Aerial Perspective
What is aerial perspective and why is it used in motion graphics?
GLOSSARY
Aerial Perspective, or Atmospheric Perspective, involves simulating depth in visuals by gradually changing the color and clarity of objects to mimic the effect of the atmosphere on things that are further away. It’s used in motion graphics to create a sense of three-dimensionality and vastness.
In an animated scene of a mountain range, Aerial Perspective would make the mountains in the distance appear bluer and less defined than those in the foreground, adding depth to the landscape.
The Deep Forest Visualizer template on Videobolt exemplifies aerial perspective by immersing viewers in the serene beauty of a lush forest. This template enhances the listening experience with visuals that deepen as the music plays, using gradations of color and light to simulate the atmospheric depth of the forest.
