Awesome Motion Graphics Video

I stumbled on this animation randomly and thought the animations were really awesome. One thing I think makes this animation great is its speed and pace; nothing is ever on screen longer than it needs to be and there is always some sort of movement, even if slow at times, but always something is moving. The lesson I take from this is the more energy an animation has, the more fun it is to watch. At least for my brain.

The Basics of Motion Design

Motion design is the most intricate and dynamic field of design. This video from the Hochschute für Künste (University of the Arts) Bremen introduces viewers to the many different aspects of motion design.

Ranging from color to sound, timing to physics, the video gives a vocabulary for discussing the art of motion. Taken by itself, the video covers so much in 23 minutes that it is worth taking notes on.
