Minimalism - Kinetic Typography Poem

[bostonbaab]

That is so clever. s it all done in After Effects?

[AtheistExplains]

This is a great poem.

[anne31459]

@Giymo11 i think that the simplicity of just words making thoughts and evoking feelings is minimalism at its best. but yeah, this poem is pure awesomeness....

[rpascuttini]

Awesome! I loved this!

[Jesslah6789]

@FineMays *hole

[FineMays]

basically... theres a dot in this painting. white sarrounded it. he was angry since it looked like it was made by a child who was told to go wild but was retarded so but in a dot. the artist said there was a whole so he colored it with paint. the janitor came by and said that the painting on the end is just really black in the dark. so thye left. he looked at the sky and saw the moon. it looked familiar to him. a white dot sarrounded by black, who knew.

[Raeafu]

OMG poem is brilliant

[TheReverb1]

...and cool edited.

In my opinion, not so many space for minimalism, looks more like futurism

[kehnie]

New Dr. Suess?

New Dr. Suess.

[IntrepidStranger]

But it was art, and that's the point, isn't it?

[Messerchmitt11B]

guy should visit the mental facility once in a while...

[Ledo10181]

This is truly awesome! I -love- it! one of my most favorite videos I have found in my Youtube surfing! thanks! =)

[vinceandlilly]

Mind = Blown

[BustDaMove]

that video is art!

[sammi5133]

.... My mind just exploded. There are chunks everywhere.

[ObsceneParanoia]

I absolutely love this. The typography is great and gives the poem/work more emphasis and power. :P I've read most of what you've posted on your site, but it's funny, a couple of them, I had to read a couple of times, and it seemed not to flow in my head, but when you speak, it all falls into place. Kudos. <3

[Valckior]

The animations were a trip for sure, and I like how you put the words all into a little black dot, great going :D.

[GlobalPSPower]

pretty sure i got mind fucked at the end

[Aepotheosis]

I really like your poem. I would offer to blow you but I believe we live two states away

[utubegirlx]

Clever than most videos I admit and of course sycophants abound here on the tube so I will try to make it minimal. I see the .

Minimalism, nihilism, fatalism...etc, etc, etc.

"isms" were the beginning of our downfall. Thanks for the laughs, and it is my wish that this endeavor allows you to avoid ever being in a cubicle.

[Giymo11]

Hm... The poem is pure awesomeness, and I really like it (I even think of doing one myself)...

BUT: it is called "minimalism"

the only thing this animation lacks ^_~

[azrienoch]

@Giymo11 One of the many ironies within.

[ObiRevolution1]

Such an amazing poem, in my opinion. The Kinetic Typography is really nice and complements the message well.

[kahbkah]

I like the way the painting shows what minimalism is. In the end the black dot is just like every other painting and then he sees the moon, which is essentially the same thing, but when we look at the moon we see don't just see a white dot, we see something beautiful.

[KnottEasy]

this is insane goddamn

[ThePhilosophyBoy]

Man how much I would pay you to teach me.

[kmwisnew]

Google, "teach me how to Dougie."

...and by Dougie I am fairly certain he means, "Kinetic typography." It's an allegory.



[veriden22]

This is genius. Nothing more, nothing less.

[drummerboy15951]

just the way you talk makes the clip for me :)

[MeganCarew]

The poem is brilliant! Quite as brilliant as the type execution :)

[andybpiano]

I love minimalism.

[3eneboy]

this is amazing because it has so many points within it, that at the end the point is unclear rather like a small dot of black that is covered in white

[SnugglyJeff]

Is This Poem Abt Racism And How In The Dark U Can't See The Difference In Our Human Being? As You Cant See Our Skin Colour Jst Our Humanity? Well Thts Wut I Thought Anyway......

[gluntford]

"The grinch that pondered artfaggotry"

[PlushieClock]

My perspective of that black dot got totally cleared by the janitor. I love how this poet thinks. Bravo! :D

[kimbostube]

ouch, your art feels goooood

[PadreFan9228]

I'm gonna use this for my poetry essay. If you don't mind. It's brilliant.

[mcpartridgeboy]

THE TYPE IS NICE THE SPEACH IS STUPID, WHY WOULD YOU PAINT SOMETHING BECAUSE IT WILL LOOK THE SAME WHEN ITS IN THE DARK, SO WILL NO PAINTING AT ALL, MIGHT AS WELL JUST HAVE NO PAINTING SO STUPID

[dragonmoony]

where is this from ? please tell me, it's awesome

[ColourblindKisses]

that was amazing

[Danielst15lm]

was so high when watched for the first time...

[cursedFarmer]

Probably get this alot, but is the your own peice, or did you get it from somewhere?

[gozage]

is the software used to make this called Kinetic Typography or something else?

[444Red444]

if people comment on the dislike button i press the dislike button to make them look foolish :)

[MrSimonPlays]

Oh god. Love it.

[burntfart]

i love it!

[beanergooknigg]

gay

[falconpunch10]

@beanergooknigg obviously you could not expect such a feeble minded individual to understand such a powerful piece of literature

[mcpartridgeboy]

@falconpunch10 are you one of those people that stand and look at modern art for hours pondering the exhistance of man hahahahaaa i bet you are, that was a shit piece of literature and only a pretensious nob head could pretend to like it paint a dot because all art looks the same with the light out hahahaha what a wanker

[falconpunch10]

@mcpartridgeboy well thats not very polite...

[socrstreets]

Nykytyne would hate this video, but who care's about his opinion on art.

[hamalinzor]

When I heard/read this poem, I couldn't help but think of "Высшая точка" cartoon, by Bidstrup.

[slovok]

That was fantastic. 

[jelcruz81]

quality work. there may be differences in art pieces: color, emotion, etc, but all the same: expression.

i love that the narrator noticed the white dot on the black sky--there is an Artist responsible for it.

[youastonishme]

I love how it all ended. I loved the poem more than the typography.

[jahanzebk91]

Your poetry is just Amazing.

Even that is an understatement

[Renitamac]

I liked the guy's voice and the tempo of his speech more than I liked his lame attempt at philosophy or psychology or whatever that was.

[MicoCoolBreese]

this is like Dr Seus but soo confusing!!! :(

[Renitamac]

@MicoCoolBreese That WAS like Dr. Seuss.......that's why I liked the tempo, I guess.

[MicoCoolBreese]

@Renitamac haha same.. just wish i could get what the whole thing means :P

[twistedsteel662]

pretty coo'

[DomWogboy]

wow that poem was deep, can someone explain it to me please? haha

[arsy14]

You are the simply AMAZING!

[AlexVidSource]

I now see everything in a different way.

Good job ;)

But it's something...

[Briancmwilliams]

@Caladors I was just thinking that too.

Damn why couldn't he just sum up the meaning at the end haha. :P

[WarriorOfWriters]

@Caladors a new appreciation for simplicity.

[livevetica]

Sheer brilliance.

[TrueAiR]

[dimebag690]

[Ahmedmega10000]

[prophet711]

Wow man, that was a totally awesome poem. I'm a poet too and I have written over four thousand poems in the last five years. I'm impressed. I got to check out your other ones. Very inspiring. Now if I could just figure out how to do the kinetic typography...

Bravo.

[phsycomusicpower]

YOU BLEW MY MIND

[RavenAmongDoves]

A great poem, with great graphics! I enjoyed this immensely!

[harakiw]

It`s so essential An essentially quaint expression Of essential potential in all of the

People who have a potentially small dot Of their own

wow this is so... wow

[chuckapup]

This poem is amazing. I favorited it and I can't stop watching it.

[binsbai]

i hate to be paddle against the current- but i dont see much substance in the poem - not much but a gymnasium of words

[KingOfTheBritains]

@binsbai the story is what counts. how the speaker doesn't understand, how he rationalizes it, how the artist has a different perspective than the speaker and also speaks in that round about way, and how the janitor has a completely different perspective that encompasses all art, that is that the dot is what you make of it. you can choose to see it as a dot, or a dot of life, or as any number of different things cause "sonny, that's what the dot turns into." :)

[tumbao023]

Let me start off by saying, AMAZING! graphics and writing. But i dont get the end with the moon.. I know its opposite of the black dot or w.e , but whats the message your trying to give us?

[KingOfTheBritains]

@tumbao023 that "the dot" is everywhere, we just don't recognize it? possibly? that's what i got from it.

[dancinmegs]

so amazing...it's brilliant :)

[thundermaze003]

I like this guys voice. And the poems not to bad either.

[MrCrapsly]

Dr Zeus anyone? But i though this is brilliant love it!

[playbackrewind]

@MrCrapsly

you mean Dr. Seuss? :)

i thought the same thing.

[eekafreak]

he sounds like dustin hoffman...

[ShutUpNtellMe]

Great video. Where is this extract/poem from? It's amazing.

[voltron747]

is that your voice? cause if it is it is entrancing

[chauntetherocker]

what program did you use for this?

[MetaOracle]

Love this! Showed this to a lot of my friends.. None of them get it lol. Wonderful poem though!

[necrosvrg]

your probably the only subscription i go out of my way to watch whenever you post a vid, this one reaffirmed that without question

[ZombusMaximus]

Wounderful poem about potential. Makes me feel like I could be the dot, the dot that has the potential to do anything.

[RaidChampion]

Wonderful. Actually made my quiet for 10 seconds after :)

[abaikitty]
