Motion Graphics (Typography, Animated Logos)<\/span><\/h1>\n

\"motion_graphics\"<\/p>\n

While still considered a form of animation, motion graphics is a rather different from the other types of animation. Mostly because unlike the other types on our list it is not character or story driven. It\u2019s the art of creatively moving graphic elements or texts, usually for commercial or promotional purposes.<\/p>\n

About Motion Graphics<\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s the art of creatively moving graphic elements or texts, usually for commercial or promotional purposes. Think animated logos, explainer videos, app commercials, television promos or even film opening titles.<\/span><\/p>\n

The skills for motion graphics don\u2019t necessarily translate to the other types of animation, since they don\u2019t require knowledge of body mechanics or acting, but they do have some attributes in common such as understanding good composition and the all important camera motion.<\/span><\/p>\n

The process of creating Motion Graphics depends on the programs that are used, since video editing softwares often have different UI or settings, but the process is the same. Motion Graphics usually involves animating images, texts or video clips using key framing that are tweened to make a smooth motion between frames. These programs also supports scripts that will automatically alter the animations to various preferences that are required. Motion graphics also often uses particle systems to create various effects. It is basically points in 3D and 2D space that is shown as texts, images or visual effects. The particle effects are made with emitters that digitally produces lights, surfaces, or a disassembling animation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Motion Graphics are simply flat-based images or 3D objects that are given the illusion of motion, accompanied with music or sound effects. This technique is often used for multimedia projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

History<\/span><\/h2>\n

The term Motion Graphics came about computer based video editing, as programs like Adobe After Effects and Apple Motion made editing images definitely a lot more easier, since previously, before the advent of computer editing, it was a very time-consuming process, which made it limited for high-budget productions, but in present time it is highly popular for commercials, news shows and internet videos<\/span><\/p>\n

Software<\/h2>\n

After effects is the most common software for motion graphics. It is the software that streamlined motion graphics and made it so much easier to make.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s new integration with Cinema4D made it the ultimate tool to make the best looking videos (with ot without 3D) for any commercial use.<\/span><\/p>\n
