type + motion = awesome.

If you thought print/screen typographical works are cool, you should take a look at some of these works featuring kinetic typography. Below are ten works you might want to spend your afternoon watching, and I assure you, they're pretty fantastic stuff.

1. Look What You've Done - *redkidOne

This is one of the best pieces I've seen. The music's pretty cool, but they typography will just blow you away.

2. Pulp Fiction in Typography (YouTube) - FanTent
Amazing movie, here's the "What does Marsellus Wallace look like?" scene in typography.

3. Typography from Vancouver Film School (YouTube) - Yerom
So just what is typography? The VFS explains through this old-school movie. You've got to love their ending quote, "A good typographer is one who communicates a point of view with skill and imagination, and makes the type taste good."

4. Wedding Crashers: The Perfect Girl in Typography (YouTube) - daftcain
Pretty awesome stuff here too. The use of imagery with typography is perfect.

5. Zoolander Typography (YouTube) - LinziBergmann
More stuff from the movies. This time, The Derek Zoolander Centre for Kids Who Can't Read Good! Nicely executed and great colours here.

6. This is Wanted (YouTube) - eightgr
And here's a viral ad campaign for This Is Wanted held in 2007.

7. Who's on First? Typography (YouTube) - Jimmy073
And while you're at it, have a little laugh while you're watching this. A comedy sketch rendered in typography (:

8. Full Metal Jacket in Motion Graphics - AMC bumper (YouTube) - BrandonLori
And another confrontation here, now military style.

9. IjCEETGpOo"Phonebooth Typography Animation (YouTube) - marcusezikel
This is fantastic. Very sleek with great visuals.

10. bGhC47NSmY"Choose (Trainspotting) (YouTube) - destrado04
Trainspotting's another fantastic movie. Here are the opening lines, in their full, dynamic, typographical glory.

If you're looking to give kinetic typography a try Adobe After Effects would be a good place to start. (:
