In order not to disturb Friday's relaxation, he allowed himself to have a little fun by watching videos directly related to typography.
So far, we have managed to find two types of interesting videos from the point of view of typography:
movie titles (movie title sequence),
kinetic typography (kinetic typography).
Under habrakat I will give some rollers-illustrations and I will give links to further copying in YouTube.
Movie credits
The artistic opening credits of films began in the 1950s in the USA. The American designer Sol Bass set the bar and quality standard ( Wikipedia article , Eng.), Who in 1955 created the opening credits for the film Otto Ludwig Preminger ( Wikipedia article , rus.) “The Man with the Golden Hand”. They looked like this (pictures are clicked). ')
The second man after Saul Bass, who spurred the development of opening credits, was American Maurice Binder ( Wikipedia article , Eng.), Who made out credits in the Bondiade, starting with “Doctor No”.
After them, many designers worked on the design of titles and made a lot of excellent work. Perhaps, I will limit myself to references to the first part and to the second part of the remarkable selection of opening credits, which was widely distributed on the English-language Internet, and a search on YouTube will help you to further research and kill time.
On a tip from wayne, I also recommend the Art of the Title Sequence site, where captions are uploaded in high quality in QuickTime format.
Kinetic Typography
I don’t really like this copy from English, but it has already taken root in Russian. Kinetic typography is a text that moves and / or somehow changes its shape over time in order to enhance the emotional content of the text. I will give one of my favorite examples directly in the page, it seems to be chewed by habradwick.
