BrainPicks No.1 - Watch some Type

I love movies. I love type. And i love music. These 3 facts make me love some of the great typographical videos out there. Some of them I can watch over and over. Damn …. I really love it! Don´t know what I am talking about? Have a look for yourself:
Chemical Burn:
The first one is a typography experiment animated and designed by graphic artist Sebastian Jaramillo based on the movie Fight Club on the scene “Chemical Burn”:
Typography from Vancouver Film School
The next one was created by Vancouver Film School students Boca (aka Marcos Ceravolo) and Ryan Uhrich through the VFS Digital Design program:
The Hush Sound - Lions Roar:
OMG. I really love this one. I love the way how the words play with the lyrics:
Duck and Cover
The next video is using the audio from an old public service announcement called “Duck and Cover” from the 50s:
The Child
The next Video was created by Antoine Bardou-Jacquet for the french dj Alex Gopher. What a great idea: A world made only with typographics:
…
I have no idea who this band is or what they are singing about - but have a look at the video and you will know why i post it here. It´s sooooo good. (If anyone know who this band is: Tell me
)
Mutemath - Chaos
This one is great. The creator of this writes on YouTube : “..and this is what i feel when I listen to this..” And i think he did a really great job. When i first watched the clip i thought it was an official video.
I love the black and white style of it:
Citizen Cope - Let The Drummer Kick
I play drums for 17 years now … so the next song is a must for me. So let the drummer kick !
Van Halen - Right Now
The next one is a real piece of art to me. I love the song and the video is great! Lyrics, Pictures, Story - it all fits together. Don´t you think?
So this is the first part of my collection of “typovideos”. What do you think? What are your favourites? Feel free to leave a comment…


















Waaaaayaaaallll it’s hard to pick just one because they’re all great! I must admit that I’ve never been much of a Van Halen fan in the past, but that’s a good one - lyrics, music, video, the whole enchilada. Chemical Burn would be my second fave…thanks for posting these! Patty
