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.
