Have you met Colin Hall yet? He’s our Senior Graphic-Multimedia Designer and he creates animation and motion graphics for digital media in addition to still art for print and digital media.
Colin loves how movement of images, however slight, can give an object personality and connect people to the art.
“With still images, once you establish the layout, colors and form, you’re all set; however, with animation, that’s just the beginning,” said Colin. “You have to consider how all of the animated objects operate over time, and how they interact as they move through space. I’m a movie buff, and I think I developed a sense of timing from movies to know when something needs to slow down to register properly or to speed up so you’re not wasting the viewer’s time.”
Colin’s love of movies is well-known around the Voom CreativeTM office, but he has a hard time pinning down a favorite movie. Sci-fi is a favorite genre with the movies “Arrival,” “Ex Machina” and “Her” his top picks in the category.
Our team at Voom loves that Colin is a jokester. He’s a self-described goofy person who doesn’t take himself too seriously. And he’s been known to a pull a few pranks in his day, like the time he put an entire living room together on his friend’s front lawn from free items he found on the street.
So, what drew Colin to Voom? “I like working with a small, tight-knit team where you can have a big impact, and Voom has that in spades. The fact they’ve been creating great work for clients in a wide variety of industries for years is the cherry on top.”
