Motion is no longer an afterthought - it’s now the language of branding.

In this kickoff episode of Months in Motion, Jimmy Gordon sits down with design legend Brian Collins (CCO & Co-Founder, COLLINS) to explore why motion design is becoming the craft of brand behavior - and how rhythm, story, and surprise make a brand move people.

🎥 In this episode:

• The shift from static design to motion-first identity

• San Francisco Symphony & Freeform case studies

• Chuck Jones, Wile E. Coyote & design timing

• Why AI raises the stakes for creative excellence

• Creating systems that evolve, not restrict
