INSTRUCTION

Project 2: Motion Graphic 

Exercise 3: 

Kinetic Typography 

When selecting lyrics for our kinetic typography project, our group chose “Bones” by Imagine Dragons. We divided up the lyrics among ourselves and began production. First, each of us sketched out a rough draft of the section we were responsible for.

However, after discussing it with my team members and making adjustments during the production process, the final product didn’t turn out exactly as I had envisioned, because I realized that the animated text I had created was still a bit too monotonous.

During the production process, following my instructor’s advice, I rearranged the font sizes and positions and adjusted some animations that were moving too quickly, making it difficult for the audience to clearly see the content.

I encountered many challenges during the production process, but I also learned how to create a variety of font animations, which was a lot of fun.

Exercise 5: Vector Animation:

I created an animation using vector graphics based on the tutorials and instructions provided by my teacher, and I learned how to organize layers in Adobe Illustrator to ensure that individual elements can be moved independently in After Effects.

Reflection:

Throughout this learning and hands-on experience, I have become more proficient in using After Effects. By completing relevant exercises and assignments, I have gradually become familiar with basic operations such as using keyframes, adjusting layers, and creating simple animations. These practical exercises have given me a more intuitive understanding of the animation production process and have made me more confident when working with the software.

At the same time, this learning experience has given me a preliminary understanding of some fundamental principles of animation design, such as the rhythm of object movement, transition effects, and basic animation logic. Although my current knowledge is still relatively basic, it provides a solid foundation for understanding animation production.

Overall, this learning and practical experience has improved my software skills and deepened my understanding of animation, laying the groundwork for more complex animation design and practical work in the future.
