Chris & Trish Meyer

CMG Keyframes is a repository for columns, articles, and videos created by Trish & Chris Meyer of the subject of creating motion graphics using Adobe After Effects and other related programs. It also contains articles on typography, audio, and 3D, as well as links to relevant articles Chris & Trish have published elsewhere.

Trish & Chris Meyer are the founders of Crish Design (formerly known as CyberMotion), an award-winning motion graphic design studio that has recently relocated from Los Angeles to the Albuquerque area. 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.

In addition to their motion graphics work, Trish and Chris were among the original users of After Effects, and have written numerous books including "Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects" and "After Effects Apprentice" (both published by Focal Press). They speak regularly at conferences around the country, and perform custom training for studios. Both have backgrounds as musicians, and a close relationship between sound and picture informs much of their work.

On Artbeats.com: Color Matching

Unifying color biases between clips - in the shadows, highlights, and midtones.

During a job, footage may come from a variety of sources: freshly-shot clips, archival elements, greenscreen, 3D renders, and stock footage. The trick is making all of them seem to have been shot under the same lighting conditions and with the same equipment, to avoid a visual disconnect as these shots are cut together.

There are several ways to solve this problem. In this article for Artbeats.com, we demonstrate how to study the color biases present in a guide clip, and color correct the other clips using an effect such as Color Balance or Color Finesse so that all the clips share the same biases in the shadows, midtones, and highlights.
