If you’re into motion graphics at all, you’re surely familiar with the work of Jake Sargent. From Digital Kitchen, to Motion Theory, this guys has been defining the edge of motion graphics for years now. He’s got a new site up that’s definitely worth a look.
StarDust
Star Dust is one of the finest motion graphics firms working today. This is not ‘three edits + a plugin’ kind of work. Each piece in their portfolio is thoughtful, beautiful and utterly engaging. If these guys were to teach a class, I’d be the first one to sign up. They have a new reel up. It’s awesome. Watch it.

Watch this short psa about the effects of spilled oil. Produced by vfx crew MAKE. This is good art people.
Black Day To Freedom
Please Watch this film. It’s a fictional piece about displaced peoples. It’s beautiful. It’s one-of-a-kind. I’m gushing, I apologize. I guarantee you’ve never seen anything quite like this. I also guarantee that it’ll effect you. Please watch it. Made by motion graphics guru The Ronin.
Boring Company - Beautiful Commercial
Motion graphics company Dstrukt accomplished one of the most gratifying of design tasks. Taking a relatively bland, boring company project and making something unexpected and beautiful. This promo piece for the Grow Network is so interesting. Check out the Grow Network. They do educational assessment and teaching products. Check their website really quick and come back… I’ll wait. Now watch this promo piece.(It’s called PSST! 2). Awesome.
SuperFad is super slo-mo
It’s a huge image. I know. But I was awestruck by this promo produced by motion graphics gurus Superfad. A piece produced for Phantom high speed HD cameras, it is compelling and beautiful. A loose narrative binds the honey drenched imagery ( I’m sure only capable on a Phantom camera). It is incredibly impactful. This demonstrates what commercials could be. A project for a high speed camera could only be shot this slow. Punch it up. Get some popcorn. Drink it all in.
