Hello Hive Community, I have been learning Adobe After Effects and been publishing some awesome animation here on Hive. I have been creating awesome animation for Hive, GEMS and StemSocial communities, but today, I want to create something for myself. Below is an awesome animated GIF of my name. It was a bit tedious creating it but it was worth all the effort.
Process Of Creating This Animation
I used Adobe After Effects to create this animation. I didn't use any plugins to create this animation. Let's now just straight into the process of creating this animation.
First, I opened my Adobe After Effects and created a new composition. I set the time for 15 seconds and used a black background.
Next, I created a rectangle shape to use as my background, because I knew was going to manipulate the colors later in the animation. I used a light blue color.
Next, I added each letter of my name MENOSKI
separately, so that, I would be able to animate each letter.
Next, I started with the letter M
. I animated the position and then, use the graph, to make the animation smooth.
Next, I animated the letter E
, N
, O
, S
, K
, and I
. I animated their positions and used the graph to make it a smooth animation.
After over 6 hours, I got the animation right. I didn't want to just end like that, so animated the colors of the background, to create that change in color. I was a bit satisfied with it. What do you think? Share your opinions about this animation and you can request that I create such an animation for you.
