The Dumbest Kinetic Typography Ever


A kinetic typography of Dumb and Dumber, a movie I watched a few thousand times as a kid probably. Jim Carrey makes any video project fun.

Difficulties: Finding a movie I wanted to use took me a long time because most of the time a hilarious scene does not have enough dialogue. When working on the animating, I found the toughest part was when I began to have a dozen or two things moving on the screen at once, and because they had to do so many independent things, pre-composing was not always the best solution to organization. After that, it was just figuring out what font or image would be the most comical for what was happening, and why is it so hard to find a picture of a damn stamper?

When Water Bottles, Attack! (Disintegration)


The most dangerous species to man, caught on tape!

Difficulties: shooting all the scenes correctly so it really looked like I threw the bottle to my back left and have James catch it from his front left, and have it look like the camera only shifts to the left a little and not like I had to shoot all these shots in different areas of a room.
