“Motion Graphics” encompasses a large extent of the way we communicate today. It translates, influences and ultimately creates an ever-growing part of our shared reality. That makes it pretty powerful. – Yet the term itself seems curiously vague. What actually is “Motion Graphics”? What “makes it tick” and who are the people creating so much of the vocabulary in our cultural discourse today?
It is also true that especially in the last decade, New York has become a bustling center of Motion Graphics. Why is it that an industry whose product seems so engaged in a virtual existence, still develops such a physical concentration in a geographic location?
In “New York in Motion” Director/producer Graham Elliott reached out to the people behind the screens and scenes that surround us. He interviewed more than 50 of the most influential players in the field and met a diverse group of fascinating individuals and collectives on an exciting journey: Tuned into the ever-changing state of the art of technology, yet more importantly keeping a finger on the pulse of our shared sensibilities, their work both mirrors and transforms our personal and cultural awareness. Though, constantly pushing the boundaries, their drive, talent, insight and creativity proves as inspiring as the work itself. Experience some of the essence behind the power of this exciting medium and tap into the incredible energy that infuses this city and this industry, Motion Graphics.
