, pupil, middle grade, the same color, aqua. And now we understand that this is pupil parents, this one too, I main pupil, which means on this one. And let's have a one look because we finish with this lesson. We'll move to the next one. Honestly, I don't like this yellow, but I think the final one will texturize, will make him a little bit more warm. For now. You can also turn on every of motion blur. And let's have one check. That is nothing card. I hope you'll learn something new. And this is the first lesson. Let's move on to the next one to edit with a bit more detail. A little bit of movement. 3. Lesson 2 Add movement: So before we started this lesson, just remember the motion design isn't about strict rules. And in this case, you just have fun and play around. Let's start in this lesson, we'll do a little bit. We'll finish up this loop without texturing, which we'll do in the next one. So what I will actually add either white, bleak here. In this case, we'll choose the Pen tool. Fill color will be white. And we actually can have stroke forearm fought. The grid. How I said this started, you don't need to copy me completely, but our shape, we'll be first of all more somewhere at the second, second, our shape will be here, 1 here, 1 here. Like this. I think this will give frame this one. Turbulent Displace, of course. First of all, let's give my name. Quiet, bleak. Great. Aqua. Here will be 15 or actually, let's say 25, think 42. Yeah, and this one is enough. Let's change a little bit the shape for this one, or gray or white bleak contents, you have shape. And here we have two things. In our case, we'll choose Stroke and we usually have squares and it went breaths I square, you just, you know, transform the scale, but you want to transform the shape. And this is why you should shoot click on Stroke and you have here the points, and now you can change the shape. So personally, I like something like this, play around the shave that personally you were like, I think this is personally like I just wanted to change this one. Let's pair in this one to our main eye pupil. Great. Now let's create the movement. Remember because weight bleak and this one is parented the ARIMA and pupil. When will you will move this one? Every free inquiry will move with amen pupil. Because of this, Let's animate in a pupil is position for this one torr on 3D layer because we will need this one here yet click on here. Our position. We need to have beautiful rundown. Stay with or within the middle and move up somewhere here close to the second, second position. Wanted came frame, somewhere here, second key frame. And after it go, this starts somewhere here. Go down. After it goes here. Okay. Incorrect. Let's see what we have. Middle. And up. Your question broadly, how we can hide this one here? And just to make our pupil at Butte only in their rear, we need one ethics, which name is self-made? Apply it first of all, your eye and see what we have. Let me just go here. Don't forget to choose main. And now it's at bureau only when you have weren't wearing. This one is inside the shape control C, control V, or Control V here. And now everything will appear. Say it off our main grid. Now we have something, but of course we shoot your edit a little bit more in details. Because our movement is kind of boring for me away I didn't play. I will actually change the speed for this one. Choose all of the keyframes from position of IMA and pupil Keyframe Assistant, Easy, Ease or F9. And go to the Graph Editor. And here, be sure that you have checked on Edit Speed Graph. Great. Let's move this one like this. This one though is a little bit more faster. Well, I like this wire control suture Save. Next thing that I lecture do is to make our white bleak to appear here in the middle. So click here. T for opacity will have one key frames here. I think one key frame here, curatorial on 0, here, l. So we have 0 first and let's move this one a little bit more form work, right. Click Keyframe Assistant. Easy, Ease Out. Know a little bit more forward. Great. You know what I think we can try? So go to the turbulent displays, the evolution options and the same formula, liquids dime, time, multiply our five. I think. No too much. No, I don't like I thought that will be a good idea. Let's try with three. No. Unfortunately, no. We hear when we hit one more look, one other thing that I lecture at AI is actually a sphere. But when we should understand that this is like a 3D work, even if this 2D, for this one, a torque on every 3D layer from here. Greek Air for rotation. And now you see you have way more rotations. So without you having just one simple around, but when you have this, you can make changes like this one. Back to 0. Let's see. Here will be rotation x, one keyframe. Here, another one. Move forward for around, I think 70, seven. No, let's move somewhere here. Now she's a difference. He lake make a rotation like a sphere, not unlike 2D. I hope you understand what I tried to me. Personally, I like this one and let's see what we can do here. So we go on lightness. Think like this. Let's check. Let's work on them with this loop. This one, I think I think the other brother is, go to that bed position. And here is too high. Let's move this one a little bit more, more down close to our main. And let's check what we have right now. Double-click for rotation. Let's see. I steal the line, this one. And this is actually the idea of motion disarmed way around. I think I have found what personal for me. It's good. I will move this one. Stood up 66 on 78. Right-click keyframe assistant, easy ease in here, Right-click Assistant, Easy Ease out. These two can be Keyframe Assistant, Easy Ease. Let's see what we hit. Okay, good. I like this. Next step. Lecture Ed. You don't need, actually, in some cases you'll see that you don't need to make a rotation to keyframe rotation for this because because everything is parented to our main pupil, they handed the main settings. So it's an honor to make changes here and everything will change at both l. So the next step, what we will do, I'll actually play with scale. Somewhere here. As for scale, keyframe on, frame on here, I'll make a change somewhere a third tube else. So before he'll appear in our eye area L. So third year, Let's check what we have. Along. Came nice keyframe assistant. Is it easy? No. I think we're going to move this one way more forward. Here. Keyframe assistant, easy. Is it goods? They wanted. One thing that I like personally is to make this one way more bigger, something like 120. And here let's say 110. Let's see what we have for now is a good and don't forget your emotion blur and everything. And I think we've finished with this lesson. Let's have one more look. Turn off. Disappear. Nice. And yes, actually finished with this one. The next lesson will be brought up my favorite parts and probably URL. So when we will add a little bit of texture, a little bit of things to make this one way more beautiful. But for this lesson we finish congratulation. 4. Final lesson Texture: Another thing that this will be a less parked where it will do the most favorite things for all of us is textual. Let's start First. I precompose. Let's call this simple. Yes. In the folder in the zip file under this course, you can find noise texture, which will add right now. Gpu. Actually, if you've done it once you download the Jews for the future, you just can't go there. Google, search for noise. Something like this. You will have, for example, film Schiff. They are more or better yet. You will have something like this. You can search if you want. My recommendation is to download the zip. You'll read this 1. First of all, the right-click. Interpret footage main. And here, look, let's say 100. It will make the GIF way more longer. Because actually the GFP is, I didn't know is there a 1 second much way now, it's something big. Grid. Whether I like to do next is this is how it look, but it's too small. It will make Control Alt F, it will stretch, but honestly we'll lose the quality. So my recommendation is let's say 200 know, let's say 300. Let's say 350. Okay, great. This one is OK. And just double this one. We sequentiality for this one under, after precompose this tube, called them like noise. Good. Here. Let's change them because they are similar right now we don't need this 1. First of all, move for example, this one more forward. Now let's change their addition. Hung with age here. We have a good noise texture for this one under the eye. First of all, look right here. After you will cook and I think heart I is above noise in the middle, the ground is under. We have this Tareq mate. Honestly, instead of explain, let me just show you how this thing with colors, luma inverted mate. Now he extract things like in our case, white colors and just add them in the background. I hope you understand why they explain, but let's see what other settings are. Alpha mate in our case, nothing. Nothing. Luma. Luma, in this case, transform whites in that color of horror background. If you're like this one or problem but burst and my recommendation luma inverted meant that what we have for now, okay, now it's more better. Let's bring compost, everything here. Let's save, Render. Look good. Go to the Effects and Presets and search here for noise. Simple classic noise at play here, let's say 25. And now you see these green. Let's go full. You see this green? Yet personal? I liked it. What if will make 45 too much? 28 grade? Then the next thing? Next thing I think we can try? No, personally I didn't want, Let's look at eight-year know without glow will be good. Another effect which play with time is Posterize Time, which is the same name. Click here and let me explain quickly. So you probably know that most of the movie, for example, from Hollywood, they have frame rate like 24 per seconds. But when you talk about cartoons or animate, for example, they are dwelt. Look how we have, again, look what we have with our initial rate. This is the speed. And now he'll could some of these frames. I don't know if you see the difference for now, but when he will work with this one, you definitely will see that the speed is actually, he's completely different. And personally, I would like to have Posterize Time on our little way more. The next thing, one ethics, which is very useful, for example, if you want to turn every color instead of gall to every file and change the colors you have. Think that which name is Carla Rama? Let me again show you how that work after you play around. You actually can see for now this thing have lot output cycle, have a lot of presets start with this one, use breast palette and for example, a fire in small quantities, my favorite. You have more things here, for example, a recycle repetitions. And you can just store this one with different value and you have different result and one more on modify. You have here modify and look, you can't make red Now you can make green, you can make blue bag to use Bruce's pilot. You have here a bunch of them actually turn on one and oh, yeah, great. And now you can play around solarized, read solarized gray, fire, all chloride. This one is acute honestly, to know one-on-one. No one. I'll lecture maker and they're probably with this green, red, blue, or probably know, dB. This is why I like this. This is a great honestly is cute. I showed this effort only to make you know, or probably if you don't know about this one, I think it will be very useful. Now let's turn off and let me show you one more thing that you can add is just in case if you have sub three plugin because you actually, Adobe After Effects don't have on default is one, so you shoot your download. But if you have search for a distortion chroma, first of all, let me show you what this one make the ethics of let's say chroma or let's say amount will be 02. This one will be for, for, for now you can see this blue that mentor on, off, on, off on. It's also one more detail that can make your work more catch 22, not in our case for G54, for slated for local. So cool, what you five. You can make a keyframe from here, make it bigger. For example, Laura, less four to four. And here let's say, I didn't own the 1990s. Let's see what we have. Because we have a little bit loose of quality. We can see the big difference, but actually we have yes. I think I show everything that I wanted to show personally. I don't want you to do start home. I have for now or you know what? If will turn off. And we'll have 44. And with color Rama. See what we have. Not in this case. Let's think what I like to do is go to Brian there an unelected to make our eyes to play with the scale. Third, Let's see here our scale will be on. One more here. Actually. Make here one. Here, one more. We go to the middle one and we will make something like 1 third is way more bigger here, l. So 1 third to weigh more bigger, Keyframe Assistant, Easy, Easy. Frame assistant, easy, easy. I would actually move this one more close. This one l. So let's see what we have. I don't like it. Let's play around. What's our lecture before is, let's make one keyframe here and we will make 91 is way more better. This is one of the golden rule of motion design. Knowledge better, I'll move this water more close. Way more close. These two more close to each other. Actually what I like to say L. So what we can do is to apply vehicle formula on a scale l. So now when you work with, first of all, you want to be sure that you layer on that you've finished with your key frames and only after you can make wiggle and let's say went to, let's see what we have. Now we can see that he transformed the shape beak from big chillers. Actually much my personal life, I like this idea. Let's say nine. Yeah, This is good. The noise number char I loop. Let's see what we have. Or excuse me, One more thing is be sure that your motion blur at blame now here l some motion lord, turn off because it will make more heavy. See what health. One thing that you probably notice when I use color Rama, this one noise that we create disappear. Sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. I think my personal with the yellow look L. So good. We finish. Yes, this is the final of this course. I think it will be for around 40 minutes. And I tried to give everything probably not very short, but some of the beginners will be this one. And I went to make everything clear and to make you understand every off by step, I hope you'll learn something for this course and share your result because I think this will be awesome. Thank you so much that you joined my course and have a nice day. 5. Render settings: This lesson will be for the people who don't know how to render or broadly did this very seldom go through the file. First of all, first of all, be sure that you turn on your motion blower control C. And after I go to that file, export add to Media Encoder will wait. This one will loading search where your file is placed. So in my case, can share, securely share, I think after you be sure that you select, in our case, the final composition is I loop.
