37:57
Description
Work with Julian Klepper, filmmaker and artist, as he teaches you to create moving promos, which help make text come alive. The class is a fusion of graphic design and film, where you learn the step by step process of creating dynamic text.
In this class, you'll learn how to create eye catching text through digital motion graphic techniques, as well as physical cinematic experimentation. Students will learn aspects of Adobe Premiere Pro, Photoshop, filming techniques, as well as approaches to creative thinking and aesthetic problem solving. These skills are applicable beyond promo videos. Learning how to use these softwares and approach creative tasks are useful in a range of projects.
Here's how the class is structured:
- First you'll learn about fonts and where to source them (note: it’s free).
- From there, we learn how to find or create our own abstract videos we are going to need to give life to our text.
- Then we use our fonts knowledge and abstract videos to delve into the digital process of creating text that moves.
- After that, we take a nice little trip into a more advanced process of creating moving text in which each letter is a moving image.
- Finally, we leave the world of the digital and head into the realm of analog sign creation where we use a custom stencil and a camera to create another version of dynamic text.
When creating our class projects we should upload our projects online and add the hashtag #dynamictext

Instructor's CoursesI'm Julian: a filmmaker, film teacher, and the human behind Les Tigres Productions. I direct, write, edit and produce super low budget narrative movies, which I call Smoovies. Smoovies are super short films that are both in part comedic and, part dramatic, and created to purposefully examine larger topics. As of 2019 various Smoovies have screened at the New York City Independent Film Festival, Austin Micro Short Film Festival, and The Houston Comedy Film Festival. I also wrote, directed and starred in the web series: Free Therapy, for which I graciously received the Webfest Award for Best Actor.
Being half Haitian and half Jewish, my work showcases worlds where diversity is paramount and characters often belie cultural stereotypes while still being funny and honest. I am currently making more Smoovies and writing an episodic feature while opening up a live music venue and teaching a comedy/drama class in Sing Sing prison in New York City.
I have spent the last 15 years trying to perfect the super low budget film. That's what brings me to Skillshare, to share how to make incredible low budget movies. If you take my class, I hope that you don't hate me (like my one neighbor who stares at me whenever I wave or give a head nod. He's intense, which I now that I think about, is admirable.)
Check out my website to learn more about my work. Why not check out a few Smoovies while you're at it?
