 * Skills: **

Construct a plan using a thumbnail sheet. Understand basic media codecs. Move media into and out of After Effects Use design elements and principles like color, repetition, scale, rhythm and time to convey emphasis and importance. Utilize groups and layers to create a neat and usable After Efects project. Make precise use of the timeline to create tempo. Selectively utilize behaviors and filters to create variety. Use 3D space to create depth.

In this project you will use After Effects to create a “Kinetic Typography” music video. After choosing your song, you will animate the lyrics to create a visual representation of the audio. You must use timing and tempo, size and color to emphasize or contrast your original content. Using AE's tools you can emphasize the feeling of moving through space, size and scale of the text, and inversion of axes. Use these tools to bring out and show the relative importance of aspects of the audio and text.
