Motion design has a much broader scope than just conveying information on specialist topics, however. Depending on the graphic design, the type of animation, the combination of moving graphics with music, language or typography, motion design achieves a wide variety of effects, from purely factual to highly emotional.
Motion design often invites you to embark on an exciting virtual journey with very simple-looking images, as shown by the extremely expressive Apple Motion Graphics.

How does motion design work?
Motion design is a special type of animation that has only become possible through the advancement of digital technologies. This is because, in order to give the graphics and typography developed on the computer harmoniously looking movement sequences, a correspondingly high computing power is required. Charly Adams achieved the first computer animation in 1949.
He developed a program that could calculate and display the movement of a bouncing ball in real time. This first digital solution was the birth of computer animation. However, several decades passed before motion design and the development of increasingly powerful software solutions to create modern motion graphics.
What the script is for the camera team on location, the style frames in the form of static illustrations are for motion designers. The designers use these templates to produce the motion graphics required for the video production in Vienna.

Motion designers work closely with a large part of the creative team involved in the video production. Since information from a wide variety of areas is required again and again, organizational talent is also required.
Once the motion graphic is ready, it is supplemented with the preliminary sound design or a narrator’s voice. Now tact is required. Every movement of the numerous elements must be exactly in time with the music or the spoken information. Particularly complex motion graphics contain hundreds of moving elements that are coordinated as part of this keyframing process.
