I'm planning to do Kinetic Typography. Remember the Superbad animation from Week Four? That's the type of thing I'm going to do. I have some more examples if you want to check out what I mean: (Disclaimer: some contain profane language)
A lot of those are probably done by full-time animation students who are super pro at Flash, so don't expect the same level of skill out of me in a few weeks. I'll do my best though.
There was an example of kinetic typography shown in class when we talked about the animation assignment. This kind of bothered me because I wanted to do kinetic typography before I was even in RTA. My inspiration was my boyfriend's kinetic typography he did to a song by Slipknot (you can find it here). He showed me everything I know about typography until this class so I owe a lot of influential credit to him.
I've done lots of research on it, mainly through YouTube videos and watching my boyfriend make them. He uses After Effects mostly, but he says it's relatively straight forward (once you have the know-how) to do it in Flash. I'm going to have to master the shape and motion tweens to make it as effective as I want. There's no question that I'm going to be asking a lot of questions to make sure I do everything properly.
Since the content has to be my own, I decided to write a monologue about moving to Toronto and my impressions of the city. I wrote out a script and drew some storyboards of my keyframes over the long weekend, and while I think it'll take a lot of work, I have faith that I can get this done.
Check back in a few weeks to see how I did!
