EVER CHANGING

Kinetic typography breaks away from its static state. It adds movement and a three-dimensional stereoscopicity, and the fourth dimension: time. Since the first appearance of kinetic typography in the film industry of the 1950s. Saul Bass, an award-winning film-maker and graphic designer first used the technique in Alfred Hitchcock’s film “North by Northwest” in 1959. In the opening sequence, credits fly in off-screen and fade out into the film itself. They evoke an intrinsic energy and suspense of the movie. Since, the technique was constantly developed and became a playground for many designers and visual artists. The fusion of aesthetics, emotions, and technology enables a wider sense of interaction—and surely, some fun.

“Ultimately, I’m trying to capture things that physically can’t be captured in camera. I usually try to work photorealistically, that is, to create detailed textures and lighting conditions. In the best case, the viewer should be amazed and wonder how something like this can be visualized at all.”
