Motionographer
Motion graphics are a way to communicate with the viewer, and add depth to the story. Together with music and effective copy, they can give us a message. We use them to create ads, title sequences for movies, [explainer](Put simply, motion graphics are animation, with text as a major component.)
Inspirational research: https://motionographer.com/
Motionographer.com is a great website recommended by Jason Martine. Interesting and inspiring work from different artists like "The Iceman" of Marc Eijkelenboom; "SEA" of Marharita Tsikhanovich with the amazing sound track and simplicity of the drawing that is enough to express her beautiful final work, winning the few awards with it; And Gabriel Tick, Johnny Cash “Farther Along” Official Music Video

Great for the free footages to help the work creation.
Investigating James bond title Sequences...
And memories of my past work
As i am investigating and researching James Bond Themed title sequences for my own assignment, I just remember that I worked as an actor and costume supervisor for a film production at the same set (in James Bond set in Ipswich) the tunnel used for James Bond titles sequence. Just found interesting to leave some pictures of the location where I was working at the time. Our film was not the best, unfortunately. But accessing my memories, help me to get inspired for my assignment 2.
