Daniel Gies is not only and amazing talent, but also generous in that with every project he seems to work on, he passes a long tips, techniques and tutorials showing how to solve some really complex problems that he may have encountered along the way, which is absolutely fantastic.
Daniel Gies gives us an overview of his stellar tutorial series on how he created the “Rocket-Dees” short animation using FreeForm Pro, Trapcode Particular, Expressions and the AE Puppet Tool
Daniel shows how to create a wing flapping animation and breaks down the making of the animation he created called Rocket-Dees. Here Daniel uses Mettle’s Freeform Pro to facilitate the wing deformation and animation of an illustrative bird character in After Effects, using AE Expressions and the Puppet Tool in After Effects to create the rig for the bird. Check out the tutorial for Animating Wings in After Effects Using FreeForm Pro, and Making of Flight of the “Rocket-Dees” – Introduction here, with Rigging the Wings in After Effects shown here.
