Lesson 15 – Motion Media
Motion Media
Is defined as a class of graphics that make use
of video and/or animation technology in a
way that ab illusion of motion or a
transforming appearance is created.
Earliest Motion Media Devices
Thaumatrope – a toy that was popular in
Victorian times. A disk or card with picture
on each side is attached to two pieces of
string.
Phenakistoscope – also spelled
phenakistiscope or phenakitiscope was an
early animatiom devices that used persistence
of vision principle to create an illusion of
motion.
Stroboscope – also known as a strobe is an
instrument used to make a cyclically, moving
object appear to be slow-moving, or
stationary.
Zoetrope – is a device that produces the
illusion of motion from a rapid succession of
static pictures.
Praxinoscope – was an animation device, the
successor to the zoetrope… like the zoetrope,
it used a strip of pictures placed around the
inner surface of a spinning cylinder.
Flipbook – flick book is a book with a series
of pictures that vary gradually from one page
to the next.
History
1800
There have been presentations that could be
classified as motion graphics as early as this
year.
1920
Michael Beatancourt wrote the first in depth
historical survey of the field
1060
One of the first uses of the term “motion
graphics, was by animator John Whitney
1955-1962
Saul Bass is a major pioneer in the
development of feature film title sequences.
His designs were simple, but effectively
communicated the mood of the film.

Motion Media is universal
Types of Motion Media
Motion Media is defined as a class of
graphics that make use of
1. Video and or
2. Animation technology in a way that
an illusion of motion or a
transforming appearance is created.
These motion is a graphics are usually
combined with audio for use in multimedia
projects.
1. Video – is an electronic medium for
the recording, copying, and
broadcasting of moving visual
images.
In filmmaking video production, footage is
the raw, unedited materials as it had been
originally filmed by movie camera or
recorded by a video camera which usually
must be edited to create a motion picture,
video clip, television show or similar
complete work.
Film – is the medium on which motion
pictures are fixed.
Motion picture – is a sequence of images of
moving objects photographed by a camera
and providing the optical illusion of
continuous movement when projected onto a
screen. Movies is slang for a motion picture.
Cinema – is from the French
cinematographe which comes in part from
the greek kinema, meaning movement
moving picture
-It also has cometo mean more generally the
process of film-making and also the building
where films are shown.
Theater – is similar to cinema, in that it can
mean the building, or more generally the
industry of live performance (i.e. plays,
musicals, etc.)

2. Animation – the process of creating a
continuous motion and shape change
illusion by means of the rapid display
of a sequence of static images that
minimally differ from each other, the
illusion – is a motion pictures in
general – is through to rely the
phenomenon.
 Animations can be stored or recorded
on either analogue media such as Flip
book, motion picture film, video tape,
on digital media
 Including formats such as animated
GIF (Graphic Interchange Format),
Flash animation or digital video.
 To display it, a digital camera, a
computer or projector are used
 Animation
 Animation creation methods include
the tradition animation, creation
method and those involving stop
motion animation of two and three-
dimensional objects, such as paper
cutouts, puppets and clay figures.
Animation Techniques
Creativity has no limits
There are various types of animation
techniques practiced by film makers all over
the world. Classical and digital 2D animation,
digital 3D animation, stop motion, clay
animation, cut-out animation, paint-on-glass
animation, draw-on-film animation, and
experimental animation are just a few among
the many existing forms of animation.
2D Animation – classical 2D animation is
also knows as hand-drawn 2D animation or
traditional animation.
Main Types of Motion Media
Video mediated lessons could provide better
understanding of the content and could also
improve the cognitive capacities of as student
since learning is mostly due to visual and
hearing.

Advantages of Motion Media
 Great way of demonstrating and
guiding step by step processes
 Flexible: pace (rewind, fast forward
and pause)
 Attractive
 Larger audience (large number of
students can be taught simultaneously
by one instructor)
 Larger number of hosts (outside
speakers can be involved who would
not otherwise be available
 Connection (students can be linked
with others from different
communities, backgrounds and
cultures)
 Attention Grabbing
 Skill Learning
 To be able to establish commonality
Disadvantages of Motion Media
 No student-teacher relationship
(questions can’t be asked)
 Expensive (supporting materials:
projector, laptops, computers)
 Time consuming
 Unpredicted problems (audio and
visual difficulties)
 Not flexible: style (teaching style and
strategies)
 Fixed pace (cannot be interrupted)
 Misinterpretation
 Time consuming (preparation of the
video takes time: production material
 Not interactive
Applications to Education
MIL FINALS
Lesson 15 – Motion Media A.Y. 22-23
These materials promote student centered
instructional approach. After viewing and
utilizing a material in the classroom, online,
or in a distance learning setting, students
create their own interpretation. Thus they dig
deeper into the content and understands the
topic more. Concepts are transferred to new
problem questions and the construction of
knowledge occurs. Thus students are
becoming more engaged in the learning
process.

Distant learning is a form of schooling that is

continuously emerging. Online seminars can
now be held through video conferences. The
effective since they are like seminars/ talks
only smaller which provides more room for
interaction.

Video conference eliminate/ reduce the

possibility of misunderstanding since these
provide opportunities for the input of the
facilitator or teachers opposed to that of video
only base learning (fixed). Video conferences
provide the opportunity for interaction.
