Sink kinetic type lyric video ANIMATION AND MOTION GRAPHICS
PROJECT OVERVIEW What started as a 20 second kinetic type animation exercise for Motion Graphics GD3240 class at the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design quickly turned into a full lyric video for a single released by the band The Out. For this project we were just learning the ropes of using Adobe After Effects and how to key frame sequences as well as add simple animation effects. Watch the video on youtube METHODOLOGY For this project, we were to pick any sort of 10 to 20 second audio clip that included dialogue such as spoken word or sung lyrics. I chose the song "Sink" by Columbus band The Out, as I have done multiple design pieces for them, and I thought it would be a fun exercise to play with a song that they had recently released as a single. We approached the project as we would any other with thumbnail sketches, storyboards, choosing a typeface, and color palette. After creating the first 20 second video of the first verse in the song, I presented the project to the band and they loved the idea and direction, asking me to finish the video. As the work progressed, I added other elements into the video other than simple text movements such as square and rectangular blocks to help bring the sequences together and create something more visually interesting. typography
