Motion Graphics: Context, History and Theory

Motion Graphics are pieces of digital footage or animation which create the illusion of motion or rotation, and are usually combined with audio for use in multimedia projects. During todays lecture with Sara we looked at the context, history and theory of motion graphics. We watched a number of different videos which all presented motion graphics in a different way. They are displayed below:

Motion Graphics has developed hugely through the ages, and with the use of programmes such as After Effects and Cinema 4D, we are able to create our own projects within uni. I am incredibly interested in Motion Graphics and how I can improve my knowledge about the software which is available.
