Vibrate Higher (3K). This was a personal project I created, in order to experiment and develop my own animation skills. It all started from a simple type animation, which I then expanded upon, until we have what you see here. Using the 'Vibrate' theme as a bit of a jump off point, I started to put some ideas together. 

To animate the text I used a series of specific animators such as Trim Paths, Tracking and Opacity. By creating a 3D composition, I was able to rotate it around a point in 3D space and scale it up across the length of the video. To get the ripple background, I used the Radio Wave effect with varying life expectancies, and saved it out. Then through Caustics I could create some Displacement Maps which gave the appearance of these water droplets in a lake kind of effect, which was able to distort my type animation.

By using multiple different effects and overlapping them, I was able to get these dynamic final outcome, with some rather vivid colours. Really enjoyed working on this one and looking to increase the scope of my animation skills further still!
