Motion Graphics has been used at least since 1960 when the pioneer of computer filmaking John Whitney named his new company Motion Graphics.
Motion Graphics has been considered a speciality skill. normally handled by artists, that concentrate on designing for television broadcasts or films.
within the next 10 years the majority of graphic designers will work with timed-based medi.
Non narrative, non-figurative based visuals are motion graphics
FILMS
Films do contain motion Graphics however very few are considered to be motion graphics
VISUAL EFFECTS
primarily concerned with creating special effects that look realistic, while motion graphics server a purpose more ambiguous - one more akin to graphics design.
CHARACTER ANIMATION
both traditionally 2d and 3d character animation can be used within motion graphics, but usually aren't motion graphics in themselves. Significant use of graphic design principles or stylization can blur the lines between traditional animation and motion graphics.
*Character animations are becoming more realistic nowerdays.

MOTION GRAPHICS TIPS
ELIMINATE THE NEGATIVES- Dont be scared to ask the clients what they dont want
CORRECT COLOUR FIRST- always use basic colour correction first, make the blacks BLACK!
BE FLEXIBLE- Dont be afraid to kill off an idea, even if it sounds great, if its not fitting the brief start again
TRY SOMING NEW: move away from the subject matter.
PLAN THE EDIT- Masp the path of the story from start to finish.
MAKE IT FLOW- always should be a sense of flow dont make your work look cheap
GLOWS- glow effects give a slight glare to the scene and slightly softens edges.
VISUAL INTETREST- Dont leave the user with a blank scree, always have something there
