Sequence Twǿ

Menlo Regular

Following my storyboard and specific timelines I realised that for this sequence I would need to work with masks.

I chose this typeface because it is serif so therefore as the type dissapears there are still recognis-able aspects of the letterform for it to be identified. The difference in weight also connotes disperse and a gives a feel of irratic’ness’ that reflects the subject matter.

So I initially I opened up my type in Illustrator and outlined it so that the different anchor points could be manipulated.

I needed to get accross the depletion of the type so it was necessary to work in this way.

Take note:background colour / / solid colour.

I gave the effect of the type dissa-pearing through separate manipu-lation of each letterform. Each key frame that passed I reduced an area of the letter. For example:

To give the illusion of the type moving further away from the viewer I simply created two key rames within the composition as a whole. One at the beginning at 100%, then one at the end at 10%

Blur.I thought that by creating blur the feeling of dissapa-tion would be heightened. I think this is definitely the case on the s letterform. It is as if your eyes are squinting, trying to read the disappearing type.
