PREFACE

The beginning of motion graphics runs parallel with the history of cinema.
And the birth of both was multiple exposure photography and the “ zoetrope “.

Motion capture ( MOCAP ) is a widely used process for calculating movement. But it can also be used to explore motion and animation ( motion graphics ) through a non time based delivery medium such as still images.

In this project we will explore motion and animation through the multiple exposure, or multiple imaging techniques. In any given environment or situation still motion graphics can reveal a hidden world of possibilities and beauty not visible to the naked eye.
