Turn your notes into an Apple style motion film

Motion Grammar

Turns your notes into a wordless, music-led motion film: one dot acts out every line, words fade in on the beat, and scenes change with shapes instead of cuts.

Planted, not buried: a 72 second film built with this skill. Turn the sound on.

The breakdown

  1. One idea on screen at a time. One sentence, or one number with one label. Never two lines fighting for the eye.
  2. One dot is the main character. It pops in, sinks, sprouts, splits into a crowd and pulls back together, acting out every line.
  3. Words fade in where they sit. About a sixth of a second apart, then they hold still long enough to read.
  4. Scenes change with shapes, not cuts. The dot pops, holds, then swallows the frame and becomes the next background.
  5. Light versus dark is the only color. The flip is saved for the turn of the story, where the biggest sound lands.
  6. Checked before it renders. A script finds any two lines on screen in the same spot, and a contact sheet catches the rest.

One idea at a time. One dot. Every move on the beat.

Most motion graphics throw everything on screen at once. This kit locks the grammar that makes minimal motion feel expensive: one sentence at a time, one main character that acts out every line, scene changes done with shapes instead of cuts, and every move on the music. Every timing, size and color in it was measured frame by frame.
