3D Motion Design

Deadline is a two-minute short film that depicts a freelance motion graphics artist's race against time to meet a critical deadline for a demanding client. The process of the character creating motion design work is visualized by abstract shapes, forms and movements.

The desktop scene plays with shapes, volumes and stylized shaders. It is all about making contrast and balance.

Rendering

The flying paper represents the rendered sequence. I added a folder, pins, and paper clips to the scene to bring a real-life experience to the creative process in 3D software.

The moving primitives stands for the motion design process. It is all about one movement triggering another.

Coloring

When creating a color design, it is excited to blend different colors together to get the color palette just right.
