Jeff McIntosh — Mon, 17 May 2010 19:15:22 +0000

A few years back I did some freelance design work for Animusic. I helped design a countdown timer graphic for their five-minute animations. From what I can see they are giving away two free five-minute countdown timers as direct downloads here: http://www.animusic.com/downloads/countdowns.php

After Effects Lexus Tutorial by Barbecue

Jeff McIntosh — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 03:24:49 +0000

Barbecue Design created an amazing commercial for Lexus Toyota Hybrid Drive using After Effects and Trapcode plug-ins. Ruediger was nice enough to put together a three part tutorial on how he did a lot of the effects in the commercial. What is even more exciting is that he is allowing me to provide downloads for these videos.

Here are the links:

Jeff McIntosh — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 17:30:40 +0000

In 2007 the guys at Motionworks had a AE explosion challenge:

“In 2007 Motionwork ran a challenge to see who could create the best explosion using Adobe After Effects and Trapcode Particular. All 11 finalist projects have been compiled for you to use in your own projects.”

I rendered one of the explosions for you to download:

Animated Christmas Background

Jeff McIntosh — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 21:21:59 +0000

The DMN After Effects Channel had an article on Creating Animated Backgrounds so I thought I would create my own variation just in time for Christmas. It is a 20 second 720p loop with Red, Green and white light rays.
