Your Daily Motion Graphics InspirationStunning dynamic text tribute to Conan O’Brien’s farewell speech
We’ve all seen these fantastic “dynamic text” videos, that use animated text, generally cleanly laid out on a simple background, to convey information-dense concepts. For corporate video producers, it’s a good way to deal with the common situation when a client essentially requests what I call Video Powerpoint…that is, when the client demands a lot of text on screen, and isn’t creative enough to explore telling the story in other ways. more »

You can manipulate still images, or generate smoke, fire and other fluid effects using just your fingers and the multitouch interface. Is this the future of motion graphics interfaces? Demo video embedded below. more »Strange mix of high & low tech in The Mill’s “Apples”iPhone + custom tracking rig + CGI = subway apples
Since the iPhone 3GS came out with video recording features, a small subset of people have been pushing the limits of what is the accepted norm and using the device in actual production work. When the 3GS came out, Alex Lindsay put out a humorous video in which he attached the phone to a full Redrock Micro shouldermount stabilization rig. We all had a good laugh, and then suddenly Zacuto and others started making professional grade accessories for the device. There are handheld rigs with wide lenses, and even an iPhone stabilizer in the works. For the most part, iPhone video seems to be limited to quick and dirty video blogging, and the occasional music video.
