To Further enhance my level of understanding within Adobe After Effects, I decided to continue my experimentation into creating my own kinetic typography. This time i looked into more specifically the different animations and text transitions that I plan to use within my own animation, experimenting with key frames and forms of motion blur to give my work a more dynamic feel. Now knowing that I want my animation to contain at least some kinetic typography techniques I have implemented more space for body copy. My initial plans include having every spoken word appear on screen alongside some imagery, the examples below showcase some dynamic ways that this could be done, utilising the space well and still being able to include large amounts of highly detailed and easily legible body copy text, by using high contrast colours to represent different viewpoints/topics.
After completing these experimentation’s for a second time I feel its next appropriate to create some Illustration examples, as my animation will need to be varied and show a variety of skills within After Effects to be completely effective as well as requiring extra animations in order to keep my animation interesting, innovative and dynamic. I would like to experiment with some simple animations first, possibly walking sequences of only a few frames. Perhaps sketching characters out in my sketchbook first then progressing onto After Effects will be a smart way of doing this.
