To resonate on your comment : when thinking about UI design, I personally never dissociate visual and behavior.
The UI behavior has to comply with the visual metaphor it manipulates. This is quite hard to do properly for people (like me) that does not master one of the discipline : UI behavior is controlled by code, and with a slight lack of care, it slips easily in a spaghetti nightmare if you want something finely tuned, and UI visuals, well, also needs great skills.
A team that manages to set up a cooperation for those two competence will bring you great UIs.

To actually sit down and do some research into motion graphics. Right now that area is primarily explored by flash developers and there are many really cool geeky things you can do to optimize transitions. If you really wanna shine as a developer with these kind of interfaces, learn how to optimize your transitions. Why is this important? Because it's what happens between the clicks that going to create the feel of the product.
