Typography animation

This week we are covering animation, especially typography in motion. It is related to upcoming assignment 3, so it's good to practice now. We were given a task to make a typography animation with some basic camera movements such as pan, tilt, zoom in/out.
The exercise is based on short monologue or dialogue audio clip captured from a movie. I picked a 10 seconds donut monologue from Over the Hedge movie:
"Oh come on! You haven't even tried donuts yet! You wanna store fat? That is the way to store some fat! You'll be sweating through winter!"
Motion and scale should follow rhythm of the audio track. However, the audio clip is very short and pace of the speaker too fast to create more interesting animation. Therefore, i tried to stick with basic movement and keep it legible.





I found great collection of typography animations from Dezignus.com.

I am so happy to read this. This is the kind of manual that needs to be given and not the random misinformation that's at the other blogs. Thanks for sharing this.
