What is Motion Design

Postby momoffduty » Tue Apr 17, 2012 7:06 pm

Interesting video explaining what is motion design. Has lots of familiar indents and movie title sequences.
There are 12 versions of this video in other languages.

Those are too good to go by so quickly. I'd like to slow it down to about 1/3 speed.

Saul Bass is a true genius among graphic designers. In addition to designing pretty all of the greatest movie title sequences of all time (without the help of a computer), he also created just about every cool corporate logo in the world.

You can see some examples here.

Does anyone know what software was used to create the 3d effect from the tarot cards? Blender maybe?

My guess would be Photoshop and After Effects ...

I didn't see anything in the 3d tarot cards sequences that couldn't be done with Photoshop, After Effects, and sufficient effort. Of course, that doesn't rule out other approaches.

Lots of that Bob!

I was wondering about the war scene at :50. The gunman swivels to reveal his back. Would that take a few photos of different views? Or maybe some excellent PS skills?

Maybe that gunman part was taken from a old news film and static background added?

I was wondering about that myself when I first saw it. It's clearly not just a simple rotation of the cutout. I think that one may have been done with a 3d modeling application such as 3ds Max or Blender. The photo can be mapped to the model as a texture. They would have to clone in a little where the rotation exposed areas not in the photo, but as long as the rotation isn't too great, it wouldn't be that much work.

It seems like it would take a lot of cloning in PS. Guess you could use a photo of someone else for the back of the person. The 3d modeling may be the answer. But, then again, what TreeTops said of footage. :-k

This was driving me nuts on how this was done, looked at the credits and with some googling found the original video. The description tells how he did it (3Ds Max, Bob correct again :) ) and if you look at the discussion there is a bit more info too.

Much thanks Cheryl. Camera Mapping hmm....Will I ever get there? Looks like a tremendous amount of work.
