This Kinetic Typography project was created from the dialogue of Conan O'Brien's final episode of The Tonight Show on NBC. In this farewell address, he describes his feelings towards NBC and the situation at hand. His personality exudes positivity and humor allowing this dialogue to describe his character very well. Even through the hardships of leaving NBC he promotes hard work and kindness.
The concept behind this video is to show Conan O'Brien as a the monumental entertainer and solid wall that he is. Conan O'Brien is and will continue to be a seasoned television entertainer. After drawing inspiration from Lou Dorfsman's Gastrotypographicalassemblage, this concept was achieved by creating a literal wall from over 60 individual typographic layouts. These custom crafted layouts reference a variety of eclectic type design. The combination of eclectic typography and modern 3D letter forms achieved in Cinema 4D provides a contrast between old and new. This contrast emphasizes time to create a sturdy and timeless object. This solidity and timelessness is the perfect representation of Conan O'Brien.

You did a great job.
Again, great work.
Wonderful idea, great speech!
my only note is that the camera movement is too constant and too swaying, which can make for a dizzying experience.
what i probably would do is have it transition from one segment to the other faster, and let it settle to allow the audience to grasp what is actually being said.
i do think you can use the constant motion for his faster segments (especially near the end) to emphasize certain areas.
my 2 cents. other than that, great job!

Really. Great job.
1. Awesome.
2. Of course you guys have already made plates and are selling prints of the finished speech to benefit your student design group/class/school. Riiiiight? I will accept one free of charge. Thank you.
Great Typography shoots!
Have fun in this business and ask for good money even if you're a student!
Passion has to be paid!
Jobs rule it...
take care
I love when Conan says his words on.
