Barack Obama - Just Words? Kinetic Typography to Commemorate his Inauguration Speech

[chicagofan46]

Great speech

Love obama

god created the men, and guns make them equal

[BigDaddyDJD]

its interesting, at the end when you zoom out you see Obama and his promises for what they are... just words in the shape of a man

[DanReborn]

A President, a government, will only make changes.. for the worse. The only good change would be a dissolve of government, a dissolve of power. Let people be socially and economically FREE! Anarchy

[thomaseo]

It'd be great if people could see past the person, listen to the speech itself, and watch the medium in which that speech is being presented. As an analogy, people who can't do that are similar to the racist who couldn't see past Martin Luther King's color and realize his "I Have a Dream" speech to be very inspirational.

As for me, I find the typography pretty good, with my only criticism against the "We hold these truths..." (can't read it) and the ending (looks really clustered).

@thomaseo Thanks for the response mate. I agree. And also thanks for the constructive feedback - It's interesting looking back at this piece, it was the first kinetic typography I ever made and it was also one that got me a job. My more recent work is in my 2011 and hopefully a lot more will be coming soon, as that reel's now almost a year old!

[MrCheapsTD]

coming from this turd... yes, just words.

[The88Nomad]

Obama with BS speech, don't fall for this people....

[Atiweb]

Hey, maybe next you can form a massive cock out of his words and suck that, seems to perform just about the same function as this video.

[lukegordonharris]

@Atiweb Ah youtube, bastion of constructive, civilised comments.

[bryoneill11]

@Atiweb this video is pure inspiration... try to make one that gives you goosebumps with palin, bachman, odonell, bush, bush jr or any republican moron out there... I can make like 1 trillion inspirational videos with speeches from Obama, Clinton, Al Gore, Kennedy and Hillary.

Sadly the american people wont wake up to reality. He wont bring change. No president ever will. I know you wont like these words but seriously think really hard, have you ever thought to yourself that you guys are being deceived? Sickens me that people see him like a new MLK. JFK was the last great president that cared. Ever since, the rest have been puppets. Bringing no change for this country. The sad Truth..

[8THSOFDREAMS]

go fuck urself osama.ahem, i mean obama.sorry they just sound so alike...i wonder y

[JizzonTheDark]

Yep that pretty much sums up Obama.. Just words.

[herpderpable]

@Hunter1234561 It's a bit difficult to pass legislation when congress is dominated by republicans who seek to destroy the US rather than help it.

[amandagirlygirl12]

Really, one of his better speeches. People who are disappointed in him, you're starting to believe the same bullshit whites have said about blacks all along. You're drinking the "we whites are just better" kool-aid.

[forgottencitizen]

@amandagirlygirl12 I dunno man, he's losing support from blacks just as quickly.

[lilHippo]

OBAMA is one of those people that you see once in a life time, weather you feel he's doing good for this country or not. he has the power that many of the last few presidents havent had. the ability to inspire, the ability to bring AMERICANS together. i only wish he and everyone wasnt so clouded by PARTIES, the two parties are what is killing america not the president. DEMOCRACTS AND REPUBLICANS

[braininahat]

The most sinister president in American history. Jimmy Carter, the anti-semite, is more respected than this anti-American buffoon.

[isssssssce]

The difference between Obama and the men who spoke these "words" is that they were actually speaking from there hearts... ergo they were actually talking about actions they were taking, and would continue to take. Words without actions are meaningless

[EthanTheEnigmatic]

@isssssssce And the people who voted him in are just now discovering this.

[amandagirlygirl12]

@isssssssce never saw anyone who took so long to say "black" and "white". cos that's the difference. in YOUR heart

[knuckles04]

speaks like the rock

[1crazycan]

Great at inspiring people but it's what your inspiring them to do that matters and when it comes to that he's just a socialistic retard!

[bagoas]

Great work!!

[colloredbrothers]

This speech came from his heart you can hear it the other speeches he gives now are pure bs and prop

[LMAOhsnap]

This is actually really good... Gave me goosebumps. :]

Very nice job for your first typography. <3 Nice use of imagery to inspire.
