In class we often discuss basic principle of Intellectual Property. Some of the details get a little thick. The following are a couple of resources I find useful when deciphering copyright.

Here is a great example of the Moving Type project. This project was created during Spring 2008 in VCIM 2270 – Animation for Web and Media, by Lori B.

We’ll be taking a crack at this project using Cinema 4D & After Effects in the near future.

Today in Animation, we will start to focus on asymmetric timeline animation and moving type. The goal of the next project is to synchronize animated type with a narrative soundtrack.

Like always, find information and inspiration before you start. You can find a collection of moving type examples in the “Public” folder.
