After the social collapse: Making-of Tom Clancy’s The Division
the "Best Motion Design" category was added to the animago AWARD in 2016. At the time, it was important to the animago team to introduce a separate category for this, as motion design work differs from the other submissions in terms of a different storytelling approach and a special look. Last year, the motion design trailer for the second part of the game "Tom Clancy's The Division" won the coveted prize in this special category. The design studio Antibody, which created the trailer for Ubisoft, tells us what was important for the design.

Five Little Ones from the Red Giant – Universe 2
Red Giant, the fifth: Our first and only subscription model for plug-ins is called Universe and comes, surprisingly enough, from Red Giant.

Five Little Ones from the Red Giant – Shooter Suite 13
Red Giant, the fourth: The smallest and most inconspicuous collection in our overview is the Shooter Suite, which consists of two programs and two plug-ins. In short, the package contains tools for ingesting material, preparing it for editing and making simple corrections.
Five Little Ones from the Red Giant – Magic Bullet Suite 13
Red Giant, the third: One of the most sensible purchases for postproduction is good color-correction tools, whether a standalone program such as Resolve or a handful of plug-ins for After Effects or other hosts, because hardly any editing software does everything needed for professional grading. One of the most useful collections in this context is Red Giant's Magic Bullet Suite, because alongside very efficient color correction it also contains grading tools and simple correction filters.
Five Little Ones from the Red Giant – Keying Suite 11
Red Giant, the second: No question, Primatte Keyer is among the best and most professional chroma keyers on the market. Exclamation mark. At least as far as AE plug-ins are concerned. Red Giant has built a small collection around this filter that provides additional tools for blue- or greenscreen composites that are as realistic as possible.
Five Little Ones from the Red Giant – Red Giant Effects Suite 11
Red Giant, the first: Why is Red Giant called Red Giant? Probably because through in-house developments and acquisitions, the manufacturer has grown into a true giant in tools and plug-ins over recent years.

The first collection we examine here is called Effects Suite and provides nine effect packages with one or more individual filters.
