More inspiration for SPIN

I found this on the title sequence website. Whilst it is not typical 'Kinetic type' I like how he uses the spin of the earth to create the movement from key frame to key frame. There is also a note about the context of the piece and the how he produced this.

Nice use of colour overlays and also moving in and out of screen from front to back with type from Base

Kinetic type on the net

Some really interesting illusion and moving in and out of space. I like the fact that it does not follow the 'norm' all the way through and ends up a little' crazy' which fits with the song by Gnarls Barkley.

I think some Kinetic type is made more interesting when accompanied by music, words or with the addition of simple objects. I like the visual representation of 'spin' in this motion graphic.

The music was essential for this. I like the fast pace and also the bright colours chosen:

Very simple yet effective I like the way he used heavier ascenders to allow new words to emerge.

I would like to produce something as simple and effective as this:

The use of large thicker set letters as 'screens' for the other words is really effective. The 'blood' is signified so simply using red and the 'dripping':

The use of at least a hundred letters floating down really effective, maybe more effective if these had actually made up the words as you were reading them.
