We've recently created a mograph, and it's going very well.

We need to do a lot of prep work before we do the dynamic design. There are also a lot of other things to think about, such as how to start designing scripts in your mind, having a co-operative colleague, and so on. When it comes time to start designing 2D or 3D actuators, I usually follow these steps to achieve a seamless workflow.

Organization

Organizing your documents is the easiest way to tell someone, but it's the hardest thing to follow. But it's hard for me to completely convey how much time you can save from the documents you've compiled, from the beginning of your production to the end. It's best to categorize from one folder and put your files to the start, until the end of the final work is collected by the creative. In that file, create a subfolder for each step, such as copying files, acting on them, discarding drafts, and so on. Most importantly, when you start to organize your documents, your document system begins to attach to your dynamic projects. Whether you're using AE, c4d or anything else, naming and organizing your documents will accompany you to the last second of your project, and you can quickly find any scenes and layers you need.

Write

Whether or not the script is written. Whether it's written or otherwise, the most important thing is to be aware of the key points. Powerful keyframes are combined with strong visual components to create a powerful visual dynamic. If you're writing a script, try to combine the key points with the visual components you know. If you are using keyframes, make sure you have enough time left to allow some gaps in the design of the motion.

Use a separate layer for each element

Putting everything alone on each layer may seem very difficult, or at first it looks like a big challenge, but it's worth the flexibility of making the move. If you're going to design a house, you might want to give it a stone path, This path can provide an interesting way to make your house angry, rather than a rigid cube. At the same time, fonts often occupy an important place in the dynamic design, and taking them apart to name each part does not hurt your animation.

See how each part will move

Understanding your dynamic character can help you define how your parts move. This is a very interesting part of you in your mind you will design elastic, smooth dynamic. Does this action need constant movement? Or do you need an action for other elements? You can ask yourself if you need to stop, flick, swipe, Flex, fade, extend, or something else? He can help you make your reference. This reference can be as small as when you click on the twitter icon when you like the dynamic effect. I mentioned this because of the effect? The whole idea of first bank, and this inspiration extends naturally to the entire dynamic design.

Seamless connectivity

If you try to make a seamless dynamic design, without any clips in the middle, you can try to think about how each scene is connected to the next scene. The key to doing this well is to have an orderly production action, from the first frame to the last frame. In doing so, you can make simple links between specific elements, and finally you can see that an element runs through the entire dynamic design and also gives the viewer a focus.

The opposite of the dynamic design is the cut-off scene.

If you're going to have a lot of cuts in your motion design, you need to change your mind. If you think with a film director or a writer's head, your ideas will become more open, allowing you to have more combinations and a combination. Did you move the camera? Or is there something else? Along this line of thinking, there are more aspects to filming a movie, which can now be applied to your dynamic design, and when you start making a story version, add your ideas.

Font

In the dynamic design? When adding fonts, there are some other aspects we need to consider. Viewers may look on a 70-inch TV or on a mobile phone, and your text needs to be readable everywhere. Most of the time we use specific fonts to maintain brand consistency. If in this project, you find a font form that will make you feel better, and if the design specification allows you to add some effect to the font

Make the visual more synchronized, if the design specifications are not allowed, and you are not ready to do font design, or choose smart and interesting dynamic effect to match your font design is better.

Conclusion

If you need a quick guide to remember, or if you just want to swipe to the bottom to see the answer to the article, it's here. Once again, the way everyone works is different. If you hate these suggestions, or if the way you work is completely different, you can share your thoughts.

? From the beginning to the end, take the time to organize the documents. Use, find, focus on the visual elements to enrich the key points to the design direction each element is placed on a single layer, the creation of the dynamic can provide sufficient flexibility at the time of design and attention to how each element is moving in order to seamlessly connect, Keep order from the first frame to the last frame design when you want to cut the action, pay attention to the unique element combination method. Use a font that you can see clearly, regardless of the size of the device.
