I've seen this on my television numerous times. I was staring typography right in it's face. I had to laugh while watching this video though, becaue of the simile's used and the extravagant description of a burger! However, this is the best piece of typography i've seen. This must of taken hours to make.

Joker - Why So Serious? - The Dark Knight -Typography
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D91xdNwRfHI&feature=related
I'm very keen on this piece because of the hidden symbolism, the words create the jokers face, if you watch the clip you'll notice. This video it appeals to me. The audio is actually scarier than the film scene itself. The timing once again was great. My only bad fault was the word son after why so serious, i didn't hear the word son.

This is a great piece. I've seen so many 'why so serious' pieces and it really got boring. It was good that the editor opted to use a different scene. The effects work, by effects i mean the smoke in the background, when the joker says he's only burning his half and half the sentenced is erased with smoke and finally the dynamite effect as the words burn away. Everything is timed to perfection and the font and colours match well. The colours were dark as expected for a film and scene like this.

Kinetic Typography - Hot Air Balloon Owl City

This is by far the worst piece i've come across. (So far!)
'I lit a match and let it catch, to light up the room' Okay, personally i would of used fire to go with that line as it would light the room up. The only negative point i could come out with is the white and grey writing isn't as clear. I would of used black so it would stand out. I think the writing goes just a little bit quicker than the song-but maybe i'm wrong and from someone else's perspective they may see different. The air baloon image works perfect as it goes with the song lyrics. The background colours were brilliant, the creator could of opted for a black background-but why would an air baloon fly in the darkness. Fantastic work by the creator!

This piece i feel is better than the zombieland piece. The pink text colour, i thought was attractive. The colour reminded me of willy wonka. The font, if i'm correct is the font off the film 'Charlie and the chocolate factory' itself. If i am correct then the font is a great addition to the typography piece. Once again the timing was on time, if the timing wasn't on time then the video would be a disaster. The animation of the bottles bubbles floating in the air was a clever idea. I liked the way when willy wonka said "Clear as crystal". The creator made the words flash.

Having watched this numerous times so i can develop my opinion, i thought it was hard to state whether this was a good piece of typography or not. I'm new to typography so i'm no expert. I did like this piece, it was clean piece. I thought the black and white background worked well. I thought the font was dull, but it worked with the script. The timing was great and accurate. I did like the transitions for the words and my favourtie part was word within a word. I thought that was smart.
