4.0 Is Under Way

We’re not just refreshing the site. We’re rethinking what Motionographer can be for artists, for studios, for the community that has made this place what it is.

Under Construction · Something Big in May

Twenty years ago, on April 2, 2006, a small website launched with a simple but radical idea: that Motion Design deserved its own stage. Its own language. Its own community.

That site was Motionographer.

Since then, we’ve celebrated thousands of artists, broken stories before anyone else, and built something we’re genuinely proud of: a home for the people who move the world.

Today, we want to share something we’ve been quietly building behind the scenes. And in May, we’re going to make some noise about it.

Here’s what’s already live.

New Feature

News: Cleaner, Faster

The news section on the homepage has been streamlined: cleaner, faster to scan, with a direct link to the full archive. Less noise, more signal.

Why Now?

Honestly? Because twenty years is a milestone worth honoring: not with a press release, but with action.

We’ve always believed that the best way to celebrate what Motionographer is, is to make Motionographer better. So that’s what we’re doing.

The team has been working hard across desktop, mobile, and tablet, making sure that whether you’re checking in from your phone on the subway or your studio monitor at 2am, Motionographer feels like the site you deserve.

This is just the beginning.

“The best way to celebrate what Motionographer is, is to make Motionographer better.”
