Abstract

The parametric space exploration tools for motion designers and visual artists are still painful to use, so are the similar tools for other parametric designers and generative artists. The disparity between their tools and creation causes trivial trial and error process to find the right parameter combination. Besides, little customization support is provided to narrow and expand their parametric space during the exploration. My goal is to improve existing tools or create new ones to better support motion design process. In this paper, I present a new creativity support tool, Motion Palette, to facilitate motion exploration for visual artists specialized in dynamic visual effects design. Based on interviews of creative process in the first user study, I designed the tool and experimented with potential users in a second study. Results show Motion Palette works best with traditional exploration tools, e.g. sliders, outrating itself or sliders alone.
