5 Tips I Wish I Knew Before I Started Motion Design

I love the part about understanding graphic design principles. I would go further to say, if you can make a frame look pretty, the viewer can be a lot more forgiving when it comes to the motion. Animators animate for other animators- most people don't care about the tiny little chroma abberation you put on that tiny grunge pixel in the corner lol. Get good at graphic design or illustration, and you'll stand out from the other motion designers who are "technically" good. Just my opinion though...

Awesome tips. I love the idea of having 'keywords' to focus the style of the design. I also learned "backwards" going from needing video elements as an editor to embracing motion design to finally actually studying design.

Very good advices, straight to the point and a impeccable taste in design. You've earned yourself another subscriber, keep up the good work !

Hey George, you're quickly becoming a huge design influence/mentor for me. Just putting it out there, would you ever consider releasing an advanced design course, or advanced motion design course? If not, it would be amazing if you could even walk through one project from the beginning and hit the highlights of your process. Maybe post it as a series? It would be really helpful to see your process, and how you make the macro and micro decisions and how it all comes together in the end.

Thank you so much for these tips! I'd love more in-depth videos on animation concepts like how to achieve a certain style and hierarchy, maybe through critiquing a piece of work and analyzing these concepts in it,.. like why we were able to focus on this element instead of that, why this certain movement gave us this feeling, etc... Or even walk us through some of your work an explain the thought process behind your animation decisions. I don't find lots of content about that online, one that goes into the conceptual skills behind animation and its relation to design, and how to establish both hierarchy and a "mood" with animation, rather than just the tools and how to achieve a certain technique.

Didnt know I need this information so bad - great video thanks! also nice its compact and well explained. :) especially the thing that you need to see it from the viewers eyes. also love your esports motion design^^ great work!
