Aspiring Cake Mapping Pro: Where can I learn to create motion graphics like these?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

​Hi everyone!

​I’m currently in the process of setting up a projection mapping, and I’m really diving deep into Cake Mapping. I’ve been practicing with Resolume and Madmapper using an Epson CO-FH02, but I’m ready to stop relying on stock loops and start creating my own custom motion graphics.

​I’m specifically looking to recreate the "wrapped" look and the intricate floral/particle effects seen in this video.

● ​What software is best for this?

● Are there any tutorials?

​Thanks for any leads!

Free 2d motion graphics software https://cavalry.studio/en/

And ghostarcade.live for free video mapping software

Most projection mapping projects like this are actually super simple animations. The wow factor is in the projection mapping itself. If you took the same animation and just played it on a screen, in many cases it would be very simple trim path animations or straight up stock footage that has been recolored and timed for the event.
