INSTRUCTIONS



EXERCISE

(PRACTICAL) In-class Activities
Kinetic Typographic Practice

✧  For the practical portion of the class, Mr Martin demonstrated 2 ways on how we could animate the lyrics from P!nk's song - So What.  

✧  Lyrics: So So What I'm Still A Rock Star" 

✧  I went with the 1st demonstration of using the null object. I also followed the link from Mr Martin's recommendation to perfect the animation. I found through this exercise that it takes a lot of time to create short animations like this & learnt to not take any of the animations i see for granted. 

✧  By using a Null Object & linking other layers to the layer helps a lot to create the animation

✧  I sketched out how I'd like the frames to look like roughly before starting out. 

Inspiration & AE Progression

✧  For this exercise, I went on Youtube to search for a few video references and I came across the below 2 which I then learnt about doing a few tricks to elevate the animation

FEEDBACK

Week 03: Exercise 03, Kinetic Typography review (20.01.2022)

Lecturer's Feedback:

✧ Mr Martin liked our group work on BTS's Butter, he seemed to really enjoy our work! He mentioned our group will be having a 6marks instead of the full 5 marks, which my group & I were overjoyed to hear! 

REFLECTIONS

This was a project that I didn't expect myself to enjoy. Although I will say Ae is the software where I am the weakest in, I overcome it by watching more tutorials by Mr Martin & on Youtube. The part in that I took was the rap part, which means everything needs to be fast passed and timed accordingly.  It was out of my comfort zone but it was challenging in a good way. My groupmates were also very supportive of each other, we are very active on our communication platform.
