Chris & Trish Meyer

Creating Motion Graphics is the blog for award-winning motion graphic designers Chris and Trish Meyer of Crish Design (formerly CyberMotion). Here is where they share not just their latest tips, tricks, and gotchas for the tools they use, but also discoveries that help them run their business, sources that inspire their designs, and musings on the future of the motion graphics industry.

Chris & Trish Meyer founded Crish Design (formerly known as CyberMotion) in the very earliest days of the desktop motion graphics industry. Their design and animation work has appeared on shows and promos for CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, HBO, PBS, and TLC; in opening titles for several movies including Cold Mountain and The Talented Mr. Ripley; at trade shows and press events for corporate clients ranging from Apple to Xerox; and in special venues encompassing IMAX, CircleVision, the NBC AstroVision sign in Times Square, and the four-block-long Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas. They were among the original users of CoSA (now Adobe) After Effects, and have written the numerous books including "Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects" and "After Effects Apprentice" both published by Focal Press.

Both Chris and Trish have backgrounds as musicians, and are currently fascinated with exploring fine art and mixed media in addition to their normal commercial design work. They have recently relocated from Los Angeles to the mountains near Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Essential After Effects Information

Todd Kopriva is one of the heros of the After Effects world.

Every After Effects user should bookmark the Region of Interest blog by Todd Kopriva of Adobe. Todd was the documentation lead for several versions, and now is very active in tech support. His blog always has the most recent information on bug fixes, bug avoidance, best practices, and learning resources.

Todd recently helped create a learning resource of his own: a free series of After Effects Frequently Asked Questions videos on video2brain. These answer several of the most common panics users (both beginners and nont-beginners) may experience. One caveat: Most involve Preferences, which is under the Edit menu on the Windows machine Todd is using in these videos; on the Mac, prefs are found under the After Effects menu. Other than that, they’re short, clear, and to the point - well worth the very minimal time required.
