Font Influence


I'm not sure if I'll create my own font yet or use a readymade one. These are a few fonts I think will suit my animation style and story. These are from dafont.com. (Each font is spelt in its name. Hence the random phrases.)

 The fonts I really like are Nightbird, Oh No, Oh Shit, I Still Know and Lakeshore Drive. I don't want my text to be in capitals so I hope that the fonts Nightbird, Oh Shit, I still know and Lakeshore Drive have lowercase letters available.

I wasn't planning on animating my text because it would just appear with the plain background or just fade up. However I found this example and I think it could look quite cool with my animation if it was done at a slower pace and with a simple, scary font I have chosen. 
 
The second example could also work if my text went from a faded red to whatever coloured text I want to end with.
The third video I like the flickering of the text. It is simple but really effective and could go really well with my animation. 
Fourth Video: Another example of the flickering effect. I think I will go with this idea because the smoother animated fonts won't go too well with my theme or style of animation. The flickering will look very effective and not distracting from the animation also.

Final Style: Flickering Animated Text.
