A Necessity For Creative Freedom
Motion design is all about creating visuals that tell stories through motion. As motion designers, our work is incessant: we are constantly creating unique visuals, ensuring fluid and captivating movements, and hand-crafting the perfect story. It goes without saying that having the proper tools to do the job is an absolute necessity for successful and creative motion design projects. Whether you are a beginner or a master in the field, these tools can help you bring your visions to life.
Top-of-the-line Technology
At the top of the list of must-have tools for motion designers is a robust graphic design and animation software like Adobe After Effects. After Effects is a well-known industry workhorse, offering everything from cutting edge special effects to particle simulations and 3D motion. Strong motion graphics capabilities and complete animation tools make it the go-to application for motion designers.
Other Possible Tools
Besides After Effects, other tools like Maxwell Render and FumeFx can help create photorealistic lighting and realistic smoke, fire and explosions. For further animation and design, Toon Boom Harmony can be helpful for hand-drawn visuals. If you are working more with film, Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve can help manage larger projects and incorporate some of the more technical aspects a motion designer needs.
At the end of the day, motion design is a very personal and creative process, so it is up to each motion designer to decide which tools are right for them and their own individual workflow. With the right tools and some hard work, motion designers can create beautiful and captivating works of art.
