5.2.2 - Reaction Diffusion
@skalitude_show Trying out some new effects with this Tyler the creator edit. I made this 100% in photoshop and only used premiere pro for some timing fixes and audio. Very tedious! If you look up “reaction diffusion” that’s basically how I did it Tyler the creator edit Are we still friends? #tylerthecreator #motiongraphics #motiondesign #arewestillfriends #edit

Reaction diffusion is an animation process inside multiple different resources and softwares. Usually used inside After Effects and Blender, Reaction diffusion is a tiring and long process as it requires a strong enough system to render a lot of frames and animation states.
I found Reaction diffusion on a TikTok post of someone using Reaction diffusion to cover a song by Tyler, the Creator. They used Reaction diffusion by matching up the lyrics, applying that in the diffusion and fading away the text to make a really trippy and interesting design. I've known about this process, but I didn't know the name or dive a lot into it, as it was at a time that didn't really need my attention for it, but this 5.2.2 brief allowed me to explore that.
If you wanted to start with Reaction diffusion, it's a hard process to go into without any prior experience or experience with After Effects, graphic design and animation. As it involves many processes, determination to complete the outcome, and requires multiple resources to understand all the processes and outcomes you can make with it.
