Motion Design

Design what changes in the viewer's experience over time. Let movement, stillness, composition, and sound express that change.

Use this skill as a cognitive architecture for creative decisions. Keep implementation details in the current Editframe composition skill.

The reasoning loop

Connect five decisions:

• Intent: What experience does the work create?
• Visual logic: What relationships make that experience visible?
• Temporal structure: How do those relationships develop over time?
• Attention: What does the viewer notice, anticipate, and retain?
• Evaluation: What does viewing reveal about the concept?

Move between these decisions as evidence demands. A weak transition can expose a weak visual relationship or an unclear premise.

Keep the reasoning proportional to the task. A small title treatment needs fewer decisions than a full film.
