Brendan Murray - Motion Graphics

 For the final, I touched up the placement, selected a font family to use for the type, created a system for the different type sizes used (small would be 100px, regular would be 150 px, and large would be 175 px), and played with timing and effects. I also adjusted the background color to make it something of a blueish-gray. Though I feel like there's still a lot I could do with this project, for my first After Effect piece I am somewhat pleased with the results. 

 Not too much progress has been made since my first post, but I have begun the process of enlarging and playing some more with the kinetic type. Playing around with position and the time words last on the screen. Nothing it finalized yet, but it's getting there. I will continue to play with upper case and lower case as well. 

 Hello! So this is the first test for the kinetic text. The audio is from the 1982 film Bladerunner, spoken by Rutger Hauer's character Roy Batty.  This is about as bare bones as it can get, with the text merely being synced up with the audio and not having any sort of effects applied to it. The text is also all over the place. It will be cleaned up for the final version.  You might (hopefully) be able to see the different ideas I have playing in my head with how the words go in and out. Again, it will look a lot prettier when completed. I'm still learning the ropes of AE as I've never touched the software before, so it's taken a little bit of time to get used to, but I'm catching on.  Had some exporting and uploading issues, so it took a little bit of time. But it's up now.
