www.motionspire.com
motionspire is a website that showcases the latest in motion graphics making hte rounds in the design community and also offers designers a chance to showcase there own work adn uploads videos stating "its OK to show off".
The website is extremely simple to use due to the fact it is very nicely designed with a very clean layout that makes it easy to navigate, on the home page you get a selection of video thumbnails of what are the most current.
there is also a list of catagories down one side of the page that let you narrow down your selection to such subjects as 2d, 3d, typography and idents to name a few and while this is not a new feature to a website but the fact that this site is dedicated purely to motion graphics the catagories are specific to video so you get much more specialized catagories than you would find on other websites, so you get options such as stop motion, short film and commerical work. there is also a list of back dated material that goes back 7 months.
One downside to the website is that they dont provide any information about the videos that you are watching like the brief but you do get a link to the creaters of the piece of works company or personal website which is helpful as soemtime on video hosting sites you find a video someone has posted but then ahve no idea who was behind creating it so this feature really helps to discover more companys, and also to research into more videos from that company.
