This entry is part 1 of 3 in the series Animated Homage to Bruce Lee

Create an Animated Homage to Bruce Lee – Day 1
Create an Animated Homage to Bruce Lee – Day 2
Create an Animated Homage to Bruce Lee – Day 3

In this tutorial Markus walks us through the creation of a video accompaniment to Bruce Lee’s ‘Be Water’ philosophy. It features vibrant motion typographic sub-titles, animated illustrations and clever camera techniques. The training will be split over 3 days for a total of 71 minutes of tutorial video.

In day 1 of the training Markus designs and animates the typography for the video. This tutorial is an excellent compliment to Markus’s ‘Create Rhythmic Motion Typography‘ tutorial and demonstrates some more advanced typographic techniques.

Hey, great Vid and tutorial. I really like it. But one questions: Where do you got those graphics from ? Ist there something like an online archive for such graphics or have you collected them one by one as time went on?

Hi,
How do you turn on the audio while you’re scrubbing through?
I can only do the ram preview with audio by hitting the “0″ numpad button…
You seem to be able to drag the scrubber along to get the right frame with the sound.
Please Help.
Thanks

Patrick
I have exactly the same problem, please help :(

To preview your audio in AE while scrubbing the timeline just hold down the command key. Apple key on Mac. (Pretty sure but don’t have AE open at the moment. If it’s not the command key then it’s the alt key. Option key on Mac).
Nice tutorial!

hi!
How do u position the anchorpoint to the bottom left corner of the text? Cause i looked over this awsome tutorial and all the text markus creates has a bottom left corner anchorpoint by default, whenever i make a new text the anchor point is somwhere random…and i have to re-position it using the pan tool, which is not very effective considering there are quite a few layers to go through, a good word of advice from a friendly professional would be great!
thanks in advance!

Great tutorial, but if a beginner was to follow this (as all tutorials should be towards them) then they would have a very hard time. You speak way to fast and move way to fast through the video for a novice to understand what you are doing. I myself had a little trouble understanding where you were going and what you were doing. You shouldn’t have cut out so much of what you were doing also. A novice needs to see how all the parts are done and not just one or two parts.
Nice effect but work needs to be done on presenting these things in a video tutorial format.

Hey… I saw the ‘what you’ll be making’ video and I really want to view the tutorials but it says that I have no plugin for the tut and the other three that follow… I tried using different browsers and even different computers.
Please let me know what I can do/how I can fix the problem….
