Capstone Ideas...

Over this past summer, I have been juggling with a few capstone ideas. The first thing that I had to decide was what software I felt that I was the best with. I decided that I have the most skill in using Flash and Photoshop. I am not that good with After Effects but I feel that over the course of this semester I can play around with the software a bit and do some tutorials in order to become comfortable with the software. Two main ideas that I came up with for my capstone may seem a bit odd, but I feel that they are do-able and would be fun for me as well. I do enjoy motion graphics and I also enjoy music. One of the main concepts that I wanted to have in my capstone was music. The one main thing that I am debating here however, is whether I want to do an animation that is incorporated with music or motion graphics incorporated with music. Here below are two prime examples of what I am trying to describe for my capstone. These two examples I believe, are very cool and seem like something that I would enjoy doing, since I love animation as well as many different styles of music.

    Your example reminds me of kinetic typography. Maybe if you created your own track then did something similar as you suggested with the sounds or if it has lyrics then you could do a combination of your example and kinetic typography.

  2. After Effects is a great program that is really easy to get lost in and make some pretty awesome stuff. i would look into that for sure!

  3. I like this idea a lot. I am really into music and I love to watch animation. I know nothing about it but it is always enjoyable. Here is a video that you might be interested in. Its mostly stop motion but comes across with a similar idea
