bump for interest

I think MDE is a decent comedian group, and although half the jokes they make fucking suck, the cinematography is compensates a little bit for that.
But the graphic interstitials are the single best thing of their shows by far, there's real talent in those.

i'm going to sound like a useless fucking retard because i can't find the vid for the life of me but it's all adobe after effects and there's a timelapse vid of sam doing an entire bumper/transition
as much as sam bitches about it, his art school background and shitty graphic design jobs he had before MDE helped because there's some really impressive shit. literally all terminally online artists just ape his style now

saw a thread about making adult swim bumps similar to this one, anyone know about that? could solve this problem for us

1st creativity, 2nd as far as how to accomplish it, You'll want to look into Adobe After Effects and a bunch of layers and plug-ins.

>>460697
How do i know you’re like 18 at best and been a fan of mde for a year max

>>460697
The Happy World Daddy series has Sam's best work, see SSRI sunshine and Herbal T

>>460697
most of the recent gfx are done by konzept globe.

>>460697
You realize Sam ripped off emigre magazines right? It's not new or different in anyway, just another derivative just like ripping off Tim and Eric's anti-humor. Just look up emigre and copy their style, add some schizo /pol/ ramblings and you now are on the same level as Sam's WP bumps lol

>>460937
Sam literally told people in a video to look at Emigre magazine if you want to know what good design is, fucking retard

>>460937
truth nvke
>>460944
Wouldn't that prove anons point? He actually said that? KEK, couldn't be more blatant he stole their shit

>>460937
>>460947
every aspiring designer and artist out there is ripping shit from pinterest, tumblr and so on. there's nothing wrong with copying basic formulas and then adding your own substance to it. No one here said MDE's gfx were the best that ever were or something, stop getting your panties in a bunch

"ripped off emigre magazines" lmao

Heard of this musician who ripped his style off "soundclouds" or something like that, oh and I think he copied "discogs" too KEK truth nvke bro

>>460953
>copying basic formulas
Emigre is actually good and the og shit, not basic in anyway. Sam just copied egregiously from it, but you can cope away
>>460956
Sam sisses on high alert

>>460958
I didn't specifically refer to emigre you schizo. I don't even care about sam hyde

>>460947
Oh yeah? What part of Emigre magazine did he rip off? Have you even read one issue of Emigre. Post some examples genius

>>460761
This

>>460697
Most of the graphics these days are done by Konzept and she studied at Pratt Institute, so you could do that

anyone got the mde videos archive? will probably try learning after effects.

>>460991
This it?

What plugins would you recommend for this kinda thing?

>>460979
konzept is an old guy, it's not hannah. she's just one of the two known women sam has a child with

>>460761
Im 40 not really a fan and know little about design but they look cool and have a unique style to them.

>>460961
Emigre #58

bump. maybe someone knows how to make them

where can i get after effects? PTB??

>>460958
>Emigre is actually good and the og shit, not basic in anyway. Sam just copied egregiously from it, but you can cope away
emigre been bit so many times already that it feels normal when people are overt about biting it.
the transitional video stuff on world peace looked really good i thought, but that was less emigre and more just dumping AE effects on clips and dumping the dr bronners random text shit everywhere. I don't think sam did any of that shit though

>>460697
The only post-processing I see is that the framerate is super low and it looks like it was exported with a lower than normal quantity of colors and pattern dithering to make up for that.

the fuck software is this?

Your main software stack is After Effects and Cinema 4D. Hyde has been using these for 20 years.

Hyde was an illustrator first, not necessarily a designer. You used to be able to find bits and pieces on his deviantArt but he has since deleted it and I'm unaware of any archives. Some early MDE stuff features his illustrations along with their book, How To Bomb.

Konzept (the one who led graphics and art direction since 2022ish for shows like Happy World Daddy, Ecstasy of Car, and Extreme Peace) also studied illustration as mentioned here >>460979

It's important that this is mentioned because it explains their skill and craft. They learned the basics of design from an illustrator-first perspective.

Hyde recommends reading Manfred Meier's "Basic Principles of Design" and practicing the exercises as if you're taking a legitimate course. You can find scans on Anna's Archive, as physical copies now cost $800+ USD.

Genuinely study design. You need to know how to make the skeleton function before making things "look good". People usually default to slapping a lot of texture stuff over their designs because they subconsciously know that it's not good enough. They're missing something essential under neath and they're trying to cover it up. Avoid this at all costs.

Hyde pulled from all sorts of places when it came to designing for MDE. Emigre #58 was mentioned here and they're right. World Peace's second episode is pretty much Emigre 58. Hyde doesn't care about making things that are original, but rather things that look good.
A lot of the stuff in Happy World Daddy (the later half when Konzept took over art direction) had specific themes per episode. Konzept took from medical charts, diagrams, old web pop-up ads, product brochures, shit like that. WP2/EP was pretty weak in terms of art direction.

Picking apart what OP posted >>460697
This is a interstitial from Extreme Peace episode 1. The main 3D title in the blocky-sans-serif font was most-likely done in C4D, along with the titles scrolling on the top and bottom of the screen in blue.
The main text in the serif font is just keyframed to be squashed and stretched with an echo effect behind it in AE.
The Chinese characters in the back were likely captured on a legitimate CRT display, maybe along with the rest of the elements.
The serif text has a harsh drop shadow and some beveling(?) to make it look like early 3D text. I believe it's all 2D.
I attached an earlier version of the graphic. You can see what's going on under the hood a bit better.
