"Stayin Alive"... I mean "Still Alive" meets Kinetic Typography
vaintrain \| 1:14 AM on 09.17.2008	6 comments

Kinetic Typography is an animation technique mixing motion and text. This text is presented over time in a manner intended to convey or evoke a particular idea or emotion.[/color]

Some commonly seen examples of this technique include:

1. The rolling credits of that Lifetime movie you ended up watching...Since your girlfriend was the last person to use the damn TV, and your lazy ass wouldn't get up to find the remote so here you're there watching a 4 hour feminist propaganda/hallmark movie with no less than 50 commercials about feminine hygiene products and depression medicine.

2. Another reminder that Portal's "Still Alive" really takes the cake.

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
