How Bovy Turned 'Vending Machine' into a Motion Masterpiece
At ORIGINS Studios, every project is a chance to show what happens when vision meets skill — and 'Vending Machine' is one of our proudest examples. In just one week, our motion artist Bovy transformed a simple concept into a visually stunning animation that's as entertaining as it is technically impressive.

A Creative Vision, Perfectly Executed

From the start, Bovy knew Vending Machine could be more than a motion project — it could be a story told through movement, timing, and design. He built every sequence to guide the viewer's eye, using playful transitions, smooth motion reveals, and dynamic pacing to keep the animation alive from start to finish.

What sets this project apart isn't just the technical execution, but the thoughtful narrative structure. Each element of the vending machine comes to life with purpose, creating a cohesive experience that feels both whimsical and professional.

The project demonstrates ORIGINS' philosophy: every creative decision should serve both aesthetic beauty and functional storytelling.

The Tools Behind the Magic

Bovy's workflow combined artistry with technical precision, leveraging industry-standard tools to bring his vision to life:

Ae

Adobe After Effects

The primary workspace where layers came to life, enhanced with advanced plugins for unique visual effects. Bovy utilized complex keyframe animations, motion blur, and sophisticated timing curves to achieve the smooth, professional feel.

Ai

Adobe Illustrator

The backbone for crisp, scalable vector designs that fed perfectly into the animation pipeline. Every element was crafted with precision, ensuring clean scaling and smooth integration into After Effects.

Technical Insight

The result was a collection of fancy animations that feel polished, seamless, and full of personality. Each transition was carefully crafted to maintain visual continuity while adding delightful surprises.

Professionalism on a Deadline

7 Days - From concept to final export

Here's what makes this project even more impressive: Bovy delivered the entire production in just one week — from initial concept development to final export. This wasn't a rush job that sacrificed quality for speed; it was a masterclass in efficient creative workflow.

The Motion Design Process: From Concept to Completion

Understanding how we approach motion design projects can help you see the value in our methodology. Here's how the Vending Machine project unfolded:

1

Conceptualization & Storyboarding

We start by understanding the core message and target audience. For the vending machine, we mapped out each interaction and transition to create a cohesive narrative flow.

2

Design & Asset Creation

Every visual element is crafted with animation in mind. We design for scalability, ensuring crisp visuals at any size while maintaining animation-friendly structures.

3

Animation & Timing

This is where the magic happens. We carefully choreograph each movement, considering easing curves, anticipation, and follow-through to create natural, engaging motion.

4

Refinement & Polish

Multiple review cycles ensure every detail meets our standards. We fine-tune timing, adjust colors, and perfect transitions until the animation feels effortless.
