He's a Twitter Poet But Does He Know It?


Richard Ayoade - Twitter Poet

This series of tweets by British comedian Richard Ayoade was in my twitter feed this morning.   Whether intentional or not, I find a lot of comedians I follow tend to tweet in short stories and narratives which hilariously mimic their offline comedy styles.

  1. I loved what you did with the Twitter posts. Brilliant way to add narrative without upgrading. Plus it was just cool.

  3. The Animoto animation is a creative way to bring text to life. But the transitions were so quick that I couldn't read the Tweets, even though I viewed the file multiple times.Try slowing the transition when using text heavy element so the viewer has time to appreciate why Richard Ayoade is a Twitter Poet who doesn't know it.

    1. I know Tarra, I couldn't make it slower without going over the 30 time limit unless I cut out the last several frames of the story. If I were to do this professionally, I'd invest in the pro upgrade and definitely make it longer.

  4. Good for you Kristen! I can't believe you were able to include tweets. Interesting concept and well produced.
