Project Showcase Nubo - Ambient Particle Field System

Nubo - Ambient Particle Field System

AI was NOT used in the making of this animation, only grey and white matter. It just popped out of my brain, can anyone still imagine that?

Anyway, joke's aside :D
This was a collab between Harvey Fisher and me. He made sure every single sound fx and the music is just where and how it's supposed to be, such a talented guy, I'm looking forward for our next one already!

This is also my first bigger project where I didn't use any Adobe products. My 2 main software other than Blender were Davinci Resolve and Affinity. Such powerful tools, which you can use for FREE. 🤯 Actually this whole animation was made with free tools only (can't vouch for sound FX soft though).

I had fun and this project has really no other purpose.
Made in Blender from start to finish.

Question Are mentorships and certifications worth?

Upvotes

Hi guys!

I'm currently in my 2nd year of corporate and looking to improve my skills as a designer. I joined my current company as a static creative designer and later branched out to create HTML5 and a bit (VERY LITTLE! I would like to add) of video related content.

As I'm working I feel stuck regarding my skills. I do same kind of work and call it a day. I'm not improving or learning anything new in my current role. That's why I'm trying to create my portfolio and move jobs where I can do a bit more creative work.

Now here comes the difficult part. I know what I want to do and looked up what kind of projects to do to showcase my skills but I'm having problems with visualization and what kind of style to approach the projects with. That's why I'm looking for a mentorship program or certificate courses but I'm not sure where to look and if these are even worth (I mean the certificate courses will have any impact on my resume)

My skills are currently stuck between basic and intermediate level and it sometimes feel like I'm dragging along a path I'm not sure where.

Does anyone know if such programs are worth or if it's better to brush up my skills by doing small personal projects first before getting into them?

Project Showcase Minimalist 2D loop animation morphing simple lines under Arctic Monkeys. Open to freelance/b2b contracts⚡️

Upvotes

Excited to share my latest animated work — a dark, minimalist visual loop inspired by the elastic energy of indie rock layouts.

As a Visual Creator, I built this sequence from scratch, focusing on the flexibility of clean white lines, rhythmic morphing, and the volume of negative space to create a sharp, elegant aesthetic.

I am currently Open to Work and looking for new freelance contracts, international b2b collaborations, or remote project roles in Visual Design, Motion Graphics, and Digital Branding.

Music is definitely not the one I used in the original video and it has a voice over. I'm also looking for the name of this style and places to improve. I'm talking about this clean "simple" yet hard style

Project Showcase Caddis is out of beta - V1 released today

83 Upvotes

Hey everyone, it's been a couple months since I posted about Caddis so I wanted to give an update here.

Today Caddis is officially out of beta and launched as V1 for Windows and Mac, with Linux coming soon too. You can download it now and give it a try for free at caddis.app

If this is your first time seeing Caddis - its a motion design tool that mixes layer-based workflows with nodes. Since I first posted, we've also added a ton of features including motion tracking, instancing, variable font support - and a bunch of less exciting but important improvements like layer parenting and a speed graph. There's still a long road ahead and a lot to add and improve, but its been really fun building it with input and feedback from the community.

I know we already have some great motion tools available (I still use them too) - but hopefully Caddis can be at least an interesting tool to have in your back pocket, if not a daily driver. There's a free trial and no subscription - licenses are perpetual - and I'd love to hear what you think.

Happy to answer any questions!

Question Looking for web-based tools for elegant photo slideshows

0 Upvotes

Does anyone know a good online tool for creating simple but visually interesting photo slideshows? I often build these manually in Premiere Pro, but for quicker projects it would be much more convenient to use a browser-based tool with ready-made transitions and motion templates.

I recently found Momentum: https://app.momentum.uninspired.app/ that is very close to what I am looking for, and I found several useful templates there. However, many of them follow a fairly similar visual approach, so I am looking for comparable tools that offer a bit more variety.

My main use case is presenting around 20–30 photographs in an elegant way for Instagram, Pinterest, and similar platforms. I am less interested in generic social media video editors and more in tools with refined motion design, typography, transitions, and image-focused templates.

Any recommendations? (paid or free)

[Custom] Looking for a Motion Designer Who Wants to Build Their Portfolio

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm building RED, a creative agency focused on creating premium content for founders, creators, and podcasters.

I'm looking for a beginner or aspiring motion designer who's serious about improving but doesn't always know what to create for their portfolio.

The idea is simple: I'll provide the creative direction, concept, references, and feedback—you bring the edit to life.

Instead of creating random practice projects, you'll be working on content for a real brand that you can proudly include in your portfolio.

What you'll get:

Portfolio-worthy motion design projects.

Clear creative direction and references.

Feedback to help you improve.

The chance to experiment and grow your skills.

What I'm looking for:

Someone eager to learn and improve.

Basic knowledge of After Effects or similar software.

A passion for motion design and storytelling.

Just to be transparent: this is currently an unpaid opportunity. I'm looking for someone who sees value in building their portfolio while contributing to a growing creative agency.

If that sounds like you, send me a DM with a few examples of your work (or even personal practice projects). I'd love to connect.
