typographic animation
For this assignment I made a typographic animation to the song Calafornia Dreamin', by Mamas and Papas. a typographic animation is a song lyrics with visual lyrics to enhance the song
For this assignment I made a top 3 of certain songs, and I chose one of them.
my top 3:
- Star shopping- lilpeep
- oceaan - racoon
- calafornia dreamin'
- Star shopping- lilpeep
the meaning behind star shopping is about someone who is aware of his own shortcomings and the difficulties in his relationship. He asks his partner to wait while he works on himself. The lyrics suggest that he understands that he may not be all that his partner needs right now, but he hopes for understanding and time to change. He talks about his independence and the fact that he goes his own way without asking for help. There is also a theme of love and support, highlighting the special connection he shares with his partner amid his personal struggles.
it appeals to me because it seems strong to me and that I notice around me that every relationship has its downs, but we do not share it with each other even though that would be better for the relationships
- oceaan - racoon
the meaning behind oceaan is about the desire for escape or protection from life's challenges and pain. The lyrics describe wishing for a life without jealousy, with love to lighten the heart and a sense of security. It talks about the hope of not having to cry anymore and living a fear-free life. the meaning of this number {ocean} is a quest to find peace, comfort and emotional freedom and to get back on top.
I find this song catchy because it touches me, it is a quiet song. That is about everyday things that you need to be fear-free and relaxation and in this society that is difficult. This therefore appeals to me very much
- Calafornia dreaming- mamas en papas
California Dreamin' by The Mamas & The Papas is about the longing for warmth, sunshine and an escape from the cold and gloom of winter. The lyrics describe a person dreaming of California during a winter day. The singer wishes he was in California, where he would feel safe and warm. The song contains images of brown leaves, gray skies and the longing for a better, sunnier place. It is often considered a nostalgic longing for a place that symbolizes hope and happiness. The harmonious vocals and melody contribute to the dreamy atmosphere of the song. I think this suits me because I often suffer from winter blues and hope for better times, the song also means to me after rain comes sunshine so if something happens it will be okay
mood and styleboard
for my style board I chose a style inspired by the 60s with color patterns and fonts, i chose earth colors to present te 60s, the fonts are big and bolt and the patterns are very crowded and busy
For my mood board I have chosen a beautiful sunny day and fewer days where it rains, to present after rains comes sunshine (when you have a bad day there will be better times)
moving storyboard
Final work
This is my final work, it didn't turn out as I wanted, and my own feedback will be that next time I should spend less time at my storyboard and ask the teachers for help. It would have saved me a lot of time if the teachers had given a brief explanation of Primere Pro.
