Notion fan-video
Hello! My name is Nurbolat and I am an aspiring motion designer. Here I am going to tell you how I decided to make a fan video about Notion - the best app.
Idea
It all started when I saw this video.
After watching it, I wanted to learn to make these videos like this so much. I started studying motion design and it was very difficult. As soon as I got the skills, I decided to dedicate the first video to Notion, because I use this app and I think it deserves more attention.
Art direction
When the concept of the video was invented, I started preparing. First of all, I decided to chat with Notion users to find out why they love it and what they would like to see in my video.
Almost everyone I chatted with turned out to be nice and open people, they wanted to help me, and I am grateful to them.
Therefore, it became clear why people love Notion.
- universality
- community
- minimalistic design
- customization
- convenient templates
I wanted to reveal all this in my video.
Next is the mood board.
Then I decided to collect everything that I liked and how I wanted to see the future video. The colors are mostly light, the design is minimalistic but with bright accents.
Surely, Notion has a black and white palette, but they also use pastel colors for details.
Everything is ready for blocking.
Blocking
At this stage I create video sketches. Simple shapes are used, no details. All of this is needed to understand how interesting the video will look in dynamics. I collect the first frames, which I will improve in the future: adding light, textures, details and more.
Thanks for your attention! This article will be expanded and soon you will see the finished video here. I would be glad if you shared your opinion.
