Using After Effects

As the animator in our team, I used After Effects to animate text and images over the clips to match up with the voice overs used in our promotional film for Brighton Festival.

I used the 'write on' tool to draw on top of our clips, using the colours of Brighton Festival (blue, yellow and pink) for the text. I also animated images to illustrate one of the quotes about the speakers friends coming to Brighton from Germany to enjoy the festival.

I feel that these vibrant letters and images stand out well on the dark backgrounds of Brighton at night, and that the way I animated them works well with both the words spoken and the background music of our short promotional film.
