Kinetic Typography - Fireflies by Owl City

[JustKeepFilming]

hate to burst your bubble but you spelled "flies" wrong :P

i am not a troll :D

[SlamminStam]

Wow, this is SO good, especially for your first attempt. I love how you actually used almost completely just words and avoided too many visuals. Other videos use too many pictures, I feel. If it's typography, it should be mostly the movement of words and not cute little pictures.

[NinjaGoldRoger]

This looks awesome. And I loved the hidden letter in seem.

[awhyk]

very wonderful job, especially since you said it's your first attempt. good job!

[CrystalShadowMk2]

For a first, that's amazing work. However, as someone else pointed out, you made a grammatical error. Something nerdy and somewhat trivial, however you need to avoid them to get these perfect.

NOICE

[patchikins00]

Flys = flies

[minamino17sayuri]

how many hours it took you to make it?just curious cause i have to do an animation for a project at school and i want to incluse kinetic typography in it ^^

[isawstarz]

That is a really good job ^_^ i took a Flash class at school, and we had to make one of these with a movie quote or part of a song, and it was soooo much work! I haven't done a full song yet, or added sound. This is especially good for a first time!

[TheRetardBoyz]

IT SHARD :D

[googke101]

It started out so well! Until you misspelled "Fireflies."

[Anake11]

Sooo awesome! One of the best ones I've seen! I hope you'll finish it one day if you ever get that patience back :D

[bajanstarz5]

What program did you use to make this is pretty good

[ssbrwl]

This is remarkable and I have a hard time believing this is your first video. I really like how you revisited some letters like how you did with "awake" and "asleep" and how you did disco ball

A simply wonderful job!

[eMowlicious]

its cool i just dont like the type you used

[myusikah]

That's really cool.

[Shinyapplz]

its a shame you can't spell

[MimePka]

for ur first time that is PRO

i tried making it, and even with 2 words, i couldnt take it lol

[Hoopi2CP]

what program did u use?

[MrJaobb]

really nice job man.

[gafinilan]

Just absolutely amazing!

[dobbynfred072107]

AMAZING. Really amazing. One of the best typographies I've seen. You have to finish it...please?

[Sorrythatnam]

what program?



[ReaganSmash1994]

Nice first try dude.

[TechnologicalUK]

Amazing, i would never have guessed that was your first try! AMAZING!

[creepy46]

Not a fan of the song, but fantastic typography, very suiting.

[garbleflank]

great job man,

props from a fellow owl city typographer xD

[creaviteproductions]

that is nice, but you just HAVE to work on the camera movement, on the easing and the way things are blending...

but it's nice.

[DeweyBoyOnFIRE]

ok that part where the works make a E

that was so awesome!!!

[cambanimation]

thats really good mate. well done

[JoYaAtze]

good work, man ;)

[Polekkrystoff]

nice

[TonOfDoc]

These take SOOOO LONG

and you did SOOOOO good.

I'm trying to get mine done, and it's literally just so much work to actually make it worth watching.

Gold Star!

How do you get around the copyright crap? I have several After Effects projects I would like to upload but they just get muted due to WMG and their big noses. Do you know a way around?

[theboxmobile2007]

I think it just depends on the song and the company. I was just lucky with Fireflies. :P

@TeenagersAndTheirCra Nice Reference! I appreciate that too!

[geek4freaks]

@sarahkaygamble put your stuff on vimeo if youtube won't let you

[robinberlin72]

It somehow reminds me of the title sequence of the movie VACANCY!

[Scelestus3]

@robinberlin72 Vacancy had this classy way of touching on old styles of intro and new styles of intro. I know completely where you're coming from. =)

[sterlingenuine]

How do you get the words to movie like that, where did you get the effects, like the fireflies things, and such? Is it possible to make a tutorial? Please

[erictsci9]

pretty cool i liked how the words were spinning

[theboxmobile2007]

O Rly?

[erictsci9]

@theboxmobile2007 yes rly

[theboxmobile2007]

haha

[erictsci9]

@theboxmobile2007 so whats up

[ainekatt]

Love it. Especially the tear drops part.

[j1mmyarts]

it' Shard little messup wut for the rest it's nice

[theboxmobile2007]

Haha, my Dad said he saw that too. Potatoe Potahtoe

[flexpoint11]

you should use easy ease on the word movements itll make it alot smoother

[theboxmobile2007]

Thanks, I'll work on that next time :)

[SaphrisMoreonXavion]

That was just amazing! I love the song, and that video added greatly to it. 25 stars (I'm going over the 5 star limit, but that's okay! :) )

[melonsgurl5]

that is so good! how did u do that? btw, thats my fave song! perfect choice!

[mwAzn]

Very very superior for your first try. I highly doubt anyone could do this good for their first try. Great job, I'd love to see more.

[amylovesedward94]

very nice choice in music

[09porcupine]

I have to say I really liked it......!

[theboxmobile2007]
