PRINT IN MOTION is Print magazine's new
competition dedicated to motion graphics. All winning entries will be
featured on our website and receive a special mention in an issue of
Print.
The winners for this year's competition are available in the June issue of Print.
Film Titles
Commercial Spot
Music Video
As far as titles go, “Print in Motion” sums up our newest competition pretty well.
Print has covered broadcast design since the invention of the television, and now the explosion of interest in motion graphics has placed more and more work in the public eye—sites like Motionographer and online magazines such as Boards showcase hundreds of motion designers every month, while Vimeo and YouTube have dedicated animation channels that are updated with new work nearly every hour of the day.
We approached the competition with the understanding that Print’s mission extends into the digital graphics industry, and a motion graphics competition that could live online—from submission to eventual display—would serve a community eager to spot burgeoning leaders in the field. The competition was divided into five categories: film titles, advertising/commercial, music video, show package, and noncommercial/animation.
To select the winners, we asked Grammy-winning music video and Motion Theory director Mark Kudsi, along with Phil Pinto, a filmmaker who created the promotional video for the competition, to judge the entries.
BIOS
As a director and senior art director at Motion Theory,
Mark Kudsi’s wide-ranging experience in different media has helped him create an inspired array of work—from live-action and integrated VFX commercials to full animation and design-oriented projects. His work has been recognized by numerous publications and organizations including the Art Directors Club, the AICP, and the Grammy Foundation.
Phil Pinto is a New York–based filmmaker and art director. Through his studio, he has worked with clients such as Good, Incase, MTV, Nike, New York and Vogue. Most recently, he has been working on music videos and making a photography and design zine. He drinks his coffee black.
Congratulations to all of our winners, and thanks to everyone who submitted. Stay tuned for deadlines and guidelines for next competition.
