Eulogy for Robert F Kennedy

Here's my video... I have the whole speech in there except for the last sentence. My audio messes up when it gets to that point so I've been working on fixing it, but not having any luck so far, but any suggestions on what I have so far would be much appreciated. =)

You have made a lot of really great changes to this, and it looks really good. The only I would say, is that you might want to make some of the thin text regular, because it gets hard to read the white against the black. Other than that, I think you have really good transitions, and it flows very smoothly, Good Job!

I like the part when the "many" and "touch" drop down to the next line. Very sad speech, good mood set with movement and typeface choices.

I agree that your transitions are really nice and the tone of the typography fits really well with the tone of the speech. Can you add to your post the type of audio problem you are having, so we can see if anyone knows how to fix it?

I also had that problem with the audio cutting off at the end. Jeremy fixed it by...
1. Render the movie without the music file.
2. Open music file in QuickTime, export to AIF or MOV.
2. Combine music file and movie in iMovie.
3. Export from there.
Should solve the problem.

I forgot to say that I like your animation so far. It is really calming and somber.
I think the red line over "war" can come in just a bit later, better timing.

The background music is really loud. But I like the music, it's really good. Where did you get it?

I have loved this one from the first time we watched it in class. There is some really delicate element about it which I love! I wish the word heal was a little bolder because of the power of the word and the meaning behind it. Also I LOVE the change with the red line going through the word war, it's a very abstract way of showing the same meaning. Great job!

I like yours. and I think you gave proper mood and tone. The music and movement are nice. good.

you have done a lot of good things. i like the thin line to cross out war. the ending will be good i'm sure. i like the words going into the white. good job

I tried to render the music and movie from After effects, and it seems to be doing fine too. So you can skip all those steps if you just replace the m4a music file to a AIF.
If you think the music sounds weird (like megaphoned) do the more complicated steps. It should solve it.

I love the subtle use of color. It's very sophisticated and subtle. I had the same problem with my music and it was very, very frustrating.

Carly Hoover said...

The changes you have made look good. I really like the music. I think you did a good job of emphasizing the right words and representing them with motion.

I can tell u have made a lot of changes and I like them. I think that you could maybe have a few more types of transitions and maybe not always have the type the same size and in the same spot, just to give it more variety.

Jennifer Clark said...

I agree with Melissa, I've loved it since the beginning. I really like the tone you've set with the music and typefaces. You did a good job with the subtle use of color, I also like how you repeated the words/background changing to white again at the end. Good job, can't wait to see it finished!

Great changes!!! you have made a huge improvement!!! Good transitions and everything flows well!! Maybe add some more movement? things blown up or turning?? Just a thought.
