Typography Explained

/

This s a College project . Well, this is my first time using After Effects, i learnt a lot of AE basics, such cameras, null objects, depth, basic effects, and some plug-ins. The project brief told us to do a kinetic typographical motion graphic. We should use the type expressions, audio sync-ing, type treatments to visualize the meaning of typography. The sound & narration is taken from BOCAMOTION.

The Small Details (A TED Remix)

/

A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. And the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching.  Sivananda








The TED Conference (Technology, Entertainment and Design) brings together the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes.) Each conference is structured around an overarching idea. A TED Remix is a new juxtaposition of talks around a specific theme.
