Kinetic Typography

I about killed all my creative brain cells on the last bumper (or now I am calling them Series Roll Ins), it's the little video that plays before Pastor Steve delivers the message each Sunday. Some of you might have seen my tweets or facebook status updates that I was working on something called Kinetic Typography. I though I'd tell you a little about the process. First off you have to record the voice over, it's just easier this way. Then, once the VO is done you can start the syncing process, which is the tedious part. Basically you have to type out each word so that each word is its own layer. Once you have a sentence, or sometimes even just one word done, you make that block of text its own layer. Then one you have done this to the entire VO you can start the creative process. This is the part that can really get hard because lets face it, there is only so much you can do with text. But I figure that once I am more confident with this technique I'll be more creative. It was a lot of fun and a great challenge for me. Here is the Roll In I created for the new series titled 'How Faith Grows.'

Pastor Steve wrote the script.

Beeboppin back in...

Jamming to some older stuff..Jamiroquai. Yes sir! Good stuff, wish I had listened to it when I was younger, but what did I know then.

Anyway I am rambling. Lately I have been advocating almost ad nauseam Twitter at Stonebridge. I am sure my coworkers are tired of me spouting off even the mere mention of the word Twitter. However, the reason I have is because of how revolutionary Twitter is. I mean think about it, you send a text message from your computer to someone's cell phone! In the same way that you can tweet on your phone and a person at their computer will see it. And, better yet, you don't really even need a computer, you can tweet phone to phone, it's all simultaneous! Can you see why I am so excited about this thing called Twitter? So, what I've been doing to is setting up Twitter accounts people in our congregation can follow, so far there are four: SBChurch, Married2040, TheBridgeSB, and Gap56. We even produced a Twitter Tutorial in hopes it will clear up the confusion as to what twitter is. So, join the the revolution and sign up for Twitter.

Also, I want to invite everyone to come out to StoneBridge on April 25th, we are having our annual Spring Fling and it should be a ton of fun: games, food, and live music. Put it on you calendar!

Til next time,

You stay classy Blogspot.
