On my last article on Kinetic Typography ( I Heart Typographic Animation). A reader asked if I can put together some tutorials that can help one make his or her own version.

Here are videos and links that I hope would help:

It takes a lot of effort and time to create your own Kinetic or Type set in motion.  Hope you will consider the following when creating your own:

1.  Storyline – Just like creating anything moving, it would be great to pick a good storyline.  Whether you pick to make your own story or create something inspired by music, it is always good to allow your audience the benefit of watching something that they can easily understand or relate with.

2.  Choose your fonts wisely -  I believe what you will do is a work of art and like any other art forms, choosing the best fonts that will fit to your plot or mini video will be good.  It will also create more drama and imapct to your master piece.

3. Choose the best music or sound effect. -  a great piece of work will never be complete nor create more impactl without the music or the sound effects.

Ok now Go and do your masterpiece and when you are done, please share it with us, we would love to see what you have come up with.

Wow that is so cool! I saw this the other day and thought of this post. Wouldn’t it be neat to make the typographic lion move?

I’m a big fan of Kinetic Typography since running into a series on YouTube recently – wow, the Pulp Fiction one was amazing.

Needless to say that my next question was going to be: “How did they do that?”

Thanks for this handy list of tuts, I can’t wait to give this a bash.

Yup, you’re right. This isn’t the kind of thing you run off on a whim, just before supper is ready… !
