Typographic animation

I needed to create an animation that was based on a piece of text. It needs to be interesting enough for people to want to watch. Broad projects, for me, are very creatively limiting. This was a big challenge with this animation brief. I chose a poem by Ernest Hemingway. Using After Effects for this was good because of the wide range of text tools. I wanted to learn and refine my skills in this area of the software. The result was completely typographical. I was designing as if this animation would be used to show off Ernest Hemingway’s work. I think an animation is a good way of doing this as it can be very memorable.
