The Illusion of Lighting in After Effects

In Q2 2023, I had the opportunity to host educational streams for Adobe and bring back my Motion Design Hotline show with collaborator Kyle Hamrick. These are some lovely pieces from that stream that cover concepts around lighting in After Effects. While I spend more time teaching motion design than doing client work, this does free me up to make things more aesthetically and technically to my taste and share them with others.

I hope you enjoy these results, and if you want to learn how the effects were made, please enjoy the replays over on the Adobe Live youtube and Behance channels.
