After Effects Sketches from June 2023
I help strangers on the internet to make things in After Effects. Here are some quick sketches and experiments I’ve made along the way.
Two quick and general purpose tips:
1) There’s no shame in using multiple layers when you need them, and often no real benefit to breaking your back in order to minimize the amount of layers in a project.
2) You don’t have to make stuff you can’t see. Part of that is that you don’t need to rig up things that don’t move during the shot. The lines-and-nodes shot was very quick to make because no part of it responds dynamically to anything. There’s no reason why it should, unless that’s what your experiment is about.
