Motion Graphics: Movie Titling and Broadcast Motion Graphics

Trish and Chris Meyer are long time After Effects users and the authors of the Book Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects. There website called Crish Design here is a nice example of their work from past and present times.
Looking at their portfolio page under the Broadcast slide show you can see a nice example of the Digital Scrapbook style animation they created for the show entitled "Free Ride". Their work is very clear on how layers, masks, blend modes, and transitions play a vital role in motion graphics.
