Create Mood Boards for Motion Design

Great motion design doesn't spring fully formed from a designer's mind. There are many steps to the pre-production process. An early and critical step the mood board. To define your visual style we typically assemble a collage of images, video, colours and fonts that will evoke the style of a piece.

great video man not enough people talk about the actual design process its good to see more and more people finally talking about it. I always find this is the hardest part of animation process when you staring at a blank screen.

THANK YOU!!! I’m so unorganized! I find myself always wanting to skip to editing... but this’ll definitely help me focus on what I need to do.

Wow! I am trying it while watching this video, and I love it. The "#FFFF1F" part is just incredible! Thank you for your amazing video!

I really love this. I find this really helpful during my creative process. But whenever I am looking for inspiration outside of images I run into limitations. You seem not to have any issue with this at all. How do you go about finding animations or videos like you did in the tutorial?

[johnlim]

Hey Evan! What motion graphics/animation books would you recommend? Thanks for all your helpful tutorial man :)

I love this but I wish they have an app for ipads ...

I usually get carried away doing these kind of stuff before doing the actual project.
