"Stayin Alive"... I mean "Still Alive" meets Kinetic Typography
vaintrain | 1:14 AM on 09.17.2008 7 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.

I think it could have been done better, but it's still pretty good!
(I think the spelling of GLaD was a nice touch)
