Motion Design
Are you a complete beginner interested in motion design? If you want to learn the basics of kinetic typography in After Effects, stay tuned.
In this video I sit down with my aunt and walk her through the process for creating motion design from scratch. We create a beginner animation, with music and voiceover on a theme of her choosing.
We look at:
► Examples of Motion Design
► The Key Steps to Creating a Motion Graphics Animation
► Inspiration & Research Techniques
► Animation with After Effects
► Adding an AI voiceover
We decided to create a simple type focussed animation, and use AI to create a script and then provide the voiceover. The voiceover and music is from Motion Array.

I drew on various sources for inspiration for the look:

I deliberately set myself a hard deadline so I didn’t spend too long on it. The most time consuming part was animating the kinetic type. And I definitely leaned on lazy shortcuts to get this done. Adding a photocopy texture to the opening black and white look for example. It was simply to give it a grungy, oppressive look since I couldn’t pull off the scattered, dispersed look I wanted.
