🎬 Motion Design Concept: "Keep For Your Records"

I recently created this surreal 3D animation exploring tactile textures, physics simulations, and abstract brand aesthetics. The goal was to blend sharp vector branding elements with unpredictable, satisfying object collisions.

What went into it:

Creative Direction: Designing a clean, minimalistic aesthetic paired with organic, chaotic forms.

Physics & Simulations: Tuning the soft-body dynamics and paper roll animations for realistic weight and movement.

Texturing & Lighting: Crafting high-fidelity materials, from the translucent lime green blob to the metallic gloss of the key and key ring.

🛠️ Built with: Cinema 4D, Blender, Houdini, After Effects

yooo the fuzzy red ball and that glossy yellow blob next to the crisp receipt type look so good bro 🔥 did you sim the collisions in blender

The material work here is unreal. That fuzzy red ball against the metallic key is the kind of contrast you can almost feel through the screen, and the soft-body physics give the whole piece such satisfying weight. Pairing the chaos with sharp receipt typography keeps it from...

15 seconds of smooth UI, editorial layouts, and micro-interactions.

Kept the micro-interactions snappy, typography expressive, and transitions buttery smooth.

Rate this UI animation from 1 to 10 in the comments, or tell me what you’d improve! 😉

Solid 10/10 bro! 🔥 Micro-interactions are super snappy and transitions are buttery smooth indeed. Editorial layout game is strong. Keep it up!

The brief was simple. Show a new personalized news feature.

The obvious solution was to show a few clicks in the UI as you choose your topics. Clear, but not very interesting.

So I pulled that moment out of the interface first and turned it into a cloud of topics. You get the idea before you even see the product, then the video drops you back into the real UI and shows where it lives.

I really like these tiny decisions. The feature stays the same, but it feels easier to get and a lot more fun to watch.
