Yeah, we didn't fight this one too much. Even though it's a student project and transformative, it does use the complete song and that potentially cuts into the benefits the Flobots should enjoy with their copyright.

Cool idea you had to enjoy it the way it was intended to be seen, however.

GODDAMNIT what happened to the sound

[ValenciaDigitalMedia]

They asked us to take it down.

All of you are correct. We're hosting it on the school's youtube account and the student put it up on his personal account as well.

3. if you stop some of the videos at the point where you see the frame full of words, that's the final 'field' of text. students create this a variety of ways (Adobe Illustrator for instance). Words sit on different tracks, invisible until the playhead hits them. If you were to look at a timeline, it would look kind of like a staircase, with the words staggered in time.

If you want to see a cool use of camera and text, google the web video series 'Drawn by Pain' and look at their promo video.

the typography projects from Amanda Kern's class were done in Flash, you'll learn the concepts and software to create these types of projects in

Fundamentals of Typography, and

Fundamentals of Interactive Design

As far as some of the software 'tricks' used in the projects, one includes creating a field of text in a frame and then revealing the design one word at a time as the song progresses.

I'd search for online tutorials with keywords. 'motion typography tutorials'

alrite, i had windows media player in the background with the enternet setup next to it. i pressed P on the keyboard then dashed my mouse to youtube and clicked the video so that the song would play to it. and i gotta say, this was awsome! verry good job. i wish it would be easier to watch though xD

Two windows, a little timing, no problems.

Anyway, at evasiveness, you're losing a lot of the magic. He talks about "double face" right before that, and he's referencing that picture where it's either two faces or a vase. Took me a while to get that one.

You can use it if your a school. Just contact them back and tell them that you're a school. Generally speaking, though, Youtube epicly fails when it comes to understanding copyright law.

it probably got marked as copyright infringement
