Chris & Trish Meyer
Chris & Trish Meyer are the founders of CyberMotion, an award-winning Los Angeles motion graphic design studio. Their design and animation work has appeared on shows and promos for CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, The Learning Channel, HBO, and PBS. CyberMotion was one of the first studios to create major release film opening titles using desktop tools (including major films such as The Taleneted Mr. Ripley), and they have also created promotional and trade show videos for corporate clients from Apple Computer to Xerox. They specialize in unusual format videos, having animated for IMAX, CircleVision, the NBC AstroVision sign in Times Square, and the four-block-long Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas. In addition to their motion graphics work, Trish and Chris have written the books "Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects" and "After Effects Apprentice" (both published by Focal Press). They have written numerous articles on motion graphics for DV magazine, Artbeats.com, and others, and have spoken at AFI, MacWorld, BDA, NAB, and other conferences. Trish founded CyberMotion after an extensive career in print as a magazine art director for music technology magazines. Her partner Chris, a refugee from the music industry, specializes in sound design and 3D work as well as dealing with multi-format technical issues. Both Trish and Chris have backgrounds as musicians, and a close relationship between sound and picture informs much of their work. They were one of the original beta sites for CoSA (now Adobe) After Effects, and continue to work with that team as well as others to this day.

Monday, January 19, 1998Playing Squash: Blobby Text Effect for NBCOn squishing icons, and approaching multimedia on a (physically) large scale.
Back in 1997 - still fairly early in our motion graphics career - one of our more enjoyable gigs was creating promotionals for NBC. These promos didn’t appear on television; they were destined for the Big Screen - namely, NBC’s huge AstroVision screen in Times Square. Rather than showing upcoming episodes of specific shows, they often took the form of puzzles, trivia, and other bits of information about their stars (see the sidebar “Multithreaded Information” for more musings on that subject). As a result, each clip usually took the form of a simple animation or site gag. Well, they look simple - some of them took a bit of thought to pull off. This is the story of one of those gags. more »Interactive • Motion Graphics • (0) Comments • • Permalink Page 1 of 1 pages |
