"I shall call him squishy..."

Recently I have created a kinetic typography piece using 18 seconds of sound from Finding Nemo (a pixar production). I used garage band to trim the sound to the 18 second piece I needed. I used Adobe Flash CS6 to create the actual animation itself. The animation consists of animated words timed to the sound to create a visual piece to compliment the sound. The first thing seen in the piece is thick blue text rising across the screen. The text says "hey little guy" and is timed with the character Dory. The next thing to be seen is orange text appearing as being heard. This text says "you wanted to go over the trench." The next group of text displayed is blue and moving from right to left ac ross the screen. Next is the build up of letters oas the characters voice becomes more and more higher pitched. Until finally the character(dory) is stung by the jelly fish and the screen flashes blue. Next is again the same orange text saying "dory that was a jelly fish". This sund and text is important as it gives context to this situation and why dory got stung. Next is the two characters now angry at said jelly fish and then all the text is 'flicked' to right.

In my story board I planned to have the text spiral out at the end instead of flick to right. But i couldn't make this work out the way I wanted to. I tried but i couldn't make it look the way I wanted it to.
I over came this challenge by changing my original design to something simpler and something I knew I could over come.

This is my completed work over to the right. Enjoy!
