Glad you liked it.

I enjoyed watching this, thank you for sharing. Just how long did it take you to make that font? Judging by the looks of it, it must have been a couple of weeks at the very least... all that work boiled down into a video of roughly three minutes.

I used a video camera, actually! then downloaded to imovie, added the b/w filter and sped it up to the max three or four times over. Found out about something called Screenium after I did this, though. Anyone tried it?

[AbbeyRoadFortyLicks]

@WebmasterJG personally i recommend iShowU HD

[jbabc0ck]

very cooll!

it is very interesting but you won't find any good money in it any time soon.

it takes a LONG time, but it is fun.

(i could watch this one an awful lot, pretending to be this fast!)

what program did you use to capture the video?

[Volkai]

Wow.

And you can get paid for this?

Tempted to look into doing this as a job, it seems very interesting....

[Radokun]

Can you list the program's your using?

[WebmasterJG]

The letters were scanned, autotraced and sorted in Illustrator CS3. I then copy and paste the alphabets into Fontographer 4.7.3 where the cleanup is done and the rest of the characters created.
