Greg Browning Expression Session transforms memory into motion. Built from 2.5 minutes of Greg Browning’s classic surf footage, more than 3,000 printed frames were opened to friends, family, and the local art community to draw, paint, and leave their mark. Each frame was then scanned back and reassembled into a collective animation, premiering as an installation at the close of the show inside the Vault. A deeply personal project shaped by many hands, honoring creativity, community, and a life that continues to move through shared memory. 🏆 Motion Awards Winner Interactive / Experiential » Installation / Experiential Studio: Dincaboutit Director: John DeTemple | Curator: Delia Cabral | Gallery: VEFA Gallery Featuring: Greg Browning | Logan DeTemple #MotionAwards #Motionographer #ExperientialDesign #InstallationArt #CollectiveAnimation

Labor of Love : How Breanna Lynn Turned Community, Trust, and Radical Belief into Drive It Like You Stole It Creative industries are built on rules. Budgets, gatekeepers, and long paths to trust. Automotive advertising is one of the most expensive verticals in the industry, and the path to directing one is rarely short. Breanna Lynn decided to challenge the math itself. At 26, the New York and Los Angeles based director set out to make an automotive commercial with no client, no agency, no brief, and no budget. What began as a bold idea turned into a year long production that brought together more than eighty people who believed in the project. The film, Drive It Like You Stole It, eventually shut down a small airport runway in New Jersey overnight, secured a Russian arm camera car that normally costs a small fortune, and recruited a stunt driver from the Fast and Furious franchise. The result looks and moves like the real thing because it is the real thing, minus the check. For Breanna, the project became proof of something she believes deeply. When you commit fully to an idea, people feel it. Her philosophy is what she calls radical freedom. The belief that no one can tell you what you can or cannot do, and that meaningful work rarely arrives with perfect timing or perfect resources. As she says, no idea is too big or too impractical. You do not need permission to pursue something meaningful. You just need the courage to start. Drive It Like You Stole It was directed and produced by Breanna Lynn, written by Breanna Lynn and Aathil Chaturvedi, with cinematography by Myles Caba, editing by Logan Triplett, sound design by Theo Rogers, color by Nick Daukas, and stunt coordination by Joey Bearse and Casey Rutherford.

MOUVO 2026: Exploring Space in Motion Design By Carlos El Asmar MOUVO returns for its 11th edition with a theme that feels cosmic and deeply human, Space. Not just outer space, although the opening night makes that metaphor irresistible, but space as perception, as possibility, as the physical and digital environments we design, inhabit, and constantly reshape. For the first time, the festival expands across two venues in Prague. March 26, the newly upgraded Prague Planetarium, featuring Julius Horsthuis, Kurzgesagt, and Lucas Gutierrez. March 27, CAMP, Center for Architecture and Metropolitan Planning, with a full-day program exploring how Motion Design is evolving across culture, tech, design systems, and storytelling. MOUVO has never been about chasing trends. It’s about curation, intimacy, and a community where the world’s leading creators share their process, their doubts, and then often share a beer with you afterwards.

Roots to Ruin confronts the cost of engineered perfection. Created as a student project at Ringling College of Art and Design, the piece explores the impact of genetically modified organisms through a dark, symbolic lens. Familiar innovations are reframed as part of a larger system that prioritizes control and efficiency, pushing natural systems toward collapse. A striking open-format work that uses motion, sound, and restraint to question where progress becomes peril. 🏆 Motion Awards Winner Student » Open Format Studio: Ringling College of Art and Design, Motion Design Design: Chaewon Kang | Animation: Diane Lee | Sound Design: Kelly Warner #MotionAwards #Motionographer #StudentWork #OpenFormat #EnvironmentalDesign

Keeping Visual Storytelling Alive: The Importance of the Concept Artist — Part 3 By Ashley Francis Concept Art doesn’t just “look cool.” It sells ideas, builds clarity, and turns imagination into something a full production team can actually execute. In Part 3 of Ashley Francis’ series, we zoom in on the realities behind the work, balancing creativity with design constraints, expanding skill expectations (including 3D), breaking through the noise, and navigating the pressure AI is adding to already compressed timelines. Featuring sharp insights from Eduardo Peña, Léa Pinto, and David Palumbo, this is a grounded look at what Concept Artists are being asked to carry, and why protecting the artist’s voice matters more than ever.

The Price of Money turns abstraction into understanding. Created for Bloomberg, the piece tackles a theoretical subject by building a graphic language from simple shapes, using circles, asterisks, squares, and ovals as stand-ins for the forces that influence the price of money. Paired with 70s and 80s archival footage, the motion system humanizes a story rooted in math, making complex ideas accessible regardless of financial literacy. A thoughtful example of design serving clarity first. 🏆 Motion Awards Winner News » Graphic Package Studio: Bloomberg Motion Graphics: Crisscross Studio Creative Director: Rubab Shakir | Designer: Alex Sears Editor: Christian McIlveen Executive Producers: Neville Gillett, Alex Gittleson, Andrew J.

STUDIO STORIES: VERSUS, The Studio That Refused to Become “Good Enough” This is the first STUDIO STORIES written entirely from an in-person visit. I spent hours inside the VERSUS studio in New York, recording conversations with seven people across every level of the company. And what I walked away with wasn’t a profile of a studio. It was a thesis. What happens when a creative company decides the people matter as much as the pixels? VERSUS didn’t build a brand, they built a standard. Not “good enough.” Not fast for the sake of fast. Not loud for the sake of loud. Human. Intentional. Excellent. A burner phone origin story, a triangle leadership model that sharpens ideas before they reach clients, producers in the trenches, operations as the culture’s immune system, hospitality as a creative strategy, and an AI philosophy that protects the source of the idea, not just the output. In an era obsessed with automation, they made a choir. In an industry chasing “good enough,” they chose heavy, expensive, human.

Photons in Time traces science through typography. Created by Evan Eggers, the piece translates a Neil deGrasse Tyson talk on photons and time into a dynamic typographic journey. Drawing inspiration from 1960s science textbooks, the work embraces Helvetica, geometric abstraction, and intentional distressing to evoke the tactile feel of aged educational materials. A thoughtful blend of motion, nostalgia, and information design that turns physics into a visual experience. 🏆 Motion Awards Winner Student » Infographic Studio: Savannah College of Art and Design Designer and Animator: Evan Eggers #MotionAwards #Motionographer #StudentWork #Typography #InfographicDesign #MotionDesign

NIKE SuperRep Go3 Flyknit | NEKHODA™ A dynamic product film for the NIKE SuperRep Go 3 Flyknit, directed by CGI director Roman Nekhoda and his studio NEKHODA™. Built from a single physical sample and a one-month timeline, the film centers on the tactile signature of Nike’s Flyknit, turning material into narrative. A dark CrossFit studio atmosphere meets sleek tech gradients, while photoreal sculpting and texturing from a 3D scan spotlight the SuperRep’s curves, contours, and silhouette. Houdini drives the fluidity, with a library of simulations developed under Nekhoda’s direction. A custom shader system brings the knit to life with hyper-real detail, and Vellum plus FEM tests push macro-level sole compression that feels engineered and alive. Finished with dynamic typography and UI elements built in After Effects, the spot lands as a fusion of precision and sensation, made for social, TV, and retail networks. Produced by AMAZING RED, and distributed at scale in line with Nike’s high-performing campaigns.

Two Parties breaks down how structure shapes choice. Created for Vox, the project uses motion graphics and animated infographics to explain how the winner-take-all voting system drives the United States into a two-party reality. Through clear visual metaphors, restrained animation, and careful design decisions, the piece turns political math into something legible, showing how power is distributed and why polarization persists. A reminder that sometimes clarity comes not from adding motion, but from knowing when to pull it back. 🏆 Motion Awards Winner Infographics » Social Good Studio: Vox Producer and Editor: Adam Freelander | Designer and Animator: Lucas Mariano | Researcher: Melissa Hirsch | Story Editor: Bridgett Henwood | Art Director: Joey Sendaydiego | Executive Producers: Bridgett Henwood, Cath Spangler #MotionAwards #Motionographer #Infographics #SocialGood #ExplainerDesign #InformationDesign
