DAY 024 – Simple Cloner Box
This is DAY 003 of my intensive Cinema 4D training, and today, I learned about Cloner Objects as well as simple camera movements. There will be a tutorial here as well as the project files for this simple project.

Today is DAY 002 of my Cinema 4D training, and today I discovered Thrausi Fracture. I know there a lot of fracture plugins out there, but the Thrausi Plugin, for me, not only was the most user-friendly, but the support for a free plugin is stellar. Soon, I’ll have a tutorial on this simple wall posted, along with the project files.
Today is DAY 022 of my intensive motion graphics training, and “DAY 022 – Cinema 4D Love Story” is the result. It uses stock images and textures, and even making something like this happen on my first day is more than I expected. Soon, I will post the project files as well as a tutorial, minus all my errors, in order to help you, newbie-hacker like myself, along your path of motion graphics wonderment.
This is the continuation of DAY 019 and DAY 020’s efforts. I still don’t have “DAY 021 – Human to Bird Dissolve Effect” where I want it, but for my 3 week anniversary of motion graphics training, I’m proud of what I’ve been able to accomplish. Tutorial to follow once I reach DAY 100 on Vimeo.
The “DAY 020 – Human Dissolve Effect” is something I’ve always wondered how to do. Although this Day 020 effort isn’t anything to write home about, I do have a much greater understanding of what goes into this effect. When I’ve got the time to do it, I will post an extensive tutorial on this effect, saving you the many grueling hours of experimenting and failure to get this to the point it’s presently at.
Today’s effort was more work with Adobe Illustrator files in After Effects. I simply took the cliche 2D image of a bird silhouette and animated the wings in After Effects. If it weren’t for the zillion or so tutorials on this, I never would have been able to make it happen, but, my research is your tutorial. “DAY 019 – After Effects Bird Animation” is the result and the tutorial will be posted here soon.
This will be a tutorial on converting 2D images to 3D images in After Effects. Today’s project is called “DAY 018 – Jacob’s Ladder 2D to 3D”. It’s an extreme example of taking a 2D image and converting it to 3D, but it helped give me a sense of what was possible.
After spending so many straight hours inhaling After Effects, I decided I needed a break. Today’s effort, called “DAY 017 – Give Peace a Chance” is the result of that effort. I’m actually quite proud of what I’ve been able to accomplish these past 17 days, but for me, it’s more a testament to the power of this software and available plugins than it is to my skill.
This is meant to be a spoof of Snake Worshippers in the name of Jesus. It’s called “DAY 016 – Scary Wiggle Show Intro” and it was inspired by a tutorial from Harry Frank that focused on using Expressions in After Effects. I’ll include the expressions here, of course.
While searching for these, I found so many dead links, and decided to add a “live” link that would always be available. I found this on a post by a user named “Beaver” in a MoGraph Forum. These expressions have already been indispensable for a newbie-hacker such as myself, and now I feel as though I see these expressions everywhere in motion graphics sequences. And this was at the end of the post: “A shoutout to the brilliant folks at […]
