In this tutorial Markus walks us through the creation of a video accompaniment to Bruce Lee’s ‘Be Water’ philosophy. It features vibrant motion typographic sub-titles, animated illustrations and clever camera techniques. The training will be split over 3 days for a total of 71 minutes of tutorial video.

In day 1 of the training Markus designs and animates the typography for the video. This tutorial is an excellent compliment to Markus’s ‘Create Rhythmic Motion Typography‘ tutorial and demonstrates some more advanced typographic techniques.

In day 2 of the training Markus demonstrates how to animate realistic water physics moving between a cup and a bottle. You’ll learn how to create pouring water animations and realistic impact ripples.

These clever animations will be combined with the typographic ground-work we laid out in day 1 of the training. The complete video will begin to take shape.

In day 3 of the training Markus demonstrates how to construct an interconnected After Effects scene from many different animations. You’ll then learn how to track a moving camera to the scene.

This is the final video in the “Be Water” tutorial series, and should leave you with all the techniques needed to create a similar style of typographic and animated video.
