Kinetic Typography - Based off of Stella Young’s TEDTalk: “I’m not your inspiration, thank you very much!”

This animation was for a Visual Aesthetic's Class in the Elon University iMedia Masters Program. We had to pick a section of a well-known speech or TEDTalk and animate the text of that speech using After Effects. I chose Stella Young's TEDTalk: "I'm not your inspiration, thank you very much!" as it relates to my passion of disability rights and other pieces relating to disability advocacy.

ROLES: I illustrated and animated the graphics, and edited the audio.

SOFTWARE: Adobe Illustrator; Adobe After Effects; Adobe Audition.
