Hi everyone!
I wanted to make an intro for my future videos. My first idea was to make line art animation, something like this. However, I went to freepick.com to find some free graphics for my background. I have found some futuristic graphics that I liked so that changed my initial idea and I had to change the entire approach to the animation and effects. You can see in the montage that I designed the central logotype right there on the spot. As always I had many trials and errors, I was working after my working hours and my mind was scrambled, so experienced animators and After Effects users can notice that I have some rookie mistakes and fails during the whole process. For the sound design, I took a bunch of free samples from Sample Swap and mixed them directly in AE. I didn’t record that part by mistake, and I was already tired (read lazy) to do it again for the montage. You can see they magically appeared as the process went on.
Enjoy, and if you can learn something from - even better!
