Mess around

Typographic elements animated to Ray Charles’ “Mess Around” by Kevin McDonnell

WOW, this is very good. I like the part ‘Mess around’, it’s indeed messed around so that it can’t be read. The solo’s made with typographic elements: nice. And in my favorite ‘colors’ black&white

For Gail Anderson’s “Just Type” at the School of Visual Arts MFA Design.

NYC built with Typography

Use All Five
http://www.useallfive.com

This is an experiment that explores the concept of illuminating a city through typography.

Nothing is visible except for the areas which reflect light from the text.

The words and music come directly from the great song: Interpol’s “NYC”.

Kill Bill Kinetic Typography / Motion Type

A quote from the movie Kill Bill by O-Ren Ishii, the Queen of the Crime Council.

It’s not bad, but the ‘oriental’ font seems out of place although I understand where it comes from.

Made by jordicasanueva with After Effects.

Are you ready in the real world?

Typographic motion realized for Sabina Monza (IDEP School of Arts ’06/07)

A long story, and I doesn’t seems to pick up speed. Or maybe I’ m not in the mood for a philosophical debate about design.

Streetlight Manifesto – Typography Experiment

Very nice typography on song written by Streetlight Manifesto.
Building gun and clock with words, nice!. For some reason the font used is very appropriate. And the ending is also very nice.

Story:

I used SWiSHMax to create this video, but I needed to use a screen capture tool (the reason for that watermark in the corner) to actually export it as Swish wasn’t allowing me to export it right, it kept coming out monochrome and all the text inverted.

Anyway, here it is. Took some time to make. My first time trying anything like this. Hope to do more, perhaps learn after effects. It’d be a lot more powerful.

Created by Youssef Sarhan
Music:

KO Boxing Television

Update #1: This mystery is solved: now we know who made this beautiful animation and why: Ariel Glaz contacted me, it was Typography class at the University (Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina).

Two very nice typographic intros for KO Boxing Television (don’t know if it’s real or a assignment for school, but probably for school).

The first part of the movie gets my vote:
I like the color, the old boxing font, the movement created by the punches, the dizziness and the KO!
The second movie has the same ingredients but never gives the same “punch”, but thats because it has a lot more to “say”;

Don’t know who made it, or which program is used.
It has something to do with a spanish school

Kinetic Typography – Live Out Loud

An nice example of the previous post about Kinetic Typography by Johnny Lee.

It’s made in a program written Java by Johnny Chung Lee.

I like this movie (and the one described next) because not the font or colors tell the story, but the movement of the letter. But if I have to choose, I choose ‘Live out loud’

Another nice example of kinetic Typography (I couldn’t find it on youtube):
FightClub by Monchu Chen (you need QuickTime for this movie)
