Typeface to Kinetic Typography

The second part to this semesters work was to produce a piece of kinetic typography using the typeface I had created.

 

I wanted to find piece of audio that would go well with the typeface that was created. After scouring the Internet I came across a Bruce Lee quote, from his short lived TV series ‘Longstreet’ which was aired back in 1971.

Here is the typed transcript of the bit of audio I wanted to extract to animate the text to:

“If you try to remember you will lose

Empty your mind
Be formless
Shapeless
Like water

Now you put water into a cup

It becomes the cup
Put it into a teapot
It becomes the teapot

Now water can flow

Or creep
Or drip
Or crash

Be water my friend” – Bruce Lee

Because the quote was taken out of a conversation, I found that the audio suddenly stopped and just didn’t sound right. So I searched the Internet and found some royalty free white noise which I could edit into the background and have the audio come to a smooth stop.
