This is my first kinetic typography. It took SO long just to do half the song so I didn't have the patience to do the rest, sorry! Anyway, I did it with After Effects cs4 (wonderful program). Expect some more things like this from me eventually, but I need a break from animation for a while :)

  • 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?

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

  • 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!

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

    i am not a troll :D

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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • Flys = flies

  • 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 ^^

  • 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!
