A Blurb: SeaNanners Gets Serious

**UPDATE** I blogged about this little video here if you're interested: http://carmahdee.blogspot.com/2011/04/seananners-for-president-and-my-15.html

Here's my very first kinetic typography video featuring the voice of the one and only SeaNanners. The audio clip is taken from his video, "Black Ops: Why So Serious?" The original has been set to private.

I'm fairly new to using After Effects and have been trying to teach myself in my free time. I really liked the message he shared in his video and it inspired me to make this, (plus the fact that he's freakin' aweeeesooommme.) I tried to capture the feeling of a night time bike ride, which he mentioned in his video by use of colour and the CC Particle World effect I added to create the illusion of passing lights. I started making this video more than a week ago, and through many trials and errors, (including getting sick) I've exported out this version. I know it's not perfect, but it is my best, which really matches SeaNanners' wise words. Anyways I hope you enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed making it...which is a lot haha.

Anyone know the name of the song? Cant get to it now that the original video is private.

@ModernStudios00 Hi there! The song is Golden Reverie by Sunset :).

@TheFusedShadow Awww...that bums me out :(. I'm glad I have this little nugget as a souvenir. I'm unsure why he would private it...but I'm sure he had a good reason behind it.

[TheFusedShadow]

why is the original video private now?!

[dirtdevilone]

They said practice makes perfect. Then they said nothing is perfect.

Heads up to everyone, he set this video to private because the music is copyrighted, and YouTube has been making a big stink about ALL copyrighted music, monetized or not from being on any partnered channels page. He simply was avoiding getting flagged for copyright and having his channel suspended.

Also, I love coming back to this video
