Inspiration

Week 1 - Twisted Pictures Opening

Explanation:

This sequence showcases motion graphics regarding 3d animation and typography, that Lionsgate uses for the Saw movies, which i was really interested in back in 2023. I find this animation to be quite effective and matches the brand identity of Saw perfectly.

The lightning transition and the wires being twisted with that piece of metal falling from the sky is just perfect. I would love to create something similar!

Week 1 - 98.5

Explanation:

This was a relatively basic but nice example i found in the wild. It has a clean transition and some nice pop-up effects on the bubbles of information.

Week 1 - STM 60 Year Anniversary

Explanation:

This one had a mix of everything, from the typewriter effect with the text at the beginning, with the bubbles in the backgrounds appearing and constantly changing colors, which is then also applied to the STM logo later on. This was a pretty cool motion graphic for a special Anniversary!

Week 2 - Original Xbox (2001) Boot Up

Explaination:

I find this one to be pretty impressive since it almost 25 years old. I am suprised I didn't put this one up last week, since i always enjoyed this boot-up. It has this retrofuture aestethic to it, which i love.

The green orb effect where it keeps shaking and pulsing into something and after a while it becomes louder and louder. Which it then turns into a clean transition to showcase the Xbox Logo at the time. This example reminded me of the Stranger Things example showed in class, since they are both ominous and if you never seen either before you would not be able to tell what each one was.

Week 2 - Noovo logo animation

This has some simple masking with circles at the beginning. The element that really stands out for me is the simple logo animation at the end. It's really effective and i will be keeping this one in mind since it is also really simple.

Week 2 - Rockstar logo animation Red Dead Redemption

I really like this gun barrel animation, since it fits the game very well. I love everytime i see it so i put it here.

Week 3 - Se7en Title Sequence

Amazing title sequence, that scared me as a child. The music and the text on sreen fit so perfectly with overall dark aestethic of the film. The effect on the text is a really nice touch as well.

Week 3 - Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 (end credits)

This was one of my favourite end credits scenes as a child. I found the vibe to just be happy and the transitions were very clean. It was very clear alot of work was put into this, also the fonts were really nice, I especially like the animation of getting rid of the dark cloud and placing a sunny one with actors name on it (very creative).

Week 3 - Rem

These motion graphics are pretty simple and they play during the whole ride non-stop. Which is exactly why i like them, since if you ever get bored on the rem you can just look the screens. It is also a fun way to make passengers learn the rules on the rem.

Week 4 - Disney Intro

This intro always stuck with me a child simple and just iconic. This also was my inspo for my title sequence project.

Week 4 - Xbox 360 boot animation

My favourite logo animation of all time, simply iconic and acheives the perfect balance of simplicity and impact. It apppear it is also using a form of a trim paths as well which is awesome, for the the green lines at the start.

Week 4 - Opus Card Screen

This is a simple yet effective motion graphic used at the card machines for the Edouard-Montpetit station. It uses trim paths to showcase the colors on the STM logo, and their is also a simple tappying animation
