Typophile Film Fest Opening Sequence

Posted by laryn, Jan 11, 2009

Here's an interesting video sequence to open the Typophile Film Fest 4. Summary: a life in typography, in three minutes.

There's an interview with the creators here:

B R E N T "It’s definitely more digital than one would suspect. But it’s got an analogue soul. I will say that several scenes were shot frame-by-frame, and a lot of the art was scanned paper."

C O L E "The hand-made look is partially a result of our limited abilities when it comes to using After Effects, though that aesthetic was originally part of the art direction. I think almost all the parts that look really hand-done look that way because they were hand-done (retirement cake, desk/book doodles, TUMS and menu board, crayon drawings and so on) while some parts were digitally created to look hand-done. For the most part though, the ideal behind the piece was to find and create as much of the work as possible by hand before bringing it into the computer."
