Adobe After Effects - Kinetic Type

This is my step-by-step on how i created my kinetic type animation.

We started off going online to find a royalty free song to make our animation to, i picked Flux Without Pause - Adventures In Story Telling.

I then listened to it to pick out some of the lyrics as i would be using this for my animation.

We moved into Illustrator and created 3 panels with our lyrics on them, as the song is quite bold, i went for a bold font.
