Three Easy Pieces - New Assignment

It's the start of a new, academic year and I've been set a new assignment named, Three Easy Pieces.

In this assignment I'll be exploring the key principles of motion design and will need to produce three pieces of animation, which illustrate or demonstrate a range of these animation principles.

Some these principles are listed below:

Timing

Speed of Change

Arcs

Motion blur

Squash and Stretch

Motivation/Anticipation

Follow Through

Overlapping Action

Staging/Exaggeration

Each animation should between 15 and 20 seconds in length and will consist of animated shapes rather than complex objects or characters. It can feature a soundtrack.

Each animation element will be drawn in Illustrator and then animated in After Effects. The final animations will be exported as full quality QuickTime .movs.
