Motion Graphics assignment…for myself

I’m going to do a typography animation in After Effects similiar to the one linked at the bottom to a song entitled “Queen of Apology”, by The Sounds.

It’s very visual and I think it would be a fun challenge if I work slowly towards my goal. My problem is rushing things and procrastination, so hopefully I can set up a work schedule to get this done.

It would be also an impressive work to go in my animation portfolio. Anyway, go watch the video.

Example of what I’m going for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syf8olcM0z4&fmt=18 

Lyrics:

Quick fix and heartbeats, gets me so easily
Now you got me on my knees
This will be the death to me
Tic tac, time goes by, hits me so suddenly
How you knock me off my feet
I’m the Queen of Apologys

Now I’m fighting this feeling
but it never stops, never stops
I’m still waiting
And I’m stuck with this feeling
will it ever stop, ever stop?
I keep trying

I blame no one, but myself
so honestly, is this how it’s gonna be?
Tell me, who’s the enemy?
Monkey on my back keeps me so desperatly
How you got me on my knees
This will be the death to me

So sick of this feeling
but it never stops, never stops
I’m still waiting
And I’m stuck with this feeling
will it ever stop, ever stop?
You see, I’m still shaking
And I’m fighting this feeling

This will be the death to me
I’m the Queen of Apologys

And I’m fighting this feeling
but it never stops, never stops
I’m still waiting
And I’m stuck with this feeling
will it ever stop, ever stop?
I keep trying
And I’m fighting this feeling
And I’m stuck with this feeling
will it ever stop, ever stop?
I keep trying

This will be the death to me
This will be the death to me
I’m the Queen of Apologys
