We have three awesome things to give away: Handcrafted Motion Pack, Svengoolie Rig and Outstream video guide. It's free after effects projects!

We don't not spam or give away your address to any 3rd party people.... ever! Free After Effects Projects!

Handcraft Kit

Here's a quick preview of the Handcrafted kit free after effects projects:

I had fully planned to do some more scenes and a bit of walkthrough/ tutorial on some of my process, however, some client work popped and left me with little time. Most intermediate AE users should be able to figure this out pretty fast. If you have questions, give me a shout and I’ll do my best to answer.

Time permitting, I will post up a video walk/thru at some point and update it with some more scenes and 2DFX that weren’t quite ready for this pack. Thanks for checking this out and please let me know what you think! About a 300 MB Download.

Svengoolie Rig After Effects Project

Here's what the Svengoolie Rig looks like:

Notes

This was built from scratch more or less.  I did recycle some arms and legs from a previous rig that I downloaded. Credit goes to Matt Wilson for that. Cheers! If you ever want to learn about DUIK and rigging take a look at his channel on YouTube it’s good stuff. Also the dungeon bricks and lamps I recreated from some Google searched images. So technically, not my design.

Svengoolie and his coffin are copyrighted by ME TVand Weigel Corporation. I think. If not, then, I’m sure Rich Koz’s owns the copyright by now. Anyways, I have no association w/ that or anything I’m just doing this for fun. Please don’t sue. I'm a fan, this is fan art.

Character Animator

I used Character Animator for the first time to lip sync the voice over. I turned off the preset rig, used a custom mouth set, scaled it up and just rendered it out as PNG sequence w/ an alpha. The dungeon lamp was done with some shape layers, a couple of Wave Warps, Turblent Displace, and a particular preset in the background. I posterized time a bit on the precomp. It was too wobbly otherwise.

Our guide to outstream video is ready to drop within the next week or two. I'm still putting together some graphics for the guide and making some editorial tweaks to make it a quick, fast, and useful read. Chock full of actionable tips if you are already using outstream, and some eye-opening stats if you are brand new to it.
