WE ARE MOTION EXPERTS! FACT
TOM AND LILLY
WHAT IS MOTION…..
Motion lets you create sophisticated moving images and other
visual effects on the fly and in real time. Simply drag one of
Motion’s built-in behaviours (such as Spin or Throw) or filters
(such as Glow or Strobe) onto an object in the Canvas and
watch your clip be made. We have used motion for our social
networks animation clip when our voice of god talks about how
many people use social networks. The animation is used to
support the Voice of God which is conventional for
documentaries.
PROJECT PANE
The Project pane can appear on either the left or right side of
the Canvas window and can be hidden to maximize the Canvas
working area. The Project pane contains three tabs that allowed
us to see and manipulate the contents of the current project in a
variety of ways.
We used the project Plane when creating our animation all the
time as we had to move different images around in order to get
our animation to make sense. We couldn’t have an image of
Facebook when our voice over was talking about twitter.
TOOLBAR
The Toolbar contains controls to create and edit elements
in our project, such as text, shapes, and masks. There are
also icons to apply filters and behaviours, to create particle
systems and replicators, and to show and hide the various
windows and panes of the Motion interface.
We used the toolbar all the time when we had to put a
mask over each of our images so they could be seen and
also when we put our space like background in.
CANVAS
The Canvas is the main work area of the interface,
where we can view and manipulate elements, as well
as control playback of our project. The Canvas also
contains the Status bar and the project view options.
Obviously we had to keep watching our animation
back to see if the timings were right and to see if it
worked so this is when we used the canvas.
UTILITY WINDOW
The utility window includes the Preview area, File
Browser, Library, and the Inspector. This basically
allowed us to take the images from the internet such
as the Facebook logo and put them into motion. It is
a little like exporting on final cut. This then allowed
us to put them onto our project pane to play around
with them and edit them.
TIMING PANE
The Timing pane appears at the bottom of the Canvas window
and can be hidden to maximize the Canvas working area. The
Timing pane contains three tabs that allow you to see and
manipulate different aspects of the current project with an
emphasis on how they are arranged in time.
This is a little bit like a timeline on final cut as it is where your
clips will go to be editing and it is where you can drag your play
head over to get the correct bit of clip which you want.
HERE ARE A SERIES OF STILLS OF MY
MOTION ANIMATION COMING TOGETHER
