Creating Motion Graphics for After Effects, 4th Edition for CS3, was released November 2007. See Books for details.
CyberMotion is a motion graphics design studio in the Los Angeles area, founded by Trish and Chris Meyer. We specialize in high-impact, multi-layered 2D and 3D graphics for video and film, often tightly integrated with music.
Samples of our work can be found in our Projects section. We have created motion graphics for a large variety of media and venues, including film titles and trailers, commercials and show opens, and DVD bonus chapters, plus animations for nine-screen circlevisions, the Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas, and NBC's AstroVision sign in Times Square. We also have crafted main and support graphics for a number of trade shows, press events, and other promotional purposes.
Many know us for the books we write about our craft, including the two-volume reference series Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects (widely used as a textbook, and considered the bible of its field), as well as the project-oriented After Effects in Production which contains a blend of tutorials and case studies. Please visit our Books page for more information.
We created a two-volume video library for high-end stock footage house Artbeats. Called Liquid Abstracts and Nature Abstracts, these use the natural motion of water, leaves, wind chimes, and shadows as a starting point to create colorful background textures crafted to sit comfortably behind text, lower thirds, and ID bugs. We think you'll find them sensuous, as well as highly useful.
We regularly speak at trade shows and conferences. More details on all of these may be found on our Training page.
In addition, visit our Training page for an overview of products and seminars that we offer to help you learn more about After Effects and motion graphics. Trish also teaches After Effects classes in various cities around the US, and is available for in-house custom classes. See our Classes page for details.
In general, you will find that a large portion of this web site is dedicated to sharing what we have learned. The central hub for this is our Sharing page.
Chris also acts as an expert witness in intellectual property cases involving music sampling and sound analysis. He has prepared detailed analysis and reports for a number of large labels and artists in the Los Angeles area. If you are interested in these services, please email Chris at chris@cybmotion.com
On other subjects, we also invite you to visit our Wildscaping website – what we do when we’re away from our computers – plus our Commentary article, Going Green without Wasting Green, on how to be socially as well as financially responsible in your business.
We look forward to working with you. If you would like more information on our work, please contact us.
