4 Tips for Generating Ideas in Motion Design

In this tutorial I'll give you my 4 tips for generating ideas in Motion Design, using a collage style animation I created as a case study. This is process based, as in a practical methods to generate ideas while you're working, not creativity in a general, holistic sense (maybe one for a future tutorial).
Oh, and just in case you haven't seen the film, *Spoilers for the film Psycho (1960)*.
This isn't a step by step tutorial, but you can view the whole workflow for the animation, which includes trial and error and things I abandoned, in two parts on my sister channel The Video Shop Long Play:

    One of the only problems with your channel is that you didn't start it sooner, so there isn't a massive playlist yet of awesome content for me to binge while I procrastinate on the projects I'm supposed to be working on. Interesting, informative, and engaging. Great work man.

    Love seeing this process, it was always puzzling to me how some people thought of adding random shapes or weird effects... It really seems to make sense but without an idea of the process you would never know really how the end result came to be. Thanks for this!

    thanks for the good tips. i always find myself lost whenever im about to start a new project and i totally get it that you need to let the idea brew rather than trying to force it, its like trying to bake a cake but in 5 minutes instead of 30, the math might work but in reality you will burn the cake. a problem that happens to alot of designers such as myself who work for small studios whom give out lots of project but not the time to think about em.

    Enjoyed this one! Really liked the slice/dice stairway to the house animation: creative, simple, powerful, ominous. Also liked how your eye is drawn to and recognizes overarching shapes (lines, circles). The face transplant animation was a good idea, too: snappy and it directed the eye well. Finally, regarding Brew: totally agree. I try to have at least three projects overlapping. Work on A, let it brew while I work on B. It develops individual style (you’re thinking about the prev project a little, while working on the current, giving them some cohesion); and you increase the likelihood of happy accidents. Cheers!
