'Add To Gallery' Motion Example

I've been asked to submit an entry for an article on web animation. I could choose the subject so I chose singular, meaningful animation; not using motion for motion's sake but motion that reinforces and enhances user action and guides the eye to the consequence of that action.

This is a simplified animation for an 'Add to gallery' UI animation that complements the piece (it purposely doesn't loop because UX tasks rarely loop!).

I'll post the article when it goes live.
