This is my completed video piece for this first assignment in Motion Graphics. I used the De Stijl movement as my style of inspiration. I like the simpleness of geometry and what you are able to do with it. I enjoy using shapes and lines with varying levels of opacity to feel like I am creating a separate dimension within the composition. Since this is my first time using after effects I figured it would be a nice transitioning way to get to know the tools by seeing what all I can do with just individual shapes and lines. I feel like in the De Stijl paintings, you can feel the character each shape and line possess, so here in my motion graphic version of De Stijl I decided to bring that idea to live and give each shape and line a feeling of their own that we can actually see. The second half of my piece is probably my favorite, I really liked how I had the shapes behind the lines and then switched them to in front of the lines while they were rotating to their new locations on screen, and then after that the shapes scale down and disappear while the lines grow and disappear, then eventually lead the composition to a place where a loop can occur. As for my intended audience of this piece, it would have to be anyone interested in the De Stijl movement or anyone getting to know the beginning basics of after effects. Lastly just to note a few of the principles I used, they would include: squash and stretch, secondary motion, and ease in/ outs as well as other characterizations with the graph and speed.
