For Funsies. This Will Probably End Up Turning Into Something Later. Damn It.

For funsies. This will probably end up turning into something later. Damn it.

Final photo for my Physical Type assignment. It was hard to get a photo where at least some of the box isn’t showing, so I had to add in a lot of shadows and bleeding out the painting to cover it up. I like how the text turned out, it was kind of lucky that the plastic sheet ended up folding back a little to give it more of a dimensional feel. 

Progress shot for my kinetic type project. Definitely taking a humorous turn with the quotes. Inspired by an certain early South Park episode. 

I’m quickly discovering null objects are my friend, and no longer a bane to my existence, like they were 6 months ago when I had to animate a walk cycle for my animation class. 

I’m really just trying to have some fun with this last project, but it’s hard to tear away from nitpicky design choices, like dividing the bg picture into 2 layers to make it more dimensional and making the text fade out at strategic points. Or making the text pop up in timing with the music, which holy crap is that annoying to get that just right. But so far so good. I’m excited to get into some other effects for the text in the latter part of the video. 

"80s yuppie murders prostitutes and has existential crises' in between racist and homophobic tirades"

Getting friends in to musicals is hard because when they ask what it’s about you have to be like “15 year olds having sex” or “a plant from outer space that takes over the world” or “teenagers killing people for fun” or “Alexander Hamilton”

Trying to get some lighting ideas for my diorama project for my typography class. I’m probably going to have to end up using natural lighting, as I think that would give it the best effect anyway. But i also have some small LED and flashlights I can use if nothing else. Anything that can give it a nice shadow effect will be nice really. 

Diorama hecho acuario.

Kinetic Typography movie finished! 

Might go back in the future to fix some nit picky stuff. For the most part I’m happy with how it turned out. I was happy with the “bounce” effects on some of the words towards the end. I feel like this is something Adult Swim would play during their breaks in between shows.
