Animation Inspiration

05.08.2017 by Hayley Rollason //

AnimationInspiration480

Following a recent Instagram Story looking at resources for where to find animation inspiration, I figured I’d put together a blog post listing the resources and some notes about how they are helpful. This is a live post and grow as we look at more inspiration resources.

  • Vimeo in general
    • An incredible collection of work, it is very easy to find inspiration for a wide range of creative styles.
    • Check out the categories and subcategories to narrow down what you are looking for as it can be overwhelming the amount of talent that exists on Vimeo
    • There is a lot of art and commercial work on here which means you will almost definitely find something you like
  • Dribbble in general
    • A hub for designers and animators to display their work
    • Look for shots labeled “gif” to see some motion
    • Any moving shots on here will be very short form
    • Given account access to this site is curated and invite-only the quality if outstanding
  • Instagram hashtag
    • Follow me 🙂
    • Since raising the video limit to 1 min this has been an incredible tool for animators and motion deisgners to showcase work and therefore a stellar resource for inspiration
    • Given the open and wide reach of instagram it also means there is some searching through to find the REALLY good stuff
    • Some hashtag recomendations include:
      • #mograph – Standing for MO-tion GRAPH-ics, this is much more of an industry term and therefore tends to be professionals showcasing their work. It has a great mix of 3D, 2D, character and experimental work
      • #motiongraphics – This is a bit busier of a hashtag but also full of gems. There will be overlap with the mograph hashtag.
      • #animation – This one is a total mixed bag, its busy and messy, with some posts that are completely unrelated being tagged. However, the term animation can bring out different styles of work to those under #mograph and #motiongraphics.

Day 10 – Spin Down

01.31.2017 by Hayley Rollason //

I made it! Day 10!!! What’s 15 x 10? That is how many minutes I have spent on this #15minmograph challenge.

This week Ryan Plummer (the originator of the challenge) suggested focussing on patterns, so I did. I only had 10 mins realistically today so I kept it simple and tried to build the pattern on it a way that draws the down the image, by offsetting and cascading the motion. It is simple and clean but I like it.

Day 9 – Offset Trap

01.30.2017 by Hayley Rollason //

This time I was inspired by fellow members of the School of Motion Alumni group. At this stage, 3 members have tackled the offset stroke look for their #15minmograph submissions and it works so well. With little effort, you can stylise your design and amp up your follow-through animation.

On top of that, it was nice to get back to bounces and then, inspired by the fact that the last few submissions have ignored the resolution restriction, I played with the space itself, the barriers of the 1000×1000 square forming the barriers of the trap.
