Kinetic Typography
Jesse Sanderson
For the kinetic typography project, I did a scene someone made out of different clips from Napoleon Dynamite the 2004 movie directed by Jared Hess, about a bunch off losers in high school, trying to be accepted as them selves. I made it in Adobe Flash CS4, using adobe after affects would have been a better program to use, but flash is what we were assigned to use. I used a font I found online that was used a lot in the movie, called 3Dumb. Napoleon uses a font like this in all the drawings he did in the movie, so I thought it would be a good font to use. Also the background I used was the same wallpaper used on the walls of Napoleon Dynamite’s house.
When I created my storyboard and chose my font, my goal was to make it really cheesy, so that it would go well with the theme of the movie. If I could redo the project I would probably change some of the transitions so that they are less repetitive. Something that I’m proud of is how close it was to what I had planned on my story board, and how well it portrays the mood of the movie. Something that I found really frustrating with flash was tweens, tweens are the steps that take something from one position to another. What was really hard about the tweens was getting them to work properly, without glitching and not transforming properly. Whenever I was having a problem with a tween, I would keep going over it and tweaking it till I got it right. (sorry about the bad video and audio quality)
