What if your motion graphics could react to what's happening around them?
I recreated this proximity-based animation in After Effects, where a moving controller influences the characters around it.
The fun part was taking the basic idea further making the characters move, changing their facial expressions, making the eyes follow the controller, and even adding proximity-based lighting.
It’s a good example of how expressions can turn a simple animation into something much more interactive.
I’ve also recorded the complete tutorial and broken down how I built the effect step by step.

Inspired by the original tutorial by Olly (@oliviero_s) “Automatic Proximity Reactions in After Effects.”

Sneha, this is such a fun use of proximity controls. Love that you pushed it beyond just movement and gave the characters different reactions too. Makes the whole setup feel much more alive.
MONSTA X – "Do What I Want" | K-Pop Dance Cover Teaser & Intro Design
Role: Video Editor & Post-Production Designer
Project Type: K-Pop Cover Dance Video Intro / Visual Teaser
Software: Adobe Premiere Pro / After Effects / DaVinci Resolve
Project Overview
Crafted an explosive, high-impact video intro for setUP TEAM’s dance cover of MONSTA X – "Do What I Want". The primary goal was to set an aggressive, high-energy tone before the main choreography kicks off, locking the viewer’s attention from the very first second.
Key Technical & Creative Highlights:
Frame-Accurate Beat Syncing: Precision cutting engineered around every heavy beat and accent to amplify the track's raw energy.
Dynamic Motion Graphics & Visual FX: Custom-built glitch overlays, kinetic typography, and fluid camera movement effects designed to match MONSTA X's signature powerful style.
Stylized Color Grading: Cinematic, high-contrast color passes designed to bring out rich textures and maximize the moody, urban atmosphere.
Rhythmic Pacing & Teasing: Seamless shot sequencing that introduces team members, builds suspense, and delivers a flawless transition into the full performance.
Concept Statement
"K-pop dance covers demand more than just recording movement—they require visual storytelling that matches the intensity of the original performance. This intro was designed to feel like an official teaser: fast, bold, and visually unforgettable."
Amazing
