Mixed media video is what we love! In this thought-provoking piece, FEVR takes on a playful yet profound question: With dinosaurs disappearing from Earth in such a fast and dramatic way, could the same fate await human beings? Just because we’re adults doesn’t mean we have to stop asking the curious, childlike questions that inspire deeper reflection.

This mixed media video (or video collage) combines motion design with various visual techniques, from traditional collage-inspired graphics to integrated video clips, creating a dynamic interplay between different media. By using a blend of animated sequences, layered imagery, and live-action video, the piece flows seamlessly between styles, enriching the storytelling.

The juxtaposition of digital motion graphics with real-world textures creates a visually striking narrative. Elements like freehand illustrations, textured layers, and vintage footage come together with cutting-edge animation and effects to offer a captivating visual experience. To further enhance the humor and narrative, playful transitions and fast-paced timing are synchronized with an engaging soundtrack that balances levity and thoughtfulness.

As the video moves through scenes, it embraces the collage technique to mix hand-drawn and digital elements in unexpected ways, keeping the viewer intrigued. At its core, this mixed media motion design explores themes of extinction, survival, and humanity’s place in the universe, but with a light-hearted and humorous approach.

FEVR’s creative process for this project demonstrates the power of mixed media, combining the flexibility of video editing, the artistic flair of motion graphics, and the depth of storytelling. The result is a visually engaging and conceptually rich piece that’s as entertaining as it is reflective.
