Kinetic Typography

While I was working on the Dot Dot Dot re-creation, my friend showed me a cool animation that was done in a similar style. It's an animation of what's written in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (I think).


I don't think you could make all of the elements in After Effects (like the birds or the lines turning into figures). I think you would have to either do all of this in Flash (like the original Dot Dot Dot animation) or create certain elements in Flash or Photoshop and import them into After Effects in order to complete the video. But the movement of the text and basic shapes is definitely do-able.

The other video I found that was done in this style took the "I'm Mad as Hell" speech (I can't remember what movie it's from) and turned it into kinetic typography while playing the original audio underneath. I think this was the first example of kinetic typography I had seen before finding the Dot Dot Dot video. I really like that style of animation and I'd like to do my own, but I have no idea what pre-existing audio or text to base it off of. If anyone has any ideas, let me know...
