Word play is going to become a background project... something to do with uninspired time.

Unfortunately, I am too inspired by everything that I have become uninspired (if that makes any sense).
Not particularly happy with that but been working on it for a long time. 
Really easy, especially compared to A-a. I don't think I spent even 10 minutes on this one.
The computer generated D-d transition.
I am going to do all of the Upper to Lower transitions generated. Letters like C, K, O, S, X, and Z should be relatively easy, compared to G, R, or M. Letters that have dots ("i" and "j") may pose a challenge, as I am their uppercase counterparts don't have them (and I am not sure how I would fuse them)
CG E-e
I should explain the work I need to do to to produce this.
First, I have a folder full of the 26 comps (named Capital-Lowercase Transition, e.g. A-a Transition).

I need a white solid in each of all of them so when I export the 15s versions, the screen isn't black for 15 seconds.

Then I need the text. Each comp has two text layers (one upper, one lower).

I can't edit the path of the text, so I need to convert it to a shape. For this, I added a custom shortcut (control + Z) so I didn't have to do it the slow way. The scale is turned to 600%.

Then, the letters split themselves into groups. The first is same number of paths and negative paths (A, C, D, F, H, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z); the second is greater negative in either the upper or lower (B, E, G, and R) and the last is the letters with a greater number of paths in one of the states than the other (I and J).

The first is the typically the easiest, but there is a subset of the group: similar shape to in uppercase and lowercase. This includes C, L, O, P, S, T, U, V, W, X, and Z. F, H, and Y could be in this group, but they are too far of a deviation. These are/will be/were easy. 

I edit the anchor point and position so they are both 0, 0. I center the anchor point on the 0,0 point and change the position to 960,540 so it is centered in the comp.

I copy the lowercase path keyframe to the capital, so it can actually change.

Next, I have to edit the path because the CG "smart" animation inverts itself during the animation (see CG D and E)

I then change the capital anchor point to match the lowercase, during the animation
This isn't the CG version because it was extremely easy to edit this. I didn't actually need the Capital path, since I just brought the bottom of the dot and the top of the line to the space between them at the beginning.
Initial CG is my "Alpha stage," and speed up (to 7.5%) is my Beta stage. I probably won't upload the Alpha stages to Behance because they are too long (they are uploaded to YouTube though)
This one I think I am going to leave as is. It isn't nearly as bad as the other ones.
Organized the mp4 files: Cap-lower_Alpha/Beta in folders
For some reason G-g was not uploaded? Or even exported? Here it is:
