WHY HAS NO ONE INFORMED ME OF THIS "KINETIC TYPOGRAPHY" BEFORE??

Oh baby, is there anything better than when two great things are joined and become one super great thing? Some of my favourite things have been created by the marriage of two other favourite things (it makes a lot of sense if you think about it): Schnoodles; Cheddar Smokies (the most delicious sausages in the world for those of you not from the Prairies -- sidenote -- isn't it weird when you find out that a word you've been saying your whole life turns out to be a regional thing? I moved to Toronto and no one knew what I was talking about when I declared my ever-gnawing cravings for Smokies, they'd just smile and nod uneasily, chalking it up to another "social" tradition or something); Adam Scott and Parks and Recreation... And, now I've discovered kinetic typography and the magic of setting type (a favourite thing) to dialogue from some of my favourite movies/TV shows (and a Nancy Sinatra song (!!!)).





















The following are all dedicated to Ethan. (A rather empty gesture as I didn't make the videos or anything, just copy and pasted and thought of him but none the less...)

















What a great day for Alex and the Internet! Great day, indeed!

  1. Am I really late to the dance on this one? There seems to be tonnes of these things on YouTube already; my feelings won't be hurt if you tell me this is all really old news and I'm a frakking dinosaur who shouldn't even own a computer.
