I’ve had the good fortune of working with the amazing team at 7 AFL and NEP to help create motion graphics for the 2023 AFL broadcast.
Here’s some of the gfx I made from full frame graphics to lower 3rds; 3D renders to composited logos; and opening titles for Talking Finals.
Hi! 👋 It's been a minute since I showed my face around here, so thought I'd re-introduce myself. My name is Andrew (most people call me Andy though), and I create engaging and exciting motion graphics.

ALT Me in a blue linen shirt, sitting in front of my desk. Behind me is my laptop and a 2nd monitor with After Effects open on the screen.
I predominantly work from my home studio which I share with my partner and talented artist Ruby MacKinnon, and our lap-loving, ginger cat Ron. Whilst Ruby and my styles differ wildly, its great to be able to get a 2nd opinion from a fellow creative when needed

When I'm not on the clock, I'm a big ol' nerd who likes to spend his time playing games with mates (both video and board varieties), playing basketball, or going out for brunch and/or mexican food.

👇Had a fun challenge this week: rendering and compositing 20 CG televisions for the anniversary of Friday night footy.
40 years ago, an institution was born. And it changed our football world.
This is Friday Night Football.

I think I found the secret to magically getting more freelance work.
Just say to anyone else, "I'm finally gonna take some time to cut my new reel"
Then BAM! client emails for weeks. – at Chicago, IL
I’ve been working almost exclusively with Dave’s or David’s for the last 6 weeks - is this my new niche?
Lots of good food for thought here for mograph peeps:

We needed to hire new artists @SpilltDesign.
We watched 500+ reels.
We hired 2.
@jkorenman is building @roloworks to help solve the problem of connecting artists to jobs – but until then?
Here's what we learned about getting hired in motion design in 2022 🧵
Good read by @simonbronson on the new @thenode_is news site about AI generated art. I enjoyed reading the various takes others in the Node community have 🤖

So far this year, I've made 10 After Effects tools that are 100% free 💸
Here they all are 🧵

Hey AI motion peoples, I'm writing an article regarding AI generated art 🤖for an upcoming @thenode_is news site.
The fears, implementation & impacts for our community.
If you have 2 minutes & love surveys, I would love some input:

Wow AI generated art is only just getting started. Can only imagine the kinds of creative tools that are going to be common place in the future 🤯

Love it 🤩 I feel like after the initial rush of people just straight up sharing their prompt-generated images, we’re now seeing people use these images as a starting point in different ways and I find it fascinating!

Hi all, there were a lot of questions about my Midjourney AI to 3D post, this should clear things up hopefully. Full video tutorial end to end here:

I need a @Gartic Phone X @midjourney mash up - I wanna write a prompt, have someone else try to guess what it was based on the output, and repeat...
