Red Orchid Productions offers the design and creation of almost any kind of “motion graphics“ we are a small studio based out of Kearney, Nebraska and service the areas of Grand Island, Hastings, Lincoln, Omaha and beyond:)
What are Motion Graphics?
Motion graphics are graphics that use video footage and/or animation technology to create the illusion of motion or rotation, graphics are usually combined with audio for use in multimedia projects. -Wikipedia
Ah, well that is helpful isn’t it? Technically it is true that what Motion Graphics consist of is, moving graphics over time to creative the illusion of motion. And it is true that this is generally done in combination with video or music. But this doesn’t get to the why or how at all… and if you know us at all you know we love to ask the question “why?”
Why Create Motion Graphics?
Because they are cool.
I am only half joking :) Motion Graphics when used to help convey a message help hold attention and try to solidify the value of the message in this noisy and “message full” world.
This is a matter of knowing how the message is perceived in the context of the project and in the context of the medium it is delivered in. It may mean adding motion to elements or it may mean pinning them in place as motion happens around them. It can use 2d graphics or full 3d renders.
But what makes Motion Graphics good or bad, I think, is directly related to how well they add to the purpose of the art or message.
