Typography Experiment Surf Wax America

[Polishbojo]

I think anyone whose done this has realized that the first one usually sucks. These things take practice. Kodos to posting your first piece, not a lot of "artist" have the balls to admit they used to suck. Again, Bravo.

If you hate it so much why don't you just delete it?

[ilogikmr2]

not bad, looks like its moving way to fast lol.

[LloydHumphreys93]

Haha, never do this in flash :D

[Chazzi27]

Good job despite the limitations, After Effects is your friend for this kind of stuff :-)

[Neverendingryan]

MOuse Trap! Don't get so down on yourself.

[loolaash]

okay dude. seriously. bad timing and bad use of font. I think this could be better if it were re-worked. Also, CAREFULLY look at fonts to choose from.

[lovetheska]

i know...

i know...

i think the exact same things when i look at my old videos!

but ya.

*hi-five

i have some other stuff over at youtubecom/cinnamonsugardesign

[Anihilist]

Great Job

[CandRprod]

Amazing

[thewebcompany]

Yep I tried 1 in flash... freaking painful, plus never finished; plus I now hate flash.

Plus when I worked out the software that does the job ...my dog didn't get a walk for over a week. It kinda gets addictive. But the dog learnt to like two songs.. LOL

Nice 1

[makabaerli]

*lol* The end is especially cute - when you say you're finished while the music goes on, but you're fed up *lol*

Also I think it's a cool video! When saying it's bad, you're really just fishing for compliments! ;-)

[carnageoffender]

Awesome work.

You have the makings of a great entertainer.

Keep it up.

[Forevershade]

I agree...don't be so modest. I thought it was great. Nice musical choice, too.

[boinky333]

I find Flash easy to use. What else do you use for this kind of stuff?

[carnageoffender]

Very well done considering it was flash.

keep it up.

[garciadag]

how did you get the audio and the video to sync in flash???/, i mean when you export it as a video, i lost the audio sync when i converted plus the quality is really crappy to be able to upload the video here, any suggestions???????

[lovetheska]

you probably just need a faster computer. idk. you can change the video output settings so it's not as crappy.

[Trancifranci]

vert nice job!

what software did u use 2 do it?

thanks

francesca

[lovetheska]

this was flash.

use after effects.

[desaad37]

I think you did a great job. Esp. for it being your first time trying. I think people only harshly criticized you because you typed "this is really bad" in the ABOUT section. Personally, I like it a lot. I actually thought you did this in After Effects until I read more.

[ductapesuprhero]

hey bud, you show promise in the animation side, but as you admit, your typigraphy itself really needs some work. A *great* place to get the basics of typography down is a book called The Elements of Typographic Style, written by Robert Bringhurst.

[lovetheska]

shut up! jk. thanks. i guess.

[redelius]

nice done. but I think you should work with it more. the movement is to stiff. try to work more with the motion curves to smooth out things more

[karinaprado602]

this was actually pretty awesome. surfing. typography. two things that i really like!

[GoRoyk]

witch program did u use?

[lovetheska]

I used flash, but after effects is better.

[dkcre8design]

That was good... I've tried with Flash After Effects is so much easier

[toothpik00]

thats good man, don't be so modest... it makes the rest of us look bad lol

[jerryzorrol]

good job if you use a bit motion blur it would be even better

[heyfreedom]

that was actually very good. clever with a lot of humor. keep goin'!

[lovetheska]

freaking sweet!

[alyssabrianne]

my mom said shes impressed[: lol

[alyssabrianne]

dangggggggg. thats awesome!
