Beautiful - the animation and the poem.

My experience as a truth-lover, liberator: typography brought joy to my eyes and face; I was impressed by the sociological mirror held so closely and clearly before our collective farce of face.
Ryan Simmons 3 years ago

Excellent, all the way around. Nice work Ronnie Bruce.

Beautiful work. I'd love to see more like this! Combining animated typography with the spoken word is very powerful.

That was a very very smooth and well made video. I must ask, what program did you use to do this and how did you do it? I have been dabbling in the arts of video editing myself but you have given me a very strong interest in the animation side of it.

im not sure if your typography really works to be honest. be the poem was cool.
Maggie Laush 3 years ago

Loved the typography! But I don't agree. I feel that in a bloggers' world where everyone is entitled to an opinion on everything, the loud and unrelenting ideas are overwhelming. Infusing one's speech with a sense of humility and openmindedness feels fresh and intelligent to me.
Paul Cutright 3 years ago

Funny, brilliant, beautiful, pithy and really cool typography! It too often seems that linguistic sloppiness, which comes from intellecual and cognitive laziness, has sadly become a cultural norm at certain levels of society.

I subscribe to a philosophy of "fallibilism", distinguished by philosophy Prof. Rick Roderick of the Universtiy of Texas. Fallibilism is a fervent and passionate conviction in what one believes to be true with the available information, while simultaneously holding that that information is likely incomplete and will be expanded at some point in the future, thus rendering past passionately held opinions and positions outdated and invalid, thus fallible.

This then requires the willingness to abandon the former position in light of new information, evidence and knowledge.

Isn't that, like, how open minds grow? Ya know?

The only part i liked at all about this, aside from the great poem you used, was the tree visual because it actually tried to visualize the metaphor he was making with the words he was using. everything else was bland. i'd suggest you take a tip from something like youtube.com/watch?v=HePWBNcugf8, youtube.com/watch?v=5q_SHlu9haw, or youtube.com/watch?v=ejweI0EQpX8 . Kinetic Typography != plain single font words spinning around and fitting into each other.
