My first attempt at kinetic typography. It’s only six seconds long, and has terrible audio, but it’s a quote from WWE that made me smile sooo, I’m going to use it as my first try. I’ve had a rough day today, my eyes hurt like crazy and it’s hard to focus on anything. But while I was working on this, I seemed to forget it all, and I got “in the zone”, if you will. I’m sure this is one of the many tries at this, because, besides the headache it gave me, it was actually pretty fun, and I would mind even expanding to longer clips (like a song) and trying new things with it.
I made this with photoshop cs5 and imovie. Crazy right? Why not use after effects? Well because I’m ghetto and use the cheap free program made for dumdums that’s why. Maybe that can be added to the challenge. Master the art of Kinetic Typography and After Effects!… That will take longer then a whole summer I can promise you that.
Speaking of summer, it’s been going great (besides today). I’ve been drawing for myself, and it’s actually very relaxing. I’m still pushing myself to improve, but in a chilled sense. I’m going to Grossmont for college this year, to knock out some GE, and then I can decide where to go from there.
It’s funny, I have been making all these comics nonstop since school got out, and I never once realized how happy I was doing them. Yes, sometimes a page can kind of be hell, but the overall outcome that is created from that, I love that feeling. And that’s why I want continue in that direction as an artist. Obviously I’m still an illustrator (I can do as much typography as I want, it’s not my true calling), and as a comic book artist I’d do just that. Thinking about my future in this business, I’m actually excited. I wasn’t as excited when I wanted to be an animator, no no. I need to do what makes me happy, and seeing my cousin (who transferred from a business major to a theatre major) made me realize that.
audio from the video was taken from a wwe segment on youtube (:
