Figure 1.2 about motion graphic



Individual Task :


- Recommend 3 Professional Motion Graphics on blog with Rationals & Inspirations.
- Install After Effects & Illustration.


25 Creative Motion Graphics ( Logo Animation ) - Intro by Uali Design :

This is logo motion graphic. These express its means I guess such as time. 


Corporate advertising "Derive infinite future" 企業広告「引き出せ、無限大の未来」by セブン銀行(SEVEN BANK)

This video is for advertise by bank. It's created speedy, but also smoothly. I supposed that it is important for smooth design to create with blur.


東京事変ティザー映像「BRAND NEW INCIDENTS ▶2O2O」by 東京事変

This is the preview of new album by Tokyo-jihenn. My favorite band in Japan. Anyway this motion graphic is created with art and text. It's made simple and modern design and old design with Japanese culture. 





Week 2 : Kinetic Typography

Practical : 

This time, we learned what is kinetic typography. It's the animation with text.

It can be created by paragraph/excerpts.

Hence, these are created with both tool.

Grooup Task :
Also, we are given the task to make kinetic typography with selecting music ourselves. but this time I joined group lately, so I just did it myself with Japanese music.

I created it watching some lecture of kinetic typography on YouTube.

Feedback:
It was really good opportunity for me to learn what is motion graphic and how to create kinetic typography just because I supposed that I would like to create some video with that someday. So it was really fun for me and I would like to know more and more. Especially I would like to create some motion graphic with some music video such as Tokyojihenn. I can't wait to get knowledge and skill of creating motion graphic and kinetic typography and so on.

There are a lot of kind of expression as design, so I supposed that I really need to practice and be flexibly. This time, I just was encouraged to learn design more.






Week 3 : Create motion graphic chart

- Final Project’s Storyboarding 


I joined group 7 and did this task. For first week of this task, we collect some sketch for it each other. So this time I did sketch for 6 A-B part. Also I created animation part of 3B, 5C and 6A-B.


The sketch:

Feedback

Experience:
I have watched some lecture of AE to understand how to use it well with class and Youtube. 

Observations:
 I could know how to create animation for showing calendar move smoothly such as page turn effect. It was really difficult for me to understand, but I could use it more clearly after I watched the video lecture in Youtube. I noticed it was really easy to create.

Findings:
 I supposed that we need to keep in touch more and more will be better because some time I confused about the progress this time. But anyway I appreciate them for doing the task with me. It's really good experience for me to do submission with group member without face to face.
