choosing a typeface

I didn't factor in a font during my preproduction phase as up until recently I found the subject rather dull however when I was finishing the project off I finally realised how important it is to have a suitable type for the animation. I was unsure what I wanted to use at first so I browsed a large amount of fonts online to get a rough idea what I wanted. The font used in the title of the original comic would not have suited thing animation but I liked that it looked a bit scrappy and wanted to replicate that. A lot of the fonts I found that applied this effect well were tool large and bold which would not have fit this animation. I ended up settling on one sleeker text from online. The text in its raw form did not quite suit the visual aesthetic of the animation as the edges where far too defined it stuck in the frame too much. To rectify this problem I decided to trace the original text with the brush I used for the rest of the animation. This created a much nicer final font that suited the animation better. After this I applied some of the text effect techniques I learnt over ppp with some masking to remove the text nicely.
