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:
Streetlight Manifesto – Point Counterpoint
Made with SWiSHMax

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)

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.
