I have managed to complete this video tutorial as I am on my break at the moment. I did not get much sleep last night. I hope you will appreciate my efforts…

For this tutorial I have used amazing Idustrial Revolution’s Volumetrix filter from Noise Industries. A must set of filters for Apple Motion, Final Cut Pro and After Effects. The best thing is that it works simultaneously in all apps. Volumetrix 2 have fantastic set of presets that can be manipulated to produce desired effects. It is also good to mention that in Idustrial Revolution’s Volumetrix you also have ability to save presets.

This was created by using Camera behaviors, Blur filter, Idustrial Revolution’s Volumetrix 2, and Key-framing.

Please note that the text images blend mode can be set to OVERLAY in order to gain transparency so that the white blends better with the background.
This is what I did for my original animation

In this tutorial Andy shows you a very good way to create a video wall by using replicators, camera moves and behaviors….

Andy’s website have very good video tutorials for Apple Motion and FCP. He is currently working on some exciting animations in Apple Motion by using behaviors rather than key frames.

People there is a lot to learn from Andy’e blog. Please also have a look some of his other tutorials.

I have managed to put together a quick video tutorial were I tried to explain how to convert your output movies for internet use….

Well, please use this video tutorial as a guideline as to how to convert the Quicktime movies to FLV and MPEG 4 (H.264). My aim was to use free software to convert the movies from one file type to another. The software i have used for video conversion are MPEG Streamclip (Mac, Windows),  Perian (Mac), QuickTime (Mac, Windows) and VLC (Movie Player).

I would love to hear from you what software are you using to convert your movies from one codec to another.

So please leave a comment….

I had such a great response to transient 2d animation so far. All of you wanted of me to show you how to make a 3D transient animation.

Well I was not to disappoint you all, was I.
This is second part of Transient animation, although this one is in 3D. This animation is not done with replicators, method of creating this one is entirely different.

This animation really shows how powerful Apple Motion 3 can be if it is explored in detail. This time the spikes have thickness, and they look cool. This method is somewhat laborious but the final animation is well worth it, sounds like LOREAL commercial…-). I have used some interesting filters just to spice things up a bit. I hope you like it.

Soundtrack also available. Good old Soundtrack Pro works really well. Quick and easy….-)

Collections of experimental and commercial 2d abstract, decorative illustrations created by using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Ilustrator.

Most images in this collection were made by overemphasizing and over saturating primary colours while using different creative possibilities within Adobe Photoshop.

While working on this illustrations I have tried to creatively explore different types of grunge brushes. Most of the brushes used for illustrations where made from scanned images.

Illustrator as a tool has gained a lot of followers in particularly in the last three, four years. With the introduction of the live trace tool and live paint tool Illustrator has come of age. I personally love Adobe Illustrator and use it quite often in my personal explorations within the real of Illustration and animation.
