The ability to produce a representation of space both believable and potentially inhabitable is a goal of architectural and artistic representation. Utilizing motion graphics to create 3D space out of 2D moving imagery is our focus. We will demonstrate After Effects, a motion graphics program for video compositing, then explore how this program is used for parsing of spatial paradigms, from the sculptural, to the filmic and architectural. Next we will explore spatial paradigms thru a series of hands-on exercises. The third day combines these exercises to cohere a new spatial construct beyond the accumulation of each exercise. We conclude with presentations and analysis of the projects.

Nicole DiDio is an artist and motion graphics designer
