Kinetic type animation using scale and extrude effects to create pseudo-morphing between letters and words.
Summary
A kinetic type animation exploring pseudo-morphing effects between letters, created with OCR-B type and built in Cavalry using scale manipulation and extrude techniques.
Visual description
White text forms and scales across a black background. The animation shifts letter shapes through continuous morphing, where characters expand and contract in scale, and the extrude effect creates dimensionality. Letters appear to transition fluidly from one form to another as if the type itself is breathing and transforming in real time.
Key takeaway
The technique of combining typographic scale shifts with extrude effects to achieve morphing that feels natural and fluid, avoiding traditional shape-tweening. OCR-B's geometric letterforms are ideal for this approach.
Reuse notes
Effective for music videos, experimental motion graphics, or any context requiring sophisticated type animation. The high contrast white-on-black keeps focus sharp. Requires motion-design software like Cavalry or After Effects; the effect works best with geometric, modular typefaces.
