A motion design piece for DEP, exploring its visual identity through animated brand elements, including a box, a roll-up banner, and a book with turning pages.
The page transitions form the letter E from the DEP logo, bringing the brand identity into the animation itself.

I hope I'm in the right place because gods know I've scoured everywhere else I can think of.

I have this idea for an interactive D20 that I want to utilize for my website. I've tried building it myself, but I am TERRIBLE at coding. I tried having Ai do it... turns out every Ai model is JUST AS BAD at it as I am, if not worse in some cases.

So I've come here in the hopes that someone might see this and be able to help. Here's hoping.

Not sure it it would help, but If you need any specific details about the concept just ask.

For a while, every new project meant hunting for the same fonts and stock footage I'd already used before, because everything was scattered across random folders.

What fixed it: one shared "Library" folder outside any single project, with subfolders like Fonts, Stock_Footage, Sound_FX, LUTs. Every new After Effects project just points to that library instead of copying files locally.

Benefits I didn't expect:

No more duplicate footage eating up disk space

Collaborators can use the same library without me sending files one by one

Missing font/footage warnings almost disappeared

The only downside is I have to be careful when archiving a finished project, since the assets live outside its folder.

How do you handle shared assets across projects? One library, or do you just duplicate files each time?
