 A simple but thoroughly engaging book June 19, 2000
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
This is a great sourcebook and inspirational tool for any designer of motion graphics who, like myself, enjoys dissecting this type of work frame by frame, but rarely catches the opportunity. A treasure trove of new or heard-about-but-never-seen pieces by designers both familiar and foreign to me, this book is an important archive of a field whose medium is comprised of altogether too-fleeting or unaccessible work. The design and graphics in commercials, videos, network interstitials, and showreels are not mere adornment or ancillary; they construct and enframe our visual experience or the medium itself. The book is designed well, and really lets you examine the pieces (which are reproduced gorgeously) in detail sequentially , rather than just relying on a frame or two. Just one problem: where's the CD-ROM, so we can enjoy the pieces with our finger *off* the pause button?
 Good overview of the latest in motion graphics May 26, 2000

Pause is the latest addition to the growing genre of books focusing on motion graphics and it does a good job. There is little text here, well-written introductions to categories into which the authors have contextualized the work. You won't find a detailed analysis of the process behind each work. However, this format does allow the visual imagery to speak for itself. Without being overly designed, the book celebrates the concentrated energy and beauty contained in every frame of kinetic motion graphics. It will likely draw comparisons to such works as Type in Motion, but Pause seems intended to be more of an inspirational resource, than a design technique book. The entire book itself is a metaphor of watching a tape of motion graphics. Flipping through and stopping to reflect on a single image. You just wish you could see more. Recommended if you're looking for the most current survey of motion graphics, but not the most definitive book ever about the subject. Check it out in a book store before you buy.

A well-written and graphically documented work on the art of communication design for broadcast and film. There are excellent descriptions of the works, the photographs are of the highest quality and taste. I believe this book should be owned by every student of graphic design, every graphic designer and any person involved with graphic design issues in marketing products.
