Titus 1:5-9

by on April 10, 2010 in Motion Design

Not sure why I blog so intermittently, I would be better off not even trying it would seem. Anyways here is a motion graphics piece I did in After Effects for Blue Ridge Community Church for a scripture reading. using Creative Commons Hi-Res photos from the NASA Hubble. I’m not completely satisfied with how the text turned out, but it worked ok for the element.

Music is by Judson Lee
Voiceover by Todd Foster.

Your thoughts?

Luke 14:25-33

by on August 17, 2009 in Motion Design

This is a motion graphics piece I did for Blue Ridge Community Church. It was a little more of an adventure than some previous ones I’ve made simple for the fact that there are so many animated elements in this one besides the typography. It brought a little more visual interest, and coupled with sound effects and my ever so excellent narrator Marilee Earle, it turned out pretty well. I say every time I have the chance to do one of these,”I wish this was my only job, because these would get amazing”. However, I suppose just a few now and then will have to do, time allowing.

Lend me your thoughts, what do you think? What would you have done differently?

Fears

by on January 15, 2009 in Motion Design

I created this, once again, for Blue Ridge Community Church. This is a short kinetic typography animation of questions people have asked as fears they might have of becoming a Christ follower. When people are looking for a reason to not do something, it’s easy to come up with reasons and excuses to shy away from it. It takes a lot more balls to just jump at something headfirst.

This was my first attempt at creating my own original music before beginning the design process, thus making it easier to sync to the audio for good beat hits, and to fit the length I would need. I made the audio with the help of my trusty friend Reason 4. You can view it below, or it’s hosted here on my vimeo.

Galatians Six

by on September 15, 2008 in Motion Design

So there comes a time in every (static) graphic designers life when he/she realizes that it’s time to move to something unknown and new. For me there were a plethora of things on the table. Street luge, giraffe hunting, baseball card collecting, hot dog eating contests, etc. However when I realized all of those would be complete wastes of time, I decided it was time for this boy to move into motion graphics.

I’ve had After Effects CS3 sitting in my applications folder and have never had a clue what to do with it once it was opened, thus inducing its immediately closing.

All that to say, this was my first dabble into motion graphics, and I have to say it was an adventure, yet I loved every moment of the learning process and the discovery that I was legitimately only scratching the surface of what this software was capable of. Though this was a bit of a daunting task to take on as a first project, 20+ hours of work later, here’s my result.
It’s narrated by Gary Rogers and it moves to the tunes of one of my favorite ambient bands Hammock.

Enjoy.
