See all Show me
Matt and I decided long ago (early 2006) that we wanted to enter the 7th annual film festival held at Art Institute of Schaumburg called Artimation. Our goal was to make a stand that the Graphic Design majors could very well enter and compete in a very video & animation filled world.

That said, we decided to do a typographical motion graphic piece to one of The Hush Sound's songs. We love the band, we love typography, we love design, and we love motion graphics. Heavily inspired by motion graphics studio MK12, we decided to try our shot at it.

Keep in mind that this was our first ever After Effects project. We taught ourselves the application just to get a submission in. Four+ days straight went into this bad boy, with necessary 5:00am McDonald's Breakfast stops.

** Inducted into Artimation 8 for this year's film festival, yay! **

** Special thanks to Darren Wilson for giving us permission to do this project in the first place. All the sweat and tears put in this was for you guys. **

** More thanks to all the bloggers and designers who have plugged our video, you guys totally kick ass. **

    Very nice :-)

    Did you guys use a tutorial to start with this stuff?
  • Mig Reyes plus 2 years ago
    Thanks! The only tutorials we did were videos in getting accustomed to the After Effects interface. Everything after that was exploration… a great way to learn.
  • James Harding plus 2 years ago
    ahhhhh...

    This video is my fave typography video on the net...love the song and the animation :-)

    I just finished making one for school: vimeo.com/4848048 the "typography

    It is pretty crappy, but it was a fun little experiment :-D...

    Hello,

    first of all congratulations for your video, really nice!!

    i wanted to ask you if you could help me. i am in my final year of Graphic Design and i am doing my final major project on Kinetic Typography, due to there are not too many studies about it, as you know. I have prepared an interview about this area of Motion Graphics, and seen your work i am really interested about your points of view and about how you see the development of this type in motion.

    The interview wont take you long, and i would do it via email. so please if you can dedicate some of your time let me know in

    ursula.morollon@gmail.com

    and i will send you the questions.

    thank you!!! and i hope i hear about you soon!

    LUV great KT, but somehow this amazing project hadn't come up in vimeo searches. this is just about the best one i've seen, hands down.

    and so, shout out from 'cross the Lake, an ode:

    4 days' insanity
    complete AE newbies
    powered by mickey-D's
    holding off on the sleep
    for results so quality
    is cause for felicity!

    no doubt working w/THS makes it more fun. fun band.

    on another note, i actually linked to this project in search of the HOW conf talk WYDLIDS, pulled the pdf, would love to see the clip if it's up.

    luv,
    mat in GR
