This probably isn’t quite what the definition of Kinetic Typography calls for: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=NLlGopyXT_g

Most of these, like the Ocean’s 11 one, evoke the style of 60s intros and stuff.

Anyone seen anything else worthwhile?

I was digging that list until Citizen Cope. That guy makes me hate white people and music.

Shit, there’s a lot of this stuff, mostly student work, on Youtube it seems. Time to spend hours surfing related links.

Well, I was interested until the part where he claimed that XML was created to separate formatting from content.

I thought I’d resurrect this thread for an amazing specimen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4sOfO8Ei1g

Nice contribution, rei. That was awesome.

I read that as kinectic typography at first.

Same, and when Kinect was announced I couldn’t read it without reading “kinetic”.

That’s quite the mindspace turnaround from Microsoft.
