CoMotion 2022 Title Sequence

CoMotion 2022

Project description
CoMotion is an annual student-led motion graphics conference at the Savannah College of Art and Design. The 2022 event was another virtual one due to the pandemic and COVID restrictions, and everything was hosted through the YouTube livestream. My primary involvement was to animate the logo and lead a team of 8 animators to produce the event title sequence and the student showcase title cards.

Concept
2.5D is centered around the idea of 2.5 dimensional space. This design language embodies the essence of motion graphics through its fluid and flexible nature. Within this boundless space, we were able to reflect upon our innovative and experimental field that keeps pushing us to evolve. Join us to embrace and celebrate the limitless possibilities of what we can achieve with Motion Media.

Strategy
In order to align the creative direction and be consistent with in production, I wrote and prepared animation guidelines on Notion, build custom animation preset for text animation to be used for title cards and graphic design team’s social media deliverables. In addition, I also develop animation rigs for other animators to tackle complex shots in my absence.
