History of Motion Graphics Response


The History of Motion Graphics Response:

First of all fascinating video. It really helped explain where graphic design and motion graphics interacted on the same plane and where they were divided from animation. At times I wish we could bridge that gap more often as designers but they would also take us away from the opportunity to work with someone as dedicated to their art as we are our own to possibly fantastic results. Showing objects portraying themselves rather than characters really felt like a possibility still defined as neutral ground. I had no idea that motion design had gone back so far. So far that I don't think even those people creating it had any idea to what genre of materials that they were creating and shaping for the future. Its incredible and so exciting to see where things have changed in the last one hundred years. Let alone in the last 15 years. The technology is reaching the point where the mind is the limit rather than the machine. This really inspires me to push into motion now more than ever. Thanks for sharing.
