Ikea by Jonathan Coulton (kinetic typography)

This video was my first Adobe AE project. It's the kinetic typography version of the wonderful song "Ikea" by Jonathan Coulton.

Not really 'kinetic typography' as 'a fancy way of showing the lyrics', but good. Kinetic typography is more where the words do what they do, so like... the intro "long ago in days of yore" would be in the context of something like the old tapestries in that font, etc. See 'Shop·Vac' and see how stuff like the word 'dog'... is a dog, etc. Nice attempt, clean visual style.

@d1rcwill According to Wikipedia 'Kinetic typography—the technical name for 'moving text'—is an animation technique mixing motion and text to express ideas using video animation.' There are many ways of doing so, and while this is a light one, the Shop Vac has many plus features. Simply, other ways of doing kinetic typography.
