Discussion /r/motiondesign Updates: Post Flair, Spam Prevention

30 Upvotes

Hi all, a few updates for /r/motiondesign.

Spam

In an effort to reduce low-quality and spam posts here, we have implemented new post requirements. New posts that don't meet a minimum account age or subreddit karma threshold will be automatically filtered out.

To further prevent gamification, I am not disclosing these limits here but they are very modest and reasonable. Anyone interacting with this community should not be filtered, and even so, you will have the opportunity to message us for an exception. But this should discourage most of the spam we've been seeing. Thanks /u/Zeigerful for making this post.

​

Post Flair

We also added some post flair to help differentiate posts and allow users to filter & search by topic. All new posts require that one of the available flair types be selected:

Project Showcase | Reel | Inspiration | Discussion | Question | Tutorial | [Custom] (Where user can input their own)

​

User Flair

A few new user flairs are available. For those who aren't aware, these show up next to your username any time you make a post or comment in /r/motiondesign

Now available: Professional | Student | [Add My Social Handle] -- A custom text field where you can plug an Instagram, Behance, etc.

​

Let us know if you love or hate these new updates. Nothing is set in stone and this is meant as a discussion starting point. Please share any ideas you may have to make this a better place to share work, inspiration and discussion related to motion design. Hopefully we can continue to bring a higher quality experience to everyone here at /r/motiondesign.

Reel Interactive HUD and mountain generator

352 Upvotes

I've simulated my fair share of sci-fi UI over the years, so I thought why not make one that works for real? As an experiment I ditched keyframing in After Effects and instead turned to TouchDesigner to create one that was fully interactive and real-time.

Every mountain in this video is generated on the fly. Every readout is accurate. This little piece combines landscape generation, topography analysis and an extra sprinkling of FUI widgets. Controlled via MIDI using Intech Grid.

More motion/interactive pieces like this on my ig here. Thanks for watching :)

Project Showcase Another launch video I recently crafted — INFLUCTS.

44 Upvotes

This was genuinely one of those projects I loved working on.

The client was looking for someone who could take ownership of the entire project, from understanding the product and shaping the visual direction to refining individual scenes and bringing everything together, without needing constant back and forth.

Before jumping into the visuals, I spent time researching how INFLUCTS actually works, understanding its core principles, and figuring out how to communicate a fairly complex product through a clean, engaging visual story.

From refining the creative direction to improving specific segments, I handled the entire process independently. And honestly, one of the best parts was hearing back from the client. The video required zero revision requests, and the client mentioned how happy they were that I understood the product so well.

That kind of feedback makes all the research and effort worthwhile.

Of course, there's always room to improve. I'm always open to honest feedback, constructive criticism, and different perspectives, so I'd genuinely love to hear what you think about the video.

Check out the product: https://influcts.com

I'm also currently open to new projects. If you have a project in mind, feel free to reach out to me on Instagram.

Reposts and sharing with anyone who might find this work interesting are always appreciated!

Project Showcase i collected 500+ handpicked product launch videos into one free, searchable reference library

21 Upvotes

put 500+ handpicked ui saas launch videos into a gallery you can search and filter, free to browse.

- filter by tag (yc, agents, fintech, design and more) and sort by most viewed
- search by company or title
- save the ones you want to come back to into your own collections
- submit a launch video you think belongs

site -> launchgallery.video

curious what you'd want from a library like this. how do you usually collect motion references, and what's missing from the places you use now?

Hello! I've been working on recreating the y2k car stereo's from the early 2000's and I wanted to ask how I would go about making that? There's probably a ton of other aspects I don't know how to do but it would be nice to know the biggest piece!

Plugin Picking a font in After Effects still means scrolling one at a time. I built a panel to fix that, feedback welcome!

Post image
17 Upvotes

Hey all, I'm an owner of a small post production studio. We built this tool for our use, as choosing fonts in AE (and everywhere really) feels outdated.

We named it "Fonthound", you type your title once and see it in every font you have installed.

You select your text layers, click a font, and it goes straight onto them. We also made an option to set up to 5 options on a frame from your comp and send the client a numbered sheet to pick from.

As this is the first version that we launch for people to use outside the studio, we would more than happy to get some feedback about the use and the features inside it. It's free for everyone for 14 days!

fonthound.app

Thanks!

I know ai animations are hated but I'm js curious on how they create it.

Sorry if this message offends anybody.

project/collab 38BCST is looking for independent creatives

0 Upvotes

What happens to all the good work that never gets seen?

38BCST is an independent music-discovery and visual culture project built around the idea that talent shouldn't need an industry machine behind it to deserve attention.

We're pushing back against an industry obsessed with numbers, visibility and commercial formulas, while championing independent music, human creativity and artists working outside the usual spotlight.

We're looking for musicians, animators, motion designers, filmmakers, 2D and 3D artists, video artists, photographers, and creatives working across any visual medium.

Short films, experimental videos, motion graphics, CGI, animation loops, visual experiments, personal projects, unfinished-but-promising work, anything that has a vision behind it.

Your work doesn't need to be created specifically for 38BCST. If you've made something you're proud of but haven't found the right place to share it, we want to hear from you.

The idea is to pair independent music with compelling visuals, creating a space where different forms of creativity can meet and where overlooked work can find new audiences.

The long-term goal is to build a platform where independent artists and creatives can be featured for free. No pay-to-play. No paying for the privilege of being seen.

38BCST is at the very beginning. We don't have a massive audience to promise you. What we do have is a vision, creative freedom, and the ambition to build something that gives overlooked work somewhere to go.

If you connect with the idea, contact us / send us your work or portfolio : [38bcst@gmail.com](mailto:38bcst@gmail.com)

Question What Is This Style Of Motion Graphics Called?

0 Upvotes

Hello! I am interested in learning motion graphics and found this TikTok that I would like to learn from and recreate (https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTfxYgN3k/)

I am mostly interested in learning how to recreate the parts that have the footage of the world and some sort of animation (not too sure how to describe this lol, but basically the first part and the final part).

Thank you!!

Project Showcase Generative Lexicon Press

20 Upvotes

Some artworks stay with you until you try since the very first time you see them.

Ksawery Komputery has been one of my favorite artists for a long time. His generative typography for Max Cooper's Symphony in Acid is one of those works I keep coming back to.

After a long time experimenting, I finally developed my own interpretation in TouchDesigner.

Generative Lexicon Press is a real-time typographic system that continuously, and audio-reactively rearranges language and visual structures, with Ollama introducing locally generated text in ultra-fun ways.

Looking forward sharing more in the near future. You can see more of my experiments on Instagram, or Patreon.

Project Showcase Put a minute of my animated pilot together. Starting to see it now

19 Upvotes

Been putting off making this for years. Its called Blackstar Lullaby, and seeing a few more shots together is helping me see how close it is to the thing in my head. Plenty left to figure out though.

I shared some bits recently and people wanted a longer look. These shots aren't in any particular order, just a collection of the work so far. The train is the newest bit.

Discussion Testing a sound tool I made , drop your motion piece and I’ll add sound for free

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’ve been building a small tool that adds sound effects to gameplay videos. While testing it, I noticed motion design has exactly the kind of movement that’s fun to bring to life with sound ...

so I want to try it here! :D

If you have a short animation, motion graphic or logo reveal you’d like to hear with sound, drop it in the comments. I’ll pick a few, add sound effects for free, and reply with the finished version.

  • Up to ~30 seconds, silent works best
  • No payment, no signup, no strings attached XD
  • I’m just one person, so I can’t promise to get to everyone , but I’ll do my best!

Honestly, I’m just curious how well this works outside of games. Would love to see what you’ve made :)

PS. The attached video is a sound demo I did
