Day 6 of 60-days-collecting-awesome-motion-design-references
I am gathering cool references for my own work as a Motion Designer. I found this one while navigating Vimeo. Made by the team at illo.tv
I love this one because it shows that even a line can work as a great storytelling device to build on top of it. Of course, it has to be matched with strong visual thinking and also good image curation. The overall animation style is also super fluid and engaging, even fun to watch!

60 days of references is a serious commitment. Are you already noticing patterns in what you're drawn to, or is day 6 still too early to tell?
Hi Maty! Yes I think it is a serious commitment haha, but in the long run I'll get able to have a curated library! I believe I am more drawn the mixed media and shape based motion pieces, I am avoiding having characters in the references I share because that is not something I...
Nice work to take inspiration. Post your work too.
nice
Building your own reference library instead of doomscrolling Pinterest is the move that actually levels up your taste. illo.tv work is always so clean, that people connects motion has such confident timing. Saving this whole series.

Made this video with H3.
Exploring typography animation.
The way the letters stretch and reveal themselves in that typography feels almost cinematic. H3 handles motion blur really well for this kind of editorial animation.
A part from the Landys promo I animated. The arc paints itself out of job photos, then collapses into the app feed.
Do you think that style matches the theme?
The way the arc paints itself out of the photos before collapsing into the feed has a nice build-up-and-release rhythm to it. Did you time that reveal to a specific beat in the audio, or was the pacing locked before sound came into the mix?
Today in the program, we have a color palette battle for the next video. The two color codes compete for the right to be replaced with regular white during the montage phase 😂🤣
