For our first project in motion graphics, we were tasked with creating a kinetic typography video. I focused on animation and worked in Adobe Animate. This was my first time using the application, and I wanted to see how far I could go. The song I chose to explore in this program is called “Sailor Song” by Gigi Perez. It is a song about slowly losing hope in a same gender relationship due to the ways of society. I incorporated these themes by using illustrations and hand drawing each word, giving it the feel that the narrator is writing it themselves. For more technical aspects, I used a 12 frames-per-second method, and in the beginning, each frame is different until the text appears. After that, every two frames are animated.
