lolaHi everyone!! How are your vidding and text explorations going? This exercise definitely stretches some potentially unfamiliar design muscles and involves learning some new skills.
I started working with text in vidding this year, inspired by some beautiful vids and AMVs I'd been seeing lately, though its always something I've found really interesting and wanted to try. Actually, I really started playing with text and typography with the videographic essay exercises, and once I saw the possibilities of that, I started thinking more fully about how text can be and is being used effectively for vids.
It seems like quite a few of you have already dove (dived? Hmm) into these exercises. What have you found the challenges to be? What feels like it works? From my limited so far experience working with text, I've found that keeping the editing simple and limiting the text per shot makes a difference, or it becomes overwhelming. But maybe that's not always the case. I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on this!
OH and this exercise is due this Saturday, May23.
