I wish that someone told me exactly the stuff you covered in this video when I started designing/animating.
As someone who's been in the industry for 5 years now I can't agree more with the way you covered things.
Thank you for the great content!
Thanks for the great feedback! It's always awesome hearing from other professionals who agree with what I cover in my videos
@@RobynO_O my pleasure, keep up the great content, I give you a follow to make sure I don't miss any of it! 🤗
@@gusmaiawork Thanks! :)
Please can u teach me
My Name is Adekoya Damilola from Nigeria(Africa) thanks for making this video you are God sent, I have been confused for a while until I saw this ,thanks
You are very welcome
This video is a blessing for me. Since I'm just about to dig into graphic design as a beginner.
I graduated w a BA in graphic design and was exposed to a bit of animation toward the end of my degree. I wanted to combine the two more and have been working on my own 2D animations ever since. I think motion graphics is for me and ill be watching all your content and studying up so i can one day get a job in this field. Ty for all your advice!
That's awesome, sounds like you have a great base to start off from with your BA! You're welcome, I'll be doing more motion graphics related videos too in the future
So, did you get your job?
I'm trying to grasp this craft and your channel is really useful. Sometimes I feel down but the idea of setting up a course of study by myself is great. I was trying to do a lot of animations but I never went to a course and unfortunately I can't, so I think I really need a full immersion into design basics. Thank you Robyno for your content, really appreciate it.
I'm so glad my channel is helpful for you! Good luck with setting up a course for yourself, the structure and step by step process should help a lot with learning
I am just starting to teach myself motion graphics, I liked your idea of creating a course for my self to follow. I'd love you to do a video on how someone could design their own course.
This is great. There are so many free resources out there. But it's surprising how many motion "designers" out there don't have a clue about design. There's so many disciplines to mograph, but if you had to pick one I'd say learn good design. If the design is poor it doesn't matter how well animated it is. But loads of great tips here. I'd also add showing your work to other people. Either a mentor or find a community where you'll get honest feedback. Nobody does their best work in a vacuum. You need bounce off other people and if you're new get feedback which helps push you and make the work better
Definitely agree with you about learning design! I've also come across this problem with other motion designers, which is why I talk about it and suggest design books. Its one of the most important things in actually being a good motion designer! And yes also to showing your work to other people. Always a good idea in any creative field to get others feedback.
Thank you so much for the video! I kinda got lost in all the content out there and was diving right into the deep end of it all. Thank you for the reminder to keep it simple and take it easy.
You are welcome, so glad it helped you a bit! :)
Wow!! This has been very helpful. Ive been learning motion design on and off for a while now. And it hasn't been streamlined and Ive been severely lacking in the fundamentals. The tips/steps you outlined here are very detailed and will help out a lot. Thank you very much 🙏🏽😊
awesome, I'm so glad it's helpful!
more motion graphics designers need to watch this....too many people are working in this field that don't belong there because they don't have solid art and design knowledge.
Thank you so much for sharing those info to the world. I'm trying to become a motion designer and yes I feel lost and having structure would definitely help. :D
You're welcome ! Good luck and I hope that the video did help you feel a little less lost !
@@RobynO_O yes you are always very helpful.. I like your channel 🤗
Great video + suggestions Robyn! Very well thought out advice 👍
Thanks so much Brendon!
Girl, I love you for this tutorial. All the steps that you told, I have expected for myself, especially the thing with the deadline is so important. Since I don't have any showreel, I have to set myself some animations to create my reel at least. Also I booked a course at School of Motion, hopefully I can earn money in the future with this. I love motion graphics design and also 3d :) people like u keep me more and more motivated. thank you so much. all the best
I'm so glad you found the video helpful ! It sounds like you're going down the right path to making this your career. Your determination and dedication will pay off, and School of Motion is great for learning. I'm very sure that you'll be making money off it in no time ! All the best to you too!
Thank you for emphasizing the need for design knowledge first!
Absolutely, it’s often overlooked but so important!
It's amazing how much easier it has gotten for people to get into the industry and I don't think people realize it.
Yeah exactly! Its a great option for digital creatives
Wow i even cant even describe how much you are wrong
@@yofi2614 who is wrong here?
@@thepanther8473 they are! Since when it easy to inti this industry
Thanks for the video. Clear, concise, and your vibe is exceptional.
thank you, that's nice to hear!
Just found your channel - love it so far and can’t wait to improve my own design and mograph skills
Thanks ! Hope it keeps being helpful !
@@RobynO_O my pleasure a happy to find other creators that are passionate about what they talk about.

Awesome! Thank you!

That's exactly what I'm talkin'about ..
Good job 👍
thanks!
Fantastic tutorial, keep up the great videos!
Thanks!
Some great tips for a self-taught animator like myself, thank you! It's interesting that you mentioned bloated files, as this is something I struggle with. I use a combination of photoshop with davinci resolve for animating, and I find that if I use any textures in my photoshop files the final animated file is often gigantic even without any effects, whereas without textures, even 4k files with masses of added effects end up very light. If you have any tips about this that would be great!
I've found that with textures you should make them as small/compressed as possible before you bring them into photoshop (obviously maintaining the quality that's necessary). Sometimes they're like 4k, but you dont need it that big for what you're using it for. Then when it's in photoshop, make sure you're only using the sections you need/that are visible and trim off anything unnecessary from the layer.
@@RobynO_O I will try that, thank you
A great guiding video. Thanks
That's great to hear, you're welcome!
You're sooo pretty 😍 .. and yes motion graphics stuff..

I couldn't stop staring at that poster that be like : ()
by the way I bought that animation book that you recommended the animators survival kit and it really has helped a lot =)
lol, my Totoro poster ? XD Oh thats awesome, I'm so glad it's helped you! It's a great book, I still refer to mine sometimes
me too. It is eating my attention.
😅
Thank u u helped me a lot
You're welcome, I'm glad the video helped !
Hey I would love to hear more about briefs. Examples of how it looks like, what the process is etc...
OK, Cool! I can do a video on that, the process and examples. It's a little different when working in an agency or working as a freelancer, and it does vary between companies and individuals . Like, a brief from someone who is creating a startup and needs a video for their social media, is different or, say, and agency who needs something for a commercial. But for the most part, they'll give a written brief, or have a meeting where you'll need to take notes, but a written brief is more common and preferable so there's nothing forgotten or left out and it can be referred back to. It'll cover things like if there's a corporate identity to be followed or a look and feel, and other things like references and stuff. But I think that's a great topic for a video, so I'll do one in the future about that.
@@RobynO_O Excellent Smithers
This is pretty sensible advice. I struggled with 3d character animation and never had the patience to clean up my 2d animation either, hence didn't master either one to get a starter job despite having studied it in junior college. Lately I started learning after effects and figured it was a better investment career wise since I know some coding too. But like you said you NEED a solid design knowledge which is something I don't exactly have. Plus making money as a good graphic designer is probably a little easier too given the lower barrier to entry. I have a decent grip on animation in general given my years of struggling with it BUT a good design foundation is KING for animated logos and stuff.
Absolutely! Glad you agree. Design knowledge also helps to train the eye on recognising good composition and staging, and for creating generally pleasing visuals (appeal)
Thank you so much
My pleasure
Love you 😘
Soooooo cute. Thank you.
All you said was right! I just wonder Why your Background is moving! I mean look at the monitors and keyboard! :) I just See things with details! sorry I can't help it! But keep going forward you were great! ;)
Lol thanks, I record on my phone and annoyingly it has an automatic stabilizer so every time I move too much it thinks the phone is moving and tries to stabilize the footage
What softwares are the best to begin Motion Graphics practice?
Wow, Thanks for sharing lot of good information in short video. can you recommend any good book or course on after effects.
You never got a response.
New to motion graphics and I know imma kill it !!!! Good fuckin video ‼️
yeah! Get it!
keep in touch
You are amazing
that's nice, thank you!
Make tutorial for this
Any rescources for alternitves for school of motion in undestanding the motion design fundimetqls that ie a bit more cheaper.
You could take a look at lynda.com or udemy for proper courses, otherwise video copilot has great free tutorials and there's a TH-camr named Ben Marriott who has some good tutorials too.
This would be a career change at 59 years old. Looking for the best way to approach this.
that's awesome! I'll be uploading more motion graphics videos in the future, hopefully they'll be helpful for you
Robyn. I realize you may have covered this in another tutorial but, for someone who is just beginning... what equipment would you recommend for motion graphics? Computer? wacom tablet etc?
Hi Dave, I'd recommend a machine with at least 32GB of RAM - After Effects needs 16GB to run but it' will be difficult to work with if you only have that. It should ideally have a 64 bit multi core CPU. I'd also recommend that it have an SSD. And a GPU with at least 8GB VRAM. You'll need an HD display. A tablet would be good in a lot of cases when it comes to designing elements, but it's more of a case of personal preference really and depends on what types of graphics you're creating. If it's a lot of digitally drawn elements, then it would be beneficial but I don't really use my tablet that much myself when I'm working on animating motion graphics, it's used more if I'm designing stuff in Illustrator or Photoshop and actually drawing things.
@RobynO Last question, do you recommend a particular brand or model?
@@daveg.7503 Macbook Pros are popular, HP is pretty good, Asus Zephyrus...the specs are what's important and its best to get as good as you can afford
Thank you.
Hey Robyn, Thank you for your video! I'm wondering where is the best place to find Full-time or Part-time motion graphic design jobs?? Is there a good website you use to find motion graphic jobs (full-time, part-time, etc)??
Hi Efosa, you're welcome! I have used Elance, Upwork, Fiverr and Freelanced. Fiverr and Freelanced had less competition for jobs and are easier to get jobs, but the budgets are generally lower. Elance and Upwork prove a little more challenging to get work because there is a lot of stiff competition, but you'll find higher budgets there.
If you're looking for full time work, I've had a lot of luck with LinkedIn. A lot of recruiters use it so if you build up your presence on there you may have some luck
@@RobynO_O Thank you Robyn! I will look into these. And thanks again for the videos tips :)
@@eogiesoba you're welcome!
can you make a video on how to get a job as a motion graphic designer in foreign countries
What are the recommended TH-cam channels to learn motion design?
Check out Ben Marriott and Jake in Motion !
Your accent sound South African.... great vid
I am South African ! Thanks!
For someone with basic IT knowledge, interest in designs and drawings and average IQ to learn, how long do you believe it might take for someone to become a good Motion Designer? (may be how many hours or learning - LOLL like a pilot's flying hours)
I'm not sure, there isn't really like a standard amount of time...it also depends on how good you mean.... it would also mean learning design at the same time, because that's important in being a *good* motion designer. Some people just have a knack and take to it like a duck to water. It could take some people 6 months, some people a year - to become an actual GOOD one, in my opinion, it would be several years. But you could become quite competent in 6 months, if you were practicing every single day. I really can't give you a time frame or amount of hours. It also depends on people's natural talent.
I once asked my acting coach the same question ..How long willl it take to get good...and She said...you'll never know, but when it happens you'll know it...because you'll feel it....It can take as long as the sacrifice and committment you give it......the time it takes to become a good motion designer depends on soooo many underlying factors...none of which have anything to do with your IQ...If you have the interest in motion design...you have a good start, maintain that interest and staying motivated is the challenge. getting really good at motion design could take a lifetime..I guess the real question is how long does it take to become good enough to get work. As RobynO points out it could take 6 month, it could take a year, it also depends how much time you have to devote to study...and on what area of motion design you chose to endeavor. if you're doing typography kinetics it could take 6 months..if its hi end 3D product visualizations with animated breakaways and particle simulations it could take longer..decide first which area you would like to work in. I am an ArchViz designer just now broadening my scope by getting into Product Viz...so it'll take me less time than most. yet in ArchViz its a entirley different workflow. I think overall RobynO has the best advice..decide what area you want to pursue if yo chose to become a generalist it will definetly take you ,longer to get good at all the different intricacies of each industry. Give yourself at least a year or 2 to enjoy the discovery process...and let the skill set evolve through the process before pursuing work. ... Hope this helps
Do I need to learn premiere pro for motion graphic designer?
no you don't have to , you can use After Effects
Yeap, can it make song artwork video without premiere pro? I installed premiere pro but my pc is 3 gen, 24 is not compatible gen 3.
But my graphic is HD intel 4600
Great info...and PLEASE get a proper mike.
Will use a different one in my next video. Thanks for the feedback.
Does it help to be absolutely gorgeous? Jeeze!
I dunno, I'll ask the next gorgeous mograph artist I meet!
Hi Robyn, would you happen to have a school or motion design program to attend?
Unfortunately not right now but I do plan on it sometime in the future.
@@RobynO_O Ok, would you happen to have a school you’d recommend for me to get started. Thank you for your reply, btw!
@@pariahgaming365 I think Ben Marriott has some courses , you should check out his channel, he's amazing at motion design and a great teacher. I dont have the links for his courses but I'm sure he'd mention them on his channel or website somewhere
@@RobynO_O Awesome! Thank you!
it is necessary to learn cod?
no it isn't but it can be helpful in understanding expressions
thaanks ...and youre cute
You're welcome, and thanks
You look like Mary Jane Watson 💜💜
So true but with a blonde hair
Did anybody noticed her keyboard's keys are moving !
I film on my phone and it has a weird video stabilization thing that I haven't figured out how to turn off. Whenever I do a big hand movement it seems to think the camera is moving and tries to stabilize it.
Do you expect Motion Design will die in the coming years?
I dont think we'll need to worry about that for a long time. It's getting more and more popular as a way to make digital media stand out. Obviously a lot more stuff is becoming automated and AI is getting better and better, but it still has a long way to go in terms of creativity and producing something polished and bespoke to what a client needs. You can tell the difference, for instance, between something that has been animated by an experienced animator, and something done with Mixamo, for instance. Machine learning still has a long way to go before it makes our jobs redundant.
@@RobynO_O thank you

I am just watching you because you are beautiful 💘💘
Maybe your subscribers increase, I do a little bit of advertising of your channel.
Aw, thank you so much! I really appreciate that 🙏
@@RobynO_O I am glad to do that
Headless chicken😂
first / get high end pc with lot of ram and min. 2 Rtx gpu it will depends on what you will doing what type of AD.
Remember one in AD world every sec. is important so you better make it minimalistic.
Next get real program Houdini or C4d. Not some shit like blender or 3dsmax...
Get plugins for render vray, octane...
first get practice in modeling than in motion graphic.
Dont be like her, fuck illustrator vision, for real AD you need to practice with glossy materials not only with matt and 3d is more important than ever.
