FA 23: Film Firsts Motion Design
"Film Firsts" is a motion project that celebrates the history of cinema. In this short clip, several key moments of cinema history are presented to the viewer, accompanied by a visual inspired by the film. Some visuals are literal, while others are an abstraction of key imagery from the film. The motion piece ends with a sentiment that is meant to inspire the viewers to make their own mark within cinema history.
Learning Outcomes:
This was my second major project in Motion Design 1. This project helped me to expand my skillset and understanding of motion principles and of the program itself. Although the design is quite simple, abstracting each film was sometimes challenging because I wanted the imagery to be recognizable, but not obvious or cliche. This project was invaluable because I was able to learn about different animation techniques and storyboarding, which is/will be applicable to my design work.
