Liquid Motion

This week I saw a video on Vimeo that demonstrated the trend of liquid motion. Liquid motion is when organic shapes transform in a liquid way. I find it very intriguing and thrilling. I have always wanted to learn how to make these kinds of animations and was not aware that it is now considered a trend. I can see why many people are drawn to it because there are not many limitations to the animation.   

This type of transformation really brings a psychedelic feel to animation. I enjoy seeing how creative people can be with liquid motion and hope to learn how to do it myself one day.

This week I chose to share a short film I saw on Vimeo called "Elements of Design." This video really breaks down each one of the most important elements you need when it comes to design. The video itself plays through animation that relates to each one of the elements that is being shown which makes it really intriguing to watch.









The video really inspired me to be more creative and more particular when I design things now. I feel like this can really spark some ideas for anyone who tries to design or animate.

Wake

This week I saw this video on Vimeo and it really caught my interest. There were many elements in this video that made me think how simple yet powerful this piece is. The video is called "Wake" and it is an experimental student short. The theme of this short is consciousness. It was inspired by the 2nd season of the television show Mr. Robot. I enjoy the 3D graphics of this piece very much. It gives a deeper connection with the audience.











Overall the piece gave me chills and sent me pretty deep into thought about what was going on and how it was effecting me. The video is very abstract and intriguing and I hope it makes others feel as curious and entertained as I was.

From dealing with 2D and 3D graphic design, to short films, and even motion graphics only dealing with typography; there are many different compositions that are very interactive and inspiring to those interested in motion design.











One piece that I particularly enjoyed from this website was called "Listen." It was a short film that had both real life film that transformed into animation. It has to do with someone trying to review over study cards of different animals with a young child. You can tell that the child is becoming overwhelmed and frustrated through his voice, but the graphic images that are being displayed really help you visualize his emotions. These graphic images are very spiratic and confusing but fit in with the piece well and really convey a sense of frustration and confusion.
