Motion 3: Focusing Microscope

Learn how to make a focusing microscope with Apple's Motion 3.

Hey guys, E. Meek 77, I just have a real quick motion to put up here. Some guy emailed me who is new to motion and he is doing a video and he wanted to know how to do a focusing microscope. So, I figured out to help him out, now I planning to motion here and fool round a little bit and this is what I come up with. I go into generators, right here. Pick cellular, drag and drop it to the canvass and I will give us this cellular looking look, exactly what he is looking for and of course, you can go adjust this and make it look how you want from the sides of it, to the speed of it, but I am going to leave like this, because that is pretty good. I am going to colorize it. I am going to make it radioactive like that, right there. Now what I want to do is. I am going to go to add filter, distortion, sphere, that will give us the sphere, so let us bring the radios down in our hub to about right there. And, stop playback, hit our home key to go to the beginning. I am going to add a filter, a blur filter, use to dashing blur and we will go over into our inspector and we will blur it completely out like that, right there. Then we will hit our record button, drag our play head to the end of our track and bring the blur back in focus like that, right there. Now, if I play this back, you will see, it looks like someone is looking to the microscope that is being putting into the focus, really easy, really quick, and really simple. And of course, we can go in here. we can adjust our blur to drag it down like this to make it happen a little faster, there right there. Maybe even a little quicker than that, and there is our focus in microscope. Like I said, really easy, no problem, everything you need is right in motion, but the guys knew to it, so I figured to help him out, it is what he needed so, I hope this helps men. See you next time.
