Another blog?? really? Yes, really. One thing I've noticed during my time as a Broadcast Designer is, if you're not in News, no one knows what the difference between a Broadcast Designer and a Motion Designer really is. So targeting them with useful resources has never been a major focus.

CreativeCOW used to have a Broadcast Design forum back in the day. But it got rolled into the Motion Design forum. Not many of us were using it, so I can't really blame them. Regardless, thats where this blog fits in. I don't plan on posting every little tidbit of After Effects news out there. Or following up with the latest software updates or hottest shops in the game. What I hope to do is gather up a good set of resources that would useful for those in the trenches.

Working in News can be stressful, and having the time to finesse your craft is just hard. Basically what you design in a few minutes hits air just as fast. When we're talking opens, well you have a few days, if you're lucky. But most of the time not, and it'll air over and over and over so you can painfully be reminded on how rushed you were. Nice. How do you avoid that feeling? By working ahead. By setting yourself up to succeed, by arming yourself with the knowledge to make your work stand out. If any of the stuff featured on this site can help you on your quest, then it's served it's purpose. That's why another blog is born. If you enjoy the content featured here or would like to contribute, drop me a line. I'd love to hear from you. Enjoy the stay, and help make this a place we can all learn from.
