Chris Dean Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 This topic was imported from the Typophile platform When teaching typography, I sometimes like to start presentations off with an interesting video. For example, a friend of mine just showed me the DVNO video. I am suggesting we all pitch in and help each other build a library of typography videos to excite young design students. Imagine a room full of 18-24 year old 1st-2nd year design students who don’t know a lot about type, and if they do, they probably think it’s dull. I’ve used A clip from Hero with the dying calligraphers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoIvd3zzu4Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61d_DiZ7MH4 Thanks for your time. [edit — some links are now borken. I will try to fix soon] Link to comment
DrDoc Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 This video, Pulp Fiction in Typography, is a really cool way to show what can be accomplished with type, even though it's not directly related to the subject.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syf8olcM0z4 Link to comment
Chris Dean Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 I love that one. It was the first one I ever used in a presentation. Funny thing was, even though 2 out of 20 had never taken a type class, they had ALL seen it! At 32 I guess I'm too old to keep up with this whole "cool" game. c Link to comment
TaboGarcia Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 This is a school project I did last semester. We could only use black and white type... Link to comment
AGL Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 DVNO! hehe : Funnier then this, impossible. Cheers! Andre Link to comment
Chipman223 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 DVNO was just on someone's blog. I think it was michael rock or someone of the like, I'm kinda talking out of my ass at the moment. Since my co-worker linked me to it on thursday, I've watched it like 7,000 times. I'm debating on buying it from iTunes because it will remind me of great motion type. It's an excellent correction to the cheese-tastic 80s logos. Link to comment
baconpress Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Some great motion graphics projects Link to comment
baconpress Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 This could be cool as well, not sure. Link to comment
Chipman223 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Not sure how many people actually get this channel, but AMC (American movie classics) has great ads for it's movies done completely in type, usually using famous movie quotes (in H&FJ's Ziggurat). Not the best example, as they've gotten better since: Link to comment
baconpress Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Not sure if this is real or not, but it is also 'for AMC'. This one is more type driven. Might not be something you would show in a classroom though. http://youtube.com/watch?v=tW78mR5DyNQ Link to comment

Chris Dean Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Good stuff folks. Keep it coming. Link to comment
Don McCahill Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I hope that this course is not going to just be watching videos. The best way to teach typography is to have students render type. Only by drawing the characters will they see the subtle differences and begin to understand them. (Your course will be less fun, but better learning.) Link to comment
Chris Dean Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 These are simply little video clips to kick off a class for 18-24 year old 1st-2nd year design students. Nothing serious, just a little fun. Link to comment
