My name is Mark Webster and I’m currently residing with my family in Paris, France. I work as a freelance sound designer, documentary director and journalist. If that wasn’t enough, I also intermittently work as an assistant director in animation. This weblog is a dedicated journal on a specific area - motion design. What is motion design all about? Well, that is exactly the aim of this blog. My intention is to take up that rather long yet incredibly rewarding trail into the signs of a discipline that has a rich, albeit somehow blurry history, and to shed light on some of the past, present and hopefully future currents in this fascinating field of flux. Using myriad references and developing upon these with insightful reflection, I am opening up a means for exchange and thoughtful discussion on what I believe to be an increasingly important field in design. I do hope that you will pass by and add your thoughts as the real intention behind all this is to be able to share that knowledge and that it can serve a meaningful purpose. Happy blogging !

Hi Mark,
Your website is a delight. Thanks for the mention indeed.
I just started a new gig as a guest op-art columnist for the New York Times
website TIMESSELCT. I’m to make a film every month through Oct. The first one went up today. It’s a two and a half minute (two thousand painting) film called “L’eau Life”. I pasted the link below, but not sure if the comment format took it. It is an exciting new venue for me and the first film works pretty well I think.
Best!

A choreographer friend of mine is looking for a dvd or other copy of James Whitney’s ‘Lapis’ - any notions about where it could be found [we're in New York City].
many thanks & kudos on the great website.

Hello Mark,
I’m motion graphics design and I’ve created a DVD of 150 alpha transitions reproduced from originals used in American productions during the 30s.
The DVD has been developped for users of animation, DVD authoring and post-production applications and for those who wish to preserve a document testifying to the work of motion graphics pioneers.
I think that could interest your readers of the categories 1930/1940.

Thank you Mark !
