Typography & Lyric
I was challenged to use lyrics from a song and create a lyric video in Adobe After Effects, exploring type and animation. Tears for Fears' song "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" has been a hit since its release in 1985. The success of the song is the campy upbeat tune mixed with the serious lyrics and message, which is what I really wanted to capture in my lyric video.
My Process
For my process, I started by sketching out a storyboard. I had never used Adobe After Effects before this project, so throughout the project, I was constantly learning new ways to use the program and changing my original vision based on what the program could and couldn't do. However, I did my best to stick to my original vision.
Final Design
The main goal of this lyric video was to explore typography and animation while learning Adobe After Effects. I had not used the program before, and it was so fun to teach myself and learn from others about how to use After Effects. The final video has a campy and lighthearted design with a bright 80s pop color scheme representing the song's lighthearted nature while allowing the lyrics to speak for themselves.
