TUTORIAL: HOW TO CREATE ABSTRACT MOTION BACKGROUNDS IN AFTER EFFECTS WITHOUT 3RD PARTY PLUGINS
This is a preview of the effect.
I have always wondered how people made great abstract motion graphics backgrounds and perhaps you are like me, without any clue. Lots of sites are selling their abstract backgrounds and if you would love to learn a technique or two and save money, then let's go!
Step 1
Create a new composition of any size
Step 2
create a new layer of a particular colour. This is going to be the layer we will duplicate and use to create the rest of the effect.
Step 3
With the layer selected, Go to Effects>Transition>CC Grid Wipe. This will apply the effect but you will not see anything yet unless you do some adjustments to some of the settings.
These are the settings we would alter to sell the effect:
Step 4
Choose the first layer and press the home button, to set the timeline at frame 0. Now under the effects tab, press the stopwatch next to completion to set a keyframe. Move to about 1 second and drag the slider to 100. You will now see the layer beneath.
Step 5
Press U to reveal the keyframes you created in the previous step and click on completion. This highlights both keyframes (they turn yellow). Go to Edit>Copy. Select the layers below the first layer and choose Edit>paste.
Step 6
Offset the position of the keyframes in the layers, to create your desired abstract background animation. You can then go ahead to add your own creative details by adjusting or even animating the other parameters of the effect.
You can show me what you created with this effect.

Introducing Holison Adiku
Location: Ashongman Estates, Accra
Area: Graphics and Web Design and Motion Graphics
Contact: 0266311937
e-mail: holison08@yahoo.com
Below are a few of his works.
Some Cool Sites for Motion Graphics [CHECK THEM OUT!]
1. First of all, if you are into motion graphics and you do not know of Andrew Kramer's Video Copilot then ummmmmm..... I don't really think you are into motion graphics. Heck, if you are a newbie, that is the place to start. You will learn a whole lot and have so much fun. Go ahead, don't be scared, try it.
2. If you are a beginner to motion graphics and use of Adobe After Effects, you may not know exactly where to look for help. Sometimes, you may not even know what to do, when you launch the application. Don't worry any longer because aetuts+ is just the place for you. This is a very big community of After Effects users, where you can access and submit your own content (for money) and receive or give constructive criticism. There are lots of techniques displayed by thousands of users from all over the world. A very quick way to learn about the various plugins and the like.
3. Sometimes when looking for tutorials and stuff, we forget how powerful youtube is. Look, anything you want to learn in this world is on youtube. Just head to youtube and type in a search for motion graphics or Adobe After Effects tutorials and you will have millions of Gigabytes of data at your disposal.
Um.... whilst you are there, check out my youtube channel and watch by pretty useless renders... lol.
Meet Kelly Mensah [UPDATED]
Hey guys, I want to introduce to you a name you will be hearing a lot in the future. Are you ready, well, here goes...
Kelly is my co-worker and he specializes in video editing. He trained at Ghallywood Film Institute in Ghana. He is a crazy apple (mac) fanatic and is great at using Adobe Premier Pro and Final Cut Pro. He has got a great sense of humour and can be really dramatic at times (Obviously...since he is from a drama school!).
His greatest motivation for working hard is when he sees people going to work in the mornings, driving their own cars, and hanging their jackets at the back of their cars. LOL. He is a godly person too and that is a plus. He is self motivated and has big dreams and great plans.
I am excited to present Kelly to you because, everyone with a good heart and great determination, as well as patience is gonna get real far in life. So, don't ever forget this name, KELLY MENSAH.

Motion Graphics will never be the same again
Welcome to a world of infinite possibilities. If you can imagine it, I can create it to meet your tastes. I am a freelance motion graphics artist, who specializes in Adobe After Effects, 3ds Max, and Cinema 4D.
What do I do? You can call me a motion graphics artist, animator, creative, 3D or 2D animator, or simply a visual effects artist.
I believe it is about time we had a motion graphics community in Ghana. Let's connect and share ideas.
