Project 7 Kinnetic
FROM PAPER TO SCREEN from Thibault de Fournas on Vimeo.
Choose a piece of text/dialogue from a speech, book, spoken word piece, poem, audio book, etc. Transcribe the sound into words, or record the words into sound, and have both the sound and words ready. You will then animate the text and sound in After Effects. The final movie must be at least 15 seconds long (try not to be more than 25). Bonus points if you write and record the audio yourself.
I am going to have to say no movie or TV show dialogue, as the dialogue doesn't really make sense if you haven't seen the show in most cases. Plus those mediums already have a strong visual component, I want you to create a visual from something that does not have anything visual associated with it. No song lyrics either, because most song lyrics are not that profound if you remove them from the context of the song.
When/What do I turn in?
Due at the end of the day April 19th (MWF) or April 25th (TR), to be turned in as a Quicktime movie file and on youtube.
Tips
Read text on the page, by nature, is a time based process. Some read fast while others read slow. While your project is taking audio from a specific source, the way you present the audio visually is your way of making the piece your own, and directing the viewer. By doing this assignment, can you change the meaning of the text through motion?
Type and supporting shapes are allowed only. Focus should be on type. You need to indicate in the video whom the quote or poem is by at the end or beginning of the sequence.
Sources, consider TED talks, alternatives to TED, graduation speeches, audiobooks, podcasts, stand up comedy, other lecture based websites

Project 5 questions
- Does this poster attract your attention, do you feel like learning about the subject?
- What qualities of the work make you feel it is a success?
- Offer a suggestion for the artist about how to improve or expand his/her ideas
Project 6 Loop
You will create a GIF Animation in photoshop of the style of a digital collage, but with motion. Fell free to mix up various styles from retro to realistic, HI def to VHS video, digital to hand drawn...make something that is works as a looped short video.
For this assignment you will build 2 GIF animations in Photoshop; it is similar to the digital collage but with motion. Approach the GIF format as a timeline on a continuous loop: can you make something that uses this idea of repetition?
The theme for this project is "the Human Condition". What are the things we do in our daily leaves repeatedly that effect our moods and outlook, for better or worse? How can we visualize something through repetition that gets at the essence of our existence. You must name each gif based off the emotion you are trying to capture. Be true to yourself. The more specific and honest your work is the more engaging it will be.
