Equs: Motion Studies for Transitional States

Equs: Motion Studies for Transitional States
This series of motion graphics was developed as an exploratory study for the Equs mobile application, focusing on how simple animation can support clarity and engagement during moments of waiting, such as loading states, confirmations, and content rendering. The project was not pursued as a continuous product effort, but rather as a focused experiment designed to test ideas, timing, and animation technique within a mobile context.
The animations emphasize minimal movement and reduced visual complexity, allowing motion to guide attention without overwhelming the user. Each study explored rhythm, pacing, and repetition to transform necessary pauses into moments of feedback and reassurance while preserving a sense of playfulness. Designed for small screens and brief interaction windows, the work examined how subtle animation choices can shape perception and emotional response.

Positioned as a research driven exercise, this project treats motion design as inquiry rather than ornament. By working within constraint and experimentation, the studies allowed me to stretch my technical animation skills while investigating how motion can reduce friction, communicate status, and contribute to a more humane mobile experience.
