Sparks Fly Upward Kinetic Typography (ft. John Green)

[the42paradox]

@devonriley415 - Alan Lastufka's album "Taking Leave", the track "The Sparks Fly Upward" featuring John Green.

And I'm sorry, because this is really fantastic and wonderful, but I feel the need to point out that you spelled oppressed wrong ( 0:19 ). But this is great! :)

[themightychickens]

@the42paradox Clearly just a typo. No big deal.

[devonriley415]

Where the heck did the audio come from?

[charlottepoet]

Great work!!

[R0totheZ]

What program did you use to make this?

[shortsisters756]

@R0totheZ Adobe After Effects :)

[shaylaluna]

This is wonderful. What did you use to do it?

[shortsisters756]

@shaylaluna Thanks so much! :) I used Adobe After Effects

[phampants]

I can totally seeing you nerding out when you made this video Monica. :)

[shortsisters756]

@phampants :P Actually, I made this ;-) - Chellie (but I agree, I totally would have thought Monica made this too if I didn't know better!)

[phampants]

@shortsisters756 Aww, sorry for my mistake Chellie. :) In that case, I'm certain you were geeking out too while making this.

Not a big fan of the organ music, maybe something subtler. But I looove this, and am very grateful it is available to me.

[crimsong19]

Um ... I hate to do this ... but you misspelled "oppressed" ...

[shortsisters756]

@crimsong19 bahaha, thanks. and that's okay, there had to be at least one typo/misspelling :P I also put "abode" instead of "bode", which is what he actually says. I'm just gonna blame it on it being my first kinetic typography adventure ;)

[TheLadyIrene]

@shortsisters756 Well he appears to be reading (or quoting) from the New American Standard Bible which actually says "abode" ... So in a way you were kinda right. In fact I'm fairly certain he meant to say abode, because that's the only option that makes sense.

Great job!!



[GlerkyDestiny]

[acrrazywriter]
