11:35 Lower Thirds
Lower Thirds are also referred to as L3s. Essentially a lower third is a non-intrusive motion graphic that displays necessary information such as name, place, fact or process. You may consider some details like:
- Typography
- Animation
- Shape
- Color
Always consider how the L3 blends with the content it is displayed with. Design does matter!
Helvetica, Lato and most Sans Serif fonts look best.
Let’s make a basic one together.
Did you know that some people make these for a living? Have a look at many of the lower thirds you can buy. Motion graphic templates are big business. Good thing we know how to make our own.
Week Six Lower Thirds Project:
- Create at least two lower thirds in addition to the one we make in class. That will earn a B.
- Make 3 lower thirds along with the one we made in class and you qualify for A status.
- Place all of your lower thirds in one Project.
- Make individual compositions for each of your lower thirds
- Combine in one final composition
- Export as .mp4 for our viewing pleasure
- Filename: CustomLowerThirds_Lastname.mp4 and drop in the Assignment Dropbox
- Save all your .aep files too!
12:15 Lunch
12:45 Working with 3D text and Cinema4D
Let’s look at the Cinema4D tool to create some animated and extruded text elements
Hopefully our machines will not crash! When using Cinema4D some effects do not work. Be sure to review the effects that do no render when you consider using. You will see a list when you choose in the composition settings panel.
