Kinetic Typography

How does a sentence feel, how does it express itself.
Well there’s been a study about this: it’s called Kinetic Typography:

More about Kinetic Typography and the program used for this animation. There are some other examples on this page.

Story:

The rich expressiveness of animated type has been explored for decades in film and design, however little has been done to understand it effects and ability to enhance day to day communication. The Kinetic Typography engine is a Java software library created for rendering written content as animated text. Project by Johnny Chung Lee.

Typography animation serie

I’ve written about typography animation before: Pulp Fiction in Typography

And today I found another beauty at youtube
Sadly I can’t show the movie here, so you have to go here: The Hush Sound – The Lions Roar.

And I found more nice examples, which can be embedded on this blog.
So I decided to make the next month (August), the month of the typography animation serie.
I will post a movie from youtube every day, so at the end you have seen 31 examples.

The Big Brother State

Animation: bigbrotherstate by David Scharf

Story:
The Big Brother State is an educational film about what politicians claim to be protection of our freedom but what we refer to as repressive legislation.

Since terrorism has become a global threat, especially after 9/11, governments all over the world have started enforcing laws which, so the governments say, should increase national security.

These laws obviously aim at another goal: the states gaining more and more control of their citizens at the cost of our privacy and freedom.
