EXTRAS: Animated Titles

Whilst planning for my music video, I mentioned that I wanted to feature animated titles at the start of my video. Now that I’ve got round to editing my music video, I have made this animation featuring the title of the song I chose (see below for a less high quality version).

I made this animation using the app Procreate on my iPad, by making the original flat title and then combining it with a second layer where I had moved the words and shapes around. I then saved the layers as an animated HEVC with a transparent background so it could be inserted into my video using the ‘picture in picture’ function in iMovie. This gives the the titles a simple animated feel and looks more dynamic than just text. Below are the two frames in higher quality.

I used the same method to create the ‘stupid’ and ‘ugly’ graphics that feature later on in the video (see below), and I may create more simple animations as I continue to edit my video if I feel like they would improve my video.
