The FMX 2025 trailer "Dancing In Norms" (DIN) corresponds with the FMX 2025 theme RHYTHM OF CHANGE. A group of isolated creatures come together by dancing to a rhythm. 💃

“DIN” was Samuel Lewek's graduation project. "We motion designers, animators and VFX artists alway sit in front of computers", he states. 💻 "That was the impetus for me to deal with the standardization of movements. Animation has a lot to do with dancing, it's an extreme stylization of movements, you shape them aesthetically.”

He developed the movements with a dancer in a motion capture setup. “We were lucky enough to have the motion capture stage of the Animationsinstitut at Filmakademie at our disposal for a day", says the recent graduate of the Motion Design department. They also gave us a lot of technical support. Shoots like this are normally almost impossible to finance."

Motion Designers are jacks-of-all-trades. 🤖 "It's a very diverse interplay of design, music, editing, VFX and animation", says Samuel. "Art direction and abstract storytelling play a major role. We are generalists, we can do a bit of everything."
