# Motion graphics

Make the piece a top motion studio would put in its reel: an idea for this subject, designed and moved with intent,
that makes people understand it or want it. Surprise us; the expected version is not the goal.

## What has to be true

- **It belongs to this subject.** The idea, the pictures and the motion come from what it is about; nothing in it could
  be moved into another company's film.
- **The person's facts and brand.** Every number, name, quote and claim as they gave it, none made up; a chart's shapes
  match its values, with units and where the data comes from; when there is a voice, the picture shows what it says as
  it says it. Their logo, colors and type are used as given, never redrawn.
- **It holds up next to the best motion work you know.** Watch the whole film as a viewer would, and keep refining until
  it does.
- **It stays editable**: the person can change any word or number later.

## What you have

Anything you can make pictures and motion with: the web platform and any library on it, Blender or any renderer whose
output becomes a clip, the person's footage, photos and data, any font whose license allows it, images, video, music and
sound from `npx openfilm get`, your own built-in tools, and services the person has keys for. OpenFilm's own rules
still hold: the picture at t depends on t alone, a page has no sound, and what you render elsewhere enters as a clip
under `assets/` with the script that made it. Ask before downloading anything large onto the person's computer.

## With the person

What they ask for comes before anything here. What it is about, who it is for, where it will be shown, and their
material: a logo, colors, product shots, data, a script. Ask without holding up the work. When done, tell them in a few
lines the idea and why it fits, where every number came from, and what of theirs would make it better.
