Another religious kinetic type

H.E.L.P.

I don't know why but I really love these religious, poetry kinetic type videos. This is another one from duck rabbit studios. The timing and the motion of the type is impeccable, as well as the creative and unique ways they animate the text with different graphics. Its so hard to find kinetic type that doesn't have either words or a song in the background. Kinetic type without words or music is really rare from what i can find. Anyway, I'm becoming a big fan of this animation studio, and hopefully i will keep stumbling upon their work.

Powerful, religious kinetic type

G.O.L.F.

This is an extremely powerful and strong kinetic type video. Although its not our exact project specifications for project 1, the video was done so well i had to post it. The spoken poem mixed with the high quality animations and perfect choices for typography made the video flawless. Well done. The video was made by duck rabbit studios. They are a fairly prestigious film and animation company. They have done work for several huge companies like Coca Cola, Puma, Doritos, and Converse. I really enjoy their work, especially this one. Well done.

Voiceless Kinetic Type Video

Voiceless Kinetic Type Video

Although this video uses a lot of video and motion graphic elements, i decided to post it because the timing of the text is perfect, and that is an element i am having trouble grasping. It gives you just enough time to read it and let it sink in before it fades away in smoke. Fantastic, unique Kinetic type video. It was created by Rick Thompson, who has a huge majority if kinetic type videos and they are all very well done.

Relatable Kinetic Type Video

Kangaroo Song - Big Daddy Kinetic Type

The above link is a decent kinetic typography video. It doesn't have extremely good effects, but its at the level that I believe I can produce. Plus, it is text only, which is the same restrictions we have for project one, which is why I choose it. The video is actually very well done and well organized. It emits the emotion that the audio is expressing, plus, the creator uses the text in a great way. For example, when he uses the text to create a hockey stick and a hockey goal. The creator of the video is Jonah Saesan, who is a student with a kinetic type assignment, which gives me inspiration because he is in the same spot that I am.

Example of Kinetic Type: "The Alphabet" by Alessandro Novelli


The Link above is a video I found of a marvelous and beautiful example of kinetic type. The video is simply an animation of the whole alphabet, letters A through Z, and each letter is shown by a different font that starts with that letter. Sounds boring, but it is truly beautiful and had my unbroken attention the entire time. Each letter flows seamlessly into the next by using liquid-like transitions. The video has great flow and never seems to pause. It seems to be animated by hand which is even more incredible. Plus, I love the vintage, classic style of the video, but that's just me. The video was created by the founder and director of the design studio "n9ve," Alessandro Novelli. He is known for his work in "Passion of the Christ," and "Pride and Prejudice." He is mostly a stunt performer and stunt coordinator, but he does work as a director and designer. Finally, this video relates to our first class project because it is a great example of text-only kinetic type and shows the beauty of typography and fonts as a whole.
