1. F is for FAIL
by Brent Barson
8 months ago
F is for Fail is a short film about the creative process, and the failure we always encounter, but usually overcome. Told using the alphabet, each letter informs us of the state of the protagonist's creativity/state of mind. Each letter has two words associated with it (except A and Z); sometimes the positive word overpowers the negative word, and vice-versa.
Typographic footage was converted and exported one frame at a time. No AE filters or effects!
Creative direction, design, and animation by Brent Barson.
Music by Micah Dahl Anderson. Oscar-caliber acting by Jon Troutman.

    What a cool piece. It really conveys just how deeply emotion and tone can be communicated through typography. So glad I stumbled upon this; thanks for sharing!

    Hi Brent, So exactly how did you create the animation frame by frame? Could you explain a bit more?
  • Brent Barson 1 month ago
    I exported each still video frame as a JPEG, then finessed and converted it to vector type with a secret little standalone program :[] Then, reimported into AE as a sequence for editing and colorization, etc.
