update

soo the past few weeks ive been working on both projects in after effects. I have been reading through the flatland ebook and adding each word individually to my after effects composition, i have been working backwards with this project because i want all the words to go together to make the word flatland at the end, so because i have been working backwards i havent output my work to video yet but ive taken a couple of screenshots of how its looking soo far

update

okay so after waiting for the adobe cs5 programs to come , they are finally here and i have installed them and started work on this project. For the audio i found a podcast on itunes with this book on so i downloaded it and i am going to use this for my kinetic typography video. I also had the idea that all the text would make up the word 'flatland' at the end of the video so i have already started laying out all the text before i animate it. soo far i am about half way through laying out the text. after i have done all this i will focus on animating the individual words and thinking about colour and backgrounds.
