C4D 11.5 + Attractor
Created in C4D 11.5 using the new Mograph Rigid Body tag.
I am still amazed at how easy these are to setup and how quick they are to render.

C4D Quick Tip: Enhanced OpenGL
Have you ever been working on a complex scene that was causing your scene to slow down and not play back in real time.
If you are using a gfx card that supports OpenGL it can be used to help accelerate your scene. To do this go to Display -> Enhanched OpenGL
The GFX card can be used to render the transparency, shadows, post effects and noise channels when you are working in your scene.

Workspaces
One of the biggest challenges for students who are venturing into the world of video editing or motion graphics (Or anyone who is learning a new program) is to find an effective way to arrange the program so that the user can quickly find and easily access files that they require.
A lot of people have difficulty finding a layout that works for them. So here I am compiling a list of the most widely used programs.
Avid

I think the most effective way to edit with Avid is to have the timeline fullscreen on the right hand monitor, I started out having my timeline on the left underneath the composer monitor but I quickly became tired of this when I started editing more complex videos that required lots of video tracks.
After Effects

This layout mirrors my Avid workspace, it is a layout that I have grown used to and try to mirror in all the programs I use.
Photoshop

I like having as much room as possible for the image that I am editing. This is a pretty simple layout that I haven't changed much from the original. The history and the layers tabs are actually on the second monitor.
