Taste Test
🚀 Creating this animation in two styles using After Effects ⚪️
A: Smooth version 🔵
B: 8-bit version 🟩
Same concept, two different visual directions: one with a retro pixel-art feel and the other with a softer, more polished 3D look.
Which one would you pick?🙌

Same concept in two styles is a useful comparison. I would choose the direction based on the brand: pixel art for a playful tone, the softer look for a calmer product story. Did you keep the timing identical?

Playing around with SaaS motion using Claude + After Effects + Higgsfield.
Just started experimenting with smooth movements, little bounces, and some morphing techniques.
Still figuring things out, but this workflow is pretty interesting. If this keeps working, making a full explainer video might not take a whole week anymore. 😄
Interesting workflow mix. Which part benefits most from Claude: planning the animation or building the After Effects setup?
That iPhone Duo animation effect? Pretty easy to recreate in Spline.
I actually made this transition back in January. Revisited it today with progressive blur, and now it feels even more familiar.
Looks like I caught this visual trend a little early 👀
Built in Spline.
Progressive blur is the detail that sells it - a hard-edged duo transition reads as a cut, the blur reads as one continuous motion. Small change, different feeling.
