Motion Graphics & Procedural Animation
Advanced workflows leveraging After Effects' most powerful yet overlooked features. From procedural text animation to complex glow systems, 3D extrusion, and seamless Photoshop integration—all built with native effects for maximum flexibility and minimal dependencies.
The live link workflow for surrealist collage artists. Keep Photoshop and After Effects open simultaneously, work fluidly between apps, and create subtle refined animation. Layer organization, expression shortcuts, dynamic updating, and troubleshooting.
Master the hidden power tool for procedural motion design. Tapered strokes, 3D extrusion, wiggly patterns, and complex animations with minimal keyframes. Treat text as vector shape arrays with effector-based control.
Create realistic neon signage with 100% built-in effects. Automatic silhouette-to-outline conversion, layered glow architecture, procedural flickering with probability expressions, multi-color support, and physical shadow systems.
Expression-based generative art systems: fractal branching, Perlin noise flow fields, recursive feedback, Lissajous harmonics, emergent swarm behavior, reaction-diffusion patterns, audio-reactive systems, and cellular automata. Create art that evolves.
