Come on, come on -- let your body move to the music (move to the music).

VVC sure is creeping up, isn't it? I'm moderating a panel on motion this year (eep!), and am attempting to get things all put together. This is the description that's in the program:

An aesthetics panel on motion and movement, including approaches and techniques. At what point can we differentiate motion and movement used stylistically from that which is incorporated into the fabric of the narrative? We'll look at using smaller, unobtrusive movement to create continuity and unify a vid versus the use of larger 'impact' moment at musical or narrative crescendos, flowing movement versus the deliberately jarring, and creating internal rhythms as a compliment or counterpoint to music and storytelling.

Which I am starting to think might have been a bit optimistic for a 45 minute session. *G* So, guys, let's talk about motion! I'm synaesthetic with regards to music -- my senses are so awesome they couldn't be contained into neat little sense-boxes, so music itself has texture and movement to me -- which means I process vids a bit differently that some. I've got lots of things that are gradually drawing together, but it is not complete, and it makes me think about how much I love swirly-flowy motion vids.

So: What vids do you love with respect to motion and movement? Moments that took your breath away? Are there techniques or areas you think are of special interest?

I'm not a particularly motion-savvy vidder, but when it comes to my experience as a viewer, I like how humansrsuperior does things in that regard. (Example!) Also, millylicious. (Example!) I think both those example vids tie internal and external movement into the music in concrete and evocative ways, using the music to highlight bits of visual motion *and* using the visuals to highlight various interesting musical things, as well.

Oooh, both good. Milly is such a great example of someone who uses and creates internal/external and time-toggled motion. I'm not as familiar with humansrsuperior, so I shall certainly explore more.

*sigh*

I hate Milly and her awesome motion.

It's almost disgusting how good she is, isn't it?

*jealous*

Ahh, one of my favorite subjects!

Whee, motion! *twirls!* Hopefully everything shall come together as I envision.
