Best of the Year
Best Animation, Video & Motion of 2017
The animation, video and motion that won a GDUSA award in 2017, each with the firm and the designers credited.
10 award-winning projects
Motion is how a brand behaves on a screen, and screens are where most of its audience now meets it. The designer works in time as well as space, deciding what enters the frame and how long an idea holds before the cut, and the discipline is in what gets left out. The pieces that win here make one point per second and look composed at every frozen frame. Maverick Studios' SONIC Unicorn Dream Slush spot and Equinix's in-house social animations both took full pages for exactly that economy. The best motion designers in the awards are shown here. Open any project to watch the work and read how it was made.
