PAN-MAN Kinetic Typography

Week 3

This is my version of a 30 second Kinetic Typography using the provided music thing.

i call it Pan Man. Becuase at the start he uses the word Pan a lot.

there were a few things i really struggled with in this exercise.
1. i had problems trying to find a connection, some common theme other than the music that could link my words. i didn't just want to repeat the script which unfortunatly to a certain degree i did.
2. i felt like i was definatly over using random effects at some points... simply becuase i could not think of any reason for this text to be moving or doing anything at all.
3. there were some technical problems i faced. i could't figure out what to keyframe if i wanted the music to fade so unfortunatly it ends rather abruptly. and i had problems with the audio while rendering out... which obviously got sorted.

i think if i had maybe done some more research or just spent a little longer on the animation i would have created a more satisfying result. something that had a little more 'deep meaning' rather than being so superficial.
OR is that what i intended?




TYPOGRAPHY

This website while servicing static typography just showed me some really beautiful examples of how text can really be used in unusual ways rather than just sticking to straight forward text saying something (much like my kinetic typography animation) text and fonts can be used to create outstanding images.

I wish i had had a look at it before i did my kinetic typography... then it might have been good.. well better than it is.

week one - my first attempt

well these are my first attempts at anything to do with after effects. I've used photoshop before... so i knew what was going on there.

Urm obviously looking back on this i'm horrified that i could be this lazy. Its boring and terrible makes no sense the masking is el yucko.

i don't think i actually read the instructions of the weekly tutorial exercise properly. So NOTE to self i might want to d that in future.

here you go i hope you enjoy my particular brand of rush.










thanks for watching,
