Assignment · Project 1: Kinetic Typography Quote

Weeks 1–3 · Runtime 15–20 seconds · Weight 10%

Brief

Animate a favourite quote using eased keyframes and text animators, loosely synced to a music beat. Goal: smooth motion with zero robotic linear movement.

Classes that build it

• Week 1 — Course Intro + Keyframes
• Week 2 — Text Animation
• Week 3 — Project 1 Wrap-Up

Must deliver

• A single comp, 1080p, exported as H.264 MP4
• At least three distinct text-animator moves
• Every keyframe eased — no default linear motion

How it's graded

Scored on the course rubric (0–100) × 10%. A project that is portfolio-ready (80+) lands at the A/B boundary. See the Course Overview for the full rubric, then self-review before you submit.

Submitting your work

• Render your final movie to spec (H.264 MP4, 1080p, at the project's frame rate).
• Upload the rendered movie only — do not upload the project, AE files, or source files.
• Archive your project (collect files) into a single compressed ZIP for your own records.

See the course's Rendering and Submission pages for the exact steps.
