This is the web site for Motion Graphics. This semester we'll be using Apple's Motion software for teaching in this unit. Motion is essentially equivalent to Adobe's After Effects. Below is a list of resources to support the unit. Unit updates are supplied via Twitter. If you create an account there you can have these updates sent to your mobile. Links are maintained using del.icio.us. If you come across any web sites that you find useful and you have a del.icio.us account, then you can add to the list by adding the tag "uc7887" to the link.
The Motion Graphics unit convenor is Dr Sam Hinton. Mr Brett Butler is tutoring in the unit.
