After Effects Typography

After Effects Typography from Merry Eady on Vimeo.

The first video of this lesson I started off by experimenting in Photoshop with different font styles and using it with a quote that I liked. I then used colours and after effects to animate the quote to appear in the video at certain times that I felt looked interesting and appropriate for the quote. I like the choice of colours cause I felt it made it look simple and unique and I felt really fitted for this quote. I wanted the last word to be more emphasised so I decided to enlarge it and have the word next to it disappear.

Personal Statement

I'm Merry Eady, I'm 21 years old and I currently study Graphic Design and Animation at The University of Huddersfield.

I'm interested in everything to do with visual effects, all the way from pre-production to post-production. I am very passionate about the film industry and the process behind creating unique scenes or effects within a scene. I believe that being able to develop a character's feelings within a scene is a crucial part of being an effective creator.

In my spare time, I like to experiment with both film and digital photography, using unconventional techniques to create interesting photos.

I also experiment with C4D and all of the relevant Adobe programs constantly, so that I can keep developing my skills further. I try to combine both standardised and more uncommon practices to develop techniques, so that I can broaden my knowledge within each piece of software.
