TEXT ANIMATION
To create this text animation I used After Effects as it has the effects and features that I needed to create the jittery text animation. I then created three compositions called ‘Main’, ‘Displacement Map’ and ‘Text’. I then added the Main composition to my timeline and added the others to this composition.
Firstly, I added a solid layer to the
displacement map
composition and applied the fractal
noise effect.
I changed the setting
slightly for the effect so that
the fractal type was
‘Dynamic’ and increased the
brightness and contrast.
Then I clicked on ‘Random
Seed’ and set the time to
*10 as I found this to be the right amount for the jittery effect that I
wanted.
In the text composition I used the text tool to type out the text that I wanted to have in my video. I changed the font and sizes to match those
which I have used before in my music video so create continuity.
I then changed the
displacement map layer to
the displacement map and it to
Luminance and 3.0 for max
displacement so that the text
would move slightly less as I only wanted a subtle effect.
Next, I added a
‘Displacement Map’ effect to the text layer in the main
composition.
Lastly, I turned off the visibility
for the displacement map layer so that the text
and black background were visible.
