Bumpers, Stop-Motion and Daisy Fuentes from 90s MTV

This is the brilliance that made me want to get into video and art, and video mixed with art - as we now call motion graphics.

I'll start with a clip of, what I considered at the age of 13, the best MTV Bumper in the Live Action Category.

A classic series of MTV Shorts, including Joe's Apartment at the 5:30 mark. Singing roaches and first dates.

Gnarly. So, let's sign off on a positive note with Miss Daisy Fuentes (another best from MTV, but in a 13-year-old-queezy-stomach way), who tells us about an opportunity she has for us to embrace.

Google's Material Design Documentation

I’ve noticed in the most recent updates to mobile operating systems that motion graphics has been a big focus. Maybe I’m just paying attention to those things given my interests, but in Apples launch of iOS 7 there were a ton of new animations to help the user keep a sense of orientation to where they are going and where they are headed. Google recently released a style guide entitled Material Design, with an entire section dedicated to animation, focused on helping developers and designers create better experiences. There are even links to code for developers to quickly solve for these desired additions.
