A Remarkable Relationship

what font did you use?

[SpearofDestiny0]

Pretty good, love the type, my only critique would be the animation of the illustrations. But for a motion graphic piece, not bad at all ! Love your videos !

[maggierawrs]

I love kinetic typography! And you do it really well. It was really fun watching this, and I actually feel like I learned things that I'll remember, a lot because of the visual aids.

Question, though--I read in the comments that you did the motion stuff in after effects. Are you self taught or did they teach you at RISD?

Nice job! :)

[TravelJoe2010]

Were the pictures done in Illustrator?

[kaylaTRON]

Karen, this was really great. Very interesting :]

Good choice making Bill the narrator.

[helenzebcharles]

Brilliant stuff :)

[onebre]

solid work

[xperpetualmotion]

Thanks Bre :)

[loquaciouskook]

Fantastic work. I don't know enough about what you do to comment intelligently, but I feel like the Pope with Michaelangelo in that Monty Python skit... 'I may not know much about Art, but I know what I like.'

Loved Bill Martin in the narration. Good choice.

[xperpetualmotion]

haha, nice quote. Thanks so much :)

[WeirdyIsHere]

This is really well done :)

Made me learn quite a lot :)

[xperpetualmotion]

Thanks so much for watching :)

[Chocaz]

waw this was really educating and fun to watch=) well done Karen!

[xperpetualmotion]

Thanks!

[hubertcumberdale2008]

Awesome job K. How long did it take to put everything together?

Maybe you can give me some tipps on how to use after effects properly.

I bow my head in respect to you little Miss.

[xperpetualmotion]

Thanks :) I did the bulk of the work between Sunday and Wednesday, but some of the illustrations were done before that.

[ghostwritten87]

This was gorgeously put together :) Amazing visuals. And Dr.Noise was the perfect choice for the narrator - think he has a bright future in the voice-over business! :)

[xperpetualmotion]

Thanks Ruth :)

I love this so much. You're an amazing artist Karen.

[xperpetualmotion]

Thank you so much :)

[phampants]

Wow. THis is really good and informative Karen. Also, kudos for getting Bill to do the narrative. His voice is quiet soothing. Bill, if you're reading this, feel free to laugh at me

[xperpetualmotion]

Thanks :)

[kcumminx]

Wow. That's amazing.

What program did you use? It's very clean and well put together. <3

[xperpetualmotion]

Thanks! I drew everything in Illustrator and animated it in AfterEffects.

[SharkeyeJones]

[xperpetualmotion]

haha, not by a long shot.

[SharkeyeJones]

but still pretty coool! i'd like to do the narration on the next one.

[vasniltere]

Very professionally made. I hope there is something we can do to save the horseshoe crab. the world just wouldn't be the same without them.

[xperpetualmotion]

Thanks! Yes, definitely. And if you watch the movie you can see just how much they impact our lives every day.

[PaulSaysThings]

this video is AWESOME! Bill seems really great for voice overs. Makes me want to have him tell me bedtime stories every night.

[xperpetualmotion]

haha, he should definitely release a CD of bedtime stories xD

[PaulSaysThings]

YES! He's already got Gus is a Bug.

[hopeonatenspeed]

Thanks! I did it in Illustrator and AfterEffects :)

[outofmyelement]

Ooh, awesome! I'll be taking classes emphasizing both of those programs next semester. I'm quite excited.

[Friendswobenefits]

Bill has such a cool voice.

[xperpetualmotion]

I know, right? Everyone in my class thought it sounded so professional :)

[shessomickey]

Beautiful! Great job -- perfect choice for the voiceover (=

[xperpetualmotion]

Wow this is awesome, and Bills voice is PERFECT for that :) really nice :) I hope you got an A!

[theoriginaledi]

This is a lovely video, Karen, and a fantastic topic. I hope it earns the high grade that it deserves!

And Bill! You've been hiding a talent, you scoundrel. Great job! Do more of this kind of thing, wouldja?!

[xperpetualmotion]

Thanks so much :)

[fizzylimon]

Really well done, Karen! It looks really professional and on the cutting edge of advertising style--so I'd say you've definitely got a career there you could look into! (Not that I'm giving you advice, because I hate it when people tell me what to do like they know more about my degree than I do, but it is a really interesting similarity!)

[xperpetualmotion]

Thanks! And yeah, that is something I'm interested in :)

[hypedragon]

Bill was the perfect choice for narration. His voice is amazinggg :) Cool video as well :) Great animations!

[xperpetualmotion]

[sepiasunrise]

So did not imagine that Bill as a narrator, he sounds so.....well narrator-y! :-)

[xperpetualmotion]

[devilishlypure]

Awesome work, Karen and Bill! I still think Bill should be narrating stuff on TV...

[xperpetualmotion]

The first time I played it for my professor he thought Bill worked in radio xD

[tchanabc]

[xperpetualmotion]

I drew the images in Illustrator and animated them in AfterEffects :)
