Below are a selection of motion studies done by past Motion 1 students (plus a few that I did) for your reference and contemplation. Though none are perfect, I think that they give you a sense of the pretty great things that students have been able to do with very simple shapes and animation. That said… DO NOT let these examples constrain you or dictate the direction you take with your own motion studies. Don’t feel like these are the only “right” ways to complete this project. You’re encouraged to develop your own unique pieces, and those may not (likely will not) look anything like these.
