Abstract Shapes Animation | After Effects Tutorial

Deskripsi:

In this After Effects tutorial, I’ll show you how to animate abstract shapes. It is not as complicated as it seems. First, we set up the comps we need. We take the precomp, create a new main comp with it, and in the main comp we duplicate the precomp, flip it horizontally, duplicate it again, flip it vertically, and one more time duplicate it and flip it horizontally. It’s four times the same comp, which we now need to animate. The animation is mostly simple keyframe animations of the rotation, scale, and position of shapes, all nicely smoothed by editing the speed curves in the graph editor. Some small parts need to be done frame by frame, but it won’t take long. Finally, we add a layer style—bevel and emboss—and some gradient ramps to give it a unique look. The main task in this tutorial is to figure out how animating a shape in the precomp turns out in the main comp.
