Kinetic Typography: Kevin's Heart

Kinetic Typography: Kevin's Heart

Software: After Effects

Hardware: N/A

Whoo, was this a bit of a doozy for me! It took a lot of time and effort to move towards more advanced animation in After Effects, especially when worrying about the ability to accurately animate each letter to the timing and words of the song. Luckily, I chose one of my favorite songs of all time, J. Cole's "Kevin's Heart." I decided to do it in separate frames for each line, representing the feel through a change in scenery. It was a lot of fun, but also a lot of time and effort!

After Effects Tutorial: Bouncing Seal

After Effects: Bouncing Seal in Environment

Software: After Effects

Hardware: N/A

Though this is a bit rudimentary in nature, this is a tutorial for me on how to begin using After Effects as a software. I had a tough time wrapping my head around the programmatic, code-like nature of the platform for a while, but you eventually just have an epiphany and all the numbers start making sense eventually! I enjoyed this a lot, and am looking forward greatly to the After Effects Mixed Media Project!

Weight Project Submission

Weight: A Bad Time for a Bold Orange

Software: Toon Boom's Harmony Premium

Hardware: Wacom Tablet (Medium)

I simply created a continuation of the original Walk Cycle Submission, adding our second family-friendly protagonist: the B(old) Orange Man. He is having some struggs, and needs assistance. Here comes the Aardvark, slightly begrudged to help! Then, by means of his lack of tact, the Aardvark pulls off the Orange Man's arm. A single tear runs down his glossy, orange skin: end scene. I had tons of fun with this project! I came to really love the two characters, and had a good time animating them. Yet, I decided to move to another project for the Dialogue Assignment: theres only so many oranges you can draw before it peels you, ya' know?
