Re: [applekeynote] Re:How did they do that - Quiz 1

Yes, that’s the easiest way.

I went one further and made it hard, as is my wont. Rather than use the opacity “out” action, I reproduced each year date and then added the variation of another colour, then overlaid the duplicate. This could have utility in some contexts when you don’t want a fade, but are building a “picture within a picture”, bit like those magic pictures that were popular some time back. In other words in this context, celebrating a 60th birthday, how would it be if you rapidly pictured all the person’s years alive, but as each one faded it was filled with a little of his face, so that by the time you reached his current age, there he is in all his glory.

Not so easy, oh, but how effective!

From a few quick viewings, it looks like the dates were created with  
a simple "Appear" build with an "Opacity" action auto following with  
the durations set super low (fast). The dates were hand positioned to  
look randomly "piled". The font selection also seems to try and be  
evocative of the year. It's a simple approach, but must have taken a  
bit of time to create, even with "copy and paste" / "duplicate"
