mo_mograph1 0 Report post Posted September 27 Hello all, I'm new to this forum and somewhat new to motion graphics. I have mainly been a print/web designer the last several years and I've been currently learning Premiere and After Effects. I wondered if anyone could share resources on the fundamental principles of motion design in the form of books, sites, tutorials, cheap/free online courses etc. I can't afford to return to school full-time so I'm hoping to train myself on this topic. Also, I know Lynda.com is decent for software knowledge but I'm curious if there are other resources out there of good quality for After Effects and Cinema 4D? Thank you for reading.

daveglanz 0 Report post Posted October 14 @mo_mograph1 there are plenty of places to learn. Go to a bookstore to start (assuming there's one still open!). Check out anything you can find on the principles and fundamentals. Take some screen grab videos of animation that you like, and break it down and study the speed, timing and design. Some youtube channels: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR4oFFjKQKHj_fCOkBLH61w https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgFGxWhhczNhEMeygMuwNqQ EJ's stuff - a bit intermediate but still some of the best of course: http://eyedesyn.com Check out Carey Smith's (free and/or paid) lessons: http://www.division05.com Probably worth checking out the archives of Andrew Kramer for VFX and motion graphics: http://videocopilot.net Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
