1. iQ font - When driving becomes writing / Full making of
3 years ago
Two typographers ( Pierre & Damien / plmd.me ) and a pro race pilot (Stef van Campenhoudt) collaborated to design a font with a car.
The car movements were tracked using a custom software, designed by interactive artist Zachary Lieberman. ( openframeworks.cc )

congrats to all!
great typographic experiment.
@ which frame rate were you capturing the video ?
any plan to release this great " 4 colors tracking "piece of software ?
to try to answer, the video was captured at some form of HD (@wireless knows), but the tracking software was working on split of that footage that was 720x576 (pal) resolution.
I've thrown up the last version of the software, which should compile without problems in OF 0.06 here:
is.gd/1EP6w
in the next few days I'll try to provide some more info about how it works.
and like Zach says, a pal signal (at 25 fps) was coming in the computer for realtime tracking.

the song is called "breech this trust"
but i don't know if it will be useful ;)
It looks like Fontforge can do it:
fontforge.sourceforge.net/multilayer.html
thanks for the font
Amazing!!
what is it? sounds intresting.

the font is just for mac ?
however, very good idea!!
Edit: Not trying to be rude, it just irritates me when people spend so much energy (literally) and there doesn't seem to be any greater goal to it that to promote your designagency or whatever. I love the playfullness of you project, I really do, and the tech is cool as hell, I just wish you had wanted to add an environmental message to it when you first have choosen to use a car as your "brush".
sincerely trying to understand your criticism, but your message is getting lost via unnecessary crudeness.
personally, I think there are other messages inherent in a project like this beyond the environmental message (which is important, don't get me wrong), like encouraging curiosity, showing people a different view of the world, showcasing an interesting collaboration, all things in my book that are reasonable goals.
plus (and I'm totally not in the advertising world, so don't take this part of my response the wrong way) it's showcasing a small car (that's fairly green, tbh), and showing a different view on it. I know it's not an electric car, but still, I think projects like this might have the potential to help people see different options in the marketplace.

congratulations.
i'm curious though, what software did you use to design the font itself?
like the clips that show you working in the font software, editing the lines. was the fontographer? or something else?
The font designers used FontForge, wich is free software you can find here:
fontforge.sourceforge.net/
what's the last movie you watched? I bet the making of that film was also quite a waste.
or maybe you should stop using the internet because that's also a waste
