Hello StemSocial Community, it's been quite awhile I published a STEM related article, though one is around the corner (smiles). In my previous STEM related article (UNDERSTANDING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIALIZATION AND OUR MENTAL HEALTH - PART 2), I told you guys that I was developing a new skill. which is Motion Graphics. Since, I have been improving on the skill, I felt like creating an amazing animated GIF for the StemSocial Community. Its free to be reuse by every member of StemSocial Community. Without wasting any more time, take a look at the animated GIF I created for StemSocial Community 👇.
How I Created This Awesome Animation
I used Adobe After Effects to design and create this animation. I used Saber plugin to create this fire neon vibe. This was a tasking project. I had to create 3 projects to create this animation. One for the STEMSOCIAL text, second for the COMMUNITY text and the third for the HIVE text. I had to create them individually and then add them up to create this nice animation. Without wasting any more time, let's jump into the process of how I created this amazing StemSocial Community Animated GIF.
First, I opened my Adobe After Effects and created a new composition. I set the time for 12 seconds and used a black background.
Next, I added the STEMSOCIAL text. I used the Trebuchet MS fonts. I aligned it center and took it up, because I was creating space for the other texts which are the 'COMMUNITY' and 'HIVE' text.
Next, I created a solid layer and used a black background and I added the Saber plugins.
I started to manipulate the STEMSOCIAL text with the use of the Saber plugin. I used Haze as preset to create this fire neon vibe. Reduced the glow intensity to 32%, changed the Core Type to Text Layer and more tweaking. Take look at the process of the changes.
Next, I had to change the colors and create that fire neon vibe. Manipulate the Start Size, Mask Evolution, Start Offset and more to create the fire neon vibe.
Next, I had to create the Community text project. I did exactly same thing I did with the STEMSOCIAL text project. Here are few screenshots of the process.
Next, I created the Hive text project and did exactly same thing I had been doing. Here are few screenshots of the process.
Finally, I added all the three projects together and I got this 👇.
I hope you guys like this STEMSOCIAL Animated GIF. Its completely free for reuse to all STEMSOCIAL Community members. There will be more GIF to come.
I promoted Hive and StemSocial Community using this awesome animation on Youtube. Check it out 👇
