When people ask me “What did you do for living?” I response to them “Motion Graphic Designer”, Their first initial response was..”Oooh..cool” with their perplexed face…then I ask “Do you know what is Motion Graphic?”, then they will answered “no” very relief. Well, the term “Motion Design” are not known well enough puzzled me a lot, since people run into Motion Design almost everyday in their life. For example, the Tv Commercial they seeing on Tv, Title animation in Movies, Corporate Videos ..and so on.

Well, I think it’s time for people to start appreciating the art of Motion Design, and the video below explain exceptionally good on what Motion Design are all about.

Transcript from the Video Above.

Motion Design is the art of bringing graphic design to life through animation.

Turn a static letter into moving letter.

Or animate corporate logo.

Or to help to bring a photography to life.

You can also create a whole world from illustrations

Use video as a graphic support

Motion Design can also portray characters, however they do not directly express themselves.

Motion Design was born at the very start of cinema, and began to really come alive in the 1940s with experimental artists like Oskar Fishinger and Norman McLaren. …until a spectacular rise after the 1950s thanks to designers such as Saul Bass, Maurice Binder and Pablo Ferro…

Meanwhile, in the 1950s television started to animate its logos and titles…continuing in the 1960s…1970s…1980s..up until 1990s

Because although this art form has now existed for more than a century, it has literally exploded in the last 15 years thanks to the digital revolution.

Film credits, TV channel identities, websites, mobile phones, tablets, TV advertisements….Motion Design is omnipresent.

I have just been awe by the newest google chrome HTML 5 music collaboration between the band OK Go, the dance troupe and choreographers Pilobolus, and Google, you can embed your message in a music video and have the band dance it out. The band and Pilobolus dancers are filmed through a clear floor, making increasingly complex shapes and eventually words—and messages you can write yourself.

OK Go are well-known for their delightfully creative music videos, including Here It Goes Again, their first work featuring half a dozen treadmills, and This Too Shall Pass, based around an extraordinary Rube Goldberg machine—both of which have become extraordinarily popular on YouTube. We’re excited to collaborate with them on another project that finds its natural home on the web.

But the best of all, the music that featuring in the video, “All is Not Lost” are both inspiring and sensational. Below are the lyrics.

OK Go, All is Not Lost Lyrics

It’s coming down, babe
Could be as bad as they talked about
It’s coming down, babe
Could be before we can make it out

But when they say that all is lost, all is not lost, all is not lost
But when they say that all is lost, all is not lost, no, all is not lost at all

And they could be right about it
They could be right in some crazy way
‘Cause if they yell fire, well that’s what we get
Yeah, they yell fire and that’s what we get

So, yeah it’s coming babe
Probably bad as they talked about
But just remember when the tide rolls in
Can’t be too long ’til it rolls back out

And when they say all is lost, all is not lost, all is not lost
But when they say that all is lost, all is not lost, no all is not lost at all

And if they burn, if they burn this place down to the ground, what does it matter?
What does it matter now?

‘Cause when they say that all is lost, all is not lost, all is not lost
But when they say that all is lost, all is not lost
No, all is not lost, not lost, at all

Apple unveiled the new Final Cut Pro at the FCPUG Supermeet on 12 April as rumored, it still primarily use to edit video, but this time, the user interface finally being updated to match the more modern “iMovie” looks. The new version includes such features as color management, background rendering, improved keyword and metadata support, and a magnetic timeline that lets you move clips around without trim collisions with other clips.

This time around it added the word “X” into it, which match the Mac OS “X” word, from the initial screenshot, it look exciting !
