short kinetic video

This is a very short kinetic video. It is really cool to see how people do all sorts of different types of kinetic typography. This wouldn't exactly work for my project because there were other graphics in it, and we aren't supposed to use graphics in ours. It was cool how the text can be shown anyway we want that it is read in a book. The text can appear from bottom climbing to the top.

Dane Cook Kinetic type

This was a very accurate kinetic type video. When he emphasized certain words the text got bigger and bolder. It was really fast and the font ran into each other nicely. I really like how when he said a word for a longer amount of time than usual, the text showed that by being extended. I also like all the other stuff the text did such as bounce around and becomes fuzzy. It was very accurate to what he was saying, but I have to remember no one will be talking during my video.

Facebook kinetic typeography

I really like how this video worked together. It was cool that the entire thing was the face book font and the background was the same color as the face book logo. I like how when words were being emphasized in the video, they got bigger and when the word "tall" was being used, the letters got much bigger than what they were before. Once the entire video was up, the video zoomed out onto everything that was said and showed the face book letter "f" It had a really good ending to it.

Exam Results Kinetic type

This video is nice, but it doesn't necessarily work for our kinetic type project. It works in this video because it matches the speakers voice. If the guys wasn't talking along with the words, then the type would probably be moving way to fast. I do like how society is used a lot in the piece and as it switches its context, all the other words get blurred and society stays sharp until the next sentence comes up.

How to be Gorgeous video

All the different font variations work really well for this video. the words "Cute" and "fluffy" reflected what they were saying. The text was also really fast in this video. It was cool how they blurred the background and used the type to make a cloud. I really liked all the different colors to reflect the mood also. That is something I really need to start thinking about different colors I can use in my video to reflect mood and really emphasize what I am saying. For instance, in this video they used pink and bubble letters when talking about love. It was a very interesting video and I enjoyed watching it. I feel like it will be a fun project to do.

Poem Kinetic type

This type video is probably something I would see with our first project. It focuses on one poem, just as we will be focusing on one phrase. It is really cool how the type gets very small and grows bigger. As it grows bigger the texts starts dancing on the page and comes closer and closer to the screen. There are many different type sizes in this video giving it that effect to move back and forth. I like how the type moves and portrays the motion of the text make a circle. It also gets very confusing and all over the place when the text overlaps and twirls around the screen. It was interesting to see.

Seven Lives


 It is very interesting watching kinetic type videos. I have never seen any of them before. This is really cool. I like the way the type moves around the screen. It shows the inflection that would be used in reading the story. I like how the text works together to form into the next text. This video is good to get an idea of kinetic type, but it wouldn't work for our project because it has graphics in it. In our project we are not supposed to use any graphics at all. We can only use type and we must work a 15-30 sec video with just one phrase also.
