Animation has progressed alot... I still need to work out what transitions to use for 'floundering in self-conscious and maudlin experiments'. Also I will add paper effects to 'many'.

Humanity - kinetic
"Printing demands the humanity of mind,"
Not sure if the stamp effect of 'printing' works too well... would be coll if a little bit of ink splashed off the word to emphasise the power/force behind the print. I think it would look too over complicated to have 'humanity of mind' floating in and the heirarchy becomes affected. For this reasn I have simplified to animation down to grey with a opacity fade in.

Kinetic Typography 1
Woohoo! This is easier than I thought and here is the general basics of creating kinetic type in After Effects. Now I can edit the words individually but at least the are actually coming in at the right time now!
Wrong again!
Ok, so I started creating my animation without the audio. Lorraine told me to get my audi done now! So having just recorded it, here is the complete audio track! I now have to fit the words to this instead of the other way around.
Organisation
I have organised my layers in After Effects to make it easier for me to understand what layers happen when and what the content is...

Paper
After looking at some animations using paper I would really like to use these techniques as secondary bits of information in my work. Maybe for 'many' or hearts coming off 'fickleness' thing would work really well. Also I want to create the crystalline goblet and water from paper and have the background in paper.
PICTURES & VIDEOS
Tracing Paper
I thought this would look really nice, but there is not enough detail to establish itself as a background. I might as well just have it as a solid white layer.
Antique Paper
The paper needs to move with the text obviously but I like the colour and real quality the stock brings to the screen. I don't think the motion of how the 'norma' text comes onto screen (opactity), this needs addressing and to become more appropriate with printing on paper... maybe just appearing, instead of a fade.
Newsprint
Definitely the best material to use for my background!

Floundering
"...many of the fine arts are even now floundering in self conscious and maudlin experiments."
First attempt

Second attempt
Reflection
Again, I need to bring up the bottom text, and also this should move in a straight line, not up and down. The 'many' may need to change typeface or style to make it appear more different from the text and like a supporting bit of imagery. Instead of 'self consciousness' it should be ' self conscious' so this needs to change! Also I need to reconsider the typeface used to make it look more watery. The '&' needs dropping down too so that it sits within the frame, it looks uncomfortable overflowing the frame.
