About Me.

Picture
My name is Michael Peña, I'm 18 years old, a video editor, a teacher to some, and a self-taught Motion Designer most of all. I've been doing Motion Design for the last 4 years as well as creating content for YouTube.

I first got into Motion Design when I wanted an intro for my channel. Like many other small creators, I asked if people would make me an intro. I even asked some if they could do it for free. All of them either didn't respond, or say no. It was until then, I stumbled upon an Adobe After Effects tutorial. This tutorial showed me how to create an intro. Whether it was good or not I was amazed that I was able to create motion like that.

​With the skills I learned from that video, I started making motion graphics for some of my other YouTube pals at the time. I also experimented with solids, transitions, masks, dynamic keyframes, compositing, low poly, etc.
