Client Project #2: Simulated Client Update

Here is my final video for the simulated client project (will upload a link at a later time) :

Learning how to make Kinetic Typography was a challenge, but I think it has turned out well for a first attempt. There is definitely a steep learning process involved if you are not familiar with software required (in this case I used Adobe Elements) but once you get into a flow of things the process is actually quite easy.

If I was to do this again I'd change a number of things:

1. Slow down the how fast I read the script

2. Find a more appropriate Codec to publish in.
I can't remember the initial codec I went with, but the project playback was choppy and it weakened the effect of the video. I then re-encoded to H264 and saw a little more success but there were still problems.

3. Develop a more detailed storyboard for the camera.
I'd say a mistake was not having a proper storyboard for the camera. The piece does revolve around a key word structure (below):

But I didn't actually consider how the camera would move around the stage. I think this is why the piece may be a bit hard to keep up with in places and read.

Overall I enjoyed doing this project, I think I will experiment with Kinetic Typography again, and be able to create something better thanks to this experience.
