Final Text Sequence

*Language Warning*

Text - Fonts and titles

I wanted to keep the printer aesthetic so I chose the standard courier new font for most of the text.

For the titles I decided to follow the title font from the original 'You Know What's Bullshit' series.

I traced the title twice and created a hand drawn wiggle animation to create a dynamic title which follows the crazy frustrated dialogue which is to come.
Elements for text sequence. Many of the test print pages were places onto pages of paper for the animation.



Other elements used in animation.

Printer Imagery

I wanted to add imagery of printer test sheets and instructions as James Rolfe discusses in the text.


Text Sequence Research

I drew inspiration from this video Pulp Fiction In Motion Graphics. I wanted a similar style of moving lines of dialogue across the screen following the emotion of the voice.

Text Sequence Idea

For my text sequence I began with a rant by James Rolfe about printers from his internet video series "You Know What's Bullshit". cinemassacre.com

*Language Warning*



I chose this because it is a fast paced funny piece of dialogue. I wanted to use this speed to have the text darting around the screen in an agitated manner similar to the way the text is spoken. I also wanted to include imagery of some of the 'junk' that printers print.

Adding a text sequence would exist as an alternate form of visuals instead of the video used in the original. It would be used to enhance the comedy of the joke.
