16 Awesome And Inspiring Videos

I’m amazed at what people can do with video. It blows my mind – from light panting to animating with sand to stop motion work. These videos will inspire you to think outside the box!

Typography in Motion

A nice educational lighthearted video explaining the basics of typography. We should send this video to all the clients out there that want everything big and bold!

Pulp Fiction

Oldie but a goodie – I will never get tired of the this little clip! The typography in this video expresses the tone of the movie quote perfectly. Quite possible the best kinetic typography video i’ve seen so far!

Kinetic Typography Tutorial by Elrond Hubbard

A nice indepth tutorial on how to create a kinetic typography video. Wishing I had aftereffects now!

Sandimation

Another interesting animation technique: Animation with sand…I’ll call it sandimation!

Stop Motion Break Dancing

Funny stop motion video featuring some break dancing moves that i’m sure arent even possible :)

Rotoscoping

This video features a cool animation technique called rotoscoping.

Time Lapse

Cool time lapse video of a guy driving around a city at night. Light is always so much more intense with slow shutter speeds.

Time Lapse Design Process

Video of Mike from carsonified designing some the slides for his presentaiton at FOWD London. Pretty cool to see the process from beginning to end. Amazing photoshop skills!!!

AC Title Design

I love this little techie red/black short intro. Makes me think of Russian constructivism.

3D Typography

A quick intro spot with some awesome 3d typography effects.

Lightpainting

Creepy and serene stop motion light painting set in nature. I’ve never seen anything quite like this. Very cool!

Pipes

Animation inspired by the old ‘pipes’ screensaver

Stop Animation + Candles

A cool little spot for VH1 done with stop animation and candles. Love the low tech approach!

MTV Australia

Love the way the MTV logo gets constructed in mid air in some of these spots – and the flowing cloth as well.

Typographic Battle Scene

I love the way this video uses typography as objects in a battle scene. Check out the process work – pretty complex and amazing!

Megaman

Old school videogame enthusiasts will love this vid! Stop motion animation + cut paper + megaman theme. Wow… funny and well done!

    I wasn’t so sure about the Pulp Fiction vid at the start but it builds up and by the end its a great little video. I also like the VH1 and MTV videos as well.
