Institute motion open

This is an opening sequence for an institute, built as a field of contour lines moving across a dark blue surface with the organisation's mark set into the middle of it.

Framelink Media kept the motion slow and the palette to one colour. An academic body is not selling excitement, and a sequence that moves faster than the thing it introduces makes the piece behind it feel slower than it is.

The mark sits in the frame rather than on top of it, with the lines passing behind and around, which reads as a title made for this organisation instead of a logo dropped onto a stock loop.

The brightest part of the frame is where the mark is, so the eye arrives there without anything having to flash or fly in to fetch it. The sequence ends on the mark held still, which is the frame a title card is cut from.
