MINDS-N-MOTION
Dynamic text exercises in After Effects

Aim – General Outline
Whether it is film, TV or the internet, whether it is on projection screens or smartphones – we encounter animated typography more and more frequently and on all different kinds of platforms. In this workshop, poetic texts in type, audio and graphics will come to live. The plan is to start exploring on the level of text and spoken text and by interpreting a poem. In the studio, texts can be recorded, sung or freely interpreted. Handmade sounds may accentuate the animation. Simultaneously, the actual experiment begins with defining the visualitites and running first animation tests. The workshop is accompanied by technical introductions to Audition, Illustrator and After Effects (CS6). The borders of readability are to be explored and new ways of possible interpretations (meta level) are to be implemented.

Software
Audition, Illustrator, After Effects (CS 6)
