My typography video is called "Scars/to the new boyfriend" which is the name of the original video that the audio is taken from, a poem by slam poet Rudy Francisco.
To create it I used Flash CS6. My motion typography contains most of the principles of animation including squash and stretch, timing, exaggeration, and appeal.
What I most enjoy about my final product is the use of space and the speed (how well it matches the audio) I'm also quite proud of the colours I chose. On reflection I would probably change some of the parts in which I didn't add anything really exciting to catch the viewers attention and simply had the words dead centre.
I faced quite a few challenges with the design as I had many ideas for the typography which I thought would look really good but I couldn't figure out how to make them work as I had just started using flash for typography. To solve most of these problems I watched a few tutorials on how to use flash for motion Typography (there weren't many).
