Kinetic Typography

This is a relatively new craze. The rules are simple:
1.) Find a song, sound clip from a movie, or pretty much anyone talking
2.) In After Effects or Flash, use only typography to compose a video.

YouTube has a whole lot of these videos, most of which are school projects. These are a few of my favorites:


Pulp Fiction - The first Kinetic Typography I ever saw.



Citizen Cope - Starts slow but just wait. It gets good. Really good.



Dane Cook - Enough said.



Nina Simone - Simply lovely.

Kinetic type samples are great! I must admit having spent over a year on the Texaco brand standards I shed a tear when I saw type on the Texaco logo.
