The internet has become a great source for learning/enhancing your craft as an artist. Every Tuesday I will be posting a tutorial from some of the best design resources I have found. Let me know what kind of tutorials you would like to see most.
Whether you are an experienced After Effects user or just getting started, Andrew Kramer offers some of the best tutorials around. He has over a 100 tutorials posted on his site VideoCopilot.net. The tutorials I’m highlighting today are on the basics of After Effects and I highly recommend them.
It’s always interesting to see how different professionals accomplish great works of art. This above video is an great look at the behind the scenes audio engineering on the set of Inception.

Barton Damer has posted a great article on his blog about pricing for motion graphic pieces. I had the privilege of sitting it on his breakout session last week at the Echo Conference and I was inspired by his outlook on design.

I’m in love with this photo taken by Andrew Barefoot. Andrew is an amazing musician and part of the ridiculous talented duo that is Cana Video Production.
Love this concept for a bike helmet. I have never worn a bike helmet because they are bulky, sweat-inducing and just plain ugly, but this design might just convince me to strap one on.

I wanted to share the following two videos. They both have to do with water. The first video is from a
For World Water Day, BDDP Unlimited partner NGO Solidarity International, which specializes in coverage of basic needs (including water supply), created an unprecedented display, using water directly as a medium. The display was set in the heart of Paris and delivered messages about the damage caused by the non-potable water in the world.
Photographer Esther Havens and the charity: water team head back to Murinja Village, Rwanda, to find a boy whose story has crossed the world to raise money for water projects.
His name is Jean Bosco. He’s 17 years old and used to collect water every day from a muddy swamp. Now, he and the hundreds in his village drink from a charity: water well.
Just two years of clean water had transformed this village. Jean Bosco and his friends told us they don’t get sick like they used to. What an amazing story!
I love this animated gif from David Ope. Make sure you visit his page and see all of them. Not what you were thinking when I mentioned animated gifs, is it?
