Type in AE

Nice simple way to show how type can be animated to appear on the screen.


Type in Ae

Type in AE

Example of what i could create in AE for uses t have a go at. 



AE Tutorial - Fireworks

Uses subtitles over recorded video - can be followed but subtitles often hide what is happening. 

AE Tutorial - Intro

Probably how not to do a video tutorial; 
Difficult to view in detail
inappropriate music
no narrative
little use of subtitles

Typolution

This is a great piece of motion graphics, making great use of typography

Typolution




Typography In Motion

Visual Research into kinetic typography
Using narrative from film and music to produce motion graphic
Work shown is predominately by Design Students who have posted project work on youtube
(all work shown is for my own visual research- non of the work shown is produced by me)






Beatles - Eleanor Rigby Typography Motion




Taking a famous scene from the classic film, Full Metal Jacket, typography is used to illustrate a heated dialogue between a Sergeant and a Soldier in a station bumper for AMC, American Movie Classics.



A typography experiment animated and designed by graphic artist Sebastian Jaramillo (http://www.sebastianjt.com) based on the movie Fight Club on the scene "Chemical Burn".

Why Not Associates Website

Why Not Associates Website was pointed out by a fellow student. Their work spans many disciplines;

branding
identity
public art
advertising
motion graphics
audio visual installations
short films
web design
interactive design
print
book design
editorial design
packaging
exhibition design
signage
in-store graphics

The Motion graphics and public art (environmental) work especially interested me, given me some good ideas on how to use typography.

Channel 4 Idents

Channel 4 ident - Dockyard



Channel 4 ident - Festival stage



Channel 4 ident - Market Scene

Platform International Animation Festival


Loved this little animation - Platform

By Smith & Foulkes (of NEXUS Productions)


Two of the most useful sites

These two sites have been a great source for research, not only for current briefs but also in self development/promotion project

Motionographer
seeks to be a source of inspiration for filmmakers, animators and designers by sharing a great archive of work from studios, freelancers and students

another great source for design work, including motion graphics and TV work relevant to current project

Paper Critters


Not so relevant to current work but a great example of interactive website, the user can design and create their own online paper creature. Can then be uploaded to an online colony or even printed off.

Will have a little play later
