Cool Stuff – Blink 182 Kinetic Typography Video
Has anyone been watching the Ryder Cup? I’m a golfer myself, so I can watch it on tv fine without feeling the need to call it the most boring sport in the world. But, today’s matches were as intense as golf gets in my opinion. There were more “USA!” chants during today’s matches than there are at a Republican national convention. I love how defensive we get when someone tries to detrone our amazing country in a competition, in this case Europe’s golfers. “Screw them! We’re the dag nab best country in the world. Yeee haaaa!”
Anyway, I was just sitting here bored (hence the random rant just now), and remembered a cool music video Charlie showed me on Friday. It’s a kenetic typography video some guy made while learning the After Effects animation software and what he came up with is simply stunning. The craziest part is that he didn’t know the software when he started, and had clearly seemed to mastered it by the end of the project. Look for how much more complex the video gets towards the end as his skills and confidence with the program are clearly seen improving over time. Cool stuff indeed.

More kinetic typography I randomly found on youtube (some are NSFW):
-Pulp Fiction monologue
-Fight Club Chemical Burn Scene
-Who’s On First skit
-The Big Lebowski Jesus scene
-V for Vendetta
EDIT:
Just found a nice little typography video for a Ratatat song. Obviously no words, but takes a more unique route representing the melody. I like this one a lot.
There’s like a hundred more HERE. Typography done really well is one of my favorite things. I’m sure there’s someone out there reading this that enjoys it as much as I do. This post is for you.
