In Soviet YouTube, type graphs you!

Kinetic typography is one of those cool things people who are skilled in video and graphic design and whip out in a couple of hours, and flaunt them all over the internet to create new, unique tweests on our favourite scenes from our favourite movies, or quotes that have lived in in our cultural history, or some other stuff worth typing out and adding a cool temporal design to.

I’ve seen a lot of kinetic typography, and you probably have to. Scenes from Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, V For Vendetta, and a personal favourite of mine from Wedding Crashers have gained relatively large YouTube fame, and hopefully have pushed a lot of other wannabe graphic designers to test their luck and skill on After Effects, the program responsible for creating such cool designs.

It’s inspired me, but not enough to spend time fretting and raging over the intricate workings and fallacies of another Adobe Creative Suite program. I have enough of those.

I’m straying from the point. The fact is that some of these designs really do make you go, ‘Holy crap, how is that possible?’ This is one of them, and it’s not even a movie clip. It’s an entire song (a good one too, albeit highly nostalgic T__T)

Reminds me of my first iPod and original MSN Messenger. Goodbye, late 90’s.
