Motion Design Project
Objective
Demonstrate cross-disciplinary motion design ability by teaching a visual communication concept through a fully art-directed animated experience.
Approach
Built a narrative arc from concept → comprehension, using motion as the primary vehicle for meaning rather than static explanation.
Storyboarded the full sequence in Figma to lock the visual language and pacing before any production began.
Used Blender to construct and animate 3D objects, grounding abstract ideas in tactile, spatial form.
Layered 2D animation in After Effects and Illustrator to introduce graphic clarity and typographic rhythm alongside the 3D work.
Captured and edited voiceover in Ableton to ensure the audio track reinforced visual beats, not competed with them.
Unified all elements into a single cohesive piece where each tool's output served the story, not the other way around.
Design Principles
Intentionality, spatial storytelling, cross-medium cohesion, and conceptual clarity through motion.
Outcome
A self-directed motion piece that proves the ability to originate an idea, art direct across disciplines, and execute end-to-end — from storyboard to final render — using a professional multi-software pipeline.
